    Who is to blame for the death of King Duncan? How would this have been interpreted by a Shakespearean audience? I think Macbeth was to blame for the death of King Duncan‚ he comes across as a very weak character yet he is ambitious and brave which is shown at the beginning of the play where it said sliced a man from the middle‚ up and placed he’s head on a spike. “…Till he unseamed him from the nave to the chops‚ And fixed his head upon our battlements.” Act1‚ Scene 2‚ lines 22-23 This impressed

    Death of Hope The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald ends with Gatsby’s death and Nick’s return to the Midwest. The author is illustrating throughout the novel the society’s views of the American Dream in the 1920s as the best way of life‚ but often it is not true and very few people end up living the dream. Fitzgerald exhibits this in The Great Gatsby through the downfall of the unhappy‚ yet wealthy‚ and through the lessons learned by the people surrounding them. The American society is corrupt

    Gatsby’s death scene comes from a strikingly different point of view. In the novel‚ Nick’s continual assertion of his own beliefs maintains the audience’s interest in his opinions rather than Gatsby himself. While delineating the scene of the crime‚ Nick interjects that he “firmly [believes]” that Gatsby’s servants “knew [about the bodies] by then.” Fitzgerald‚ in turn‚ assures that it is clear exactly whose life The Great Gatsby depicts. On the other hand‚ Wilson clearly narrates the 1974 death scene

    The Great Gatsby‚ written by F. Scott Fitzgerald‚ has a rather ambiguous and inaccurate title. Narrator‚ Nick Carraway‚ re-tales a story that seems to be unfairly biased on the description of Long Island’s West and East Eggs‚ but also on the portrayal of the characters involved in this story‚ particularly‚ the portrayal of Jay Gatsby.
