“ Beware the Ides of March!” (I‚ ii‚ 23) The Tragedy of Julius Caesar was written by William Shakespeare in 1623. Like many other plays written by Shakespeare‚ there was always a message hidden in it. He wanted you to learn a lesson from his plays. Three topics that show the theme of the story are Caesar’s death causing Rome to revenge‚ Antony’s goodness winning over Brutus’s cruelness‚ and Brutus being defeated by the people of Rome. In this piece I believe the theme was good always outweighs evil

Cat Essay 2 In Beware the Cat‚ William Baldwin’s immediate target is Catholicism. This book is one of many anti-catholic satires that appeared during Edward VI’s Protestant reign. In this story Baldwin goes beyond putting down the practices of the Church of Rome and exposes some of its foundational problems. He portrays‚ satirically‚ how knowledge is obtained and passed down in the church. At this time the culture was going through a transition from a largely oral and visual way of communicating

Edgar Allan Poe and Roald Dahl both have different writing styles‚ but they also have some similarities. For instance both of the authors have a unique‚ dark way of writing stories. Both authors wrote some of their stories based on their childhood which in some cases was good and at other times was bad. The two authors both use similes when they write to make it more suspenseful for the reader and to explain the events in the story in a more detailed fashion. Poe and Dahl also use a great deal of

Roald Dahl’s life was almost as fantastic as his books. Dahl’s patterns in his life are much like the patterns in his novels. He made a clear connection with the tragedies that his characters are faced with. One theme that is apparent in most of Dahl’s work is the use of cruelty by authority figures on the weak and powerless. Dahl with humor turns this cruelty to be more of a positive‚ amusing aspect‚ rather than a negative traumatizing one that he himself was forced to overcome. Tragedy in the family
