Albert Lawrence T. Villanueva LS310 Claude Frollo uses the example of the spider and the fly to characterize the inevitability of his passion for Esmeralda and the certainty that it will destroy her.

The Roman siege on Masada ended with a tragic decision by the leader of the Sicarii. Before we can cover the Siege itself‚ we need to first understand the parties involved and what brought the two groups to this tragic end.
