Folly Essay – Twelfth Night For my essay I have chosen to write about Malvolio. He is Princess Olivia head steward and confidant. In this play Malvolio proves to be an extremely complex character. As straight edged as he tries to be‚ Malvolio has definitely been stuck by several folly’s. Just as Feste stated in the play‚ “Folly is like the sun‚ it shines everywhere.” Folly operates in a way that the person it affects still believes they are acting with reason and logic. This theme is

The stories “The Black Cat” and “Hop-Frog” by Edgar Allan Poe are similar based on the presence of twisted love and the lack of guilt. The element of twisted love was portrayed in both stories. In Hop-Frog‚ Trippetta stands up for Hop-frog while he was being harassed by the king. While doing so‚ the King threw wine in her face. Hop-frog then began to speak gibberish and told the King about a wonderful costume idea. As the king went along with Hop-frog’s idea‚ Hop-frog was actually plotting the

The paid mourners and merrymakers‚ the court scribes and jesters‚ the Kingdom and its King‚ all gasped as the tiger’s claws ripped into youths flesh. Screams of horror were heard as blood soaked the ground. The King‚ looking almost giddy and joyful at the proceedings‚ failed to notice the single tear rolling
