The Punishment of Female Rebellion in ’The Bacchae’ and ’Macbeth’ To be a woman is to be submissive. Such is the case in regards to gender roles in both Euripides’s The Bacchae and in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. In both tragedies‚ women are expected to be weak and delicate‚ keeping to all but house chores and childrearing. Also in both tragedies are female characters who break the confines of their gender roles‚ giving opportunity for the play to present terrifying implications and consequences

After reading Boxers and Saints‚ a fictional book about the Boxer Rebellion in China‚ I took some time to reflect on the second prompt. I firmly believe that fictional representations of historical events can explain the true historical events that took place.

Louis Riel is arguably Canada’s most ambiguous hero. Riel was the representative leader of the Francophone martyr to English imperialism. The controversy between whether or not Louis Riel was a traitor or saviour was escalated on November 16th 1885 when Riel was hung. This controversy has lasted for over 125 years and brought about much debate as to how Louis Riel should be exalted. Through radical political efforts and motivation to fight for the people of the North West‚ Louis Riel represents a

Louis Riel is undoubtedly a national hero because he stood up for Métis rights. In my opinion Louis Riel was a hero in many ways. After the rebellions Riel could be called a villain because he challenged the government and wrongly viewed their ideas‚ led rebellions against the government and Ran away to the US after he killed
