His bravery and loyalty are celebrated and‚ though fierce in battle‚ we are led to believe that his is a fundamentally good and virtuous nature. By the plays end‚ however‚ he has ’supped full of horrors’ and is regarded as a ’hell-hound’ by his peers.

Something that disturbs me about being a pharmacist in retail pharmacy is knowing that I am responsible for what everyone under me does. Something as little as a technician making a dispensing mistake (bottling the wrong drug) can cause me to get fired or even lose my license. I am also bothered about the long hours that pharmacists have to work. About 90% of the job is done on foot and this seems pretty tiresome. I still have questions as to why this is so. What is it about this career that people
