For example, when Lord Capulet made the decision in act three scene 5 that Juliet should marry Paris, her mother stood up for that decision even though she knew that Juliet didn't want to marry Paris. I think her mother should of been on Juliet’s side, because she's her mother and she has experience in marriage and should know marrying someone you do not like is not a good idea. Also, another betrayal .....

.... creatures, and higher brain activity seems to be in short, and in Odysseus' case, valuable, order. It is also wise to remember that history is written by the winners.

Considering the ability to affect feelings with similes, and the one-sided view of history, Homer could be usin .....
