watching TV. The Addict lives hand to mouth from the potato chip bag. He is
lazy and will often go for hours without moving from the television.
If the Addict is not glued in front of the TV, he is most likely to be
found paging through his latest issue of TV g .....

Macbeth: Symbolism Of Blood
<view this essay>.... It is a metaphor that develops into almost the whole theme of the play. The word "blood" itself, or different forms of it was mentioned an astonishing forty-two times. The best way to examine how the symbol of blood changes throughout the play, is to follow the character changes in the man Macbeth. The actual meaning of the word follows Macbeth’s changes, from honor to treachery and treason, to guilt. First he is a brave honored soldier who saves his country by killing the enemy who committed treason (how ironic). But as the play progresses, he matures into a treacherous person who soon becomes identified with death and bloodshed even his own pity and .....
