Glamis, and King of Scotland, Macbeth would still be his ordinary self. As
a result of the prophecies, this aroused Macbeth's curiosity of how he

The Simpsons
<view this essay>.... child of the family, is an excellent student
and a nice person. She is almost the complete opposite of Bart except they both
enjoy the violent cartoons of "Itchy and Scratchy". Maggie, the baby of the

offensive material. The fact that the show is a cartoon may be what has kept
some people from watching. The cartoon though is what helps achieve many of the
humorous aspects. For example a spill of nuclear waste wou .....

Hamlet: To Kill Or Not To Kill

He would wait until Claudius had sins on his soul. Why put a killer in heaven. Claudius quickly learns that Hamlet wants to hav .....

greedy for more. And soon it gets out of control and now you have a corrupted
person who in order to change would have to step out of power and become a
person who doesn't control.
Nothing can really be done to sustain it or avoid it, if you take a corrupt
person in power and replace a fair and just person. Sooner or later they also
become corrupt. You just have to assume and hope the replacement will be a f .....

alternative newsletters.
