Exposition: One of the hardest things to deal with are arguments with close friends. Some time ago, I had a significant argument with my old friend, Jeffrey. Jeffrey and I go back all the way to preschool. Jeffrey is from German and American descent. We have always had differences on certain issues. However, we do not let those differences affect our friendship. For example, when we talk about things we enjoy, anything I mention is not among the things he likes to do. Even simple discussions about phone tend to differentiate us. I believe that he doesn’t agree about what movies are best. Sometimes, he even denies that i am saying the truth. One day when Jeffrey came to my house, we talked about how things were going. We mentioned how we disagree

Examining The Dramatic Impact of Act 2 Scene 2 of “Macbeth” Considering The Significance of The Scene In The Play As A Whole.
personalities that can be interpreted in many ways by its audience. The story begins when
“Macbeth” a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, portrays, how the main character Macbeth, transforms from a war hero, to a murdering villain. Macbeth starts out as the thane of Glamis and steadily rises to become King of Scotland. The higher Macbeth rose on his road of power the more corrupt and evil he became. The character change of Macbeth ignites the whole theme of the play.
In the play “Macbeth” the author furthers the ideas of ambition, manhood and violence throughout the play using a gender lens, mainly for masculinity in men. In the play “Macbeth” ambition plays a big role in the man characters life; Macbeth. In Act 1 scene 3, lines 125-129, “And oftentimes, to win us to our harm; The instruments of darkness tell us truth.” (Shakespeare 1.3.125-129). This quote stated by Banquo foreshadows Macbeth further into the play. Macbeth ends up killing King Duncan because he wants to be in power over the kingdom. When Banquo questions Macbeth about the killing of King Duncan, Macbeth’s ambition to kill Banquo skyrocketed. Macbeth didn’t want anybody to think or know that he ended up killing King Duncan for power. This started a cycle of death for Macbeth’s ambition to kill to stay in power. This example of ambition from “Macbeth” has a very similar motif from the movie called “The Mask You Live In”. In the movie, George Orwell states, “He wears a mask and his face grows to fit it.” The idea of the mask he wear fits his face helps us further the reason for men’s ambitions. Men’s ambitions are driven by power and dominance over people and prized possessions. For men to be able to gain power, they need to prove how masculine they are to society. In doing so they are dehumanizing their biological thoughts and feelings and turning them into artificial ones in order to be seen more powerful or dominate to the public.
Whilst the character of Macbeth is initially portrayed as a noble kinsman, his ambition and motivation, directly influenced by the witches and Lady Macbeth, ultimately transforms him into a corrupt and ruthless tyrant. William Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy “Macbeth” clearly depicts this notion of change, illustrated through Shakespeare's utilisation of literary techniques. The tragic downfall of Macbeth is mainly attributed to Macbeth’s own greed and hubris.

In "First as Tragedy, Then as Farce," psychoanalytic philosopher and cultural critic Slavoj Zizek poses the question, "Why in our economy, charity is no longer the idiosyncrasy of some good guys here and there, but the basic constituent of our economy?" in order to expose the problems associated with charity in a cultural capitalist society. Zizek explains the tendency in today’s capitalism to combine our “egotist consumption” with our “anti-consumerist duty to do something for others, for the environment,” etc. Zizek’s goal is to identify the ethical connections to charitable donations and find a way to change this hypocritical system. He argues that this “charity” is not a solution to the problems of poverty
