Gaddafi And Macbeth Comparison

Instead of Macbeth being Thane of Glamis, he is a high-class chef of a well-renowned restaurant in the middle of London. The environment in Shakespeare Retold has changed from a Shakespearean era to the 21st century. Both Macbeth and Joe have high positions that will eventually lead to their downfall. Both the play and the film emphasize on the same values and they demonstrate how ambition and greed drive a human to their insanity and madness. For example, in Shakespeare Retold, Joe was introduced as a kind, jovial person who as a chef himself taught his fellow cooks how to properly make food. His desire to secure his throne, in this case, the main chef, made him disoriented and was breaking plates, and burning food, something he wouldn't do before. The loving aura changed and it was just filled with chaos, in which the environment was not a place where his workers wanted to be. The change of scenery from the kitchen to an ominous night was effective in such that viewers could see that it meant something bad was about to happened. Lastly, at the end of the film, the kitchen in a highly renowned restaurant was not as luminous as before. The lights were turned off by Joe, and this is where we could see that he was beginning to shut himself down.

Macbeth is a story of lust, power, tragedy, and violent disloyalty. The anxious imagination and symbolism of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth produces horrifying relief. The story is poetically gory but amusingly repetitive, and truly captures the dark side of spirituality. Any rendition of the play Macbeth, forms dynamic and disturbing themes within humanity.

When comparing the book Macbeth by Shakespeare, and the movie Macbeth directed by Justin Kurzel a few differences occur. One difference being the order in which the witches presented in the novel and movie. In the book, the witches are presented in the first act and first scene, whereas the witches in the movie are shown after Macbeth’s fight scene. Also in this scene, the witches say the “Fair is foul and foul is fair” chant separately, whereas in the book the witches say this chant in unison at the end of the scene. The reasons behind these changes vary, from making more logical sense to other to how “creepy” the director could lay the movie out. Although in the book version of Macbeth the chant the witches say in unison makes more sense because of its purpose of foreshadowing for what later happens in Macbeth, the director uses this scene to incorporate a spooky feeling towards the beginning of the movie, primarily using their tones and physical appearance to portray the book, rather than using the meaning of the words to portray the book.

“Leaders become great, not because of their power but because of their ability to empower others,” (John Maxwell). Dorothy and Macbeth are two characters in different pieces of fictional literature. Their method for solving problems is very much alike. They both reject their obstacles and display the same fault, pride. Macbeth puts all of himself into his pride and wanting for power, that in the end, he loses the crown and everything that he once loved. However, even though Dorothy has a sense of pride as well she is able to shift paths and gradually conquer her flaw by being there for a friend who before abandoned her, and give that same friend hope in a once thought of a hopeless situation. And by giving her friend a hand to hold she

Technocrats are a bureaucratic power that aid Congress and the president, or the government in general, in carrying out their intentions. The reason technocrats are needed is because, or it is at least theorized, that the increase in technological advancement also increased the need of these "technical experts." Since Libya is still forming their government, I believe that, in this case, that technocrats were a good choice because they can focus on their designated task under supervision, while others work on the forming of the best government for the Libyans. Once this government is created though, I believe that the power of this bureaucracies should weaken so that there is balance between powers. Another benefit of having the technical

Unlike what is emphasized by Obama in Extract 1, vast social reforms, immense welfare program, infrastructure-building were underway in Libya. As have been mentioned previously, Libya was one of the Africa’s most prosperous country due to the reforms that were done under Gaddafi’s regime. And as a result, by the time the 2011 crisis was unfolding, few people, mainly in the western world, were inclined to have any sympathy for Gaddafi or take any of his claims seriously, and the attempt of showing Gaddafi in a bad light quickly spread through the western mainstream media and Gaddafi had become hated in the western world. But the trigging factor is that, contrary to popular belief which had been transmitted by so many people, like Barack Obama, Libya under Muammar Gaddafi, whom was often portrayed as “tyrant” and “dictator” was in fact, Africa’s most prosperous democracy-according to the United Nations Development Index, prior to the U.S.-led intervention in 2011; according to the same index(see fig6), Libya had the highest GDP per capta, the lowest infant mortality and the highest life expectancy in all of Africa(see

As long we are in America, we have to know the American culture and follow the American law. Since I came to America, I have been trying to think as an American, pay bills, work 12 hours a day, have no social life, and have self-reliance. Unfortunately, money is everything here. I think there is a big difference between the Libyan culture and the American culture which I have seen since the first day I came to America. Our life in Libya was warmer; we had a asocial life, and money was not everything for us. What I like in America is that it is a multinational culture. We have to work with different people from all over the world, and we come in touch with different cultures. It is wonderful cultural
