Lady Macbeth is one of the most interesting and unexpected female characters in William Shakespeare’s literature. She is a much stronger, ruthless, and ambitious character than her husband, Macbeth.

However, the staggering sagacity and the manifestation of Ma’at in such an overwhelming way in the life of a peasant seems to inaccurately represent the plight of a Middle Kingdom peasant. Additionally, just as is true in “The Story of Sinuhe,” “The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant” greatly slants the moral righteousness of the king for purpose of glorification, a typical Egyptian motif. “The Story of Sinuhe,” however, offers many more reliable representations of principles of social life in the Middle Kingdom. Through the documentation of Sinuhe’s life and travels throughout the lands surrounding Egypt two fundamental ideas of Egyptian life come to light, the concept that the king represents all importance in Egypt and the notion that being Egyptian is truly the pinnacle of existence. This tale also personifies the trait of a hatred of foreigners in Sinuhe as he constantly claims to have “killed the people in it by my strong arm, my bow, my maneuvers, and my advice” (59). While both of these stories offer information at face value about Middle Kingdom social life, an analysis of the rhetorical slants, inaccuracies, and propaganda used by these Egyptian authors provides valuable enlightenment as well.

After watching the video on the MP’s in Abu Ghraib, I would have to say that the whistleblower acted in authority as an MP to report his cohorts. As for the 7 that were accused of the crime, they acted in social conformity. I feel like it was a think group gone wrong. the ringleader had a more powerful personality than the others, so he lead them along. I believe the thinking came from the idea that those people were the enemy and should be treated as if they were. Often times when people are exposed to traumatic situations they lose the ability to make choices on there own as well as the sense of what is right and wrong. I am not making excuses for their actions. However, I think in a case of war the whole idea of right and wrong could easily be lost. when people are dealing with trauma and they have no idea how to comprehend like In such case they follow the lead of the strongest personality to get them though.
