and tragic plots within one play, then, can be argued as being too distinct to be coherent. In The Insatiate Countess, however, it is the differences between the tragic plot of the countess, Isabella, and the comic plot of Abigail and Thais, that strengthen the play’s message supporting loyalty in friendship. Written by John Marston, Lewis Machin and William Barksted, The Insatiate Countess’ differing plots might be attributed to the presence of multiple authors. Critic Giorgio Melchiori states the

Countess Elizabeth Báthory In history textbooks, Elizabeth Báthory is called the Blood Countess because of her horrific murders and bloodthirsty actions. In the Guinness Book of World Records, she is ranked as the most murderous woman in all of history. Her gory actions of torture and murder have given her the reputation of being referred to as one of the first vampires in the world, with only Vlad Dracula surpassing her infamy. Countess Elizabeth Báthory was born in 1560 to Protestant nobility

The Countess and The Goose Sherlock Holmes has a mystery to solve, but does he make the right choice in the end? The countess has lost her jewel and they found it in a goose. Who put it there? In my opinion Sherlock Holmes did the wrong thing, by letting Catherine Cusack and James Ryder go. In the first place, they did frame an innocent man named John Horner. John had a wife and kids, he did not deserve to go to jail. He had a family and a house to support. He was also a hard-working

their background is or what is happening. In the musical The Countess of Storyville, there are multiple songs that help to further the story and push the plot along. Out of the numerous numbers, I have chosen three that I think make this musical ideal. The first song is the opening number. The opening number gives you insight to the location and events of the musical. In this case, it gives us background on the rumors surrounding the countess, the location of the musical, and introduces the antagonist

I was born into greatness. That's what I was told, and so it's what I felt. I was born an only child from the Theta-Countess into the most powerful family in the galactic empire. But I had no family left, my mother died in childbirth and my father died a warrior, defending our people from the everthreat that are the Ravineen sect - a planet destroying society dedicated to expanding their beliefs across the universe. I lived my childhood surrounded by robotic servants, raised by them to have everything

The Blood Countess Throughout time, the history of events and people have been wrapped by people passing the stories to each other. One person tells someone, that person tells a few more people, and the cycle continues. The passing down of stories is just like the Telephone game, where one person tells someone a sentence and is told to more people with everyone trying to keep the story just like they heard it. One of the many examples of the Telephone game being played in history is the story of

Initially, I felt that this paper should only be about her education and career but the more research I did on Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace, the more her personal life tied into her career. She her whole life was driven by the hatred that her mother had for her father, Lord Byron. Because of his mental instability, Lady Byron, pushed her in a direction far away from any of the likings of her father. Also, because Lady Byron pushed Ada so hard Ada never had a personal relationship with her mother

Countess Olenska is seen more as a free spirit in the book, and it is shown through descriptions of her unusual(or even a bit racey) clothing choice and her blunt honesty when giving her opinions. However, in The Age of Innocence, Ellen’s personality and way of life is not only described in her unusual behavior but in her place of living, a house on a less-than-worthy street. When Newland first visits the Countess’ house, the first thing that he notices it's a “strange quarter to have settled in”(55)

Ellen Olenska—a presumably promiscuous noblewoman—with lawyer Newland Archer’s submissiveness so as to suggest that women truly hold power over men during this time. Countess Olenska’s various actions exemplify how her strong traits result in her authoritative personality and her capability to control men.
