tie slow burning, hemp fuses to the ends of his beard. He would light the fuses during battle to make his head look like it were on fire, giving him a very scary look. "The effect was terrifying. His face, with its fierce eyes and matted hair, was wreathed in smoke, and he looked to his prey like a fiend from hell" (Botting, Douglas – The Pirates). "Blackbeard's background, like that of most pirates, is obscure" (Botting, Douglas – The Pirates). However, it is believed that Black bead was born

for Baggy? That’s right Jimmy. I was going to arrange for her to meet me. Angie insisted that we try and take her alive and interrogate her. I was skeptical, a living clown is a dangerous clown, but you do stupid things like that for your friends. The conversation went something like this: “Why exactly do you want to ask it questions?” “There has been a change in how clowns have been behaving all over the world.” “What sort of change?” “They are working together more. Also there has been a massive

interested in their original religion as much as they used to. Some began to focus more on their own lives, rather than churches and their god. Because the people wanted to get to know themselves better, they became more influenced on studying other things like Greek mythology and Roman writings. The use of humanism had become very popular during the renaissance period. Using the knowledge they gained about the human body, and made art work that could display the features of a human being more thoroughly

Throughout history pirates have terrorized the world’s seas. There are few men that have been feared as much as pirates were. Names such as pirate, buccaneer, and privateer were given to these men and women that terrorized the seas. Black Sam Bellamy, Bartholomew Roberts, Jean Lafitte, Stede Bonnet, and Ann Bonny are some of the most feared names know to man. These were the names of pirates that dominated the seas during the 1600’s and 1700’s, a time known as the “Golden Age of Piracy.” However,

thine own act and valour As thou art in desire?" By questioning Macbeths love for she is morally blackmailing him into doing this deed, she also calls him a coward for getting what he wants, "Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'' Like the poor cat i' the adage?"she also makes fun of him, she is trying to make out that unless he does this he wont be a man. She is calling him chicken. In Shakespeare's time killing a king was the worst sin, the plot that Lady MacBeth and

The Rape of Proserpina and Eve's Fall in Milton's Paradise Lost "She pluck'd, she eat" (PL IX.781). With these four monosyllables, Milton succinctly announces the Fall of Eve in Paradise Lost. Eve's Fall, however, is far more complex than a simple act of eating, for her disobedience represents a much greater loss of chastity. Indeed, Milton implies that the Fall is a violation not only of God's sole commandment but also of Eve herself, for Milton implicitly equates Dis's ravishment of Proserpina

Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth and Browning’s lady in lab share common characteristics of insanity as well as great ambition. The essay will explore dilemma faced by Lady Macbeth and the cruelty expressed in “The Laboratory”. Shakespeare’s play, was written in 1848, and set in the 11th century. The play was presented to King James I of England, and portrays one of his ancestors, "Banquo".

Chaucer is able to ironically portray the life friars lived throughout the 14th century. Geoffrey Chaucer was born around 1345 and lived in London. (Strohm par 1). He grew up being trained as a civil servant and diplomat. Around 1366 Chaucer married Queen Philippa of Spain (Encyclopedia of World Biography 483). Through being appointed to Parliament, he traveled to many different countries on diplomatic missions and was influenced by the contrasting types of writing (Strohm par 3). These experiences

inadequately equipped to deal with this because you can only learn from teaching or experience. When a lightening bolt strikes out of the blue; a death of a loved one or such we immediately see things from another perspective, something like this can make us see things in a whole different light, things that you once thought you were sure of can take on a whole new face and

General Introduction: Eight Great Tragedies In Greek the word “tragedy” means “goat song”, but the connection between tragedy and goat song is obscure. Perhaps a goat was the prize at some sort of early singing contest in Greece, or perhaps the dancers wore goat skins. One medieval writer ingeniously suggested that tragedy is called goat song because it begins prosperously, as a goat is abundantly hairy in front, and ends wretchedly, as a goat is bare in the rear. Dante Alighieri, whose Divine
