appearances before the audience first meets her. Lady Macbeth does not seem evil from the outside, but she is insidious on the inside. Her manipulative nature shines through when she tells Macbeth he should, “look like the innocent flower,/ but be the serpent under it,” (act I. scene v. lines 71-72). Her deceptive persona in this scene mimics the story of Adam and Eve. She is attempting

Without literary devices, stories would not be memorable, elaborate, and original. In the short story, “The Cask of Amontillado” Edgar Allan Poe uses multiple literary devices to expand and detail the story, and also support the theme of revenge, by reason of the goal of the main character is to kill his rival. But the two most prominent devices in the story are irony and symbolism. Poe’s use of irony and symbolism establishes a theme of revenge throughout the short story. Irony can be

Everglades. All citizens agree that these serpents are a threat to the ecosystem in the Everglades, and are drastically altering the Everglades forever. Firstly, the Burmese Python can digest a multitude of different animals, shown by the article, Florida’s Python Hunt when it says,“ With no natural predators, these eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” These serpents are slowly making these animals become extinct

sly description. Furthermore, he was “coiled up like a dangerous serpent.” Serpents are mostly attributed as an evil force, which is a stark comparison to the behaviour of foxes. Another possibility is that he is compared to a coiled serpent due to his tempting and greedy behaviour. Historically, serpents were described as creatures of sin and temptation, included in books such as the Bible. Fox may likely be described as a serpent as he consistently tempts the magpie to abandon her friendship with

The art of tattooing dates back to four thousand years. Historically tattoos represent many ideas. I chose three tattoos in meaning and symbolism. I selected a phoenix, dragon, and a cross. First I tell you about the phoenix.This fiery bird is known in a variety of cultures, each with their own meaning and symbolism of the phoenix. The phoenix is a mythical creature said to be immortal. It is depicted with great plumage that is typically set ablaze. It is legend that it set itself aflame to die and

gave them perfect lives. One day Eve is tricked by a serpent, to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Eve tells the serpent “God has forbidden us to eat the fruit of that tree or even touch it; if we do, we shall die” (18). The serpent responds to her “Of course you will not die” (18). Eve obeys God, but the serpent goes against a God and tells Eve that she will be fine if she eats the fruit. Eve, along with Adam, are deceived by the serpent and eat the fruit, it gave them the ability to see flaws

The serpent is a representative figure in the book of genesis in the Hebrew Bible. The serpent represents Satan, and persuades Eve to eat the fruit God warned her and Adam not to eat. Disoebeying the wishes of God resulted in them being forbidden from living in the garden any longer, and therefore being condemned to a life of struggle and sorrow. The serpent tempted the two into rebellion, Just as Montag is tempted eventually to

for the Battle of Armageddon described in chapter 19. It will be a great struggle, but it will end in victory for the Lamb. After the way is prepared for the kings of the east to come, the serpent and the false prophet will be ready to go into action. The serpent is undoubtedly the seven-headed dragon or the serpent described in chapter 12 and identified with the devil. The beast is the antichrist. Now, the second beast, the beast out of the earth or the land (13:11-17), is named for the first as the

to protect others. When one is willing to sacrifice their life for others, it definitely makes them stand out as a hero for the reason that not many people would be willing to be as selfless as a hero would be. For instance, in “Li Chi Slays the Serpent”, Li Chi has no qualms about possibly sacrificing herself to save the village and sneaks away from her parents to do so. In “Flying Head”, the woman is willing to not only endanger herself, but her baby as well, thus proving the ultimate sacrifice

On a trip through Hell, Dante and his guide Virgil journey through the different layers of Hell, observing the punishments of various famous sinners. In the poem “Inferno”, Alighieri describes his travels through Hell while justifying the contrapassos he assigned to different categories of sinners. He encounters many sinners in the other Circles, but spends much the poem describing the punishments and sins of the Falsifiers of circle Eight. In determining contrapassos, Alighieri used his own life
