... finished praying for help, she acts as if she has a heart of stone and that Macbeth is not a man if he is afraid of killing Duncan. This is a prime example of her deception towards him, and how she acts differently when she is alone than when she is around him. Another example of her being two sided is the role she talks about playing in Duncan’s death, and the role that she actually does play in it. There are a few times in the play, mostly when she is attempting to persuade Macbeth into committing the murder, that she says he should just leave the murder to her. Throughout the play she gradually decreases her role in the murder until it become ...

... caused him so much mental anguish in the future, then Paul would not have been born premature and almost still.

He questioned the witness using a variety of techniques and seemed to receive less than uniform answers to the same questions that were asked in a different manner. At times the witness appeared confused and became frustrated and emotional as Mr. Finch continued to try and raise a reasonable doubt amo ...
... the story goes with her doctor/husband to stay in a colonial mansion for the summer. The house is supposed to be a place where she can recover from severe postpartum depression. She loves her baby, but knows she is not able to take care of him. “It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous”(Gilman 293).

... would Mr. Hyde look like his counter part in anyway or would he be made up of pure evil, like mini-me in the movie Austin Power The Spy Who Shagged Me. Edward Hyde was just that pure evil. Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish; he gave an impression of deformity without any namable malformation, he had a displeasing smile, he had borne himself to the lawyer with sort of murderous mixture of timidity and boldness, and he spoke with a husky, whispering and somewhat broken voice. (Stevenson 10) In this novel it states that a potion can isolate your evil side. But does it take more then that? In many people minds it would take the willingness of the person to want to ch ...
