false flattery. Instead of trying to out due her sisters, she merely describes
her love in relation to their filial bond. Although her father views this as a

He is wearing an "undeserved dignity." A crucial point in describing the purpose of clothing in ‘Macbeth’ is the fact that these are not his garments. Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is continually conscious of the fact that they do not belong to him. In the following passage, the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth’s new honours sit ill upon him, like a loose and badly fitting garment, belonging to someone else:

Some would say that the story has a very sexist attitude, but the fact of the matter is that it is a comedy about an assertive woman dealing with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century. Even further, Katherine is learning how she must follow the unwritten rules of her society in order to be accepted into it. Although the play ends with her acceptance to do what is expected by society this acceptance is only in action. Even though, she plays the part of the obedient wife, she still maintains her assertiveness, but now she just keeps it inside.
Shakespeare introduces ....

not felt by him alone but creates a chain reaction which affects everyone
around him. Besides, the hero must experience suffering and calamity slowly
which would contrast his happier times. The suffering and calamity
instantaneously caused chaos in his life and eventually leads to his death.
Finally, the sense of fear and pity to the tragic hero must appear in the play
as well. This makes men scared of blindness to truths which prevents them from

social position ....

She does this very cleverly. To help Telemakhos grow out of his cowardly
childhood, she comes to him as a good friend, encouraging the young boy to
do what he must and seek out news about his father. But when she leaves,

side on her part.
This can also be interpreted as a good action in some cases. When
Telem ....
