Beowulf

From this stam ....

.... way. Thou wouldst be great, Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it. (1.5, 14-18 ) Lady Macbeth then discusses the issue of killing Duncan with her husband. He first disagrees but then approves of the idea. Lady Macbeth wins largely by appealing to Macbeth's valour. This proves that Macbeth was greatly influenced by his wife and that she toyed him around using his only weakness- his vaulting ambition. As Schucking talks about Shakespeare's tragic heroes: He creates a hero such as Macbeth, who is a moral coward and for a while a henpecked husband, who in critical moments is rebuked like a schoolboy by his wife and who, on the other ....

.... posed in each sheet are provided here: Political Freedom: An Expression of the American Mind This study sheet focuses on the pivotal event of Jefferson's early years in public life, his authorship of The Declaration of Independence.
