Dona Flor And Her Two Husbands
970 Words - 4 Pages.... while it ends with the three main characters living together happily ever after, it is in a spiritual sense that they do so, rather than an actual polygamist relationship. Dona Flor’s first husband’s spirit remains with her during her second marriage to fill something lacking in her new relationship. In a sense, we all do this in our relationships.

The scholars of that day carefully selected the publicity of their new conquests by cloaking it with a sentiment of charity and Christianity.
Little recognition was given to the past cultures of these people. The plan was quite simple. ....

Macbeth 2
746 Words - 3 Pages.... This is symbolic of the chivalrous fighter who been injured in a gallant battle for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution," he is referring to Macbeth's stalwartness in which his sword is covered in the blood of the enemy.
