The Merchant Of Venice: The Relationship Between Antonio And Bassanio
... a romantic way and also loves Portia, a female.
Also, there is another pair who I am suspicious about. They are Salanio and
Salerio. The reason is that they are always together, just like siamese twins.
When Salanio comes, Salerio comes. When Salerio goes, Salanio goes.
Here is a famous quote by Shakespeare, ÒThe love that dares not speak its name.Ó
In the play, there are many places where Antonio expresses love for Bassanio;

Macbeth: The Symbol Of Blood
... when Duncan
sees the injured sergeant and says "What bloody man is that?". This is
symbolic of the brave fighter who been injured in a valiant 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 braveness in which his
sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy.
After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes
to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off

was given to him. Washington knew that this power would only come from
subordination to civilian authority. He would be a precedent by being the
