Then, when Macbeth arrived, just after she 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 t ...

... the reader is left with a much more absorbing story; one in which the reader is, in fact, a main character. With the exception of "My Old Man", which is entirely in the first person , and "On the Quai at Smyrna", which is only possibly in the first person, there is just one instance in In Our Time in which a character speaks in the first person. It occurs in "Big Two-Hearted River: Part II", an intensely personal story which completely immerses the reader in the actions and thoughts of Nick Adams.

... represent what society views as the suitable and unsuitable woman figures. Mademoiselle Ratignolle is the ideal Grand Isle woman, a home-loving mother and a good wife, and Mademoiselle Reisz as the old, unmarried, childless, musician who devoted her life to music, rather than a man. Feeling that neither of their lifestyles were suitable and lacking the ability to create a model of her own, Edna in the closing of The Awakening commits suicide by walking into the ocean.

... not only corrupted others but himself as well. His devious personality, manipulative nature, and personal drive all lead to the disintegration of society in Animal Farm. From the start Napoleon was thought to be a very devious character. He is a cold hearted individual and the effect he had on others didn't have much impact on his moral character.
