... it. The three types of female characters in this play are, the active female, Lady Macbeth, the passive female, Lady Macduff, and the weÇrd sisters, who are those to be afraid of.

In Shakespeare's plays, especially, the audience familiarizes themselves with the representation of women by their own dialogues, and what other characters say about them.

... (pg. 9) where she let her ideas flow. The content of those legal pads resulted in a bestseller, of which contained Maya Angelou’s flowing style, the use of dialect, settings, and characterization. Dialect is very influential to the tone of Angelou’s autobiography, as it was to the tone of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd.

Haze reacted to the incident on different levels. Before watching the "show," he was filled with curiosity. So badly he wanted to view this "EXclusive" show. After glancing at the body, he first thought that it was a skinned animal. When he realized what it was, he at once left the tent, ashamed, and perhaps frightened of the object before his eyes. Hazel’s reaction was not unnatural. The sight ...

... her life. She was abused and raped by her stepfather and then by her own husband. This abusiveness took away all of Celie’s ambitions and drove her into a state of fear. That is why she refers to these men only known as Mister, for she had lost her feelings. She feared them so much that she would always do whatever she was told without hesitation, because she was fearful of being beaten. The first evidence comes from the opening line of the novel, You better not never tell nobody but God… (P.11). That is why all her letters open with Dear God, because she fears what will happen to her if she does tell anyone. And it is because of these men, that she has very littl ...

She puts on quite a display for the reader when she comes into the castle and appears very upset and as many would say, "mad".
