  • @ibzy1211
    @ibzy1211 Před měsícem +2

    sir can you check one of my romeo and juliet thesis?
    In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare presents Juliet’s emotions as radically intense through her internal conflict between her familial devotion and romantic love for Romeo. However, her emotions begin to cloud her rational judgement of situations, ultimately acting as a catalyst for her inevitable tragedy. Perhaps Shakespeare explores the complexity of womanhood within a patriarchal society.

    • @mimahamed7337
      @mimahamed7337 Před měsícem

      I think this is a rlly good thesis, but u could talk about difficulty of being a woman in patriarchy as well (issue).

    • @MrSallesTeachesEnglish
      @MrSallesTeachesEnglish  Před měsícem

      Yes, you need to decide on Shakespeare’s viewpoint. Does the play make us sympathetic to Juliet, forced by Capulet’s patriarchal control to rebel in dangerous ways? Or does he take the parental view that the tragedy is all the teenagers’ making?

      kinda irrelevant characters not shown a lot but macduff is presented in the play when king Duncan is murdered and he brings the news to Macbeth that he has been crowned king of Scotland and that he wasn't going to come to the coronation and later Macbeth receives news that macduff has fled Scotland and Macbeth and his men go and kill Macduffs wife + children and macduff receives news that Macbeth has killed his family and Malcolm sees Macbeths cruelty and macduff swears to kill Macbeth. Macbeth soon goes to the witches and asks them to give him answers and they told him beware of macduff and that no man born of woman shall kill him and that trees will move before Macbeth dies. war starts and Macbeths men are leaving him and macduff fights Macbeth and macduff decapitates Macbeth as macduff was born of c section and not the normal way of birth through a woman's hole.
