Macbeth later becomes the deserving Thane of Glamis and Cawdor and the undeserving King of Scotland (Dominic 255). In the beginning Macbeth is a man with good intentions and a good heart; sometimes he just has a hard time following his good instincts and heart. Macbeth's ambition and the persuasion of his wife lead him to commit several horrible deeds. Macbeth
makes many mistakes at the end of his lifetime. The want of an untroubled life of second childhood without the responsibilities of a well respected king is the main mistake Lear makes. The slippage of his self- image finally causes him to go mad (Dominic 233). Before Lear goes mad he realizes the state in which he is turning when he states, “My wits begin to turn.';( III.ii.67). Lear’s suffering is primarily mental and climaxes when Regan throws him out in the storm (Bruhl 317). The main

John was born in 1815 in Recchi, Italy. When John was two, his father died prematurely. As a boy, John lived on a farm with his family doing the only thing they knew how, farming.

Saints are flawed, everyday people who said yes to God and his will. Saints are perfect examples of how we can either turn our lives around, or make a conscious decision to willingly choose God. Our lives are full of temptations that will turn us away for Christ, but we have to remember that we are not on this journey alone. Saint Catherine of Siena is not only a role model for Catholics to turn to, but she is an accomplished woman who will be remembered for many years to come. In Siena Italy,

An Investigation into Factors Affecting Resistance of a Wire Plan: The possible variables I could use to find out factors affecting resistance are material wire is made of, length of wire, temperature and cross sectional area of wire.

I am not doing temperature because it would be hard to get results from and I think they wouldn't be as accurate.
