Everyone changes, some physically, some mentally, and for some both. The motivators of change may be different, but the end result leads to the same thing, change.

Characterization plays an important role when conveying how one’s personality can disintegrate by living in a restrictive society. Although Kat is slowly loosing her mind, in the story, she is portrayed as a confident woman who tries to strive for excellence. This can be seen when she wants to name the magazine “All the Rage”. She claims that “it’s a forties sounds” and that “forties is back” (311). However the board of directors, who were all men, did not approve. They actually “though it was too feminist, of all things” (311). This passage not only shows how gender opportunities is apparent in the society Kat lives in, but also shows the readers why Kat starts to loose her mind.

Shakespeare was the absolute man of his time during the medieval ages in which he lived. Actually, his plays began to be famous far after his death, which has resulted in a lasting legacy for his writings. He has composed an incredible amount of plays that have almost all continued on to be performed. Two more commonly known plays of his are The Tempest, and Macbeth. These are two very diverse plays that have a completely separate plot, characters, and meaning. In both plays, an unfortunate event occurred. Bill Delaney states about the perspective of King Duncan, “Obviously there would have been no knocking at the gate if Macduff had slept inside the castle or if Duncan had simply asked Macbeth himself or his most kind hostess Lady Macbeth to see that he was awakened in the morning.” Like Duncan, Prospero in The Tempest, he was not expecting at all to be stranded on an island. Also, there were many people that helped throughout these situations in the two plays. In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth played a huge role in helping with the murder of King Duncan. In The Tempest, Ferdinand fell in love with Miranda and helped Prospero with all that he needed to help get on his good side. In The Tempest and Macbeth, Ferdinand and Lady Macbeth can be compared with their willingness to help someone who needed it, their intentions to help someone they loved, and they can be contrasted with the end result of their objectives.
