...r earthly possessions. Not only was she the rock of the family, but she was also the pillar of the family who kept them going. Without Ma, the Joad family would most likely not have been able to continue their journey to California and probably would not have survived as long as they did. From beginning to end, Ma’s strength grew; she began as a strong woman and ended as an even stronger woman and although she was not the official head of the family because of the patriarchal mindset of the time period, she truly lived up to her role as a matriarchal leader and hero.
I believe there are two kinds of people in life; the kind that let things happen and the kind that make things happen. I prefer to think of myself as a person who writes her destiny not awaits it. So I ask myself, is it such a crime to want the best for you and your better half? Was it such a terrible deed, to lust after power and status like a young girl after a dashing beau. The victory, our status, my position, my power has fast become a reality, a reality which was being threatened by the growing suspicion of Banquo. It had to be done, his cut throat, seemed the only way, his murder the saviour of my triumph. But now see the error in my ways, the corruption in my thought. The guilt of one man’s blood was almost unbearable, the guilt of another is inescapable, growing, it is becoming vicious like a savage dog locked up waiting to be released. I am forced to bear it, alone I must I endu...
In Anglo Saxon stories, the relationship between the ruler and his thanes is known as comitatus. The comitatus relationship requires that "the thane swear to defend a lord to their death, while he provides them with the protection and a share of his wealth and weapons." This sounds like a typical warrior defending master relationship, but the relationship between a lord and his thanes is far more complex than that.

Distrust is a major theme throughout "The Silver Crown" by Bernard Malamud. This lack of trust is not only justified by the circumstances in the story but also with the period the story was written and the author's personal life.
The question of succession presented a difficult problem. "Philip 111 Arrhidaeus, the bastard son of Philip 11 and therefore half brother to Alexander was mentally retarded" (Milton, 1986) and his own son Alexander 1V was only a baby. In the absence of a suitable successor his generals fought each other and the winners spli...

Through a mixture of outstanding military tactics and brutality, Temujin avenged his father by destroying the Tartar army.

Abasalom is a good example of corruption that doesn’t come from the heart. Unlike John, Abasalom does not want to be corrupt, and he is not proud of what he has done. When he killed Arthur he was horrified, and when the police found him he didn’t deny what he had done, but confessed. Abasalom was cor...

Alexander was very loyal to his country and parents. When he was still a young teenager, his father gave him the task of ruling the small region of Pella. This allowed Alexander to prove to his father that he could be a competent ruler. When Alexander and his father, Philip, fought Macedonia, Philip was surrounded. Alexander bravely jumped in and saved his father from sure death. Alexander demonstrated loyalty to his mother by staying with her through her exile from Philip. This showed how much pulling and tugging went on to win Alexander’ favor that enviably killed Phillip by not knowing who to be loyal to. Upon their return three years later, Alexander’s mother requested to be allowed to rule with him, once Alexander became king. She knew that would be the only way she could regain power. When Alexander turned twenty, his father was brutally murdered by Alexander’s friend. This demonstrated once again how loyal Alexander was to his father, and how difficult a decision it was to pick sides between his father and mother.
