hypocrisy and ambition. Therefore, some historians believe that Cromwell was deterred because the majority of his senior officers were against the idea of the crown, as shown by R. Hutton (in Source 5), "Lambert, Fleetwood and Desborough all told the Protector that they would resign", this shows that there was a threat from the senior officers, particularly by those who "loved him". However, other historians find it difficult to believe ... ... middle of paper ... ...seen throughout the Protectorate
The Main Strengths and Weaknesses of the Protectorate, 1653-1658 Cromwell was installed as Lord Protector in December 1653, and throughout his time as Protector, Cromwell aimed to 'heal and settle' the wounds of the past and to create a 'godly England'. However, by the end of his life the Protectorate had the support of a narrow population. Nevertheless, the Protectorate had various strengths and weaknesses. An evident strength of the Protectorate was the aim to achieve a civilian based

York says "I shall not sleep quiet in the Tower", and we pity them, as they are young and afraid, and are forced to go there because, as the Prince says, "My Lord Protector needs will have it so". The children had appeared happy, and the Prince had shown wit and intelligence in his conversation with his uncle. This appears to be
Try as you might, picking the perfect mattress is often a difficult task. Even if the mattress felt just right in the store, you may feel like Goldilocks when you get home, sleeping on a mattress that is too soft or too hard. A mattress topper is the perfect solution to this common dilemma. A topper will protect your mattress while adding an extra layer of comfort. You may also benefit from the temporary use of a mattress topper when recovering from an injury, surgery or illness that leaves your
Another technique used with close-up is dialogue. In this scene we can see that Constable Riggs is seen with the grandmother saying to her, “Nothing you can do old girl, nothing you can do,” in a stern and rude manner. This technique helps us understand the power white people have over the Aboriginals and how powerful Constable Riggs is with him forcefully taking the girls away and his determination from the last technique. Throughout the scene, Constable Riggs is shown talking to the Aboriginals
Rabbit-proof Fence, they journey across one-and-a-half thousand miles of unforgiving terrain. A. O. Neville is a character in the film played by Kenneth Branagh. As I have said, it is based on a true story and A.O Neville is a real person. He is the Chief Protector of Aboriginals, a position of importance with considerable power, although even the title of the position seems to be loaded with imperious connotations. What I mean by this is that the government seems to have assumed a somewhat paternal role with
true and fake virtues that compose or destroy a knight or lord. An ideal knight or lord encompasses all chivalrous qualities: altruism, generosity and respect. Such qualities are important for boosting morale of the respected army and country. However when standards are not met by knights or lords and a disregard of important lordly and knightly qualities is present then personal downfall is inevitable. According to the poet, an ideal lord is defined as being totally selfless and faithful toward

Now show me the answer 15 of this song, he who presumes to say in words how the wood is called. Most of the riddles contained in the Exeter Book have been answered to the satisfaction of
The Character of Richard III as Shakespeare Presents Him to Us Shakespeare presents Richard to us in a very negative way. Richard is portrayed as an evil person who is attracted to the power that the throne could bring him and would take whatever risk is necessary. Driven by his need for power he manipulates and murders his way to the throne. Richard shows himself as a manipulator right from the start of the play. He tricks Clarence and makes him think that he has nothing to do with his
How Shakespeare Portrays the Relationship between Richard and Buckingham in Richard the Third by William Shakespeare Shakespeare develops and changes the relationship between Richard and Buckingham throughout the play. We see that Richard and Buckingham are total opposites when they first meet, but it all starts to change when Buckingham meets Richard and he starts to change. Shakespeare opens the play with Richards’s soliloquy. He says the civil war has ended and the new crowned king is
European feudalism was based on contract and Japanese feudalism was based on personal relationship with the lord and vassal. This helps prove that the differences between European and Japanese feudalism made limited government more likely to develop in the West because a contract limits what the lords and vassals could do. William, the king of English, said, “I command you [the vassal] to summon all those who are under your charge......and bring ready with you those five knights that you owe me[
serve their lord. A knight’s career is chosen for him, his wife is chosen for him and the land that his family lives on could be taken from him without a moment’s notice. Each of the knight's actions was for the glory and honor of the lord (not lord meaning God but lord meaning the lord of the land). Even though knights were essentially servants, they put forth great effort in their servitude through battle, guarding castles, entering tournaments, and upholding the ideals of his lord through brute
Matewan: A 20th-century Form of Feudalism Matewan, in which the action takes place in the 1920s in West Virginia, gives a clear and realistic picture of the economical situation of the given place and time. This has been a purpose and an idea which the director of the film, John Sales, has paid a particular attention to. The film elucidates a 20th-century conflict between two economical systems: feudalism and capitalism, with feudalism clearly dominating the economical status of the small town
being exiled, men were forced to travel the barren world alone in hopes of finding a new lord under whom they could serve. From this point on, melancholy and loneliness stood as the emotional basis on which every thought and dream was based. Until successfully locating a new mead hall and fellow companions, these loners were forced to look to themselves for comfort, or if they were lucky enough to realize it, the Lord. Not every exiled kinsmen was spiritual enough to grasp the realization that Christ
fate reinforced by the metaphor of the galley at sea. The metaphor of the ship's lord being the master of the speaker and decider of fate gives the speaker an object toward which to project his sorrow. There are multiple points where the speaker blames this problem he has on the lord of his galley, that he Hath done the wearied cords great hindrance, Wreathed with error and eke with ignorance.

From Lord of the Flies, there were many things like Conch and Fire that symbolized something. One of the most important symbols was the Conch. The Conch, which is a big shell that can be seen at the beach symbolizes many things in the Lord of the Flies. The Conch represents power because it once was able to control the boys with it, and it also symbolizes democracy because of anyone who has their ideas and can speak their thoughts. The Conch represents unity because it was used to call an assembly
Christina Rossetti and John Keats were both poets in their own prime. Rossetti wrote the somewhat controversial poem, Cousin Kate (1879) and John Keats wrote the French named poem, La Belle Dame sans Merci, (1819) which means “the beautiful woman without mercy”. Both poems explore the injustices of love and power and also the consequences of what happens with a potentially bad decision. Not only this, they both address these themes with a particular balance of the two; they both have similarities

Revolution swept across Europe causing significant changes in the political landscape. The revolution began from middle 10th century and reached its peak around the 12th century. Feudalism was a contractual agreement among the upper classes by which a lord gave land to his men, vassals, in return for military services. Feudalism originated in Germany around 450 AD after Germanic tribes conquered Rome. Its origins were between the Rhine and Loire River. Feudalism soon spread to Italy, England, and most
After reading the song “I Surrender All” means to give everything to Jesus. There will come a time in one’s life to submit your will to Jesus daily.
