Written one year apart from the other, one cannot fail to recognize the parallels between William Shakespeare's tragedies Julius Caesar and Hamlet. To begin, they are both stories of assassinations gone horribly wrong. Although the details of the plays are different, the two assassins (Brutus and Hamlet) provide interesting comparison. Through these two killers, Shakespeare reveals the different levels of justice; one’s personal sense of justice; others’ perception of justice; the justice of

Hurston’s characters just naturally fit into the roles and personalities that African American women have been socialized to expect and accept from black men.

Furthermore, if I was to try to greet people especially in a white predominant society while walking down the street or in a public place with a kiss on the cheek they would think I was some crazy person crossing boundaries. Since it is not normal in white cultures to express this type of greeting it would be strange if I tried to do that just like it would be strange that I didn’t greet in my Latin culture
