After Macbeth is promised the throne, Banquo asks why Macbeth is less than ecstatic. "Good sir, why do you start, and seem to fear / Things that do sound so fair?" (Act I, Scene 3, p. 332) Macbeth’s new knowledge makes him uncomfortable, as he realizes the implications. His first thoughts considering murdering Duncan appear, and he is scared. After he commits the murder, Macbeth says, "To know my deed, 'twere best not know myself." (Act II, Scene 2, p. 347) Knowing that has committed such a vile act makes h ...

... god, "leading me to sweet contemplations of my great and glorious God." Jonathan was also a puritan from the early America, however, he was a preacher. Like Anne Bradstreet, he did not believe in material things. In his sermon entitle Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, he states "now they see that those things on which they depended for peace and safety were nothing but thin air and empty shadows."

In addition to criminal charges, the companies will soon be bankrupt from the new laws. ...

... fled” (l.10) and his soul climbing to heaven to live “amid a crowd of stars” (l.12). In the last verse of When you are Old, William Butler Yeats uses personification of love to enhance the image of the late lover waiting for the elderly woman. Lines 10-12 “Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled, and paced upon the mountains overhead and hid his face amid a crowd of stars” give personal qualities to love. By capitalizing love, it becomes its own being, which waits impatiently, hence pacing the mountain. Yeats gives love a face hidden in the stars. The “face” is love’s distinguishing characteristics, such as tenderness and sensitivity. The conclusion of When You are Old leaves the woman ...
