Introduction

Macbeth, full title "The Tragedie of Macbeth" is a tragedy play by William Shakespeare. It is believed to be first performed in 1606. The story revolves around a brave Scottish military general named Macbeth and his over-ambitious character. Three witches prophesize that Macbeth will be hailed as Thane of Cawdor and the King hereafter. First Macbeth was startled, but upon receiving the news from two messengers that the previous Thane has been executed for treasons and his title is conferred upon Macbeth for his heroic deeds in the battle, Macbeth begins dreaming about ways he will become the King.  

The theme of the play is the will to acquire power, supernatural and evil, and loyalty. Macbeth is one of the shortest Shakespearean tragedies and also one of the first play that ventures this deep into evil realm. The main character of the play are:
  • King Duncan, who is the King of Scotland
  • Malcolm, eldest son of Duncan
  • Donalbain, Duncan's younger son
  • Macbeth, a general in Duncan's army and the Thane of Glamis
  • Banquo, another general in Scottish army and a friend of Macbeth
  • Lady Macbeth, wife of Macbeth 
  • Ross, Lennox, Angus, Caithness, other members of Scottish nobility
  • Three weird sisters, witches who uses evil arts

"No other subject taught in school is as important as Moral Science." Express your views for or against this statement

Image
For the statement "No other subject taught in school is as important as Moral Science." Express your views for or against this statement A school is where the youngsters are taught the fundamentals in every major subject. They are taught Mathematics, Science, English, Computer Science, and regional language - in India Hindi is taught in most schools. Children till primary schools are taught Moral Science, but in higher grades, it needs to be given more or sometimes no attention. The school forgets how this important subject can help the students to become a better person.  Children are enrolled in schools at an early age. They do not know the ethics and behaviours at such an age. Therefore, it is the responsibility of both - schools and the parents - to teach the children these basic yet important lessons. A person without ethics is no better than a non-living rock. Trees also have ethics; every living organism does. Therefore, it becomes crucial to teach the children the eth...

Abhisara - the Tryst Notes

Image
Upagupta, the disciple of Buddha, lay asleep in the dust by thr city wall of Mathura. Lamps were all out, doors were all shut, ans stars were all hidden by the murky sky of August. Whose feet were those tinkling with anklets, touching his breast of a sudden? He woke up startled, and the light from a woman's lamp fell on his forgiving eyes. It was Vasavadatta the dancing girl, starred with jewels, Clouded with a pale blue mantle, drunk with the wine of her youth. She lowered her lamp and saw the young face, austerely beautiful. 'Forgive me, young ascetic,' said the woman, 'Graciously come to my house. The dusty earth is not a fit bed for you.' The young ascetic answered, 'Woman, go on your way; When the time is ripe I will come to you.' Suddenly the black night showed its teeth in a flash of lightning.  The storm growled from the corner of the sky, and the woman trembled in fear. A year had not yet passed. It was eveing of a day in April, in the Spring. The b...

Narrate an experience that shows appearances can be deceiving

Image
A person standing in the railway station dressed in a good looking attire It is a common habit of humans to make judgements at the first look. It does not matter if we are seeing a person or a thing for the first time, our minds do not need to take a second look before coming to a judgement. If we look at a person, we quickly look at his clothes and shoes and come to the assumption that he is poor or rich. The same is the case with things, we decide for ourselves whether a substance is expensive or cheap just by its glittering and glistening. Over time, many learned personalities have taught us to "not judge a book by its cover." Through his various plays and writing, William Shakespeare, the popular eighteenth-century English writer, has sent the message to not fall for outward appearances. I have recently expereinced an incident that explains why is it important to not rely on just outward appearances to make a judgement about a person. I was travelling by train during my s...

A Visit to a Plant Nursery and Discovery of My Greatest Friend Part 1

Image
A Visit to a Plant Nursery and Discovery of My Greatest Friend Part 1 I was not a very good person at socializing with others. It is not like I hate anyone or see them as inferior to me, I just do not know how to talk to others. It was always too much for me to walk up to someone and initiate a conversation. I was always too lazy to accomplish such a simple task. But now it was getting too much out of hand. I was going to turn sixteen this year, I should make a friend. I want to make a friend.  All these years, I just sat quietly in the class. When it was a free period or lunchtime, other normal students would talk to each other, play or have practice matches of chess and other games. I never felt that I was lonely. I had already volunteered myself to the school's student committee. I was already busy enough to keep my grades up. Volunteering took a lot of effort and I was usually given tasks that could be done alone. It felt like fate did not want me to have friends. Now that I th...
