The revelation of Lady Macbeth’s infidelity (5.8.5.29-30) furthered this idea as it indicated how Macbeth had lost his status and loyalty due to his savage lust for power. By incorporating Act 5 Scene 8.5 into Macbeth, significant details contributing to character development and the plot would be included, strengthening the play’s overall theme. Macbeth’s storyline would be furthered through the fulfillment of Banquo's prophecy, and the addition of this act continues seamlessly as it remains consistent with the original theme.

As critic Veronica Margrave states about the overzealous tendencies of Eva and Tom in her passage, Rethinking Contemporary Criticism of Uncle Tom’s Cabin; "one sees clearly that both are meant to be allegorical characters, and Stowe has cleverly crafted them as such" (1). Meanwhile, some historians and readers disdain the novel for its racial stereotypes and patronizing attitude towards blacks, such as Tom 's subservient nature, especially when he promises to remain with St. Clare even if freed. However, again Margrave objects that Tom was "a Christian man who saw another in need, and chose to be a situational martyr, choosing another over himself.

Claudio allows other people to fool him into believing untrue things, which leads to dramatic altercations with numerous characters. Dogberry’s unwittiness leads to a coincidence that saves the whole play and creates an ironic feeling that the least intelligent character discovered the evil plot. “The wit of Shakespeare’s play informs the words spoken by the characters, places the characters themselves as truly witty and intelligent, inappropriately facetious, or ingeniously witless, suggests the lines of action these characters will

During the Gilded Age, many fortunes were made by the railroad system. The increased construction of railroads provided the transportation of people, supplies, and trading goods. The movement of people from the east to the west allowed for increased populations and the spread of their culture.

Advice To Youth was a speech given by Mark Twain in 1882. In Mark Twain's speech, he gives advice, but not in the traditional way which the older audience expects. Although the title is Advice to Youth, the speech seems more targeted towards adults and authorities; although it does still give the youth advice.
