Macbeth’s fate is not just determined by Malcolm reclaiming the throne, but revenge for murdering Macduff’s family. Macbeth’s fate is in the hands of Macduff either he will rise or fall.

One of the lasting impact the Spanish settlements had; the settlers created a bad relationship with the natives. The natives had several purposes to contemn the settlers. One reason being, in document c, that it states that the natives inculpated the settlers, or more specifically priests, for transporting disease from Spain to the native’s motherland. Corresponding to the natives, the settlers also have their motives for resenting the natives. For instance, the Apache and Comanches tribes had slaughtered several innocent settlers and soldiers, as well as raiding a couple of missions around San Antonio and La Bahia (doc b).

One example of greed is when Giles Corey states that Thomas Putnam of accusing his neighbors of witchcraft: “This man is killing his neighbors for their land!” (Miller 96) Thomas Putnam disputes land boundaries with John Proctor: “What anarchy is this? This tract is my bounds, it’s in my bounds, Mr. Proctor.” (Miller32). There’s a lot of outrage going on in Salem.

From the Kamakura Period of the late twelfth century to the Meiji Restoration in the nineteenth century, the samurai have held prominent positions as noble warriors in Japanese society. They have come to be famous in modern, Western pop culture as the fierce, stoic guards of feudal Japan, but their practices and rituals extended beyond wielding katanas and donning impressive armor. Samurai practices were rich and complex, with strict codes, ritual suicide, and a history of influencing culture and politics (“Samurai”). Samurai code was influenced by traditional Japanese culture, Zen Buddhism, and Confucianism. Bushido, or “Way of the Warrior,” was the code of conduct the samurai class were expected to uphold.

Actor Joel Edgerton has been making the acting rounds for quite some time - so if you feel as though you've seen him in a bunch of other films throughout the years, you're not mistaken. Sci-fi junkies will likely pick him out as the guy that played a young Owen Lars in the Star Wars prequels, while more recent moviegoers will likely recognize him from the Biblical drama, Exodus: Gods and Kings. Undeniably, the fueled-up Joel Edgerton stock locomotive is gaining steam - and doing so with great haste. While he's noticeably devoted to enhancing his acting career, he's now officially taking the semi--risky leap behind the camera for the very first time, as well - serving as writer, director, and producer on-board his new film, The Gift. That's right, dear reader, it would appear Mr. Edgerton is a true jack-of-all-trades.

Both his paternal and maternal grandparents emigrated from Palermo. He graduated from New York University with a degree in film and immediately solidified himself into the film industry as a director to watch. Many critics consider Goodfellas to be his greatest work. In my opinion, Goodfellas is significantly more violent than The Godfather, but it doesn’t get as bad of a reputation with Italian families. Why is that?

The idea of a Western Samurai made me very interested in the samurai, that’s when I saw “The last samurai” movie by Tom Cruise as it showed that any one can join the samurai and have the honor of fighting along them side by side becoming one of them and have that special honor by respecting their code and having a samurai name. what really fascinates me is that the samurai weren’t a rare elite force; however, they were an entire social class and they were about 10 percent of Japan’s population at that time. What really grabbed my attention is the way the dress up, they were stylish and at their time they were rock stars in their style of clothing. The samurai dressed up to move with speed, to have freedom of movement and travel. The weapons were unique

Courage in “Seven Samurai”, by Kurosawa In the film “Seven Samurai”, Akira Kurosawa the director portrays courage through the characters such as the samurais but and the peasants. The story is set in the Sengoku period, which meant that Japan was undergoing numerous civil wars, and bandits were raiding a starving small village where Kambei and the 6 other samurais decide to protect later on in the film. In this essay, I will discuss the ways in which Kurosawa shows courage firstly in Kambei and between the male and the female, secondly its link to Aristotle’s idea on courage, love (both romantically, and in the family), and thirdly its relevance in post war Japan. The main character Kambei Shimada is a ronin who rescues a hostage child from a thief in the village, gathers six more samurais in order to defend that village form being attacked by bandits. It is easy to consider that he is the most courageous person throughout the film.

According to the historian Frantz Funck-Brentano, they destroyed the villages and left the people in terror. Churches and towns were burnt down, the towns of Dordrecht were burnt down by Barbarian tribes.

The Turks and the Arabs have attacked the middle East and they have occupied the lands of the Christians. They killed and captured many people (doc 9).
