King Louis XIV In Moliere's Tartuffe

Despite this, he repeatedly commends Louis for his bravery and “his zealous care for the churches of God and his wonderful valor in administering the affairs of the kingdom” (Suger 23). By his reverent and admiring tone, Suger portrays Louis as a hero of France whose violent but forceful deeds were morally acceptable and even necessary for bringing order to his kingdom. For example, after laying siege to Corbeil and restoring a new count, Suger expresses that “by the gift of God, [Louis] gained an excellent victory and made the beginnings of his noble rule” (Suger 68). Suger’s tone remains consistent with each one of Louis’ acts, deeming them as appropriate and just responses to the various treachery that he had to face as the King of France. Not all of Louis’ deeds were violent, however; Suger supports Louis when he used discretion and peace when the situation called for it.

“Go pronounce his present death,/And with his former title greet Macbeth”(1.2.64-65). The King was very confident in Macbeth and that is why he named him he new Thane of Cawdor. King Duncan considered Macbeth as a friend, he was comfortable being around him and trusted Macbeth. Macbeth holds a high title as a hero of war and the new Thane of Cawdor which means he couldn’t possibly be wholly

In the prologue, Chaucer introduces both of the characters along with their charitable qualities. The Knight is described as possessing the qualities of “chivalry, truth, honor, generousness, and courtesy” (l. 45-46). These characteristics express the Knights willingness to protect, help, and respect others, and overall present him as a benevolent member of society. Another charitable character is the Parson, who Chaucer states is “a holy-minded man of good renown” (l. 487). The Parson also “preferred beyond a doubt giving to the poor parishioners round about both from church offerings and his property” (l. 497-499).

Two characters of similiar roles, Hamlet’s Polonius and The Lion King’s Zazu are similiar in their loyalty and vanity, however, Zazu is not manipulative. Loyalty is defined as a strong feeling of support or allegiance; both characters, Polonius and Zazu, clearly show this trait throughout the stories. The following passage expresses the loyalty that Polonius shows to Claudius. As Polonius is trying to convince Claudius that Hamlet is crazy because he is in love with Ophelia, Polonius says to the King, “Hath there been such a time-I would fain know/ that-/ That I have positively said,”Tis so. ”/ When it proved otherwise?” and the King responds, “Not that I know.”

He is powerful and influential, constantly part of a scheme or plan. He is not concerned with honesty as he is willing to deceive Hero to win her heart for Claudio, in which Don Pedro asks, “Was’t not to this end that thou began’st to twist so fine a story?” (Shakespeare 1.1.305-6). He works at keeping the peace even when he is accused of stealing Hero for himself; he simply states that the rumors are false. Even when confronted by Leonato, he again says “nay, do not quarrel with us, good old man”(Shakespeare 5.1.55).

Primarily, an acceptable reason why Friar Laurence is a critical side character is that of the way Romeo and Juliet sees and understands him as a parental figure. In act one Friar is introduced when Romeo is sad about Rosaline, who he thought he loved. Romeo approaches and states “Good morrow, father.” (Shakespeare II.iii.31) and then the Friar States excitingly calls Romeo his son and blesses him.

Henry lives out the maxim, “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind,” throughout the whole play, specifically during a scene with Sam and another scene with Deacon Ball. In the scene with Sam, Henry refuses to pay his taxes as an act against conformity and supporting the war, this eventually results to him ending up going to jail. In addition to his act against conformity as a means of not paying his taxes, he also follows his own belief by teaching the way he wants to and questioning if God is an atheist. Again as a result of his beliefs, he ends up getting in trouble by Deacon Ball. At the end of the day, the way Henry lives his life is considered sacred because despite knowing that there will be consequences to his actions, he still follows through with them due to the fact does not care what others think of how he lives his life, he seeks change and is not afraid to act out his beliefs in order to achieve

This pure meditation reflects the Renaissance’s idea that true nobility is the one you achieve with your own merits, and using your capacities. In fact, Shakespeare says that this sentiment elevates his social status to the point it becomes more important than a kingly one. Furthermore, the virtue that such a love possesses is also able to overcome the limits imposed by death. This can be seen in Sonnet 75 by Spenser, where the poet writes that, “Where whenas death shall all the world subdue, / Our love shall live, and later life renew.”

Creon chastises his son for going against him, siding with his bride. This in my opinion is going against his father, and shunned upon (Sophocles 17). Gilgamesh and Creon are leaders, in contrast, the treatment of the people differ. For example, Gilgamesh shows no concerns for his peoples’ feelings, but protects the city from enemies, while Creon cares for those who obey him despite who they

In the film, Excalibur, Boorman allows the audience to see the development of a prosperous kingdom and the prestige place on the fellowship of these knights. Not only does King Arthur show loyalty to his knights, the knights, in turn, also reciprocate. Loyalty is recognized as being owed not only to God but to one’s King. As the sole creator of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur has trust in these knights with the deep belief that they will always remain loyal to him. Upon discovering the sin committed between his wife and best friend, he nevertheless values his kingship before love.

(37) This demonstrates two traits of Alexus’s imperial character. One was that he was highly intelligent and ingenious, and the other was that two he was humane and merciful. This shows in Doceianus, Alexius’s cousins reaction: “When he did learn of Alexius’s humane treatment of the man with his humanity, and his artifice, he [Doceianus] was overcome with joy.”

The importance of the Chorus can again be highlighted in another instance when, as supporters of their new king Creon, they remain by his side throughout the play, supporting his decisions and offering their opinions here and there. We can see this support they provide when Creon tells Haemon to stand by his “father’s ideas in all things”- “So is it right…. quarrel” . They are also seen supporting Creon in the same speech when he condemns the violators of the law and warns Haemon not to “yield to women”. “The mighty words of the proud are paid with mighty blows of fate, and at long last those blows will teach us wisdom”.

Why was George Washington significance? A great man called George Washington once said “We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.” George Washington was significance because he was a great leader. Also he helps win the revolution and he helps make peace with Britain.

I think this gesture made him feel like he should be incharge and he should be the king. I think Macbeth thought he should be the king because he was getting praised for his actions.

Paulchaz did everything in his ability to ensure General Budo 's would be the most trusted and relied upon the reach pliable young emperor 's ear. Everything ran smoothly in the beginning. The part of him that was Captain Paulchaz rejoiced at the suffering and damage that he was able to spare the empire he had dedicated his life to serving. The Jumper side of him felt quite smug about the ability to casually manipulate kingdoms and was scheming on how to quell or even incorporate elements the rebellion to secure a prosperous future well after he was
