The use of tarot cards in Lorca’s work may seem subtle to those who don’t have experience with the religious tool, but for people who can easily identify tarot cards, their…

This change in Macbeth is due to no fault other than the corrupting nature of his ambition and also his distorted view of masculinity. Shakespeare successfully uses characterisation, key scene…

It is always important to be honest, because lying stays inside for your whole life, and being true to yourself keeps your dignity. In the play when Abigail tells them that Elizabeth is a…
