Who was really causing a humanitarian disaster? NATO said they were sorry for that and they didn't want this to happen. According to NATO's logic, they should forgive Milosevic (I'd say he actually is a political thug). He killed Albanians because he intended to keep the integrity of Yugoslavia. According to NATO, Serbian troops burned 500 villages. Supposing this was true. How many bridges, factories ... marching into Kosovo, many innocent kids gave them a hero's welcome.

- 2113: The Tragedies Of Shakespeare
- ... true madness, like those of Ophelia and Lear, but rather a nervous breakdown caused by guilt, manifests mainly in sleepwalking before ultimately ending with her suicide. She wanders the hallways at night, muttering "Out, damn'd spot; out, I say. . . . The Thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now? What, will these hands ne'er be clean?" (996). She further sees visions during the day, never at peace, starting at the least little thing. Eventually, she succumbs to the internal torments and commits suicide by leaping from a building. Whether real or feigned, irrespective of the manifestation, all of these ... actions, while Lear's derangement, though temporary, poignantly draws our attention to the pointlessness and heartbreak of family feuds.

- ... and because of this, in a sense, wishes to shed her womanhood. We can see this ruthless nature more in depth in the quote I would, while it was smiling in my face,/ Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,/ and dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you/ Have done to this (I,vii,56-59) She is obviously a very bitter female, frequently referring to her role as a woman, both physically and ... seek as much power as she wanted without being hindered by her less-than-ruthless husband.
