- ... I. 3; 58-59) plant early in the play a conception of time as something which fulfills itself by growing---and which, the season being wrong, can swell to monstrous shape. " . . . the troubles of Macbeth's character are planted early in the play, and they foreshadow his downfall," (Brooks). In the early scenes of the play evil is scarcely visible in Macbeth, but it spreads through his soul at an alarming ... irony is that when Duncan fails to pronounce Macbeth his successor shortly after this phrase, he firmly plants the notion to Macbeth that homicide is his only means of attaining the throne of Scotland.

"By the time he has ascended the throne, there ... plants spies in all the nobles' homes and spreads lies about Malcolm, who should rightfully inherit the throne.

- 11196: Reconstruction
- ... The Reconstruction, a time most people would call a rebirth, succeeded in few of the goals that it had set out to achieve within the 12 years it was in progress.

- ... one with because of the fact that the author creates great depth to her as a character. In the Critical Survey of Long Fiction the author states that "In her fiction, Fay Weldon explores women’s lives with wit and humor. She is caustic in her implicit condemnation of injustice but avoids preaching by characters say and what they do"(Magill 3474). On the other hand Ericson has more of a formula to Weldon’s novels unlike the Critical Survey of Long Fiction.

- 11198: American Two Party System
- ... Jeffersonian Republicans. This organization of the Federalist opposition in the election of 1800 is what is known as the Revolution of 1800. The Federalists feared the Jeffersonians were out to undermine the government, while Jefferson’s party felt the same about the Federalists. By the time Jefferson was elected to the presidency in 1800 his party was called Democratic Republican. The Federalist Party disappeared as a political force by the 1820 election, mostly because of its opposition to the War of 1812. The fall of the Federalist Party left the country with only one major party, but only for a short time. During the 1820’s Democratic Republicans began to split into two parts. The conservatives of the party favored a strong nationalism, a protective tariff, and a national bank. They called themselves National Republicans. The others stood for states' rights, tariff for revenue only, and an independent treasury. They took the name Democratic and elected its leader, Andrew Jackson, to the Presidency in 1828 and 1832. The party of Jackson is today's Democratic Party. By the election of 1836 the National Republicans and other anti-Jacksonians had merged to form a new party, the Whigs.

It's there in numerous ways: overhead valves, V-8, and a stick shift transmission to get you where you want to go, just like the Z28's and SS's of thirty years ago. No gizmo-actuated variable-valve timing, no overhead cams, and no independent rear suspension, just a 320 horsepower monster V-8. The SS turns 0-60 times in the low ...
