- 17742: The Root Of All Evil,macbeth
- The Root of All Evil G.R. Elliot once said, "wicked intention must in the end produce wicked action unless it is not merely revoked by the protagonist's better feelings, but entirely eradicated by his inmost will, aided by Divine grace." This statement can be directly applied to Macbeth's descent into the darker recesses of human nature and what human weaknesses this classical tragic figure struggles with and finally succumbs to, causing his downfall.

How could such a courageous, gentle man such as Macbeth suddenly be transformed and drawn ...

A Vengeful Setting In the “Cask of Amontillado”, Poe uses vague background information and dark, decayed surroundings to illuminate the vengeful personality of Montresor as well as foresee the inevitable destiny that befalls Fortunato. Montresor’s life is surrounded if not engulfed by revenge and Poe focuses in on this by eliminating background history. Fortunato is also depicted quite well by surroundings and atmosphere in addition to the fate that awaits ... Poe generally centers the story around this one event, Fortunatos demise, and excludes all other insignificant information, which is shown throughout his work. The story starts off by briefly describing Fortunato as seen in Montresor’s eyes. The resentment in the attitude of Montresor indicates right off the bat that there is a lot of animosity between the two.

Poe’s lack of description on Montresor’s part shows that there is an insecurity about the character and that he feels as though there is nothing note worthy or significant about him.

The murder of Pluto, the appearance of the second black cat, and the ruthless slaying of an innocent woman are the series of significant events that are interweaved to create Poe's bloodcurdling tale. Overwhelming and demented feelings of guilt compulsively drive the narrator of the story to brutally slay his companion cat.
