Which lines in this excerpt from shakespeare’s richard iii provide evidence for the theme of good versus evil in the play?
richard iii (duke of gloucester): now is the winter of our discontent
made glorious summer by this sun of york;
(a) and all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
in the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
our dreadful marches to delightful measures.

(b) grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
and now, instead of mounting barded steeds
to fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
he capers nimbly in a lady's chamber

to the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
but i, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;

(c) i, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
to strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
i, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time

into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
and that so lamely and unfashionable
that dogs bark at me as i halt by them;
why, i, in this weak piping time of peace,
have no delight to pass away the time,
unless to spy my shadow in the sun
and descant on mine own deformity:
and therefore, since i cannot prove a lover,
to entertain these fair well-spoken days,

(d) i am determined to prove a villain
and hate the idle pleasures of these days.

What does the author see as the main cause for why students don’t really see shakespeare as a real, flawed human being? we shouldn’t shy away from discussing our literary heroes’ flaws. if nothing else, the knowledge of their failures us appreciate what success and greatness these authors did achieve. often our hero-worship keeps us from truly seeing the complexity of a great author. thus, i would argue, nothing would be better for high school students than to take shakespeare down a peg or two. a) the fact that students never learn enough about shakespeares biography b) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s comedies while in school c) the fact that students are never assigned to read any shakespeare while in high school d) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s greatest works in school and thus never see his weaknesses

As you have learned, epic heroes experience trials along their journeys. using your knowledge from beowulf, create a trial you believe an epic hero like beowulf might face. you will need to write a description of the trial using the aspects of a narrative. the trial can be anything you imagine, meaning you can test the hero in any way you see fit. be creative and have fun with this! let your creativity flow. focus on key attributes of beowulf and use his attributes to create a trial that would truly test him. since beowulf is very strong, a trial involving strength and endurance might be to easy. try thinking outside the box to create a trial that would truly test the hero of the geats. examples of beowulf’s attributes: couragous, loyal, strong, persistant, honorable, confident try to use one or multiples of these attribute when designing your trial. a good way to think of this activity is that you are a hunger games game designer. what could you make that would stump beowulf
