In Macbeth Act 2 after Macbeth killed Duncan and was washing the blood off of his hands, Shakespeare wrote " Will all great Neptune's ocean wash thus blood from my clean hand?" When Shakespeare wrote of Neptune's ocean he was creating an allusion to Greek mythology. Neptune is the god of the sea in Greek mythology.]]> 2019-02-28 14:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jkent0677/d3ujkq5gad1n/wish/336395950 Hubris jkent0677 https://padlet.com/jkent0677/d3ujkq5gad1n/wish/336401369 Hubris is when a character shows confidence or arrogance that eventually leads to the downfall of the character. An example of hubris from Macbeth act 2 is when Shakespeare wrote "Why, worthy thane, You do unbend your noble strength, to think So brain sickly of things." This statement from Lady Macbeth emphasizes her over confidence by her being negative towards Macbeth for worrying about being caught after murdering Duncan. ]]> 2019-02-28 14:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jkent0677/d3ujkq5gad1n/wish/336401369 Article jkent0677 https://padlet.com/jkent0677/d3ujkq5gad1n/wish/337342427 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-power-corrupts-37165345/]]> 2019-03-04 04:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jkent0677/d3ujkq5gad1n/wish/337342427 Song jkent0677 https://padlet.com/jkent0677/d3ujkq5gad1n/wish/337342734 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkU23m6yX04]]> 2019-03-04 04:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jkent0677/d3ujkq5gad1n/wish/337342734
