https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql How did power come into play? Is it corrupting the characters or helping them? What qualities did the main character have that helped or hindered them? en-us 2019-03-20 17:11:00 UTC 2025-11-20 17:08:19 UTC hello@padlet.com cardonca https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/347282817 Power came into play because he was a king at some point. He thought he was the most powerful being, and that he would always reign over everything. ]]> 2019-04-01 16:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/347282817 cardonca https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/347288009 Power in this piece of work helped them in this case because they let the author know that he is the one in charge of his fate. ]]> 2019-04-01 16:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/347288009 cardonca https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/347304414 The qualities that the main character had was curiosity. Him and his father wanted to know what was beyond the barrier of where they lived. So Daedalus built makeshift wings, so they could both fly over. He also told him where exactly to fly. But the idea of being able to fly got to Icarus's head, and he flew too close to the sun. Curiosity hindered with them. ]]> 2019-04-01 17:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/347304414 cardonca https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/350447421 Power definitely corrupted the main character because she finally felt like she got the attention from her soon to-be-husband she seeked as a child. But it was threatened when she knew he went to dance with some other girl. She was overwhelmed by anger, and jealousy that it motivated her to murder without a second thought.]]> 2019-04-10 16:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/350447421 cardonca https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/350447767 A quality you could say the main character had was the ability to act quickly- subconsciously. The reader can assume her husband was seeing somebody else. He told her he was going to have someone look over her, but that he was leaving. Crazy suddenly overcame her thought process, and she killed him without feeling remorse. ]]> 2019-04-10 16:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/350447767 cardonca https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/352315824 Having power leads someone to corruption because it always gets to their head. Macbeth, and Lizzie are great examples who show the main characters thinking they have everything at their fingertips. Macbeth assumed he was to be king right away, but something got in his way. He later felt he could easily take down anything that comes to him. Lizzie also had everything she wanted with her fiancé. As soon as it was being threatened, she wasn't going to going to let it happen just like that. So she took matters into her own hands.]]> 2019-04-17 15:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/352315824 cardonca https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/352635952 He thought he could do everything once the idea of having a lot of power got to his head. It was corrupting him because at first he was hesitant. And once his wife started belittling him, he felt bad and continued with the deed. Then the act hindered with his character because he felt unstoppable. But he also got paranoid, and that lead to his downfall. ]]> 2019-04-18 18:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cardonca/dt01s6qgqlql/wish/352635952
