    2)  The circular and indirect rather than top down way in which power operates in society.
    3) By showcasing Macbeth, James I benefits from support for security and peaceful ascension to the seat of power.]]>     2019-03-25 15:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jbenedict3/n45943c8b0nd/wish/344867575     Person 1: jbenedict3 https://padlet.com/jbenedict3/n45943c8b0nd/wish/344867576 Person 1: Why bother viewing literature through the New Historicist perspective?  Why should we still use it to analyze literature?
    Answer: When analyzing, we want to understand what was going on in the author's mind as they were writing the literary piece. However, when it comes to time periods, an author born in a different period than us will have a completely different mindset due to different life experiences. New Historicists analyze society in that time period, so that it gives us a clearer understanding of what the author meant in what they said and why the wrote their literary piece in such a manner.]]>     2019-03-25 15:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jbenedict3/n45943c8b0nd/wish/344867576     Authors jbenedict3 https://padlet.com/jbenedict3/n45943c8b0nd/wish/344870098 P1: Gian
