Poetic Essay Topics Concerning Conscience
Poetic Essay Topics Concerning ConscienceOne of the subjects that Shakespeare tackled in his plays is a subject that will never be quite as popular as the topic of conscience: conscience is what you feel and think at the moment you're going to do something. You might not have a clue what your conscience is thinking; that's why you have to develop it yourself, by putting your conscience to work at all times when you're working on your play, writing a novel, or living your life.To use an example from Macbeth, when Malcolm the fool has just killed the king and the queen, he says, 'It is more than one thou for my soul and another for my body.' 'Others' refers to his conscience. He is saying that he doesn't feel good about having killed the kings and queens and he also feels bad about the pain and suffering he has caused them.'It is more than one thou for my soul' means that he feels evil, because he believes that his killing the king and queen has a part in the death of the king and quee n. To him, their deaths were inevitable.Malcolm the fool, by simply referring to himself in that manner, was showing that he was not as noble as Macbeth who had become as dishonest as Lord Denman. The topic of conscience is one that has been a problem with Shakespeare's time. There are many people today who do not have their own conscience, but rely on other people to be as honest as they are, or to inspire the confidence of others that they know that they are up to the task.In these days where much is based on the Internet, much less human interaction, people tend to rely on other people who are better than themselves. Therefore, there's a lot of competition between these people to see who can appear more trustworthy, and thus, more popular. The topic of conscience is being used to try to prove that the person is more trustworthy than they really are.When Macbeth is killed, it is a matter of pride for Lady Macbeth, that she was able to kill the king and queen. It's more than one th ou for her conscience, because in reality, it's a lot more than one thou for her conscience, and she doesn't care that much about the consequences.In that particular scene, Macbeth is talking about the importance of living up to your responsibilities, and the problem is that he never gets to live up to his responsibility when he kills the king and queen. He knows that he has to leave them in the grave, but instead of waiting for death, he kills them.
