The English Renaissance
The English renaissance was an error of sweeping economic artistic intellectual change. The printing press was one way for people to communicate back in these days. Religions change challenged deeply beliefs this was a time of bold and questioning outlook. Three big ideas that shaped the English renaissance were humanist and courtiers, a bard for the ages, and The scared and the secular. The English renaissance was a result of a huge culture change that began in Italy and spread southwards to England. One of the biggest culture shifts that occurred during the renaissance was a sudden new belief in human potential a new attitude emerged that is referred as humanism. Renaissance humanism offered exciting new vision of human potential for discovery, England's multitalented Elizabeth was an outstanding example of the renaissance individual. Shakespeare had alot to do with the renaissance. To be or not to be was one of the questions which meant if someone should kill themselves or let themselves suffer with whatever they are dealing with.

Mapping the archetypes of the quest
Elsa the outcast and Ana the hero are from Arendelle. Her mother and her father are both rulers of this small little kingdom. One of these girls has a very special power which were freezing powers the bestowal of the magic weapon but she did not know how to control them. One of the unhealable wounds is that Elsa strikes her sister Ana which caused her heart to freeze. Their parents were very upset they then took the call to adventure and rushed Ana to some trolls so they can help her but all they could do was erase all the memory she had with Elsa so she wasn't able to remember that Elsa had powers.
Shortly after all of this happened both of their parents died in a terrible boating accident. The ritual occurred people then announced the new queen and princess of Arendelle. For this happening they had a ball for Ana and Elsa for becoming Queen and Princess. Ana then met the Evil figure there at the ball his name was Prince Hans and the only thing he wanted was to become prince of Arendelle. The task was going well till Ana had got Elsa angry her and her powers were unleashed nobody knew about them but now they all knew because she let them out. All the people that were attending the ball were shocked, Elsa then left to the threshold of departure. Ana refused to just let her go just like that but everyone was scared that Elsa would harm Ana but she knew what she was doing. Ana takes off in her horse where she later meets a man named Kristoff and the friendly beast Sven, they then made an agreement so Kristoff can help Ana. The first trial happened, they got chased by these mean wolves who were trying to kill them but that didn't happen because they got away but what the wolves did destroy was there transportation so they had to walk till they reach the trial of the abyss. While heading to the north mountains Ana, Kristoff, and Sven run into the loyal companion which was a little snowman named Olaf he was a big help because he knew exactly where Elsa was at. The second trial then occurred right before they got to where Elsa was hiding a giant snowman was guarding the place making sure no one would enter then woke him and the snowman chased them down the mountains. Ana then finds her way back and enters to where Elsa is at and convinces her to come back to Arendelle because bad things had happened ever since she had left she then agrees to go back so she can fix things. Elsa's apotheosis works and she learns how to control her powers so things went back to normal and everyone lived happy.

Plot Structure in Shakespeare's MACBETH
Here is my and my partner's understanding of how Shakespeare's Macbeth can be analyzed in terms of Fregtag's Pyramid
What is a tragic figure?
A tragic hero is a literary character who makes a judgment error that inevitably leads to his/her
own destruction. It's a person of noble birth with heroic qualities. The person is fated by the Gods or by some supernatural force to destruct at least to great suffering. But the hero struggles against fate and the conflict wins. Because the tragic hero simply cannot accept a diminished view of the self and because of some people's flaws the hero fails in this epic struggle against fate.

Brittney Spears the tragic hero.
When i hear tragic figure i think of Britney Spears. She was born and raised in Kent-wood, Louisiana, she was very talented as a young child which made her an amazing singer and song writer. Her rise in fame was extraordinary In December of 1998 she released her first new single which reached number one by January of 1999 at the Billboard Music Awards Britney was picked three awards: Female Album Artist of the year, Female Artist of the year and Best New Artist of the year. Time had passed and the VMA's came around she won three awards again, then in 2011 her next album also reached number one making it six albums at number one. She had so much ahead of her but then her reversal of fortune made her down fall so much she was involved in a bad custody battle for her son's with her ex-husband which caused a divorce. She started going out hanging with the wrong people then got into drugs and alcohol which later on made her go to rehab. She suffered so much she allowed the wealth and fame get the best of her and whatever decision she made she though it was for the best. She had so many tragic flaws that i'm pretty sure everyone knew about but that's why i consider her as my definition of a tragic hero.
