they experience through every day collaborations Keeping that in mind, an evaluation of a few
sources, including Beowulf, The Wife of Bath’s Tale, Canterbury Stories, and Shakespeare's
Macbeth, present a strong depiction of how greed, social values, classicism, misogyny,
nationalism, and racism would all be able to factor into how individuals associate with each
other, and these stories fill in as a methods for featuring these distinctions appropriately and
exhibit how writing reflects what is by and by occurring inside a given writers general public.

embodies this activity and its outcomes alongside the effect that such a drive has upon his nearest
friends and family and companions.
