Hillary Clinton, the first woman to become a major party’s presidential nominee, endorsed Joe Biden’s White House bid on Tuesday, continuing Democrats’ efforts to coalesce around the former vice president as he takes on President Donald Trump.
Clinton made her announcement during a Biden campaign town hall to discuss the coronavirus and its effect on women. Without mentioning Trump by name, Clinton assailed the Republican president and hailed Biden’s experience and temperament in comparison.
“Just think of what a difference it would make right now if we had a president who not only listened to the science ... but brought us together,” said Clinton, who lost the 2016 election despite leading Trump in the national popular vote. “Think of what it would mean if we had a real president,” Clinton continued, rather than a man who “plays one on TV.”
Biden, as a former vice president and six-term senator, “has been preparing for this moment his entire life,” said Clinton, a former secretary of state. “This is a moment when we need a leader, a president like Joe Biden.”
With her historic candidacy, Clinton remains a powerful — and complex — figure in American life. Her 2016 campaign inspired many women, and her loss to Trump resonates to this day. The female candidates in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary often faced skepticism that a woman could win the White House.
Biden has pledged to select a woman as his vice president.
Given her 2016 experience, Clinton could offer Biden unique insight as he prepares for the November general election. Her endorsement is the latest example of leaders from across the Democratic spectrum rallying behind Biden.
and so who is behind all the double double and conspiracy today; disguised and hiding your true motive seemed to be the only way many characters in the play thought they could achieve their goals.
The Witches in Macbeth
Three of the most pivotal characters in the play Macbeth are the witches, who serve in many ways as one character. Throughout the play, the witches, also known as the weird sisters, tempt Macbeth to behave in evil ways. At the beginning of the play, the three witches predict and tell Macbeth that he will one day become king. Because of their prophecy, Macbeth and his wife decide to kill the king in order to make the prediction come true. After Macbeth is crowned king, he returns to the witches several times to have them predict the rest of his future.
Analysis of Lines
At the beginning of Act IV, the three witches chant 'double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble' while stirring a cauldron and casting a magic spell (Act IV, Scene I, Lines 10-11). These lines serve as a reminder that their speech is full of double meanings and contradictions. Some of the major characters in the story, including Malcolm, Macduff, and Lady Macbeth, can be seen as foils or doubles for Macbeth. At times, Lady Macbeth takes on Macbeth's role, especially when she takes on the guilt Macbeth should have had for his behavior.
Another form of doubling involves the use of disguises. While planning the murder of King Duncan, Lady Macbeth suggests that Macbeth 'look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent' (Act I, Scene V, Line 61). She suggests that Macbeth appear loyal to King Duncan while in pursuit of his kingdom. Macbeth also states that men must 'make (their) faces visors to (their) hearts, disguising what they are' (Act III, Scene II, Lines 35-36). Even when Malcolm wanted to test the loyalty of Macduff, he pretended that he would be a terrible king in order to test Macduff's loyalty to him and his kingdom. Being disguised and hiding your true motive seemed to be the only way many characters in the play thought they could achieve their goals.
