William Wilberforce was the most significant because he tried to do better things for the slave trade but no one really listened to him. also my evidence shows proof that no one listened to him. my evidence is that when William Wilberforce presented the first bill to abolish the slave trade to the house of commons, but it was rejected. this shows that no one was actually listened to in those days.

Was William Shakespeare gay?
It is not always an indication, but he was married and fathered three children. Some people think he was gay, as some of his poetry was written to a man; but others argue that he married Anne Hathaway which shows that he could have been bisexual or even straight. At the time, it was quite acceptable for straight men to express strong feelings of affection for each other which did not have any implication of sexual attraction. Crossing the line into expressions of sexual desire for other men was strictly and ferociously punished, as were acts of homosexuality. Gays of Shakespeare's day had to be very careful. In the long run, it doesn't matter what his orientation was; he was a superb poet and playwright.

In the battle of Hastings how did the bad omen help William win?
The Bayeux Tapestry shows Halley's comet, Harold and his people seeing it with fear in their eyes. The omen may have helped William win, but I have never read that there actually was an effect on the battle, or even on the morale of Harold's army, so asserting it happened might be going a bit too far.

Based On Sonnet fifty-seven By Shakespeare What Is His View Of Love?
It would be better to ask, "What is the view of love expressed in Sonnet LVII?" because Shakespeare shows so many different faces of love in the Sonnets, and we have absolutely no way of knowing which ones, if any, had anything to do with Shakespeare's own personality and feelings. While Shakespeare was able in his writing to put himself intellectually and emotionally into the skins of many different types of people, and to do it better than anyone has ever done it, he was also able to completely obscure his own personality and emotions in his writing. In a world where all writers are believed to be engaged in self-centred confessional whenever they write, people have a difficult time getting their heads around a writer who never talked about himself, but as far as we can tell, that is what Shakespeare did.Now to Sonnet LVII. The view of Love expressed in this sonnet is made clear in the first three words, "being your slave". This is echoed in the later line "like a sad slave". The writer is portrayed as a person who has no needs and desires of his own, and only exists to serve the needs of his owner like a tool in a toolshed.

Sonnet 18 and sonnet 130 comparison?
During Shakespeare time he wrote famous plays, several poems and one hundred and fifty four exceptional shorter poems known as sonnets. Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 130 is two of his famous sonnets. They both are similar in theme, revolving around love, and Shakespeare has used several techniques in order to present this theme. The two sonnets arrive at a contradictory where his early sonnet, sonnet 18, supplements the theme with natural beauty and sonnet 130 using inner beauty. The poet uses the common traditional idea of love in the early sonnet to express the depth of his love that he has for his girlfriend. Shakespeare includes lines complimenting this wife, similar to the first line where he begins using a rhetorical question , should he compare her "to a summers day?" This gives the expression to the reader that she is just as beautiful and glorious as summer but then later this expression is soon lost and failed to describe her. This is seen in the second line he states that she is "more lovely" and "more temperate" and considering she is more temperate tan summer it tells the reader that her beauty for him is consistent. This stylistic technique of comparing her to summer and then to dissent himself by saying that not even summer is as glorious as her. In sonnet 130 he uses a very unconventional way to express love. I think by using this technique it shows that Shakespeare enjoys to express his love by comparing her to summer but then that not even that is an appropriate description. The tone is different in sonnet 130 where he uses a structure where the quatrains help to expand his description of how his mistress' qualities are all ghastly. For example he speaks about her lips and that coral is more red "than her lips' red" A technique used is by emphasizing that her lips are not red repeating the adjective "red". On top of that he includes the words "far more" giving the audience the image that if her lips were red they would have to be painted implying to us that she does not posses fake beauty. The structure of the rhyme scheme finishes with a rhyming couplet that concludes beyond all her unsatisfying qualities he believes that his "love as rare". This technique stresses how her beauty is internal. In my opinion this structure shakespeare uses to present love is a very different concept to the traditional way but it was cleverly used and it shows how deep love can be found by a man and that its not all on the outer beauty.
What is the purpose of Shall I compare Thee?
In this poem Shakespeare is comparing this woman's beauty to that of a summer's day. Shakespeare wrote over one hundred sonnets about her, each an attempt to summarize her beauty. This sonnet has four quatrains and a rhyming couplet, in an A/B rhyming scheme, the thing that makes the poem special is the attention to detail. Each line has ten syllables, this of course is not a coincidence rather a way of ensuring the poem has good flow. Shakespeare begins his poem with a question, "Shall I Compare thee to a summer's day?" This makes us want to read on, throughout this first quatrain Shakespeare sums up the factors that mar a summers day, "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May." He tells us that her beauty will always be immortal because she is perfection itself.She is so pretty, so smart, so utterly perfect to him that "Thy eternal summer shall not fade" Shakespeare says she will always be remembered and it is true because here we are 400 years later reading about her beauty in this sonnet. Shakespeare portrays the most stunning images in his mind, the eye of heaven, the darling buds of May, but what makes her different is her immortality, the eye of heaven will fade,the darling buds of May will die, as is the natural cycle. But Shakespeare breaks the natural cycle by putting pen to paper and immortalizing this woman in this sonnet "So long as men can breathe and eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee." The stunning images Shakespeare shows us of love make this truly one of the best poems ever written.
