Betrayal is to disappoint the hopes or expectations of others. To me‚ betrayal is when an author kills my favorite character in a book because they have betrayed my trust and have hindered my ability to thoroughly enjoy the book or other works they have done. Books are not just stories; they are experiences. When I am engrossed in a book and connect with a certain character it is devastating if they die. When an author kills my favorite character they have betrayed my trust. A well written book

Discretionary Trusts and the concept of a sham trust. (a) The central theme regarding trusts is that they are assets that are legally owned by the trustees and not the beneficiaries. In a discretionary trust‚ the trustees have discretion as to who among a class of beneficiaries should receive income and/or capital under the trust and in what proportion (e.g. Mettoy Pension Trustees Ltd v. Evans [1990] 1 WLR 1587). So until a beneficiary is chosen to receive income or capital‚ they do not possess

character. The key theme I have chosen from the play is betrayal and murder. Banquo was a brave and noble general and at that time was a great friend of Macbeth. Like Macbeth‚ Banquo thinks of things in an ambitious way however he does not at all show the ambitious thoughts in his actions.

Banquo is often seen in contrast to
