Second Class Citizen
Buchi Emecheta

Second Class Citizen was written by Buchi Emecheta in 1974 and published in London by Alisson and Busby. It is the story of Adah who as a child was ambitious and wanted to live a fulfilled life by travelling to England. She thus forced her parents hands to enrol her in school because girls weren’t encouraged to attend school at that time. Adah would later marry Francis as a teenager, and later relocate to live with him in England when she gave birth to their second child.

England turned out not to be a bed of roses like Adah envisaged. She experienced domestic violence from her husband who continued to fail his accounting exams. Her children’s nanny-- Trudy lived in an untidy apartment and Adah eventually had to enrol them in a nursery after Trudy was afflicted by tuberculosis. They were also evicted from their apartment by the owners because they were disliked.

After having their third child, Adah decides to get the “cap.” Her husband finds out then shames her, informs his parents through a letter and for good measure beats her. Adah would write a book after the birth of her fourth child titled The Bride Price. She then shows it to Francis who was already frustrated with his life and envious of his wife. He would later burn the manuscript which was the last straw for Adah. She moves out of their apartment and takes him to court, where Francis was mandated to pay a child support to her.

TGIF
Training Day

"To protect the sheep, you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf.

Alonso Harris(Denzel Washington's Character in Training Day)

Alonzo is one of the great movie villain protagonists, and while the extent of his villainy is shocking later on, he is very up-front about what he is. Alonzo is both a hero and a villain but has lost his sense of right and wrong after years on the police force. Jake learned by the book, Alonzo learned by the street and did anything to survive.

Years of doing so blurred the line between cop and criminal. Despite his wrongdoings, Alonzo throws Jake a valuable piece of advice when it comes to his job as a narcotics officer. If you want to keep the streets clean, you need to get your hands dirty. Culled from screenrant.com

Macbeth

Macbeth was written in 1606. It is the story of a Scottish noble general commanding the army of King Duncan, King of Scotland. One day as Macbeth is returning with Banquo, another Scottish general, from a victorious war against a rebellion, they are confronted by three witches who prophesy to them. They tell Macbeth that he will be Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland and go on to tell Banquo that his children will be kings.

Banquo notices that the witches have poisoned Macbeth's mind but the warning goes unheeded for Macbeth is ambitious to be King of Scotland. Lady Macbeth having learnt about the witches' prophecies at once decides that Macbeth must usurp the throne by murdering King Duncan. Chance plays it into their hands for Duncan pays them a state visit as a further mark of gratitude for Macbeth's services to the state. The couple plans and murder the king.

The king's two sons Malcolm and Donalbain flee the country and leave Macbeth the nearest person to the throne and he is crowned king. Having usurped the throne, Macbeth realises that Banquo poses a serious threat because of the witches' prophecies and successfully murders Banquo. Banquo ghosts hunt him. He therefore visits the witches to know what the future has in stock for him. He is warned to fear Macduff, an important personality in the kingdom.

He was also strongly assured he would not be conquered until the Birnam wood began to move to Dunsinane Hill and he would not be killed by a man born by a woman. Macbeth then engages in murderous acts which alienate his subjects and serious revolt begins to gather against him. His position reached a crisis point as his nobles deserted him and joined Malcolm. His wife walks in her sleep, mentally deranged by the murders they have committed.

Just before the battle begins his wife commits su***de. He then hears a report that the wood of Birnam is moving to Dunsinane. He makes up his mind to come out of his castle and fight where he meets Macduff who in face-to-face combat tells him that he was not born by a woman. Macduff kills Macbeth and his regime comes to an end. Malcolm the rightful heir immediately assumes the throne.
