This is not only because Sheila will be happy, but mainly because a merger with Crofts Limited will be good for his business. This implies that he is also a very selfish man, he wants to protect himself and his family only. He believes that socialist ideas that say that there is a big importance in a community are "nonsense" and that "a man has to make his own way." He wants to protect Birling and Co (his business). He also did not think that he did anything wrong when he fired Eva Smith - he was just merely looking after his business interests and in his eyes was completely innocent.
1993) Its is evident that there was no choice for George but to do it himself than let any of the other strangers kill Lennie, he knew that there was no chance left for Lennie and it was for the best, because George was able to do it, that shows how deep his friendship goes and how much he cared about Lennie. What extent would you go to help a
People did what he told them to do. He wielded such power that his relationships with people were built on fear rather than mutual trust and respect. He was the head of the Hayden dynasty and was not challenged until Wes arrested Frank. His two sons did what he wanted them to do, and it was obvious from the start that he favoured Frank. Wes did not feel badly about this and went on doing his job – the job his father had handpicked for him.
This authority is completely different to the kind that is displayed by Curley. Curley displays arrogance and a tone of superiority when giving orders whereas Slim respects others and as a result the other workers respect him and want to work for him. This shows that Slim is a better leader than Curley as with respect comes trust and with trust comes authority. The other ranch workers look up to him as if he is God on earth. This is shown in the passage when the ranch workers reference God and his movement only achieved by royalty and master craftsmen.
After he shoots the dog, he does not apologise to Candy and he even cleans his gun in full view of everyone, this shows that he is an insensitive character. Another example of his thoughtless behaviour is when he says, “Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin’ them two guys?” Throughout the novel it becomes clear to the reader that he does not understand why George and Slim seemed to be upset, he sees Lennie’s death as practical and he does not feel any emotions about it – he just believed that Lennie had to be killed and he was. This shows that living on the ranch as a travelling worker was difficult as he had to take many temporary jobs wherever he could find them, he could not have time to build strong friendships with people which made him an aggressive character and made his loneliness turn into anger. Whit is the opposite to Carlson, he has a bubbly personality which explains why his name sounds like ‘wit’, as he is witty. He is not bitter about life on the ranch – although it was awful to have the life of a travelling worker because it caused him to have to constantly travel around and made him not have a dream or a
Initially, Brutus was a man for the people who did what he believed was necessary. Cassius had forced Brutus into thinking that Caesar was in fact ambitious, Brutus believed him and thought that by murdering Caesar, it would save the lives of the Roman people in the long run. Whereas many of the conspirators killed Caesar because they feared the possibility of him becoming too powerful, Brutus killed him so the people could someday live freely. Brutus loved Caesar dearly, in yet he still had the Roman people in his heart as his first priority. Additionally, Brutus died for his people.
He did not simply preach that his parents were too materialistic, or state that he “won’t be as greedy” as he believes them to be. Instead, he lived by his anti-materialistic values completely, giving away all of his life savings to charity, and keeping as few possessions as he possibly could. While it could be argued that this following of principle is something to admire in McCandless, he placed these principles above the people around him. This caused him to hurt others without intending to do so, and is related to his lack of intimacy; as long as he didn’t allow others to get close to him, he never had to worry about choosing between them and his principles. His desire for isolation led McCandless to hitchhike
• Did they act alone or get help from someone else ? There is no evidence that Jack The Ripper had an accomplice. • Did they feel any regret afterwards? He had no regret to what he had done as he believed he had done thr right thing for the community. • What were they feeling/thinking while they were killing him/her?
I disliked how George did not struggle to shoot Lennie during the film. While reading the description of Lennie’s murder and the ranch the men dreamed of owning, Lennie’s death was extremely suspenseful. As the director of the movie, I would have chosen to exaggerate Lennie’s death rather than it being a short, diminutive scene. From Steinbeck’s account, Lennie’s death reflects the end of his own problems, and moreover the lack of responsibility George was able to release following his painless decease. Making his death slower would have shown a better portrayal of an important outlook of Lennie’s life and struggles, and how important Lennie meant to George.
Macbeth can’t be fully blamed for all of the murders as he didn’t personally commit the crimes he got other people to do them for him. This shows that he is not a butcher because although he arranged the murders of Banquo, Lady Macduff and her sons, he didn’t actually carry them out. A butcher would have got great joy out of brutally killing these innocent people. Although some may argue that these murders were unnecessary to the play, they were important to Macbeth’s character as he wanted to get rid of anybody who was seen as a potential threat to his crown. It can be argued that Lady Macbeth is the true butcher; she is the person who persuades Macbeth to kill Duncan.
