When they laugh at her warnings and she gets upset, Minerva says, "Come on, Dede. Think how sorry you'd be if something should happen to us and you didn't say goodbye." But before they leave, she cries out her real fear: "I don't want to have to live without you." The reader knows that is her fate exactly: to live after her sisters die as martyrs, and thus to tell their story. Another instance of foreshadowing occurs after Tio Pepe reports what Trujillo said at the gathering at the mayor's house.
I get the feeling that she was sick from before because of the fact that she killed her husband and went into hiding. I also sympathize with her because if my husband or any family member was brain dead I kind-of would’ve wanted to end their suffering too but at least stick around to do the time after, instead of running away like you planned it. Maybe while her husband was “dead” she snapped and just couldn’t take it anymore, standing around waiting for your loved one to die is just horrible, and maybe during that timing she just had a break down physiologically, and emotionally.
The readers are saddened because Antigone should not have died and she should be the queen of the kingdom instead of Creon. Even though Antigone dies in the end of the play, she does something important and meaningful before she dies. Her death is not a complete loss because she buried her brother and cleaned her conscience before she went to the underworld. "I should have praise and honor for what I have done." Creon tries to make things right in the end because the oracle tells him what he had done and the gods would be mad at him but is too
Sacrifice affects Katniss’s life in many ways thought out the novel. First Katniss makes a huge personal sacrifice when she takes her sister's place in the Hunger Games. When Prim was selected for the Hunger Games, Katniss said “I volunteer!” I gasp. “I volunteer as tribute!”(12).
Noone seems to have the real cause of it, they just assume she’s going to kill herself and they wanted her to. They say she lost her ways and that her like a man that wasn’t up to people-with-money standards. In the end she doesn’t use the poison for herself………….. When Miss Emily dies the women are not mournful but curious to go into her house and scope around. The men seem to pay their respects.
Kreon thinks that the person who caused all of this is Antigone. He thinks that Antigone caused this because it was her fault that that they had an argument in the first place about burying Polyneices. Kreon might think that of Antigone as his nemesis because she causes problems to his family and his empire. He deals with Antigone by slaving her and putting her into in a cave until she starved to death. “Be happy, You are living; but my soul died long ago, to be useful among the death”(pg.43).this are Antigones words which show she wanted to hang herself to be with her
Creon refuses to dispose of Polynices’ properly. Antigone believes strongly in the afterlife that she does what she thinks is right. When Creon finds out that his niece has buried her brother he is infuriated. She thinks that people need to respect the dead, and since she sees no one acknowledging this she considers herself dead because she did what no other person thought of doing. Antigone knows that Creon knows what she has done and states, “I gave myself to death, long ago, so I might serve the dead.” Her brother not being buried changes the relationship she has with her uncle because her uncle now wants her to suffer and to e tormented for something she thought was right.
She then slashed her neck and arm with a kitchen knife and sat down in the garden shed where she hoped to die. She was ‘overwhelmed with despair’ and wanted to end her life. Yet she feared for what would happen to Patrick if she were not there. Oxford Crown Court heard that she had never thought to put her own needs before those of her son and, in the end, ‘spiralled into depression’. Markcrow, a mother of four, who admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility at an earlier hearing, survived her suicide attempt.
In the book, The Road, by Cormac McCarthy the world is coming to its end and the mother is put into a complex situation. She has to choose whether she wants to take her own life or to stay there and help her child through these hard times in this world. The mother kills herself in the novel, but this is a good thing because now the father and son can have more food for themselves while surviving, if they get captured she wont be raped and beat up, and she wouldn't have to live in this horrible world. Of course, suicide is never right to do to yourself. Suicide is not the answer to your problems and will only lead you to a place for eternity.
Her studies in philosophy have led her to believe that God and Heaven cannot actually exist. She believes that once a person is dead they are gone forever; just a body rotting in the ground. The main purpose of Perry’s essay is the discussion between Sam and Gretchen about whether or not she will “survive” after death. The other major question is whether that survival is a physical survival (the body) or a survival of the soul (which is what Miller believes). After Sam makes a comment to Gretchen about how she is a “goner,” she asks him to tell her something a little more comforting.
