The scene starts off with Benvolio’s warning of a ‘brawl’ as the ‘hot’ weather is the ‘mad blood stirring.’ This warns the audience that something bad is about to happen. This creates anticipation . The audience should be well aware by then, that Benvolio is a nervous character, who can always predict when trouble is brewing. Mercutio ignores Benvolio’s warning. He starts teasing and provoking him, using puns and alliterations, like “ as soon moved to be moody and as soon moody to be moved.” This amuses Benvolio.
With the "dark" and cosy lighting at the beginning it juxtaposes to the opposite spectrum and by this the audience becmes aware of this tension that grows within the Birling's as each character finds a snippet of information that they'd rather not hear. Moreover, Priestly portrays this growing tension with the use of the characters desire to discover the truth behind Goole's case after he's left. They had minimal effection towards Eva Smith, but they still want to ring the infirmary, showcasing their guilt and shared tension towards the case. Evidently they want to change the subject of their own wrong doing (such as having an affair and rejecting Daisy from charity aid) and continue to ponder over the reliability of the
From the 1530's this was punishable by getting whipped and in the 1540's by getting hung. Heresy: heresy was among the many crimes that resulted in death.

Theft: people would not only steal money and food to stay alive but also gold and riches- people used to pretend to be simple entertainers and such however it was actually a scam- while they entertained rich folk their parter in crime would steal expensive gold, silver and other metal items from the household they could melt down before selling to a blacksmith.
Cloward and Ohlin argue, that the majority of criminals involved in the drugs trade were unable to succeed within capitalism and were driven to an illegitimate means of obtaining wealth. Cloward and Ohlin further argued that as people were driven into this illegitimate structure they tended to join existing deviant subcultures i.e. the drug subculture as in the case of the drugs trade. The theory does well to explain many crimes of the working class as they are unable to succeed in a society driven by middle class values, however Cloward and Ohlin’s subcultural theory fails to explain the crimes of the powerful whom already have achieved economic wealth through legitimate means. Furthermore the theory
To what extent do you agree that Chaucer presents the Pardoner as sinful as the other characters? Some may assume that the Pardoner was presented by Chaucer as one of the most sinful characters in this Tale. The character of the Pardoner is a self-proclaimed fraud, and slyly tricks people out of their money for a living. At the beginning of The Pardoner’s Prologue, The Pardoner indirectly admits to his crime, “…Ycrammed ful of cloutes an bones- Relikes been they, as wenen they echoon.” This suggests that the relics that The Pardoner sells to people do not belong to a real Saint. Chaucer uses The Pardoner’s character as a voice to reveal how corrupt the Catholic Church was in his time.
There is a saying, “Money is the root of all evil.” This is true if the money is obtained through ill-gotten ways.

The fact that the horse is described as "in panic" tells us that it has surely seen something which scared him. It is also said that the passengers are "struggling desperately", the word struggling makes me think about making an big effort to be able to move out and the fact that it is pared with the word "desperately" makes it even more effective because it means that the adult and the child are trying to survive their accident without much success and this brings a lot tension to the reader. Also, we rediscover this scary noise
It made criminals out of ordinary, working class people. Gangsterism flourished running the illegal trade. It became hugely profitable and lead to a growth of violence. The general flouting brought the rule of law in general into disrepute as police ‘turned a blind eye’, like taking bribes on the streets. Corruption was widespread.
These signatures can mark the killer’s personal fantasies or frustration. Some killers also take trophies from their victims, a piece of clothing or jewelry that will remind them of their victorious kill. Because most serial killers have described themselves as outsiders and have suffered abuse early on, they use their victim to take back control and power by
Carlisle article explained that the dark side envelops their personality by the fantasy they were living in subconsciously. Now that the dark side consumed them they start satisfying their urges in reality. His theory is effective because it relates to how the serial killer thinks while they are under their other persona. The psychological theory that Carlisle describes in his article does not contribute to the role of situations and socioeconomic factors in crime. Psychological theory doesn’t explain the social reasons why the serial killer becomes who he is, such as poverty and the people around him creating the behavior of killing tendencies.
