Appearing to be very angry that a woman dared to defy his wishes, Creon boldly declares that “When I am alive no woman shall rule.” The issue of Antigone being condemned to die becomes more than just a person who disobeys Creon; instead, the punishment is given even more eagerly because it is a woman who disobeys a man. Creon does not respect Antigone because she is a woman. Haimon, Creon’s last son hated his father for killing his future bride. After failing to convince his father to forgive Antigone, Haimon visited the cell where she was poisoned. Since Haimon could not stand dealing with his lover’s death he “drew his sword” and killed himself.
Fighting gets us nowhere. Even though we say that fighting isn’t the way to solve anything, we spend an awful lot of time doing it. Like, Antigone and Ismene fought quite a bit when Antigone wanted to bury her brothers corpse after he had just been tossed aside for the animals to eat. Ismene is trying to talk her out of it because she tells antigone to “Think of the danger! Think of what Creon will do” but Antigone reassures her that “Creon is not strong enough to stand in my way”(prologue, l. 34-35) .
In order to understand the mind of Darl, the reader must also understand Darl’s place in the Bundren family. A majority of Darl’s family doesn’t like him, even before the death of Addie and the journey to Jefferson. Addie herself hates Darl’s very existence. She thinks of Darl as Anse’s child and not hers, “And now he has three children that are his and not mine” (102). Darl is also brings humiliation for Anse because other townsfolk are always talking about Darl and how strange he is.
Ponyboy just had to see Johnny kill Bob and that was enough to make him lose his innocence. People like Randy and Steve just resent and hate the world so much that that would cause them to lose their innocence as well. Someone could lose their innocence just by thinking bad thoughts. S.E. Hinton definitely does not agree with William Blake’s poem: The Lily because in The Lily, William Blake is saying that innocence cannot be abolished or destroyed.
I felt angry about how Kress' irresponsibilities that caused his pets died in a famine because owners have the duties to feed their pets well. Since the beginning of the story told me about Kress was such irrepressible of making his pets suffered from starving, I think he would feel no guilty when he stopped feeding his sandkings to entertain his guests as he showed off to them in the parties. I think Kress was admirable as a human because everyone should not strew up animals' living areas as forcing fish to live on the ground. In the story of "Sandkings", Kress refused to listen to the sandkings' seller - Wo's warning about letting sandkings had wars by their own conflicts, and he didn't treat his pets nice. With what he treated the sandkings, they started behaving displeasures by twisted his sculptures on the castles.
First of all the nurse could prevented from all this tragedy, if she would just tell the both family what happened then, the two family would have arranged something and probably have a good relationship. This family did evil things when they saw Montague’s family. Every one saw Capulet’s family fighting all the time even the prince. This family was really unkind, they broke the law and did thing to the Montague’s family, harmless people and to the society. The reason they were so mean and breaking the law was that simply they just hated each other.
Tom also wanted to leave once because he killed a police officer and didn’t want his family to get in trouble. “Thinks all the trouble is aimed right smack at her. If I’m gonna get her upset like that I oughta go ‘long.”(Steinbeck 539). Having a place to call home was also important to the family. They learned to not take a roof over their head for granted because they often had to sleep in a tent.
King Creon shows that he truly cares for Antigone and Haemon. He does this when Antigone is caught burying her brother Polynices .Polynices was supposed to rot for the choices he made so Creon felt that he should suffer the consequences by not having a funeral or being buried. King Creon tells Antigone that he had no intentions of having her killed, even though she did break the law by burying Polynices. Antigone makes a decision and sacrifices her life by burying Polynices as she feels it’s the right thing to do. King Creon finds this decision of hers silly because he wants her and Haemon, his son, to get married quickly and have children.
Jimmy Cross understood this. You could blame war… A moment of carelessness or bad judgment or plain stupidity carried consequences lasted forever” (O’Brien 115). He tries blaming the death of Kiowa on the war, rain, God and concludes while the blame is some way universal, it is also intensely personal. Cross is the one who chose to camp out in the sewage fields despite the warnings of drowning in the field. Cross is most angered with Kiowa’s death because he was a good person and that it was him to blame for picking a bad spot to set up camp.
In addition, Jason curses himself saying, “My curses on you” (61), accentuating he should have known better the woman he had by his side, since he lacks knowledge such as Medea will murdering those who he holds nearest and dearest; his two sons and his bride. Jason believes he should have noticed Medea’s capacity for evilness and heartlessness long before, since she abandons her own family and kills her own brother. This demonstrates how Medea does not care at all about her actions; she only cares to make Jason suffer the pain she receives due to his betrayal. Jason’s catharsis develops when he expresses his pain “I must bemoan my fate” (61). He wishes to be left alone now to mourn his tragic losses which leave the audience to feel pity for him.
