Furthermore he imprisoned monks. Finally John was cruel because he hated his wife because in a source from Matthew Paris it says ‘he hated his wife’. Also in 1194 he beheaded French knights before he became king. This evidence seems to show that John had many faults and he shouldn’t have been king because he was too cruel which wouldn’t have been good for the barons or the people of England. And he taxed people too much which would make the people rebel against him.
Then, with the Mother existing in this manner, all the worlds above the lowest one were formed. First there was the Mother and the water and darkness. The first dawn had not yet occurred.” page 63 ( "The Elder Brothers" by Alan Ereira) ‘In the beginning, there was blackness. Only the sea. In the beginning there was no sun, no moon, no people.
Because Claudius wanted to be king more than anything one can assume the suppression of his id caused him to be so aggressive he killed the king. As seen in Claudius’ prayer in act 3 scene 3 lines 37-73;98-99 he feels guilt but no remorse for what he’s done, as seen in lines 98-99, “My words fly up, my thoughts remain below. Words without thoughts never to heaven go.” On the other hand in the story of The Complete Persepolis, the battle
From chapter one, we enter into the world of Amir’s guilt and secrets. Despite their difference Amir and Hassan were inseparable but the shameful events of what took place at the end of the kite tournament would change that for ever. There was nothing Hassan wouldn’t do for Amir even risk his own life. This was obvious when one day; they got into a confrontation with a boy named Assef and his two friends. Assef idolized Hitler and hated Hazaras.
Who's to hinder, I wonder?" And Legree clenched his fist, and shook it, as if he had something in his hands that he could rend in pieces. (40.6) 463| Simon Legree’s malicious hatred of Tom is utterly evil – and utterly unrestrained. No law, no person, no religion will stand in his way if he wants to vent his psychopathic fury on an innocent man. This is the moment at which Stowe wants every 19th century reader to realize the full horror of slavery.
Antigone, an outstanding play written by “Sophocles”, in this play a quote is mentioned by a blind prophet that goes by the name of Tiresias. He goes on to say in pages 111 to 112 “Think: All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil: The only Crime is pride.” Right from the beginning he wants the reader to think. That if a man has a lot or too much pride; it can be their only true crime. For example, recently a story has come out about a NBC news reporter. Who eligibly said his helicopter was shot down in the Iraq war.
Hunger for complete control and raw power makes for inattentive leaders who make unwise decisions due to the ignorance of the important problems. Adolf Hitler, for example, made the wrong choices when it came to WWII and his distraction led to the downfall of his empire and the victory of the war by the Americans. He became obsessed with creating a perfect society, and in doing so he created the biggest genocide the world has ever seen- The Holocaust. Hitler was obsessed with making sure that everyone was a follower of his rule, and anyone that went against what he said was executed. The same is true in the novella Animal Farm, when Napoleon ruthlessly slaughters many animals because he is under the impression that they are in cohorts with is enemy, Snowball, and are sabotaging his rule by committing crimes that Snowball has told them to
Or like I’ll give away that I don’t deserve anyone’s gratitude and really they should all hate me for what I’ve done but everyone loves me for it and it’s driving me crazy” (Powers, 143). What makes this so powerful, is the fact that Bartle, the narrator of the book, feels like a monster, feels like a murderer, while the outside world views him as a hero; an image he believes is wrongfully painted upon soldiers who have killed and done injustice to humanity. While one can argue that the war was one huge injustice to humanity, the reasons why we started the war were to fix even greater
Many believe that the most significant themes of the book include phoniness, death/suicide, and “The Catcher in the Rye.” Phoniness is a tremendous structure of The Catcher in the Rye. People see Holden calling people “a phony” all the time. Being a phony means being someone who a person really isn’t, or just a typical “sheeple”. The main character Holden says numerous times in the book such as,”… they probably just met each other at a phony party.”- (Salinger, p.127) This quote is a favorite of mine because it shows Holden being what he hates the most, which is being a phony. He is doing this by being jealous, just like any other person would.
Die for your country Moral contradiction in a moral principle: utilitarianism. Homicide can be an appalling achievement, but while killing under utilitarianism jurisdiction of war can dismiss the horrific matters of taking lives. When putting death in a context of “dying for your country” the direness of the situation transforms into an admirable one. Propaganda, and the sociological aspects of not going to war, utterly employs all men into the army in complete blindness of reality. This is portrayed through WW1, in books such as Quite on the Western Front.
