“The fools! The fools! The fire must be almost at the fruit trees- what would they eat tomorrow?” (198). Now this is explaining how they are in a chase to force Ralph to come out solely to kill him. In addition to showing that there is no civilization, only evil is there now.
Utilitarianism Would you authorise someone to be tortured to save innocent lives? Deontologist would argue that you should never torture anyone because this is wrong in every situation. For deontologists the act is most important and not the consequences as the end never justifies the means. I agree with the telegocial approach which believes that whether the something is right or wrong depends on the consequences. I would agree that you can torture someone as the consequence is to save innocent lives which is good.
Grendel feels as if though he is the victim in this instance. Unlike the Epic “Beowulf”, when Grendel is defeated he runs into the woods, and is immediately surrounded by the beasts and creatures of the forest. With his last dying breath, he says to them “poor Grendel’s had an accident, so may you all.”(154) Grendel goes from the ruthless monster in “Beowulf”, to the helpless victim in “from
He is not someone chasing anyone of this world, but runs as way of dealing with the pain of his memories. One of the central characters in the book is Tom Leyton, who is judged harshly by the community, with rumours spread of his “deformity and madness”. Tom’s experiences in the war have led him to isolate
And they are starving.” (pg.63) The colonies were forced to cannibalism. “One provident man chops up his wife and salts down the pieces. Others dig up graves to eat the corpses.” (pg.63) there was absolutely no means of food for the colonies this winter. They surly had no common sense; I mean really, how do you let almost your entire civilization die off? Could they not have planted their own food or hunted some game?
This had a huge effect on Conrad. With the lack of communication with his mother, Conrad feels that she no longer loves him. On the other hand, Cal, Conrad’s father, wants more communication with his son and is too over obsessive with his son’s feelings. All these conflicts create an ‘interpersonally distant family’.
When is loses its power, chaos occurs. For example when Jack states, “And the conch doesn’t count at this end of the island−” (Golding, 166). They have an argument and begin a chant. Jack leads the chant and Simon crawls out of the forest to be brutally murdered by the boys. This shows that when a once huge symbolism of power loses its significance, mayhem takes place.
Here we saw Elie’s feelings towards his father really come through. He doesn’t want to find his father. This shocked me when I read it because he was so against this when he saw it happening to other father-son duos. He said he would never wish he didn’t have his dad because he was the only family left. It’s sad to think that his feelings changed when he was put in the exact situation.
Not belonging also occurs a lot, like when people get removed from where they feel comfortable, which you also see occur throughout the play. A sense of belonging and not belonging is shown in act one. Parris is the minister of Salem’s church, and is disliked by most of the residents because of his greedy behavior and domineering personality. We learn quickly that Reverend Parris is a very selfish man as he is more concerned about his missing niece, Abigail Williams, rather than his ill daughter, Betty. Parris tends to isolate himself and not let people in.
In the end Victor is left with nothing. He has no friends, no family; he is exhausted and now starving. The monster has left Victor all alone that he considers making him a mate letting the possibility of a progeny real. All that is left to do is for Victor to die himself he has lost his brother, his wife and now his dad all because he created a misanthrope. All though all these deaths weren’t directly victors fault he was the one that created Frankenstein but was to mortified and ashamed to take the responsibility for his doing.
