She ran to Friar Lawrence for help and the friar gave her distilling liquor so that she can fake her death. Friar Lawrence had someone send a letter to Romeo that never got delivered, explaining the situation with Juliet. Romeo not knowing about Juliet’s fake death led him to drink poison that he got from Apothecary. When Juliet woke-up, she found Romeo dead on the ground and she was devastated. Friar Lawrence was telling her that they should leave before the guards came and she resisted and he left her.
One such example occurred at the beginning when Gawain accepts the Green Knight's challenge. By accepting the challenge, he was not only saving King Arthur's life, but also saving King Arthur's reputation. When the Green Knight arrived at King Arthur's court, none of the knights stood up to
They tried their best to act as chivalrous as possible. In order to stay chivalrous, they looked up to chivalrous individuals like Jesus, King Arthur and Sir Gawain.

The tale taught about the blessings and curses of chivalry.
I am here to talk to you today about the death of Romeo and Juliet, and who is to blame for the scandalous death the suspects are Friar Lawrence or Juliet’s nurse. I believe it is Friar Lawrence to blame and I will explain why he is to blame for their deaths throughout this speech. Firstly Friar Lawrence had given Juliet a poison only to stimulate an extreme coma and, to make her breathing and heartbeat slow down. This was chosen to be done therefore a heartbeat can’t be detected but on the other hand Friar Lawrence acted thoughtless, selfish and shockingly. This was a risk that he had given Juliet the sleep like death poison that he had taken a risk.
“Take this vial, bring then in bed, and this distilling liquor drink thou off” – (act 4, scene 1, v93) This is when friar Laurence gives Juliet a potion so she does not have to marry Paris. “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, I drink to thee.” –(act 4, scene 5, v58) Juliet drinks the potion that causes Romeo to think she’s dead. This potion in a way kills Romeo too. “Alack the day, She’s dead, She’s dead, She’s dead.” –(act 4, scene 5, v23) The nurse says this to lord Capulet. Now she is unable to marry Paris.
Normally a person wouldn't go to the extreme of killing someone over a simple insult, but Fortunado believes that he is superior than everyone else that he has to punish Montressor for his actions and killing him would be the only suitable punishment. In Montressor's case his pride of his connoisseurship in wine blinds him and causes him to die.

For example, when she trusts the Friar to get the information to Romeo. This information never gets to Romeo, which leads him to kill himself. Juliet could have told Romeo about her plan to take the potion and this would have prevented both of their deaths. Another bad decision was the marriage which complicated the already difficult situation. In conclusion Romeo and Juliet both sacrifice their own lives due to a lot of bad choices.
In Book 14 Odysseus returns to Ithaca and Athena disguises him as a beggar, without this disguise Odysseus would have been killed by the suitors and it also delays the final confrontation between him and the suitors and also delays the recognition scene between him and Penelope. His disguise also helps him test the loyalty of his characters and from what he can see he knows that Penelope (Book 19) shows her loyalty by telling Odysseus how she has made the suitors wait until she finishes Laertes’ death robe,
Even though Macbeth chose to murder Duncan, he first shows guilt and regret for it when telling his wife of the voices he heard after killing Duncan. He believes that the voices are correct and that he will never be able to sleep again so his emotions start to take over his thinking. Macbeth had killed the King so he was already headed down the slippery slope of sin, so after Macbeth killed Duncan, he killed the two King’s Chamberlains to have murderers that could not be questioned as his alibi. He was already too caught up in his future potential that he did not care anymore what he did or who he killed. It was Macbeth’s frame of mind to murder whoever so that he may be king that started his
| I’m going to get the servants drunk so that they don’t know what’s happening then we can blame the death of Duncan on them. | 1.7 | These deeds must not be thought after these ways; so, it will make us mad. | Don’t think about it after or else we’ll go insane.
