Gaston is extremely disappointed in the verdict. Nonetheless, she is aware she has to move on because, like she shared to the Gazette, “[she] wouldn't have been satisfied because [she’]ll never get [her] children back” (Montgomery, Verdict). Second, the justice organization of Quebec is involved because it is their role to make the fair decision of this delicate situation. More precisely, it was the jury of seven women and four
With the defendant they get a shot at leniency from the judge. Then there are some that say plea bargaining is unconstitutional. “Plea bargaining rests on the constitutional fiction that our government does not retaliate against individuals who wish to exercise their right to trial by jury.” (Lynch, The Case Against Plea Bargaining, 2003). essentially this means if the defendant believes in their innocence and want to go to trial the will be punished for standing up for their constitutional rights. It is my belief that plea bargaining is an utter necessity, and though it may not seem just at all times; we as a society can see how hectic the court would be if all cases were brought to trial.
Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him. It wouldn’t really affect her too much, but on the contrary, it would ruin his reputation in the town and his relationship with his wife. Later in Act I, Abigail is being “interrogated” by Reverend Hale and she claims “I never sold myself! I’m a good girl! I’m a proper girl!” (Miller 40) in this statement, Abigail is defending herself that she never sold herself to the devil.
How does miller present Abigail as a powerful character in The Crucible? Abigail first shows her power when she is heavily questioned about what was going on in the woods. Abigail starts answering the questions that she is given but soon realises that she will be court and get into trouble. So she uses her power to shift the attention to someone and make people forget about her. Miller presents this when Abigail is asked about the devil and she responds by saying, “I never called him!
Her unsupportive argument is not to prove the misconceptions of what makes a woman a woman, really her arguments about her own anger and aggression towards her past. She can’t get over it and carries those feelings and judges everyone, like they are all out to hurt
Also, people need to understand that Sen. McCain also wants to leave Iraq as soon as possible because he understands the big damage this is bringing for the country and for the Americans, more specific the families who have members in Iraq, but he can’t let this problem blind him and take the easiest decision of withdrawing as soon as possible. I think this is a complete demonstration of immaturity and irresponsibility because the real meaning of braveness is:
To Subdue an Enemy Interpretation is a key concept in living a civil lifestyle and governing a civil country. Abraham Lincoln had many interpretations that were objected that directly a country fighting a civil war. These actions, though controversial were key stepping stones in restructuring a nation that had fallen apart. Lincoln, now viewed as the “Great Emancipator”, was not always viewed as so in the eyes of his fellow countrymen. Many of his decisions led to uproar, but one in the end set the ground for the United States as we know it today.
The lack of power that women have in Salem sets the stage for hysteria. The female characters long for a voice in the community, and attempt to gain one by using their court powers to blame those around them and lying to gain attention from the community. Due to the very little power women have in Salem, the women find the need to blame others in order to be heard. While Abigail is being accused of performing witchcraft, she tries to blame Tituba. Abigail states, “Sometimes I wake and find myself standing in the open doorway and not a sitch on my body!
Passing Many things have been said, by critics and reviewers of all races, about the unusual, unsettling, unnecessary, and unconvincing ending of Nella Larsen’s book Passing. It is clear that Larsen needed an escape route from the troublesome position she had created for herself within the book, and having Clare Kendry fall off that seventeen story building to her death was the end route she boldly chose. While some readers will argue that Larsen’s indistinct ending is resolved by attributing Claire’s death to Irene Redfield, I find the text to be clearly suggesting that no one is responsible for Clare’s death, besides Clare herself. The hope that Irene pushed Clare is a longing-for-justice mentality from readers who see Irene as the one trying to do what is right within the story. Clare did not, throughout her life, need the help of anyone, especially Irene, to get what she wanted, and it was no different in the end: she jumped.
The Crucibles The crucibles is like desperation, lies, and hopelessness. Arthur Miller uses Rebecca Nurse to shows us that she is the clear martyr in the play, the most pure and saintly character hanged for witchery. Rebecca Nurse in the Crucibles uses integrity has always been scarce in society. In today’s world and as shown in The Crucible, honesty is unappreciated and the truthful are punished. While this brings fear to all of Salem, one character stands by her beliefs until the death.
