The Monster had done nothing to deserve what Victor has put him through, so the fact that the Creation turns on Victor was perfectly normal. Victor has no respect for his creation, abandoned him, and causes him to turn on his creator therefore, making him the real monster. The monster does not deserve the behavior he gets from Victor. He treats his creation like property when the Monster deserves to be treated normally. If parents would respect their children more then cases like Victors creation would be much
Madea could foresee the future and she knew that she would, one day succeed. Uranus was a selfish person who was betrayed by his own son, Cronus who also proved to have the same selfish heart like his father. Thinking that he would rule the earth himself after deceiving his father, Cronus wasn’t as clever as he thought, “I have thwarted fate again… For not only had he swallowed a rock. He also failed to realize that fate is never fooled” (Volume 1). Cronus had not only
Lucius speaks candidly about is past, realizing the way he lived was not only reprehensible but also hurt him later in life (line 19-20). So he bemoans his fate with the other shades, like Dante (lines 17-18), so the presence of shades implies Lucius to be in a place where the formerly alive congregate, perhaps hell since that is where Dante is said to spend the rest of his existence. However I personally think Lucius is not in hell at all, for in hell who would he present this speech to? The judges of the underworld know your crimes without you telling them and do not care for your remorse or regret over actions you did in life. So I theorize that Lucius is not in hell, that he is in fact at Mayer’s restaurant, telling his tale not to please himself but to warn others off of his path.
No one person could have altered this outcome. Lack of thinking by Friar Lawrence with a rushed plan, and the feud between the families hitting boiling point made the situation for the star crossed lovers even worse. BODY 1. Romeo -too impulsive, doesn’t think about consequences, Romeo's fatal flaw is impetuousness. From the beginning, Romeo acts without thinking of the consequences.
However, Creon makes all of his decisions on his own and in pursuit of his professional goal of strengthening his power. The decisions that he makes are bad ones that hurt his people, as well as his own reputation and family. Creon says, “Who is the man here, she or I, if this crime goes unpunished?”(2.82) This quote is an example of how stubborn a king with that much pride can act towards his own family. Therefore, Antigone had every right to disobey the king and follow the divine
In his blind obsession of science, Victor loses sight of all that makes life worth living. “…the beauty if the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.” (35). Alas, Victor rejected the very creature that almost gave up his life for during the process of making it. After rejecting the creature, Victor does not even possess the strength of character to take responsibility for his creation. Instead, he cannot resolve the issue and allows the creature to roam in the wild.
The Mariner now realizes the trouble he has brought upon himself, yet his incapability to speak does not give him the chance to pray out loud. Indeed every action has it's consequence whether good or bad, yet the Mariner had to witness the dice game between the spirit of Death and Life-and-Death as part of his punishment since, he expressed a belief that the world is guided by luck and chaos when he killed the albatross. The Mariner's pride has set him back to realize that all of nature's creations are to be respected and appreciated. In his anguish and guilt for his shipmates the Mariner is partially expatiated as he is able to recognize the swimming sea creatures as true
Fate may not have held the blade that pierced Dido, Fate may not have have ordered Cupid to come or Aeneus to leave, Fate may not have desired or acted in any way against Dido, but everyone who did was acting because of their own role in fate. Whether you believe that fate is as complicated as sub-atomic particles following the laws of physics unable to leave the movements set in place for them at the big bang or as simple as the will of God, Dido was fated to die, right then and right
If fate indeed determined destiny then what was to happen would have happened and Oedipus could have done nothing to prevent it, the play would be boring and Sophocles no more than a simple play write. From the eyes of the reader Oedipus could be deemed reckless and careless. On the other hand, from Oedipus’ viewpoint he was doing the right thing all along. He left who he believed to be his parents, killed a group of who he assumed were bandits and started an inquiry into what he believed would save his city and avenge a fallen king; These are astonishingly human actions, with no grounds for being judged as “tragic flaws” in any sense of the term. What Oedipus’ true flaw was is not a single characteristic but a coupling of intense pride and a vicious temperament.
“The Great Chain of Being was supposed to keep the Earth in a stable condition and order. Anything that breaks this chain of order was said to disrupt the stability of the universe.” (Wikka 1) Macbeth was selfish to commit this act for nothing but personal gain. In the end he was not even content with the outcome, just like the people around him. “I’ll go no more: / I am afraid to think what I have done” (II.ii.48-49) Therefore, selfishness only leads to unhappiness and trouble for all. This is shown, also, when Macbeth begins to keep his wife out from his life.
