Hero’s own father says “Death is the fairest cover for her shame” (IV i 122). He would rather see her dead than to have a daughter without honor. But Beatrice does not wish or hope for death on her cousin. She wants revenge on the man who took away Hero’s honor. Beatrice asks Benedick to kill Claudio for her.
Many pro-choice supporters don’t believe the fetus is a human until the second trimmest and believe that any point before this the mother has the right to end the pregnancy. An adult, child and an unborn baby are all different stages of life. Killing an unborn baby is just as wrong as killing one of them. Abortion is murder and our law should not allow such an unjust action. An unborn baby has no say on its life, but is it fair that a mother gets to make a choice to kill there child life because they don’t think it will fit into there life.
This creates heavy, water-logged paragraphs that read like morose prose poetry, laden with melancholic feelings. The book is set in a post-apocalyptic setting (the definite reason behind the end of the world hidden, but linked to nuclear warfare), where in which two men – one, Papa, and his Boy, walk endlessly through this terrorized and alien land. McCarthy does not hesitate to introduce the reader to this broken world. Within the first sentence, the setting is ‘dark’ and ‘cold’, throwing the responder into the deep end of the sombre book. This setting does not change throughout the novel – always, the world around them is seen as more than a foreign land – it is something completely different, new, and not at all human.
There is no beginning, middle, or end, and we know Billy’s fate from the opening of the novel. It starts off with the resolution of Billy’s life. Throughout times in Pilgrim’s life, he is abducted by aliens from the planet, Tralfamadore, where time and events do not happen in order, but simply, exist. Their concept of life is that, “All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.” (Vonnegut 25) With this in mind, Billy travels to different times in his life without notice, and because of this, is always careful in his social interactions, not knowing how he should act or where he even is.
That all changes when he returns home after telling his wife what had happened. She says “ Make thick my blood/ Stop up th’access and passage to remorse” (1.5 33-34) Lady Macbeth is the one who encourages Macbeth to become King. Now that they both believe that Macbeth is going to become king, there is nothing that will get in their way. Soon after, Macbeth decides that one of the only ways that he is going to become king, is to kill the current king, Duncan. He realized that the plan might not be reasonable and he started to second guess himself.
Now guaranteed a home in Athens, Medea has cleared all obstacles to completing her revenge, a plan which grows to include the murder of her own children; the pain their loss will cause her does not outweigh the satisfaction she will feel in making Jason suffer. Medea then pretends to sympathize with Jason and offers his wife the gifts of a crown and robe. Allegedly, the gifts are meant to convince Glauce to ask her father to allow the children to stay in Corinth. The crown and robe are actually poisoned, however, and their delivery causes Glauce's death. Seeing his daughter withered
Many of the unsound contradictions of the book are clearly evident, the exaggerated irrationality plainly presenting the military as foolish. Yet, Heller also utilizes subtle differences in situation to alert the reader to a more delicate point. For example, the situation in which Colonel Cathcart constantly attempts to please General Dreedle and General Peckem is described meaningfully as “[Cathcart] brooded inconsolably over the terrible ineradicable impressions he knew he kept making on people of prominence who were scarcely aware that he was alive.” (188) This
When the oracle said that her son would kill his father and sleep with his mother she quickly abandoned her son to avoid that horrible fate and thanked the oracle for that. However, when Oedipus heard that Polybus was dead and realized he didn’t kill his father Jocasta said the oracle was useless. Jocasta is the type of person that chooses to be blind and accept the lies but only when they help her. If the truths help her then she will accept the truths. Jocasta is also trying to blind Oedipus in this quote.
Were it not for outside forces, he would have lived happily as Thane of Cawdor, an illustrious title in itself. Macbeth does not even want to kill King Duncan. He says “chance may crown me without my stir.” Fearing the withes message means that he will kill the king in the future, he says “Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.” Macbeth writes to his wife, telling her about the withes and how one prophecy has already come true. As soon as she hears about it, she calls on evil spirits to fill her full of cruelty so that she will the King if necessary. Macbeth, on the other hand, does not like a possible future by the withes prophecy: that he will kill his King.
In the book, The Road, by Cormac McCarthy the world is coming to its end and the mother is put into a complex situation. She has to choose whether she wants to take her own life or to stay there and help her child through these hard times in this world. The mother kills herself in the novel, but this is a good thing because now the father and son can have more food for themselves while surviving, if they get captured she wont be raped and beat up, and she wouldn't have to live in this horrible world. Of course, suicide is never right to do to yourself. Suicide is not the answer to your problems and will only lead you to a place for eternity.
