First of all, the main reason thousands refer to Haig as the ‘Butcher of the Somme’ is because that there were astronomical amounts of soldiers that lost their lives in this particular battle. In an interview with Private George Coppard, the private confirmed that “hundreds dead were strung out on the barbed wire like wreckage washed up on a high water mark”. Therefore, the root cause of this catastrophe was the guidance and leadership the soldiers were given; since Haig was the one in charge, people blame him for the loss. Further on that argument, the tactics Haig used were incompetent. When Haig discovered that the tactics he had prepared were ineffective and that there were numerous casualties, he chose not to change tactics, and instead kept using the faulty ones.

When Duncan, Lady Macduff, and Macduff’s children die, Macduff expresses a great sorrow for them. When Macduff first sees the dead Duncan, he cries out of anguish and believes that this is “the great doom’s image,” (II, iii, 83) meaning that this is the image of doomsday, or the end of the world. Macduff appears to be the most upset about this news. He expresses his grief through words like “murder and treason,” (II, iii, 79) and “Tongue nor heart cannot conceive nor name thee.” (II, iii, 68) Macduff feels that his heart can’t imagine this
Beowulf states before the Grendel battle "As I set in the boat with my band of men,/ I meant to perform to perform to the uttermost/ what your people wanted" (l. 632-635) Beowulf's confidence is very high in this quote because he knows he has the help and support of his men, the men still have the loyalty to him which is giving him confidence. Next, in the battle with Grendel's mother Beowulf's confidence is still very high and he is almost sure he will win, which is because his men are still willing to sacrifice themselves for him. Beowulf assures before the battle that "I guarantee you: she will not get away," (l. 1392) This guarantee referring to Grendel's mom shows that Beowulf is sure that he will kill her, it is not a coincidence that this correlates to the continuing loyalty of the thanes; Beowulf's confidence would not be so high if he knew he did not have the help of his loyal men. Lastly, in the battle with the dragon Beowulf know it will be a hard fight and he is prepared to die, because he is aware that the comitatus of his men is nearly gone. Beowulf states in his last formal boast "I shall win the gold/ by my courage, or else mortal combat,/ doom of battle, will bear your lord away."

Symbolism in The Scottish Play In this dark play, the symbol of blood becomes quite apparent. Not only is this dire word mentioned over forty times, but it is also a driving and reoccurring figure that greatly affects a number of characters. Both Macbeth and his wife, Lady Macbeth, deeply feel the guilt and sin that is caused by this symbol. Blood is a haunting stain that symbolically does not leave the hands of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as it drives them to their downfall. The idea of blood in other works and novels typically evokes the idea of slaughter and massacre.
After rounding up the remaining SS guards, the U.S. forces lined them up and executed them with extreme prejudice.
