His anger caught his emotions during his clash with Lenina. 3. In the incidents of John rejecting Bernard’s dinner, Helmholtz disagrees about love and family. John and Lenina reflect love; both characters try to clear their position. For Bernard, his opposition comes from anger, jealousy, and vengeance, “Helmholtz and the savage took to one another”, “Bernard felt… a pang of jealously” (182).
Macbeth showcases a lot of guilt to change the tone and atmosphere of the scene and to show how guilt affects religion and beliefs. For example in Act 2 Scene, after Macbeth has killed King Duncan, the audience finds him struggling with the guilt he feels. Shakespeare shows Macbeths guilt through his inability to say ‘Amen’ which would have previously come easily from him. But after killing Duncan Macbeth believes God has turned his back on him because he committed the biggest sin- Regicide- and have gone against the divine right of kings and so would no longer be under the protection of God. Furthermore, in his mini-soliloquy in Act 3 Scene 1 Macbeths says the murder of King Duncan “put rancours in the vessel of my peace”.
Victim of Venice Shylock is the victim in The Merchant of Venice, because he is always being mistreated due to his religion of being Jewish, his own daughter betrayed him, and he was given a terrible sentence in the court of law. Shylock is mistreated due to his religion. We see this when Bassanio said to Shylock that he could dine with Antonio and himself, “If it please you to dine with us” (1.3.28). For religious reasons Shylock is not able to eat with the men, so this comes across as an insult, as if the men are bragging about being able to eat while Shylock cannot dine with them because he is Jewish. Another time mistreatment is shown is when Shylock says to Antonio “You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog, and spit upon my Jewish gaberdine” (1.3.110-111).
Paragraph 1 – Language Jacks language and feelings at the beginning of the book foreshadows his violent behaviour that occurs later on in the novel. At the beginning of the novel Jack is humiliated by Ralph when Ralph is elected to be chief, suggesting that there might be tension between the boys later in the novel. This is implied when “Jacks face disappeared under a blush of mortification”. The word mortification means a feeling of humiliation or shame, as through some injury to one's pride or self-respect. This shows that Jack was hurt that the other boys did not choose him to be chief as he was leader of the choir boys.
Amir compares Hassan as ‘the lamb’ (77) he had to slay and questions whether it was a ‘fair price’ (77) for the relationship and approval from Baba that he had always longed for. However, his stereotypical perceptions blind him as he suggests Hassan is ‘just a Hazara’ (77). As the story unfolds, Amir sums up his cowardice and guilt after witnessing the rape, which gradually becomes the foundation of irony as Rahim Khan reveals his true relationship with
Because Jesus was upsetting the Romans the Sadducees feared they would lose their power. The Pharisees were upset because Jesus was openly breaking the Sabbath laws. So the two groups formed an alliance in an effort to bring Jesus to trial and sentence him to death. The next day Jesus shared the ritual Passover meal with his disciples. After the meal Jesus spoke of the new covenant and told them that the forgiveness of sins could be enjoyed because of the shedding of his blood.
His desire to “mutiny” against Oliver makes him quite violent and aggressive at the beginning of the play; he starts a fight against Oliver in act I scene 1 (“Wilt thou lay hands on me villain?”) and wrestles against Charles in act I scene 2, knocking him unconscious (“He cannot speak”). This makes him seem ungentlemanlike and violent, creating a contrast between his character at the end of the play. Rosalind is also unhappy at the start of the play, although less so than Orlando. She has remained at the court without her father, which makes her unhappy. She reveals this when Celia asks her to be happier and she replies “unless you could teach me to forget a banished father, you must not learn how to remember any extraordinary pleasure”, which expresses how sad she feels to be at court while her father is banished.
Firstly, shylock is seen to be a racist person in this play who is being racist towards Christian people like Antonio. “I have him for he is a Christian” this is showing that he has something again Christian people. This is very appalling to the audience as he is very rude to Christian people. Shylocks speech “be nominated for an equal pound of your fair flesh,” I will have the heart of him if he forfeit” this shows that he wants a pound of flesh near Antonio’s heart.to be cut off and taken.” this proves to us that shylock is a villain as he is heartless and doesn’t think of others. This quote suggests that if Antonio the Christian won’t bring the money on time to shylock, then he will take a pound of flesh of Antonio’s body, showing cruelty.
Othello’s name and honour is undermined from the beginning of the play, due to the fact that he has gone against the societal norm by marrying and eloping with Desdemona, by Iago, Othello’s ensign and Roderigo, a gulled gentleman of Venice. The fact that insults such as “Moor”, “thicklips”, “devil” and “Barbary horse” are used to describe Othello by these men not only hints to an audience member that the titular character is black, but also paints a negative image of him in one’s mind. Iago uses crude language and sexual imagery when talking about Othello’s nature, especially when telling Brabantio that the purity of his daughter, Desdemona, has been lost or stolen, saying, “an old black ram is tupping your white ewe”. Desdemona has apparently been enticed “To the gross clasps of a lascivious Moor” with whom she will begin “making the beast with two backs.” These are all sordid and gratuitous illustrations which lead one to believe that Othello is indeed a “foul”, lewd beast. Amongst these depictions of Othello are some extremely racist derisions, leading one to question
The scene begins when Hamlet is about to confront his mother about the events that had recently unfolded. Hamlet had been building up all his anger inside and he finally has the chance to confront her on how he feels about the current situation. Although Hamlet does not want to hurt his mother physically, he does want to get under her skin and make her suffer as much guilt as he has been experiencing. First of all, one verse that shows that Hamlet has been retaining anger is when he says: “Now could I drink hot blood And do such bitter business as the day Would quake to look on” (Shakespeare III.3.383-385). “Hot blood” pertaining to anger and temper because when people say someone is very hot blooded it could signify that they have a very short temper and can become very angry.
