One of the most significant portrayals of loyalty is the faithfulness of Odysseus verses Penelope. As Odysseus slowly wanders back home to his wife he manages to flirt and sleep with countless woman. On the other hand Penelope protects all of Odysseus’s property from the greedy suitors who have taken over there home. Penelope never betrays her husband even while most believe he is dead. She refuses to even consider remarrying.
As he is sleeping one night Elie feels hands wrap around his throat, trying to strangle him. Though Elie survives, the moral of the carriages is down. When the carriages finally arrive at Buchenwald, many choose to stay on the carriages with the dead bodies. Approximately a dozen prisoners from the initial one hundred survived the trip. Though Eliezer and his father have arrived to Buchenwald safely, it seems as though his father has given up on life.
Since the letter did not get to Romeo, he fled to Verona to see his beloved lying in the tomb. He thought she was dead so he drank a powerful poison to kill himself. In addition to Friar Lawrence’s poor choices, he cause Juliet’s death. Friar Lawrence is responsible for Juliet’s death. He left Juliet vulnerable in the tomb.
Many of whom would have survived the trip if not for the choices that Odysseus made. In addition to being homesick, we also witness Odysseus cry over songs about the Trojan War. In chapter eight of The Odyssey by homer, Odysseus, now traveling alone as all of his men have ceased to survive the journey, finds himself as a guest to the king and queen of the Phaeacians. Odysseus has yet to reveal his identity to the Phaeacians and is disguised as an average traveler. In honor of their guest, the king calls an assembly of his counselors to discuss providing a ship to Odysseus.
For example, when she trusts the Friar to get the information to Romeo. This information never gets to Romeo, which leads him to kill himself. Juliet could have told Romeo about her plan to take the potion and this would have prevented both of their deaths. Another bad decision was the marriage which complicated the already difficult situation. In conclusion Romeo and Juliet both sacrifice their own lives due to a lot of bad choices.
John's motive to commit suicide comes from the deep love he feels for his wife; "it was not what he actually accomplished by means of the sacrifice…but the sacrifice itself, the gesture – something done for her sake" (Ross 161). John thinks that the result of his death will be the freedom of his wife. The tragic irony is that it's only after sleeping with Steven that Ann is able to renew her love for John and calm her inner storm, but by doing so she looses the object of her love, John, altogether. Alternatively, if she hadn't betrayed John and he hadn't come upon that fateful view, then he wouldn't have sacrificed himself for her, but (and there's always a ‘but' in fiction) Ann would still be emotionally conflicted and would still be unable to love and appreciate her husband. Irony also envelops Ann and Steven's immoral copulation because it was initially John's idea for Steven to visit while she was alone.
Unrequited love is a kind of love that can't be reciprocated or returned, even though it's usually desired. In the novel, one of the major characters, Jay Gatsby, has this sort of romance towards his old flame, Daisy Buchanan. When he went off to war, even though Daisy promised to wait for him, she couldn't and married Tom. Gatsby was poor and Daisy wanted more, desperate for affection. When Gatsby returned home, he did whatever he could to win Daisy's heart back and earned money and riches.
Fate is commonly overlooked as being the sole cause of their deaths, but in my opinion it is what brought the two lovers to their end. Throughout the play it reveals that their lives will end by their influences and actions, "A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life". This unavoidable aspect may have made Romeo and Juliet fall in love just to end the feud between the two houses. An important act of fate to consider would be the masquerade ball, if Romeo wasn’t wearing a mask Juliet would have realised who he was and may have not fallen in love with him. Romeo was too young to realise that he should have waited until he got over Rosaline before he became involved with Juliet.
Friar Lawrence then fled from the room to escape the police. When the Friar later returned, Juliet Montague had killed herself with a dagger. The Friar was earlier overheard saying: ‘Young Juliet is alive For whose dear sake though Wast but lately dead’ Juliet- ‘what if it be poison which the Friar Subtly hath ministered to have me dead’ Friar Lawrence had a reasonable motive in this case, as he did not approve of the marriage or Romeo and Juliet which could have resulted in the suicides being encouraged by Friar Lawrence. As shown in this report, several suspects could have been the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s suicides. As Friar Lawrence was the last person to see Juliet alive and gave Juliet the poison to make her sleep, he would be the person most responsible for the suicides of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague.
He warned Romeo that “violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume.” (2:6:9-11). Friar Lawrence had a feeling that the quick and hasty decisions that were made would not end well. However, he continued on to marry them, believing that their marriage would stop their parents’ feud. In addition, Friar Lawrence gave Juliet the idea of faking her death and saying, “…take thou this vial, being then in bed…” (4:5:93). He suggested the plan of killing herself, which led to Romeo committing suicide due to the death of Juliet.
