“If it turns out that he tells the same story as you-then I, at least, will be cleared of responsibility” (Sophocles 58). It is perceived here that Oedipus believes that if the Shepard tells the same story as Jocasta, then Oedipus has no responsibility because then he is guaranteed not the killer, but it is unperceived that regardless of the Shepard’s story, Oedipus is the killer because the Shepard just lies, so Oedipus still bears responsibility. “There’s
Together, these suggest that Wolsey didn’t let anything get in the way of his quest to achieve justice for all, even if it gained him powerful enemies and went against the tradition of the time. Although source three does agree that, in his unconventional way, “he [Wolsey] punished the rich”, it disagrees with sources one and two in relation to the question because it claims
Atticus Finch has been deemed a hero of justice, a mythological paragon of social activism. But although Atticus admirably defended Tom Robinson. He was no antiracism activist. First, Atticus did not volunteer to defend Tom Robinson; he was given a court order to do so. Then there Atticus’s complacence to racism, clearly portrayed in his confession (regarding defending Tom): “I’d hoped to get through life without a case of this kind…” This is not to dismiss Atticus’s fine attributes: He is a good father, treats all (black and white) with respect, and practices patient humility.
The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs". This is one thing that kept Bozella going,he knew he was not a coward. Bozella was not only a man with a lot of hope but he also had perseverance.

Could Martin really be god incarnate? Even though Martin is painted as an innocent victim that resembles virtuous perfection, we learn more as the narrative progresses and as we examine him closer. Although we are led to believe that Martin is victim that rises up as a justice seeker for the greater good, we know from a close examination, that this is not the case. Even though he "had always maintained an outward appearance of polite tolerance," Martin was a murderous plotter, but with good intentions, right? The valiant efforts
A line from Self Reliance by Emerson tells that “their rage is decorous and prudent, for they are timid, as being vulnerable themselves.” Milton’s lack of timidity helped him gain his personal happiness therefore exemplifying transcendentalism. “The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried” (Emerson 192). Milton
Now let’s consider this argument that the defendant is a two-faced character. Iago wanted to give the impression to Othello that he is still his most trusted ensign. The defendant has shown his true evil side on his lonesome – or when he moves to the side and says his plans or ideas out loud in the play. Your honour and jury, this man does not deserve a second chance. I fear for the society’s safety if he is found acquitted.
However, Iago doesn't care about his honour. “But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve, For daws to peck at. I am not what I am”, this is what Iago says in his first soliloquy in Act 1. He will pretend to be someone he is not, “honest Iago” someone everyone loves until he gets his revenge and Othello will be the tool that he uses. Firstly, proof that Iago is the central character is in his motives.
While he was looking for Jean, he saw that the right thing to do was not to arrest him, but to come to realization that he had changed. However, in Javert’s mind, the right thing to do was to arrest Valjean for being the convict that he is. But what Javert had to understand was that people really could change. You just have to look harder. Searching for something that seems to be the “truth” can cause blindness on what is the “real” truth.
By suppressing false opinions, the “true” opinion is never contested, and people accept the “true” opinion as dead dogma. Mill’s provides a somewhat rash reasoning for why suppression of opinion is harmful, even if the suppressed idea is false, “The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race, posterity as well as the existing
