The opportunity to beat fate was too good to pass up. It did not help that his wife felt the same way as well. She facilitated the murder and assured her husband that it was what needed to be done. After Macbeth killed the king, he found himself no longer a true and loyal soldier, on the inside that is. He made sure to put on a façade which would lead the King’s men to believe he was still a respectful and loyal man.
And were they justifiable at all? In my opinion George’s actions at the end of the novel of killing Lennie were justifiable because even though it was a hard decision between the three choices he could have made, he weighted all his options and did what he thought was the best option for him and the most humane for Lennie. So the main question we ask is why did he kill Lennie and was it justifiable? The thing is George would not have been able to live with himself if he didn’t kill Lennie himself. George also did everything he could to kill Lennie in the most humane way possible.
In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the character John Proctor is a good man. He is a good man because even though he was aware of the consequences to come, he still eventually confessed his sins to the court in order to protect his wife. He is also a good man because he eventually chose to be hanged rather than having his name smeared for a crime he did not commit. John Proctor knew the consequences he would have to face by confessing that he committed the sin, adultery, to the court. Although it was not his initial plan to confess, he does so in order to protect his wife, Elizabeth.
However, justice is still the most part in both stories. When view barber and the narrator in the two stories, it becomes apparent that they are similar in that justice. In Gregory, the narrator and Gregory are enemies. It’s the same as in Just lather, that’s all, the barber and Captain Torres are enemies. It looks like they should kill their enemy, but at the beginning of two stories they didn’t because both barber and the narrator have justice in their heart.
Sadly in the end, he died right beside half of his Regiment, but I’m sure that he also died with pride and dignity. The movie “Glory” taught me that to be a leader, you will have to endure some struggles and make sacrifices; it’s not about you, it’s about your followers and putting them ahead of you. Sometimes this may also involve risks and you may also have to do things that are out of your character. Colonel Shaw had to fight to take care of his Regiment, but he didn’t give up; he stood strong. It was nice to see that with honestly comes respect and with respect comes loyalty.
He also performed these good deeds knowing that it won’t benefit him at all which shows us his heroic characteristics such as being brave and courages. Furthermore, I support Greeley’s claims because he considered including all of the wrongdoings in Brown’s felony while praising Brown’s brave attempt to get rid of slavery so both slavery supporters and abolitionists can relate to his position. On the other hand, Abraham
English 3 Acc. Death penalty does not deter crimes. In the novel A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines they are very unfair with the decision of Jefferson having to die with a crime he didn’t commit. My thought on death penalty is that it doesn’t stop issues in society. People will always do what they want to do trying not to get caught.
I think they have the right to give their own opinions about these things because the newspaper can’t always be focused on the positive things of life. There are dreadful stories out there as well. I think the author balanced her story out very well because she used names and newspapers
Macbeth PCAST Act I, Scene 7 Line 1-5 If the crime of killing Duncan succeeds, it would be best if it was done quickly. If the assassination could catch everything like a net, taking and preventing any consequences, then the murder will “be-all and end-all” at PARAPHRASE this moment. Line 6-10 But here at this time, we’d risk the fate of my soul. For crimes like these we still have judgment, we still have punishment. Committing violent crimes teaches others to do the same which will come back to plague us.
Antigone chose to follow her conscious despite of the consequences. She could have buried her brother in secret but she felt that what she was doing was right and her actions were following the laws of the gods. Her decision to act publicly ended in her death, however she was still satisfied with her decision. Acts of conscience such as Antigone’s should be made public to be affective. If Antigone had decided to keep her actions a secret, Creon would have never lost his family and would have probably stayed a stubborn and unforgiving king.
