When is loses its power, chaos occurs. For example when Jack states, “And the conch doesn’t count at this end of the island−” (Golding, 166). They have an argument and begin a chant. Jack leads the chant and Simon crawls out of the forest to be brutally murdered by the boys. This shows that when a once huge symbolism of power loses its significance, mayhem takes place.

His lovely apron went mad with grief, and declared milk illegal. Unfortunately, this declaration rent the leprechaun population in two, those loyal to the king and in favour of the anti-milk laws, and those in favour of milky goodness. This civil war killed thousands, and many weapons and booby traps have been left over from this era, such as pots of gold(2). Eventually, with the leprechaun population decimated, the pro-milkers surrendered, and a new era of anti milk was established. In the wake of the war, a new totalitarian government rose up to take the old monarchy’s place.
To atone for this crime and regain his honor, he goes to King Eurystheus of Mycenae. Hercules asks the king if there is anything he could do to make up for the slaughtering of his family he cherished so much. The king had no answer on the spot for Hercules, so he consulted the gods and asked what kind of act could restore some of his honor. The king got his answer but from a god that has no intention of seeing Hercules live and that god was the goddess Hera. Hera proposed that in order for Hercules to be forgiven he is to perform 12 labors.
Everything is Not What it Seems Part 1 (Theme): Deception Deception seems to occur on every page of the Summoning of Everyman, printed by John Skot. The play begins with God informing us that Everyman has deceived him by living his life loving riches instead of worshipping and acknowledging the Lord. God sends Death to summon Everyman to his reckoning, and Death informs him that he can bring along whoever or whatever he sees beneficial to him. After Everyman learns this, he begs several people in his life to join him on his journey. They all agree until they find out that Everyman will not be returning.

All these things that both Han Yu and Tang Emperor Wu said about Buddhism clearly proves
A source written by Roger of Wendover, a monk and supporter of the barons against John says ‘The servants of a certain sheriff somewhere in Wales brought to the royal court a robber. He had robbed and murdered a priest. John said ‘he has killed an enemy of mine, let him go’. In 1209 Geoffrey, a priest said it was not safe for priests to work for the king any longer. John heard of this and in his fury had Geoffrey imprisoned in chains, clad in a cope made of lead and starved.
Perhaps the man that shot the creature after it had saved a little girl from drowning would be a better example of being too quick to judge. All of the judgments seem to bring a negative effect on the judged. Frankenstein tells of the creatures payback to Dr. Frankenstein for judging his creation and not taking responsibility for it. The creature winds up killing several of the doctor's family members and his very close friend, Henry Clerval. In his search for vengeance the creature condemns himself to the internal suffering of knowing that he has taken the life of a person.
So they took it upon themselves to revolt against their masters and succeeded in stealing an apple. This caused our entire race to fall from this state of ignorant bliss, to wake up from the mind prison. The slave race rose up against the gods after having awakened to the truth of their situation. The slaves left Eden, the civilized area the gods lived. The war raged, and both the gods and mankind were so busy on each other a catastrophe was not noticed and it hit the earth where in only a few of them survived.
Creon refuses to give Polyneices a proper burial because he believes that he is a traitor, sentenced Antigone to death, and “[has] trampled on God’s right”(Ant. 1187).
