When Gillespie arrested Sam Wood Virgil also proved him innocent. Even though Gillespie didn’t like to be proven wrong by anyone and especially by a coloured person, he respected Virgil for his great detective work. At one point in the novel Gillespie and Tibbs shake hands and I think that was the high point of this noval. Virgil didn’t respect Gillespie that much in the beginning and most of the middle of this story but in the end Virgil respected Gillespie. I think it was good that Virgil did not respect Gillespie because Gillespie was using Virgil for his scapegoat.
. Othello Essay . Introduction: Othello is a Shakespearian play representing tragedy at its fullest; combining elements of jealousy, love and loath. The play is based during the Elizabethan period, in the country Cyprus whilst a battle between the Turks and Venetians were taking place. It is believed that to an extent, Othello was responsible for the tragedy that unfolded in the play; this can be partially agreed but not to a whole as this can be shown throughout the text of Othello with the manipulation of characters flaws conveyed in the play.
In The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, Shylock inhabits an anti-Semitic society in which he is treated as an inferior and without any esteem. In a response to these social dynamics, Shylock attempts to make an unmerciful statement to the Venetian community. During the trial, when pleaded multiple times by the Antonio and his men, he doesn’t take mercy on Antonio and demands for his bond to be followed and for Antonio to sacrifice a pound of his flesh. Declaring justice as a reason to the jury and to the judge, Shylock prepares to take revenge on Antonio by killing him. Shylock’s actions reveal a lot about his ethical beliefs: that he would go as far as to kill a man in order to get revenge.
Next, the threats Tybalt sends Romeo also lead up to the suicides and the cause of death. Tybalt approaches Romeo and tries to start a fight by saying, “Romeo the love I bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villain” (119). The constant threats Tybalt sends Romeo endanger his own family. Romeo was told if a family member of his or himself gets in Tybalt swore to himself that he would seek revenge on Romeo for crashing the party. Tybalt’s threats eventually become a full out issue for Romeo.
Also, his betrayal of the plan to betray Messina denied the force a valuable base of operation and potential schemes for the taking of other cities. The Sicilian expedition also suffered from the overambitious nature of the campaign itself. Plutarch describes the grand designs of Alcibiades in creating the expedition as ludicrous - the desire to eventually take Carthage and control the Mediterranean. The war in Sicily is described by Thucydides as one of near equal magnitude to the one with the Peloponnese, which already strained Athenian power. The expedition relied on the cooperation of the Ionian cities in Sicily, which was misjudged - even Rhegium, previously an ally, did not join the Athenians.
Bundy seemed like a decent man on the outside. He lived like a normal person, talked like a normal person, and acted like a normal person but he had a secret obsession for killing. He claimed a voice in his head would tell him to kill and he couldn’t help it; the voice controlled him. This doesn’t exactly make him
Despite his impressive actions, Odysseus also shows ignorance and a cowardly side. He knows that he cannot match the beast physically, and must get him extremely drunk to outsmart him. This certainly seems like an unfair battle, and a cowardly move. Also, when he is leaving, Odysseus cannot contain his extreme self-pride. As soon as they are out of the reach of the Cyclopes he tells him his real name.

She even says, "He was tall, strong-built something like you.”(960) Jocasta ignores or fails to recognize all the obvious similarities between Laios and Oedipus. Lastly, King Oedipus made a mistake losing his temper when he meets King Laios. "Then his driver tried to push me off the road...he leaned out and caught me on the head with an ugly goad… I killed them. Every one of them. "(1033-1041) Oedipus wronged Laios here by killing him over a small incident and fit of anger.
