They’re going to hunt you tomorrow” (170). Jack kills Ralph last because Ralph is the last person Jack views as a threat to his goals. Jack is afraid Ralph might prevent him from taking complete control of the island, since initially Ralph was the leader. The darkness of humanity can destroy society since society gets in the way of the darkness of humanity. In the Lord of the Flies, Jack has been trying to destroy Ralph since chapter 1 because he wanted power.
Because of this, he decides he must kill Banquo, so that there will be no heir. “Macbeth plots the murder of Banquo, out of jealousy and insecurity.” (Hompi 1) This is obviously an absurd idea, and prior to Macbeth’s murder of King Duncan he never would have considered it as a solution. Shakespeare uses this to show how power corrupts even the best of people. It is obvious that this is still a problem in society today, as people start off with good intentions but slowly get sidetracked. Before long, their objectives have changed completely.
It seems like the only way out of certain situations for the emperor, like fighting in the Colosseum, is to fool others in order to gain their respect or love. Machiavellian leadership states that leaders tend to pretend to have virtues to deceive for power, and to complete unlawful business in private in order to succeed. Commodus naturally makes the decision to lie on the throne. Simultaneously, he deceives himself because thinks that his decisions would benefit him both long and short term. He throws himself into situations, believing that he would always win since he is the emperor, but ends up failing drastically in the end.
However, the innocence and peacefulness conveyed in the African American college students helps define the meaning of not only the film, but also of the Civil Rights Movement as a whole: we are all equal, no matter what color our skin may be. One interview in particular shared the story of a young white male who joined in a protest by a group of African Americans and was ridiculed and abused by other whites for his involvement. This also does the job of impacting the viewer to see that racism is extremely ugly and an unnecessary evil in America. The documentary definitely reinforces the saying “a picture’s worth a thousand
This is made clear during Dap’s visit to KFC. Although the majority of the film’s action concerns the two on-campus factions, we pull back to see that these “factions” can really be viewed as a united group in the dichotomy between students and townies. What is implied to audiences is that even outside this townie / student conflict, these groups are united as Blacks against the White residents of the area. By seeing that we can continue to pull back and refocus our attention on a broader conflict, we can begin to understand division as a telescopic phenomenon. There is clearly defined conflict at each focal length, with each conflict staged as a two-party opposition.
Hamlet thinks it’s the king who is doing the spying and therefore ends up killing Polonius. This foil of Hamlet gives him a violent image and makes him look like he doesn’t know how to control his emotions. Polonius’s problem is the same, yet the results are less severe. Polonius makes himself sound like a fool by not thinking through things thoroughly Another foil in Hamlet is young Fortinbras, the nephew to the king of Norway. Like Hamlet, Fortinbras’ father was also killed, and his uncle took over the throne.
The lesson in this film can be related to any difficulties in life, not just racism. Remember the Titans 3 This movie is extremely meaningful, especially coming from an African American culture. I related to this movie, not so much my experience but from my parents perspective. My parents experienced racism first hand. Watching movies like “Remember the Titans” educated me firsthand on how African Americans were treated.
What dares the slave Come hither, cover’d with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honour of my kin. To strike him dead, I hold it not a sin.”(Page 81-83, lines 51-56, 1.5)1 Romeo went to the Grand Masquerade that was hosted by Juliet’s father named lord Capulet. Unfortunately, Juliet’s cousin named Tybalt saw the Montague Romeo and wanted to hit him but fortunately Lord Capulet told the violent Tybalt not to, because it will bring a very bad name against him. Especially since Lord Capulet is well respected in the community he did not want to lose the respect that those people have on him.
Before hearing the witch’s prophecy, he was a virtuous and ethical person, but after hearing that he is destined for kingship, he goes on a murderous rampage to gain political power, completely disregarding his previous decency. This is similar to how Oedipus was originally a just ruler, until he hears that he is the reason for the plague upon Thebes, which he is unable to believe because he is blinded by pride and arrogance similar to how Macbeth is blinded by the quest for supremacy. At this point in the play, blood, as well as Macbeth, has made the complete transformation from symbolizing virtue, courage, and integrity, and instead represents guilt, murder, and
Morality in Julius Caesar Morality in Julius Caesar The removal of Caesar from office by assassination in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar attempts to justify an unethical act by focusing on the motivation behind the actor instead of the righteousness of the act itself. Throughout this play, the empirical immorality of murder is ignored. A man’s ethics are surely corrupt when the taking of another’s life for the sake of politics is merited. Therefore, Shakespeare ought not have erroneously depicted the slaying of Caesar as a satisfactory method of seizing control of ancient Rome. Brutus compares Caesar, whom was soon to be crowned, to "a serpent’s egg which hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous" who must be killed while still in its shell.
