Pariya Chanchaisri Period 6, AP English Literature Dr. Clark June 10th, 2010 Death of a Moor It is pretty clear that Othello from Othello, the Moor of Venice, is considered as the tragic hero of the play. He dismisses Cassio from his position as his lieutenant; he has an extremely weak mind when it comes to being influenced. He ends up killing himself. More importantly, he had committed his sin by putting Desdemona, his most loyal wife, on a situation where she “were best” to remain silent. But do you ever wonder the true cause for Othello to murder his most loyal and faithful wife?
I am here to talk to you today about the death of Romeo and Juliet, and who is to blame for the scandalous death the suspects are Friar Lawrence or Juliet’s nurse. I believe it is Friar Lawrence to blame and I will explain why he is to blame for their deaths throughout this speech. Firstly Friar Lawrence had given Juliet a poison only to stimulate an extreme coma and, to make her breathing and heartbeat slow down. This was chosen to be done therefore a heartbeat can’t be detected but on the other hand Friar Lawrence acted thoughtless, selfish and shockingly. This was a risk that he had given Juliet the sleep like death poison that he had taken a risk.
I get the feeling that she was sick from before because of the fact that she killed her husband and went into hiding. I also sympathize with her because if my husband or any family member was brain dead I kind-of would’ve wanted to end their suffering too but at least stick around to do the time after, instead of running away like you planned it. Maybe while her husband was “dead” she snapped and just couldn’t take it anymore, standing around waiting for your loved one to die is just horrible, and maybe during that timing she just had a break down physiologically, and emotionally.
Guilt “The Silent Killer” In William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” guilt and shame causes a slow and painful death not only for Macbeth but Lady Macbeth as well. From Macbeth’s hallucinations of Banquo’s ghost to Lady Macbeth’s suicide, guilt is represented in both of these misfortunes. Guilt causes Macbeth’s mind to slowly deteriorate over time, which generates a slow and agonizing death. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth suffer from insanity due to their crimes, making both them choose extreme immoral decisions such as agreeing to kill Banquo. Knowing this(Prpp) one might assume that Macbeth’s selfdestructive guilt cannot be appeased by recourse to action.
People who have been cheated on will start to feel sorry for Bundy because they know how it feels to have to catch the one you love in the compromising situation. She then goes into a spill on how the man must have never loved her at all. She cries out, “didn’t love me ain’t no fool”. This is very logical because any man who has ever really loved a woman could not bring himself to being unfaithful. She goes into a description of how love has let her down and she will not be strung along, this builds pathos and ethos because she gets herself out of the situation by leaving him.
This change of emotions is caused by her overpowering love for Romeo. Her intense love for Romeo gives her to forgive him, as she thinks of reasons to justify Romeo’s actions. From “That villain cousin would have killed my husband” and “My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain, / And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain my husband.”, she convinces herself that Tybalt would have killed Romeo even if he did not die first, hence showing her loyalties lie with Romeo, not Tybalt or the Capulets any longer. Therefore eventually she reaches a conclusion, “Back foolish tears, back to your native spring”, that “All this is comfort, wherefore I weep then?” that it should be a good thing that Tybalt is dead so that Romeo can live and they can be
She was the daughter of a famous prince named Tancredi who was known for his kindness and compassion but save for one dark event in his life. When his daughter took on a lover and, he discovered so, he was overcome with a sadness and anguish that he ordered the man captured, killed, and his heart ripped out of his body. Tancredi then presented the heart of Ghismonda's lover in a golden chalice. She then put poison inside the cup and drank from it to end her own life. Bacchiacca was a famous Florentine painter whose works stuck very much to the Florentine and neo-classical style of artwork.
Kreon thinks that the person who caused all of this is Antigone. He thinks that Antigone caused this because it was her fault that that they had an argument in the first place about burying Polyneices. Kreon might think that of Antigone as his nemesis because she causes problems to his family and his empire. He deals with Antigone by slaving her and putting her into in a cave until she starved to death. “Be happy, You are living; but my soul died long ago, to be useful among the death”(pg.43).this are Antigones words which show she wanted to hang herself to be with her
Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. It could be said that the person who is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death is Lord Capulet. After all, he is the one who forced Juliet to marry Paris, which eventually led her to drink the potion and “kill” herself. Lord Capulet was so intent on saving his reputation; he did not realize all the pain he was putting his child through. However, one could also argue that the Nurse is at fault.
Thus this was what she meant by not even the perfume of Arabia can cover up her guilty sin. Another example would be when Lady Macbeth says “Was your hands, put on your night-gown, looking not so pale: I tell you yet again, Banquo’s buried. (5, 1; 52). Considering the fact that Banquo is dead, and she was the one who influenced her husband to do all those bad deeds, in the end it caused her to relive this scene to show how cruel she was in the past. Thus it is shown that guilt can cause one to lose there inner conscience.
