However due to Charles’ personal monarchy, he shaped the way he wanted the country to be run thus was the root cause of the deterioration in the Crown-Parliament relationship.

"If that have not avenged me, I can do no more!" Chillingworth says that the letter was revenge enough for the crime that Hester committed, but she wore it as a badge of pride. This punishment did not wear her down the way that Dimmesdale’s did. While Chillingworth was evil in his last years, he could have done more to punish Hester secretly, but he did not take it to that extreme. Perhaps he did care for her more and he would admit.
However, there are sometimes raised vignettes, such as servants management to run a successful mutiny or broker to return home. "The Slave Ship" is a fascinating account of cruelty and torture, greed and dishonesty, defiance and resignation. Rediker apparently trying to appeal to the emotions of readers, a technique which is not as often as possible.

Sentences ans sections of poems are repeated which gives the impression of Hinley slowly losing her mind throughout the poem. Duffy uses language very effectively, in parts of the poem almost creating a sense of sympathy for Hinley at the same time as making her seem evil. When reading the poem Duffy’s opinion of Hinley is hard to understand. She seems to sympathies with Hinley in some areas of the poem however in other areas the poem emphasises how evil Hinley is.

He said that if people acted on virtue then there would be no need for reign by terror but I think that because everyone has different virtues there would still be a fair amount of conflict. And as for terror being justice, I am not so sure. By terrorizing one person others will be affected, and they may or may not deserve to be put through that stress. If the troublesome child of a good family is killed for his negative actions, the family is going to suffer due to their loss. Maybe there is a better way to punish those accused of wrong doings.
Institutionalizing the notion of revenge and to have it be a goal that society pursues through the criminal justice system offends the ideals of many. This ethical dilemma is most apparent in the death penalty debate. Arguably, there is no real reason for inflicting the death penalty other than society's need for retribution, as incarcerating that same individual for a life sentence without the possibility of parole will effectively incapacitate them and protect society from his criminal behavior. But the desire for retaliation dates back to ancient times, where the Hammurabi Code essentially necessitated "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," which is reflected by the punitive goals of our modern criminal justice system. The ethical debate between those who view retribution as a natural goal of justice and those who feel that state-sanctioned revenge has no place in modern society will continue, particularly as it relates to the death penalty
If there is zero chance of the outcome swaying in your direction then at some points you might as well give up.

You never know how something will end; you must always wait it out till the end.
