Quote 2: "WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." Part 1, Chapter 1, pg. 6 Quote 3: "A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledgehammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic." Part 1, Chapter 1, pg. 16 Q 4:one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended."
When he is in the pursuit to kill, he will stop at nothing to satisfy his anger. This knight of the rueful figure's temper is out of control, causing the pain and suffering to all those in the vicinity. The love Don Quixote has overflows, being
There were many stories alike. Whether they were true or not, we don't know - but Cromwell believed them. He was a puritan and he believed it was his duty to punish the Catholics, hence going to Ireland. When Catholics refused to surrender to Cromwell, he ordered his Soldiers to kill all of them with the words "Show them no quarter". Hundreds hid in a church, but Cromwell ordered it to be set alight - many were burnt alive, and all local priests were killed.
Antony’s Prophecy on the Fate of Rome Antony’s frustration towards Caesar’s death is clear and evident; consequently, he vows to avenge his loyal friend’s brutal murder. Through the effective use of concrete, vivid, visual imagery, apostrophe, and foreshadowing in the form a prophecy, Antony predicts that the conspirators’ murder of Caesar will cause chaos amongst Roman citizens and result in an upcoming civil war that is destructive in nature. Antony establishes concrete, vivid and visual imagery in his soliloquy. Evidence of blood imagery occurs when Antony becomes furious over the sight of Caesar’s blood, as he says: “Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!” (258). This line reveals Antony’s hatred towards blood, especially since it is Caesar’s.
Quote; Chorus: “And when he had put on the yoke-strap of compulsion, his spirits wind veering to an impious blast, impure, unholy, from that moment his mind changed to a temper of utter ruthlessness. For mortals are made reckless by the evil counsels of merciless infatuation, beginner of disaster. And so he steeled himself to become the sacrificer of his daughter, to aid a war fought to avenge a woman’s loss and to pay beforehand for his ships.” (218-227) This is wear the divine intervention of Gods come into play. Agamemnon claims that the sacrifice of his daughter was necessary to win the war against Troy, because Artemis trapped him in Aulis with unfavorable winds, and the sacrifice of Iphigenia would appease her, allowing them to successfully reach
She was not just a figurehead. Perhaps the most significant event during Empress Theodora's rule was the Nika revolt. During this event, two rival political groups (known as the Blues and the Greens) started a riot at the Hippodrome. They set many public buildings on fire and proclaimed a new emperor. Justinian, terrified and his officials, unable to control the crowd prepared to flee, but Theodora basically told them to stay and hold their ground.
However it was Asoka’s campaign against Kalinga that suddenly changed the emperor’s values . It is said to have been swift, brutal and successful but he was so horrified by the carnage inflicted by himself and his men that he began to question his violent ways. The battle caused the deaths of more than 100,000 soldiers and many civilians who rose up in defence; over 150,000 were deported. When he was walking through the grounds of Kalinga after his conquest, rejoicing in his victory, he was moved by the number of bodies strewn there and the wails of the kith and kin of the dead and cried out “What have I done? If this is a victory, what's a defeat then?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me. (Julius Caesar, 3.2 102-109) At this point Antony turns around and pretends to cry, enrapturing the audience with his sudden flood of emotion. This leads to an uproar, with the mob slowly turning against the
In the epic poetry of Homer we see the divine intervention of Gods in human affairs. The ancient Greek gods not only squabbled with the people but also amongst themselves. The Gods also displayed very human characteristics or jealously and choosing favorites. In Homer’s the Iliad, Apollo the son of Zeus having been angered by the capture of Chryses daughter was infuriated by the Greeks thus favoring the Trojans in war, intervening, and reaping havoc. “He settled down some way from the ships and shot an arrow, with a terrifying twang from his silver bow… day and night, packed funeral pyres burned” (RAEH 29).
The dictator’s methods had laid a black hand on nearly every aristocratic family in the land; and abroad, Europe’s elites, initially sympathetic to his attempts to modernize Portugal, were horrified at his excesses. His orders to burn the village of Trefaria for its resistance to his military recruiters confirmed him as a man who had now completely abandoned any pretense of decency. The death of Joseph I, Pombal’s patron or puppet, in 1777 marked the beginning of his downfall. Immediately after Joseph’s burial, the new regent Maria I ordered the release of over eight hundred imprisoned Jesuits and aristocrats from Pombal’s dungeons; public outrage swelled as word spread of the extreme state of their physical deterioration. The natural piety of the people reasserted itself.
