This puzzles Othello as he is unsure why Iago, his most trustworthy friend, is reminding him to keep his reputation: “he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed.” This further arouses Othello’s curiousity. Iago also warns Othello about the dangers of jealousy, “the green-eyed monster” and infers that Othello is a cuckold, a man married to an unfaithful wife. Iago
“What Montresor wanted – and perhaps what everyone wants who fantasizes about revenge – was not retribution, but closure” (Delaney). This statement is clear in Poe’s description of the important components in what makes a revenge successful (Delaney). “I am not punish but punish with impunity, A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as
Furthermore, his reasons and justifications for murdering the pawn broker lead the reader to believe rather strongly that Raskolnikov is indeed a “bad” person. He had no true reason to kill Alyona Ivanovna except to see whether or not he had the guts to do it. However, he tried to justify his crime with the idea that “it wasn’t a human being [he] killed. It was a principle!” (p.274) Moreover, his Napoleonic mindset led him to believe that he was superior to both people like Alyona, whom he considered a hindrance to society, and to the average person. Therefore, according to his logic, he had the right to do as he pleased.
Because he wants to help his lover, Tamora, get revenge against Titus? That might be the reason, but Aaron never says much. There's got to be some better explanation. We could say that Aaron's only motive for going after the Andronicus family is that he just likes to be bad and evil. When he says “Vengeance is in my heart” I think he means that most of the motives his actions are for “love” but not necessarily for his love over Tamora but also his love for being bad.
“I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and this rid myself of the eye for ever”(722). The narrator has an idea that he pursues for no apparent reason. As the reader, we do not second-guess our self because he states the eye was the only reason he wanted to kill the old man. However, one aspect showing the narrator’s unreliability is his insanity. “How, then, am I
It is this pride that constantly rejects Montresors’ pleas for returning back. AS mentioned before we don’t know where the story would have gone had he accepted the request of turning back, but it leads us with evidence of the type of character Fortunato is. One can only imagine just how constantly he berates Montresor, and you now have an idea into why Poe made it clear not to specify the insult that enraged
He is blind because he thinks that he is making the right choice when in reality he is leading himself into chaos. Getting into the middle of the book, Macbeth admits that he is having strange self-delusions. This is most likely his guilty conscience but he is blind to this and ignores it. He explains to lady Macbeth that it is merely just his lack of experience when it comes to crime, “...My strange and self-abuse is the initiate fear that wants hard use. We are yet but young in deed.” (III iv 174-175).
He says 'I have done the deed' and avoids using the words kill, murder or death. This shows that he is regretting what he has done and makes the audience wonder how he, a murderous savage who sticks his ememies heads on poles, could go through with this task when can't even bear to admit it to himself. It shows that he is emotionally effected whereas Lady Macbeth is unsympathetic when she says 'A foolish thought to say a sorry sight.' However it could also show that Macbeth doesn't want anyone to overhear as this would ruin their plan completely. Shakespeare adds hidden messages in this passage that the Elizabethan audience would have understood.
Indeed, men when the realization of wrong in them selves is seen attempt to correct their misdeed. Pride causes one to refuse to admit wrong and this is seen in Oedipus Rex and Antigone by Sophocles. Oedipus, in Oedipus Rex, when confronted with the possibility of him being the murder of Liaus repudiates the warning, refusing to listen because fear and prideGrips his better judgment and clouds his wisdom. "Thou didst: but I was misled by my fear. "[Pg 59, Oedipus Rex -Sophocles].
Then there’s the Devil role if he assumes this role why is the Misfit so kind to the people even though he intended to kill them? What was his purpose in this? There’s also a song that goes along with this very story Sufjan Stevens “A Good Man Is Hard to find” is a short song relating back to
