Although Romeos thirst for revenge was satisfied the consequences were dire. “And for that offence immediately we do exile him hence. I have an interest in your hearts' proceeding. My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding.” In this quote Prince delivers Romeos sentencing which is assisted by emotive language to allow the audience to relate to how the Prince feels and brings the audience to the realisation that disobeying authority can have negative effects more than just one

The character of Jack in Lord of the Flies serves to highlight the uneven cruelty and power distributed through society. His character depicts a battle between good and evil, this theme is one that was influenced by Golding's own experiences in World War two. Jack represents the breakdown in society and how the “blood thirsty”, savagery in human nature can cause the fall of man and lead to autocratic tribalism. Jack’s craving for power is made evident right from the beginning of the novel. when the boys decide that they “ought to have a chief”, Jack jumps at the chance with “simple arrogance”, and states that its because he is “chapter chorister”, and can “sing C sharp”,so in other words, for no valid reason at all.
They contrast each other making each more black or more white. In this paragraph Mr. Harvey and just how evil he is will be discussed. On page 26 we see that Mr. Harvey is so evil he has convinced himself he is innocent. “He wore his innocence like a comfortable old coat.” He has gotten away with murdering people so many times it has just become natural to him. Right from the very beginning it is apparent that Mr. Harvey is evil.
Kroll appeals to the emotions of the reader through description of the harsh, cruel conditions of death row, whereas Mencken uses dark humor while arguing for support of the death penalty. In The Penalty of Death by H.L. Mencken, dark humor is evident early on. While laying out two opposing viewpoints, Mencken describes execution as the “frying” or “gassing” of a man so the reader doesn’t take the opposition seriously. Mencken brings humor to a serious issue while effectively portraying the opposing arguments as complaints.
He focuses on the anger created by racism within the American society and proves his point by telling his own life story about protecting his “manhood.” It exposes anger, revenge, and violence as the solution in facing the racial society to preserving his “manhood.” The gun symbolizes the past and the present. It is a symbol to describe how and why the author reacted the way he did. It shows how powerful and defensive a gun can be and over time how it currently serves for different purposes. People abuse the privilege of owning a gun. The story eventually comes to a conclusion alluding everyone matures differently
However, in modern society, sex crimes are a growing problem that are gaining attention. If Dante were to rewrite the Inferno for a modern audience, he would surely include this sin in his comedy. Morality is the sense of whether an action is “good” or “bad”; what is punishable behavior and what is rewardable behavior. Morals will often vary between cultures, basing themselves upon what that cultures hold important and valuable. What makes sex crimes an interesting offense to write about is that, among generally all the cultures of the world, they are deemed despicable.
For example, Tom tells Mr. Wilson about the incident that happens with Myrtle, and that Gatsby was responsible for it. This caused Mr. Wilson to fill with anger, and lead him to kill Jay Gatsby, and commit suicide. From these two situations, we see two contrasting consequences from one similar emotion. Jay Gatsby’s jealousy motivates him to pursue his true love, while Tom’s jealousy leads to the death of multiple characters. In conclusion, it is extremely transparent that Tom is a more corrupt character compared to Jay Gatsby.
Spill the blood!” (174,175) Reasoning: No civil person would repeatedly state this phrase. This definitely represents savagery. It shows how bloodthirsty these boys are and then when they recite this while murdering Simon; it makes it even more gruesome. They’re so consumed in all the blood that they don’t even realize they had killed Simon until it is too late. • “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.” (235) Reasoning: This quote that was stated at the end of the book shows the reader and myself that the world of savagery only leads to murder and sorrow.
Do you believe in eye for an eye, better known as revenge? How about second chances, mercy or forgiveness for anyone, regardless of any wrongs they have committed? In the play and story of “Romeo and Juliet” revenge and hatred are present in many places, the most memorable and prominent being the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. A quote that comes to mine from the world renowned and cherished philosopher Confucius, “When going on a journey for revenge, you must dig two graves, one for your victim, and one for yourself.” Louis L’Amour, “A wise man fights to win, but he is twice a fool who has no plan for possible defeat”. This relates to Tybalt starting the fight because he fights and kills Mercutio but has no plan for defeat when fighting with Benvolio; meaning he didn’t think of the thrashing of himself after the possible fight.
