Boor shows this when he writes, “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). The only reason his parents told him the truth is Paul confronted them. While they admitted that he had a right to know, they justified their reason for not telling him earlier. Paul may have understood that his parents’ love led to their over protection but he probably distrusted his parents and their ability to tell him the whole truth. Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life.
Romeos love does not cause the death of Mercutio because Mercutio wanted to fight Tybalt and he did not even know that Romeo was in love. All through the film Mercutio wanted to fight Tybalt and was making fun of him. When the Montague boys were down at Verona beach and the Capulet boys came to find Romeo, Mercutio was making fun of Tybalt then and Tybalt did it back which made Mercutio. Mercutio felt like fighting Tybalt then to which had nothing to do with Romeo or his love. If Mercutio let Romeo fight with Tybalt he might still be alive.
It almost leads us to question Henry’s morals if he is willing to kill infants. Although we assume that Henry is just playing up what will happen because he hasn’t lost control of them yet we have to play with the notion that Henry isn’t on as high of a moral ground as we thought even though it might be a just ground. This speech also uses a lot more detail to describe certain events than the other two speeches. He vividly states, “ the blind and bloody soldier with foul hand defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters:”(34-35). This is very detailed and horrific because he is saying he won’t be able to stop his soldiers from raping the women in the city.
Another action Creon performed that led to his tragic downfall was his decision not to listen to his son, Haimon, who tried convincing him not to punish Antigone. After Creon's argument with Haimon, Creon responds to the Choragos, “Let him do, or dream to do, more than a man can. He shall not save these girls from death”(III, l. 145-146). When Creon and Haimon finish their argument, Haimon threatens Creon that someone was going to be killed if he chooses to punish Antigone. Creon's decision to disagree with his son made a catastrophic impact on what was coming for him in his future.
How could I hit back at him? Oh, yes… He had said to kill the kitten and I would kill it! I knew he had not really meant for me to kill the kitten, but my deep hate of him urged me toward a literal acceptance of his word.” Wright, 11. Richard found a way to make his resentment felt without his getting in trouble, because if he had gotten into trouble his father would’ve lost his authority and the weight of his
However, Curley threatens “(he’s) going to shoot the bastard (himself) even if (he’s) only got one hand. (He’s) gonna get ‘im.” Although Curley’s threat seems to put Lennie in imminent danger, these are only words. There was nothing to say that Curley would have definitely killed him, he may have only tortured him. George saved Lennie from a potential death. In addition to Curley though, George’s action can be seen as an act of justice as he kept others out of harm’s way from Lennie’s inexcusable but accidental strength.
If you are a person who can read people you might have been saved the experience that Mrs. Culhane went through. After clearing his son’s name of the crime, she tried to offer him less money, which is something you just don’t do when dealing with Mr. Ehrengraf. This is when you learn about the real side of Mr. Ehrengraf, the man who you do not cross. After she tries to explain that to him her reasoning, she is told a “story” of how he was able to get her son off. The truth was too much for her, and terrified her to her core.
An example where we can see Atticus showing compassion despite the fact that he does not entirely agree with Bob Ewell’s actions is when he says “… so if spitting in my face and threatening me saved Mayella Ewell one extra beating, that’s something I’ll gladly take. He had to take it out one somebody and I’d rather it be me than that houseful of children out there.” (Lee,
Henry admits he didn’t want to fall in love with her, but ince they <br>rarely argue. eath. He notices because of his love he has become gentle. <br>When he deserts and returns to Catherine he finds comfort, order, and courage.

In one instance after she lost her job, Leroy does more than beat Minny; he tries to kill her. This would be considered a mortal sin because he did not hurt Minny out of righteous anger, but out of his own selfishness. This offense caused a complete separation from God. An example of a venial sin, a less serious offense against the will of God that only diminishes our relationship with God, is when Skeeter’s mother lies about what happened to Constantine. This would be considered a venial sin because it goes against the teaching of one of our 10 commandments.
