When Huck fakes his own murder, Pap seems to have feelings of regret but ultimately does not care as much as a father should. Because Pap does not take care of Huck like he should, karma affects him and he ends up dead inside a floating house. The King and the Duke portray villains because they always play mean tricks on people. The even have counterfeit names. The ‘Duke’, purely to receive preferential treatment from Huck and Jim,
Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations” (Jackson 2). This can represent how men in older times were the ones to die, but now it’s the women’s turn. The lottery itself is symbolic. Normally, the lottery makes people happy because it is very beneficial to them, but not in this story. The lottery is a winning party to the people who lose and death to those who win.
It looks like they should kill their enemy, but at the beginning of two stories they didn’t because both barber and the narrator have justice in their heart. “Gregory” is a story about loyalty, friendship and irony. When the narrator’s execution is ordered the guerrilla's must choose between their friend and their loyalty to their country. However, the narrator has to obey the order to kill him. In “Just lather, that’s all”, the barber has a lot of chance to kill Captain Torres but he didn’t.
They are corrupt because they have social status but then they abused this power. Furthermore, the villains in both The Duchess of Malfi and Measure for Measure have the characteristics of Machiavellian villains. Per contra, Angelo is not like the villains in The Duchess of Malfi because he does not have an assistant to help him and does not have a personal vendetta against another in the play. He just wants to eliminate crime but, eventually, contradicts his own laws he is enforcing by asking Isabella to give her body to him sexually to save her brother: ‘You must lay down the treasures of your body To this supposed, or else to let him suffer: What would you do?’ (Act 2 Scene iv) This quotation tells us that; females of that day and age would have done exactly what they were told to do, on command if told to. We can see this by looking at the language of this quotation.
The story is enjoyable for its humorous portrayal of a family embarking on a vacation; O'Connor has been unforgiving in her portrayal of these characters. Misfit can be determine as sympathetic because he was wrongly punished, he had no other option than killing the family and polite and well mannered. Firstly, Misfit was wrongly accused for killing his father and was punished and sent to jail. I think Misfit did not killed his father because if he did he would remember it. He asks for the proof and paper work from cops but they did not show him.
Claudius purposefully set out to murder his own flesh and blood, which proves his selfishness, similar to the biblical reference of the serpent. The ghost goes on to say, “With witchcraft of his wits, with traitorous gifts… So to seduce! -- won to his shameful lust.” This further emphasizes the reference to Adam and Eve because Claudius acted as the serpent that tempted Eve with the poisonous fruits in the Garden of Eden, the “orchard,” to “win his shameful lust.” By expressing diction to metaphorically relate Claudius to the serpent, it helps align the reader with Hamlet and the Ghost in their contempt for Claudius and the Queen and heightens the reader’s sense of vengeance. Furthermore, in the passage, Shakespeare applies imagery to show Hamlet and the ghost's abhorrence towards Claudius and the Queen's corrupt nature. By presenting Claudius as the unfaithful serpent, it gives readers the connotation that he is evil, betraying and loathsome, correlating to the ghost’s and Hamlet’s feelings.
Admittedly, as sympathetic and understanding as readers are for Lennie, Lennie is still a danger to other lives. In many instances in the book, Lennie accidentally kills many lives but does not realize the significance of his mistakes. Lennie is a man with the mind of a child with an unequal match of formidable strength, hence committing murder without meaning to do so. In the scene when Lennie kills Curley’s wife, he has the same slightly panicked reaction as when he killed the rat and puppy earlier in the book. Readers then realize that Lennie doesn’t understand the difference between killing an animal and murdering a human, therefore putting other lives at risk.
An easy accusation of one’s name could tarnish their reputation and ruin their career. This happens to many citizens in Salem when they are charged with the involvement of witchcraft and do not wish to confess to such an outrageous allegation in honor of their good name. The Crucible is a perfect depiction in how intolerance and paranoia of the supernatural can tear a community apart. The devil and sorcery is used as a scapegoat to cover up ones personal mistakes and bad coincidences. If there is something wrong with the plants or the animals keep dying, it must be the work of black magic.
The Mayan also attacked killing and injuring some Aztec. Huts were burned with families still in them. The Mayans stood strong to protect their village, but the large group of Aztecs conquered the village and took them as slaves. The Aztecs always wanted to appease the gods through sacrificing humans. They believed extracting the hearts and chopping the victims head would renew the world.
So they accuse and convict (by bribery) an innocent bystander (Davy,a seamstresses’ son) of attempted murder because he apparently “obstructed the vehicle and caused the accident” and his sentence is death but a portion of his body will be used to save Acudo. Now here is where our favorite anti-hero is given the big decision of; taking an innocent life and helping someone who will only do more harm than good OR let the troublemaker pass and have on his conscious that an innocent person is dead because of him……but being the genius that black jack is he thinks of an off the wall solution of, simply switching the faces by putting Davy’s face on Acudo’s dead body and vice versa, therefore fooling Mr. Wealthy Billionaire into thinking it’s his beloved son and still getting paid. After the bandages come off a couple months later after the surgery, he’s elated that his “son” is okay but the first chance he gets he escapes the hospital and returns to his with the money that black jack gave him.
