His sense of pride prevented him from admitting to the adultery. Thus, the town did not understand Abigail’s motivation as did Proctor. He could have also prevented his demise if he had chosen to sign the paper. However, he feels that his name is “not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang” and chooses death over humility. This play exhibits tragedy because, though Proctor had many opportunities to change his fate, he chooses his demise because his tragic flaw prohibits him from doing otherwise.
Because he was blind to the prophecy, he blinds himself to remember everything he had done. His fate would have been execution, but by punishing himself, he makes other believe that he is punished. In addition to Oedipus avoiding his fate he is a coward in terms of his actions. He tells Creon to exile him far away because he is too afraid to deal with all that has happed. When he says “Drive me out of this country as quickly as may be to a place where no human voice can ever greet me.” (Ln.
Antigone’s tragic flaw is that she is too passionate and strong-willed for her own good. She insists on burying her brother, Polyneices, even when the king forbade it. When asked why she ignored his demand Antigone replied, “I dared. It was not God’s proclamation” (783, 64-65). Antigone is telling Creon that rather than listen to his man made laws that she would rather follow the higher authority of the God’s.
Romeo and Juliet Who is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? It depends on your point of view. If you look at it a certain way everybody had role to play in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. First off, Juliet herself was responsible for her own death, because she should not have engaged with a male who likes to hang around in her backyard attempting to look into her window, but should have paid attention to her mother and father instead. Also Juliet should have not have went along with Friar Lawrence's foolish arrangement, or forced him into propositioning it in the first place, she also committed suicide so that was her fault.
“The Great Chain of Being was supposed to keep the Earth in a stable condition and order. Anything that breaks this chain of order was said to disrupt the stability of the universe.” (Wikka 1) Macbeth was selfish to commit this act for nothing but personal gain. In the end he was not even content with the outcome, just like the people around him. “I’ll go no more: / I am afraid to think what I have done” (II.ii.48-49) Therefore, selfishness only leads to unhappiness and trouble for all. This is shown, also, when Macbeth begins to keep his wife out from his life.
However, what they didn’t know is that Albert would later generalize his fear towards white and fluffy things such as a Santa Claus mask. Watson had no problem by doing this experiment because there were no ethical rules or guidelines in 1920. Nonetheless, if they were to realise this experiment nowadays, not only would they be criticised by their unmoral behaviour, but they would also lose their right to perform any types of experiments, for this experiment breaks many ethical rules. To start with, no parental consent was made and no one knew what they were doing to the poor little baby. Also, Albert didn’t have any chance of withdrawal.
“Friar Lawrence, less ambitious and more desperate than his fellow manipulators, does not hope that Juliet’s death will dissolve the families’ hatreds but only that it will give Romeo and chance to come and carry her off” (Snyder). At this point Romeo and Juliet’s relationship could not solve the problems between the families and the Friar was only uniting them. This is what made the Friar so repulsive. Even now after deaths and family issues, He treated the situation like a game. “Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope, / Which craves as desperate an execution / As that is desperate which we would prevent (4.1.69-71).
Creon cares about his son so much he doesn’t want Haemon to marry Antigone just because she broke the law. Creon says, “You will never marry this side of death.”(646) Creon cares mostly about his family and don’t Haemon to marry a women that did something bad. Creon is doing the right thing for his son so he can live a better life than marrying a woman that broke the law. Creon also says, “No son of mine shall web so vile a creature.”(486) Haemon tries so hard to convince her father to let him marry her but Creon is stopping him. He cares about her wife, Eurydice, as well because Creon wanted to suicide when he saw his son and wife died in scene 8.
In reality, due to Lennie’s incapability to properly react to the potential threats in society, George has to make more sacrifice in order to protect him from harm. Lennie is like a defenseless child who causes trouble without understanding how to retrieve the situation, thus eventually, George realize their dream is unreachable since “All the time something like that [happen] — all the time.” (Steinbeck 11) Therefore, by shooting Lennie, George is ultimately sacrificing friendship to save him from the cruel fate set up by Curley. George will live in pain from killing a friend and loneliness while Lennie dies happily in his dream. Because George makes his sacrifice base on what is best for Lennie
Not one of the researchers believed that testing and overserving the men was unethical. Because the participants did not know in reality what they were being tested for, this study was wrongfully executed. Finally, the study showcased influential power. The testes were offered small yet desirables things such as free checkups, therapy if necessary, and rides to the clinics. Being that the subjects were financially handicapped, they willingly agreed to be tested for “bad blood.” Overall, this study was wrong morally.
