Before the plague death was accepted and welcome. Now it was look upon as something to fear. “Some of the people were upset with the priest because they only would see the rich for money and they could not cure the plague as they had promised. (Religious Impact, 11-14-2005). In some cases it causes people to change to more extreme forms of religion like the flagellants, this was a movement that called for them to beat themselves for punishment.
The source details show the doctors were against the NHS through the sick faces of the doctors as they line up to take their medicine from the pot which has the words NHS written on it. The Doctors say “It still tastes awful” this quote shows the doctors’ are not willing to accept that the NHS will be formed as they are forcefully swallowing the medicine we can suggest that the taste of the medicine wasn’t very nice showing that the NHS was something that was unfair to the doctors and it shows that the doctors aren’t very happy with the introduction of the NHS as it will affect the doctors more than the public in terms of working hours and their wages. Source two has the same impression as source one; doctors were forced to accept the National Health Service by Bevan. Details from this source 2 show this through these quotes, “There will be a considerable degree of ratting” This means that the doctors will ultimately give up the fight because Bevan is too powerful to stand up to and they have no chance in stopping the introduction of the NHS. Also “Unfortunately, the economic sanctions which Bevan can draw against us are grim” This quotation also shows how the doctors’ were unhappy with the NHS scheme.
It also symbolises the lack of freedom when he says ‘in every ban.’ The last line in the second stanza is ambiguous ‘The mind-forg’d manacles I hear’ is a metaphorical phrase that reinforces the feeling of being trapped in London, the word manacles has connotations of slavery and that the people of London are enslaving themselves. Blake shows that even the children living in London at
Meetings involving town councils analyzed the poor as those “unwilling to work” as well as being “harmful to the public good” and not to mention their actions to “expel the poor from the city” (Doc.5). France’s Cardinal Richelieu added to that by stating that they have turned to begging and stealing from the sick (Doc. 8). Due to their crimes, this lead society to alienate them. Netherland’s Emperor Charles V stated, “If begging for alms is permitted to everyone indiscriminately, many errors and abuse will result for they will fall into idleness, which is the beginning of all evil” (Doc.4).
As well as that, there was a very bad harvest in 1621 which caused widespread distress and finally there was wide support for anti-Spanish foreign policy. This meant that money was already short and James had to accept this, but he was a very extravagant king and would struggle to come to terms with not being able to have everything he wanted. Stress would have been a big factor and tension would have been big between the king and Parliament. A main reason that James felt the royal prerogative was under threat in the 1621 Parliament is because of monopolies. Monopolists such as Sir Giles Mompesson and Sir Francis Mithcell were impeached for their corrupt practices in monopolies such as licensing alehouses where many of these alehouses were illegal gambling dens or partly brothels.
This makes the audience think that Mr Birling is wrong about everything else and he can’t be trusted. This is how Priestly shows and tells us that most of these middle and upper class people are wrong and have to change. Another thing Mr Birling says is: “Germans don’t want war.” This suggests that Mr Birling is completely wrong and
After arguing with him and him refusing to withdraw the dress from his face, Elizabeth becomes sad and disenheartened. She leaves him running with tears in her eyes. In the Ministers Black Veil, Reverend Hooper covers his face for a variety of reasons. The first, is that he is, metaphorically shielding himself from sin. It is his way of saying that he lives in a sinful world and
The result of this action by the Tsar meant that the people who used to think is was god on earth have now undermine him, this also meant that there was an increase in riots, murders and public property damage. The Tsar, possibly in embarrassment, allowed for the changes they wanted to be allows, it was known as the October Manifesto or the October Promises. However, these promises were never really kept, the voting system was rigged which meant that the poor people had no effect, and was
The author was especially displeased with the abuse of power and overall hypocrisy of the church. He uses historical events, such as the Seven Years War and the Lisbon earthquake as a base for the events that happen in the story. Looking deeper, however, the reader discovers a classic satire aimed at the hypocrisy of the time. Candide's philosophy is best stated when he says, “Observe that noses were made to wear spectacles; and so we have spectacles. Legs were visibly instituted to be breeched, and we have breeches.
The poem “London” describes Blake’s dislike of London and how he views it as the downfall of modern society; he continually repeats the word “Chartered” and sees the city as fake, regulated and unnatural. Wordsworth, on the other hand, expresses his feelings towards London in the form of a sonnet. This – along with his admiring language such as “Majesty” and “Splendour”- make it clear to see that he adores the city. The moods created in the two poems vary greatly, from dismal and hopeless in Blake’s, to proud and ecstatic in Wordsworth’s rendition. In the following essay I will explore in greater detail the emotions and romantic aspects of the poems, and the opinions of the writers and audiences.
