Disobeying authority in the context of the law mostly has very serious consequences. An example of this is Act 3 scene 1 in which Romeo kills Tybalt in order to avenge Mercutios death. Although Romeos thirst for revenge was satisfied the consequences were dire.
Society - people in general living together in organized communities, with laws and traditions controlling the way that they behave towards one another The establishment - the most important and powerful people in a society, who are often thought of as being conservative and wanting to preserve their own power and influence The spiral of brutality – cruel or violent behaviour or actions that continuously become worse 8. The final engraving seeks to portray in a macabre and gruesome way the “reward of cruelty” in the form of Nero’s lifeless body being subjected to public dissection and being denied burial in the hope that it could act as a deterrent to any other would be criminals. A tattoo on the body’s arm identifies Tom Nero as the criminal, the rope around Nero’s neck shows his method of execution as punishment for his criminal act of murder and his face appears contorted in agony portraying pain and suffering caused by asphyxiation from hanging. 9.

An Analysis of “Shooting an Elephant” The basic core of imperialism is "colony". In the 19th century, many of European countries were working really hard on colonizing as many other weaker countries as they could.
