Some can’t help but wonder if it is indeed god’s “will that a child should suffer and its soul be dammed for a little blemish of the body” (Wyndham). But none of them see that “nobody, nobody, really knows what is the true image” (Wyndham). In V for Vendetta people are also killed for their physical appearances but also are denied every freedom that could be found in a normal society. “They take your parents, they take your brother from you, they take everything they can, accept your life” (McTeigue). Political activists are killed, anyone who attempts freedom or has an idea is killed or they “die defending [it]” (McTeigue).
Is this crime? Death?- she should have all the honor we can giver her!” Haemon is trying to tell his father that Antigone is innocent and that she committed no crime. It was a simple act of loyalty to her family. Even though King Creon set the law that polynieces should not be buried, due to his act of intrusion, Antigone didn’t want his soul to left here on earth, she wanted polynieces soul to have a safe trip to heaven. “In flood time you can see how some trees bend, and because they bend, even their twigs are safe.
That’s all Antigone was trying to show by disobeying Creon’s outrageous laws; that both boys are equal, both deserve an equal burial. While Antigone was there for the mourning and the burial of Eteocles, she wasn’t able to be there for Polyneices’ because he wasn’t allowed one. Although, it should have been allowed to have one for Polyneices. Creon is a man full of grudge who believes in having absolute power. When Antigone defies his power he sentences her to life.
Chillingsworth tells Hester that he bears no ill will against her because he was foolish for sending her alone, but that he will find the father at all costs, which concerns Hester very much because she loves Dimmesdale. She argues with Chillingsworth that it is unjust for him to punish just one and not both but he won’t have it. Chillingsworth is bent solely on Dimmesdale and seeking revenge against the man who took his wife. The fact that even Hester argues for Dimmesdale’s life through all he made her go through alone makes the reader have the highest respect for Hester because of her
According to few Hellenes, people who had the evil or had injured the empire by private actions have no nobler cause in terms of their deed to fight for the country. They were dishonored because of their bad fame. Thucydides persuaded by point out that all the citizens knew the advantages of a brave defense. On the battlefield, they became glorified because of their fearless spirit and ran away from the word of dishonor. The speaker also interpreted the word of dishonor by comparing the contribution which the dead made and the evil they did.
He is baffled by Mr. Chiu’s remarks, “If only I could kill all the bastards,” and thinks to himself how “ugly” his professor looks. (Jin 185) This is a clear sign that all the morals and principals are now gone in the character. Having refused on principle to sign a false confession, he has been consumed by sickness and negativity that he has no qualms about what he just did, but is still aware of what is going to happen. This is his way of punishing the province and the police that falsely accused him of sabotage, but ironically ended up creating a bigger demon that anyone could have
The public would never question his judgment knowing the power that he has and the consequences that follow breaking this law, but not Antigone. Antigone changed the public opinion on the law without intending to do so. “… Everyone will tell you only what you like to hear.

They are non-Christian, non-Jewish, and especially non-negro. To any of those who oppose this or go against this they would be severely beaten or lynched.

I warn you to avoid any contact with this ruthless and insensible Klan. No matter who you are, they will attack.
He was not a monster but victim. He only killed because the world caused him to. No single living being wants to be born into the world alone and left to die alone. “If you had seen the man who thus capitulated for his safety, your surprise would have been boundless. His limbs were nearly frozen, and his body dreadfully emaciated by fatigue and suffering.
There were multiple reasons for why the declaration of independence was written. Some of the reasons were as follows: the king is destructive, tyrannical, and he holds no concern for the welfare of his people. Here’s the proof. Jefferson once said, “He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.” This proves that he is destructive.
