It was the fact that the whites believed that they had this power over the African Americans and that it was there right in taking it and abusing their power. Richard gets a job at an optical shop in Jackson and right away two of his white co-workers yell crude words and try in any way to intimidate him. At one point they almost threaten to kill him and frightens Richard to quit the job knowing that he no longer would be safe there.

They are called “industrial statesmen” for the great economic power they helped America become. At the same time, they are regarded as “robber barons” because they built their great wealth by abusing the system, abusing employees, and destroying their competitors to satisfy their own needs.

The play “Our Man in Madras” by Gert Hofmann has been described by many critics as being a dark comedy for it depicts the corporate industry in a negative light. What is interesting of the play and I find is very successful in portraying this vile side of the corporate world, is Hofmann’s inventive peak feature that the play only has one character we see most of - Mr. Jim Sieg. We are introduced to a Jim who is on the phone speaking to an employee by the name of Bob whom he is about to terminate his contract of employment, based on his under-achieving sales record when “compared with what our men in Australia and Europe are accomplishing, your figures still fall pretty short” (225) Jim says to Bob. The fact that a situation of this kind is discussed so telephonically instead of setting up a meeting with Bob, to disuse face to face, where and why he is failing to produce the desired sales the company is seeking is indication enough that the corporate industry has businessmen who have no time and courtesy to follow procedures and set protocols. The conversation between Mr. Sieg and Bob is staged in such a way that we never hear Bob speak directly, all of Bob’s words - his sufferings “You’ve what?

Rockefeller used questionable ways/practices to become the man he was. J.P. Morgan used unethical practices to become the Robber Baron that he was. “In 1901 J.P. Morgan’s U.S. Steel was the first billion-dollar company in the world with an authorized capitalization of $1.2 billion.

Antigone, an outstanding play written by “Sophocles”, in this play a quote is mentioned by a blind prophet that goes by the name of Tiresias. He goes on to say in pages 111 to 112 “Think: All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil: The only Crime is pride.” Right from the beginning he wants the reader to think. That if a man has a lot or too much pride; it can be their only true crime. For example, recently a story has come out about a NBC news reporter. Who eligibly said his helicopter was shot down in the Iraq war.

The major issue is the fact that he rapes Nicole: But when Larry is telling Francis “he’s tired” and “he wants to go” this shows that something mysterious is going on in Larry’s mind but Francis listens to Larry because he is a hero and everybody listens to Larry
Being “by birth a Genovese,” and belonging to “one of the most distinguished [families] of that republic”, coupled with his conceived omnipotence after creating life, Frankenstein believes he can predict other’s motives and solve problems single-handedly, betraying an excess of pride (14). For instance, Victor fails to register his own advice that he relates to Captain Walton, which expresses that “if the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and… destroy your taste for… simple pleasures… then that study is certainly unlawful… [and] not befitting [of] the human mind”(56). Instead, this character continues with his experiments, believing that adhering to this rule would cease human progress, and thus destroy his vision. As well, he neglects the guidance of his own family. When Victor is thirteen, he chances to find a volume of the works of a famous natural philosopher.
