Jurors #3 and #10 are the most hostile of the jurors. They believe deep down that this boy killed his father. They believe that everything they heard in the courtroom holds true and they don’t really want to see this kid live any longer. Juror #8 still had reasonable doubt about the murder. He doesn’t want to vote guilty until he has enough evidence that this boy did indeed kill his father.
They seem to be indifferent to the fact that they have killed someone because assassination merely becomes their ‘job.’ In a similar manner, Generals Die in Bed by Charles Yale Harrison, is inclusive of the same insensitiveness and indifference towards the death and murdering of people. The narrator says, “I lunge forward aiming at his stomach. It is a lightening, instinctive move…I become insane…I want to strike again and again.”(Harrison, 26-27) Since this was an “instinctive” move, he didn’t even think over the fact that he is taking someone’s life nor have any humane feelings which prove that he has become inhumane towards a person’s life. In addition, a humane individual would experience feelings of regret and guilt, but instead he has the urge to stab him continuously. He becomes one of the negative byproducts of the war because it causes him to become “insane” and inconsiderate towards the sentimental values associated with death.
When Olive saw Kevin back in town, she invited herself into the passenger seat of his car where she sensed something was wrong. Olive may not have known plans of committing suicide were going through Kevin’s head, but she could sense something was not right. Kevin did not want her there; he wanted to be alone with his inner blankness and loaded rifle. Kevin thoroughly planned how he would kill himself, even where it would take place. He was content with being numb and was glad he felt nothing when he watched a man bonding with his son; he knew he was ready for death.
George knows that the other men will probably be more cruel to Lennie, and George's quicker methods are the only alternative. 46. Slim was the only man on the ranch who understood Lennie and George's bond. The other men are too lonely and isolated to understand a such bond. They couldn't percieve why George would be sad after he told them he killed Lennie in self
Therefore, the storyline’s progression supports Karl’s ability to grow and learn as a human being. Even as a man with a disability, he knows the difference between good and evil. In a twisted way, Karl redeemed himself from killing his mother, because there was no justice to killing her; meaning she was innocent. With Doyle, Karl killed a man for being abusive, a terrible role model, and for having an issue with people who are different. Compare to when he was 12, Karl knew what he was doing when he killed Doyle, he did not flee the scene of the crime because we know he called the police on
When Julian slowly found out about Frank’s crimes, he thinks that Frank should not be arrested because he is the war hero. Therefore, he abuses his power by putting family loyalty comes before justice and duty. David is also given permission by Wes to get the gun to shoot a coyote but instead he took his power of having a gun for granted and accidentally shot a magpie who was in no
The opportunity to beat fate was too good to pass up. It did not help that his wife felt the same way as well. She facilitated the murder and assured her husband that it was what needed to be done. After Macbeth killed the king, he found himself no longer a true and loyal soldier, on the inside that is. He made sure to put on a façade which would lead the King’s men to believe he was still a respectful and loyal man.
Notwithstanding, he already knew he was fighting a war with no gun, and had "after losing the case, which he surely should have won, Maycomb still chose to put him down quoting, “he's turned out a nigger-lover we'll never be able to walk the streets of Maycomb again. He's ruinin' the family, that's what he's doin’,” (96). Even after dealing with nothing but setbacks, Atticus continued to manage the aggregation having enough courage to fight the case with force, persevering until what really happened is said. An alternate adventure of Atticus' courage is when the lynch mob argument occurred. When he was approached by a gang that included Mr. Cunningham.
This relates to doctors who demand a defined and specific diagnosis required for euthanasia. Lennie’s mental disorder is his fatal flaw. He is not a patient with terminal cancer, he is a patient with a deadly contagion with one confirmed death; Curley’s Wife. George is quarantining this disease when he kills George, protecting society and any future victims of Lennie’s innocent wrath. This form of euthanasia is not only an act of mercy towards Lennie, but towards any other potential victims.
If he was proud of it, he’da told us’” (Page 130). This is a coming of age moment for Jem because he understands that Atticus does not want people to know that he has the deadest shot in Maycomb, and he respects his privacy. I’ve experienced a similar coming of age moment like Jem’s. When my friend tells me a secret, she trusts me to respect her privacy and not tell others about it. My coming of age moment was similar to Jem’s coming of age moment, because we both learned that people don’t let everyone know everything about them because they want their
