Creon is sorry for what he was done, he repents, but it is already too late. He only finds true justice when everything he cared for was gone.

Moral Ambiguous Characters Throughout Oscar Wilde’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the moral ambiguity of the central character, Dorian Gray, becomes more and more distinct. The story starts with Dorian being venerated by the artist Basil Hallward, and throughout the story the reader learns of Gray’s several wrong doings. Meeting Lord Henry almost straight away negatively influenced Dorian. He had started out blameless and innocent, but by the conclusion had been the cause of numerous deaths, all because of his selfish wish to stay beautiful forever. “His actions show a character who insists the soul is real, but loves the gaping chasm between the beauty of his body and the corruption of his soul” [ (Wilde 105-123) ].
Because prejudice builds up as time goes on, it can be magnified if the situation is not clarified immediately. When Elizabeth and Mr. Wickham talk about Mr. Darcy, Mr. Wickham lies that "the world is blinded by his (Mr. Darcy's) fortune and consequences, or frightened by his high and imposing manners, and sees him only as he chooses to be seen" (Austen 59). Mr. Wickham is certainly an antagonist in this story, but he
Montag grows increasingly dissatisfied with his life and starts to wonder if perhaps books aren’t so bad. He relies on an old ex-professor named Faber that agrees to work with Montag against the government. Faber says at one point, “Those who don’t build, burn.” What Faber is saying is similar to an old saying- "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." This basically means that people who aren't willing to help or contribute to a group or a society are the ones more likely to make it worse or bring it down, which is what the whole society is doing, for instance the many superficial relationships in the novel, and other real life examples. The novel has numerous examples of superficial relationships, which goes along with what Faber said.
Although his actions are very insane, they can be seen as rational to reader considering hedonism. Devotion to pleasure, hedonism, makes Dorian be deceitful about his true self by deflecting the attention of the public from the mad man to the beautiful and intelligent gentlemen. Dorian is, young, sensitive, and emotional, meaning that he is susceptible to manipulation. Lord Henry takes advantage of that opportunity and gives Dorian the yellow book; this book opens up the world of hedonism and aestheticism which eventually turns his young life into an eternal oblivion of misery. Dorian develops a fear of aging so he tries to live his life as if it was his last day on earth.
These problems progressively mounted so high that they obscured Lloyd George's successes and toppled him from power, ultimately helping the Conservatives engineer his downfall. This essay will assess both internal factors, such as problems as home, centred on unemployment, coupled with external factors, including the Chanak Crisis. It will be argued that the Conservatives reaped power as a result of the combined internal and external problems, all of which amounted to a loss of confidence at home, and thereby created negative public perceptions of the Liberals. Lloyd George's post as Prime Minister was in a way doomed from the beginning. He came to power at the head of a coalition party making enemies along the way.
Victor disliked death and suffering in life because he had lost his mother and it had been too big of a shock for Victor to handle. Because of this, Victor was fascinated with the chance of being able to bring his mother back, and to end all suffering. Victor’s mind grew with ambition because he knew that he had the knowledge and the power to do so. Eventually, Victor’s mind had started to take over. It is evident when he states, “Every night I was oppressed by a slow fever, and I became nervous to a most painful degree; the fall of a leaf startled me, and I shunned my fellow creatures as if I had been quality of a crime” (Frankenstein 34).
He feels oppressed which leads to his cruel decision to mock Joy. This decision stemmed from his confined state, physically constricted by not only the city under siege, but also the Shen family grounds that he inherited after his father’s death. Not only is Chia Kang restricted to these physical features, his loyalty to his mother restricts his free will and power, which forebodes irrational judgment, as restrained creatures often lash out due to a deteriorating mental state. Chia Kang’s mother has a very high influence of him, even domination over him, and this is shown to the reader through
As mentioned above, Willy reflects Biffs’ failure in business as a reflection of his own dreams of succeeding although he only succeeded for a short while in his life. Also, the affair that Willy was in might have affected Biff and made him unable to keep a job. Willy has such insecurities with betrayal and himself that not only does he believe his family betrays him but also people on the outside too. His boss, for example, just because his boss fired him, Willy takes it as a form of betrayal even though he tells him, “there’s no room for betrayal in the business
There are many instances, in which the lives of people are affected by the decisions and actions taken on by others. The movie displays one of these approaches when Mr. Hundert exhibits academic dishonesty and removes a student from the Mr. Julius Caesar Competition based on what he’d thought was the better choice. Having a previous family member win the Competition, the pressure for Martin’s success was substantial. Therefore when he’d lost his position, many consequential events had resulted. Firstly, Mr. Hunderts decision to remove Martin in the standings causes Martins personal integrity to scar, leaving him in a state of self-loathing and shame.
