“That was Simon’ ‘You said that before’ ‘Piggy’ ‘Uh?’ ‘That was murder” (Golding 144). The boys become obsessed with fear that pushes them to kill Simon. This shows how cowardly the boys really are. There is evil inside everyone, given at any situation and time. Anyone can commit to terrible
The monster acts with extreme selfishness and from that comes unethical behaviour and actions. After not getting what he wanted, he promises to destroy Victor’s life and threatens him, by saying “I go; but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding-night" (137). The monster decides to unrightfully take revenge on Victor. The monster is so self-centred that it is incapable of acting ethical, and that its actions are solely to achieve its horrific goal. The above quote also ties in with one of the themes of the book, which is monstrosity.
His school was names Metaphysico-theologo-cosmolo-nigology, and it prods at Pangloss’s verbal feats and suggests how stupid Voltaire belives such idle thinkers to be. 2. The army is full of menacing and cruel men, who causes pain and suffering. Very influential members of the nobility start wars, but common soldiers reap the consequences. No side of the conflict is better than the other, and they both engage in rape, murder, and destruction to each other.
But the Noble wailed with anger, that his speech became scrabbled and uncertain. His face lit with redness, his veins ruptured through his skin, threatening to get rid of them and destroy their lives. Fortunato and Montresor were staggered by his tone and words but Montresor came up with a demented plan that would make the Noble think twice of his own life. "How dare he speak in such tone, we've worked for him so long!" furiously said Fortunato.
Influential emotions within society are what set man apart from other animals; yet, allowing these emotions to attain control over one's self, morphs humans into becoming animalistic. Consequently, emotions can achieve full destruction of one's life; unfortunately, this usually occurs after an attempt to achieve something greater, by surpassing certain boundaries that keep these emotions at bay. In the play The Tragedy of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare conveys how emotions can both define and destroy an individual through the character Macbeth. With Macbeth's changing diction and mannerisms, Shakespeare elaborates on the qualities of love, violence, and guilt, which have the ability to consume a human's soul; thus, these emotions
They fight with all of their might, once more. Henry feels different this time. He feels that the monster of war will come through the gray smoke and swallow him. After a few men around him flee, the young soldier’s own fear gets the best of him. He drops his weapon and runs from the battle.
Firstly, Lord Capulet is the main reason for an unhappy ending because he takes violent actions as he is aggressive, rude and lacks parental skills. To begin, Lord Capulet wants to murder Montagues on sight. As proof, Lord Capulet is aggressive from the start, “What noise is this? Give me my longsword [...]/ My sword, I say! Old Montague is come And flourishes his blade
Tybalt is very over zealous and too intolerant so he killed Mercutio. Since Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo killed Tybalt which resulted in his banishment from
This repetition of destruction shows that the creature is no longer of sound mind. The creature being alone for so long and unwanted for so long has made him become hateful to everything. The tone then makes another shift to self pity, as the creature becomes disgusted by himself. He goes back to believing he is human for just a few lines, asking the rhetorical question: “should [he] feel kindness toward [his] enemies?” Then the final shift to vengeance takes place. The creature decides “No” he will not “feel kindness toward [his] enemies,” but instead, declares everlasting war against the species,” the species being mankind and specifically his creator.
The wretch flees the scene only to feel “rage and revenge” (Shelley 137) amidst his educators. Rejection from yet another group torments the heart of the wretch, supporting the obvious views of Shelley’s expressed theme. The wretch does not surrender just yet. His firing devotion to fulfill his mind and heart with empathy drives the monster to set out on a journey towards Victor’s native town in hopes to secure his blessings. It was when he is wounded in flesh and bone after saving a young girl from destruction when the monster “vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind” (Shelley 143).
