Then when she gave birth to her twins sons, she acted as if she did not want them and I believe that Cathy was selfish was because she shot her husband in the shoulder. Also Faye left all of her earnings and possessions, including the brothel to Cathy in her will. So in order to take advantage of Faye Cathy poisoned her until she died. I do not think this was right of Cathy because Faye truly seemed to care about her. If I had the opportunity to meet Catherine Amesbury or Cathy Ames I would not take it.
His virtue is compassion because he loved his parent too much so he ran away from them. He didn’t want to kill his father and marry his mother but little did he know he was adopted so him running a away cause his down fall because he ended up killing his actual father and marrying his mother and having kids with her. If Aristotle’s definition could be expanded to where virtue was included then “Oedipus” would be considered a tragedy. If you put virtue into there then the hero wouldn’t have to have a tragic flaw he could have a virtue which is like compassion or sadness because a flaw is like pride or something along those lines. If virtue was included then Finding Nemo would fit his criteria.
Ted Lavender was shot in his head on his way back from peeing. Lieutenant cross blamed himself because he was fantasizing about the girl instead of worrying about the safety of his men. I think this incident brought Jimmy the realization that”he loved Martha more then he loved his men” and realized she did not love him. Jimmy burnt her pictures and letters and decided to change the way he was running things. It took the death of one of the Lieutenants men for him to re-examine the importance of his love for Martha and realize he wasn’t focusing on what should have been his first priority the war and safety of his
When someone has committed to spend their life with another person, they have two people to care for, themselves and their partner. Even though I believe marriage is a beautiful experience, it can make one forget about themselves and their life aside from their wife or husband. I know firsthand, that this can have drastic consequences. A few years ago my dad was diagnosed with diabetes and instead of treating it as recommended; he ignored the issue until it significantly affected his family’s life and himself. Because my dad was too busy raising and caring for his own family, he did not give himself enough attention and as an effect to his diabetes, he became extremely violent, which almost caused my parents to divorce.
I believe everybody needs that one person in their life that they share a romantic intimacy with, the old man lost his and who knows if that was the reason he attempted suicide. But just because the old man was lonely and old doesn’t justify what the young waiter was saying. “A Haunted House” by Virginia Woolf was also confusing and it
His previous wife’s actions leave him no choice but to kill her. But as he is telling the agent about his wife’s death he appears nervous and tense. The use of caesura suggests that he is unsure of what to say next. He could not understand of his wife’s love for natural, simple things and her kindness she displays towards others he treated it with disdain. He could not gain command over his wife’s appreciation towards others that he thought it
This pathos describes how Lincoln would care for his people and how he would put the task of helping the people suffering from the war first, serving as a strong pathos since it is not only emotionally affecting his people, but also encouraging and giving them hope. The war destroyed millions of families. Lincoln in the first place gave his attention on healing the people and their families, instead of describing how beautiful the future would be and giving unrealistic assumptions This pathos and ethos made people, no matter the North or the South, to feel that they are in unity. Both sides were suffering the same war and urged to end it, while they shared a same religion. God plays an important role to connect the people together, which enhances Lincoln’s credibility in his speech besides his position as a president and occasion of this speech.
They also have different attitudes toward borrowing money. Torvald had an illness and was on the edge of death but being the way that he is Nora turns to Krogstad for help. Turning to someone else without approval by her husband is strictly forbidden. This is the start of Nora’s independence, the sacrifice she is willing to take knowing that borrowing money is forbidden. She starts the process to help her husband get better.
She imagines his death and understands why he committed suicide. He was sensible and after his experience in war did not accept anymore the superficiality of the world around him. He, committing suicide, has preserved his dignity going against corruption. He did not accept other people’s values and therefore his death is a form of rebellion, a mean of communication. He felt the impossibility to live without conforming to conventions and this is his
He is really upset about his mother and his uncle, but also his father dying. His way of coping with his thoughts about them is to act suicidal, “His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter!” (I ii 132). Even though he doesn’t want to live anymore and is thinking about suicide he thinks about it and realizes that he can’t kill himself because it is a sin. No matter how depressed and how much he doesn’t want to live, he still considers whether it is a good thing or bad thing to do. Aside from Hamlet’s depression, he shows that he is very determined and brave.
