Thus, to kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence. Throughout the book, a number of characters (Jem, Tom Robinson, Dill, Boo Radley, Mr. Raymond) can be identified as mockingbirds—innocents who have been injured or destroyed through contact with evil. This connection between the novel’s title and its main theme is made explicit several times in the novel: after Tom Robinson is shot, Mr. Underwood compares his death to “the senseless slaughter of songbirds,” and at the end of the book Scout thinks that hurting Boo Radley would be like “shootin’ a mockingbird.” My second source relates to the use of Boo Radley as a symbol because it shows how Jaden Smith’s outlook towards fame changed from when he was a child to now as a teenager. This relates to the symbol because as the novel progresses, the children’s changing attitude toward Boo Radley is an important measurement of their development from innocence toward a grown-up moral perspective. At the beginning of the book, Boo is merely a
“Have I done well or ill?” This is what Steinbeck says will be the question looking back at the end of our lives. In the telling of the story of the Trask family, the author goes through the generations showing the patterns of their similar struggles. Cyrus Trask, the patriarch of the Trask family and father of Adam and Charles, favors Adam over Charles, which drives Charles into a deep rage filled jealousy and he tries to kill Adam, like Cain and Abel. Adam then relieves the story of Cain and Abel with his own two sons Aron and Cal, favoring Aron over Cal. The struggle between good and evil is the one recurring narrative of human history.

Before Dimmesdale kills himself, he admits his sin to the whole town. Also, Dimmesdale receives treatment from Hester’s husband, Chillingworth, who knows their secret, and is trying to get revenge on them both. Chillingworth ends up realizing that he is going insane with trying to get revenge and believes that he has sinned more than both of them. The novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses satire to poke fun of the Puritan attitude toward sinning and the punishments of sinning. The reader learns from the text that the Puritan religion looked down on the idea of sin and punishes sinners harshly.
Richard at the beginning of the play reveals his plot to kill his brother Clarence in order to eliminate successors to the throne. Act 1 Shakespeare’s use of pun in the line ‘Brother, farewell,’ is said by the Duke of Gloucester with such earnestness that it is interpreted as a simple departure by George, however, there is an underlying message of ‘rest in peace Clarence’ which is later exposed in Richard’s aside. In Act 5, after the brutal death of Richard, pondering how England has remained under a time of tyranny and betrayal, with the use of alliteration, Richmond says as a part of his ending speech “brother blindly shed the brother’s blood”. This, while emphasising the greed of Richard where he has lost all morality and killed his biological brother in order to gain power, further emphasises Shakespeare’s indirect intention to bring forward the theme of karma. It also targets Elizabethan audience obliquely as it displays Shakespeare as an authentic man who believes in fate.

Her Essay, entitled 'Did Richard III Really kill the Princes in the Tower?' pinpoints Buckingham as her most plausible suspect. Eckford writes that "all along he entertained ambitions of taking the throne for himself. What better way than to support Richard in his claim for the throne, then discredit him by murdering the Princes and claiming Richard had done it" (Eckford, 2000) In accusing Buckingham it is critical to look at Buckingham's desertion of Richard III shortly after the young Princes were last publically seen within the Tower. It is an act that will be tirelessly debated by historians, some saying he deserted in disgust at the offence Richard III committed against the usurped King Edward V and his younger brother Richard, others such a Sir Clements Markham would

Well for one the firing squad was not the only way of execution threw out our nation’s history. Hanging, hanging was first passed as a legal substitute in 1735 to 1924, and
