They all also believe they cannot be blamed for the death of Eva Smith and try to deny any contact with her. Arthur Birling is the main man in the family; he is the head of the house, Father to Sheila and Eric and Husband to Sybil. He is a well off business man and boasts about his advantages. “I’m talking as a hard headed practical man of business”. This is showing that he knows about his privileges and knows when to use them to try and get him and his family to get him out of trouble with the inspector.
Elizabeth is a very honourable person, however that all changes when she lies to the court. She has let herself down by doing this and hasn’t been completely true to herself. She knew she should tell the truth in court, but she still lied to save her husband. Hale is a very honourable person, however he has a moral uncertainty
“What is the most effective means of protest?” From the perspective of today, one can easily imagine that violence is the most effective means of protest. Some people consider violence the most effective means of protest because they believe that it destroys the issue immediately. Others believe persuasion is the most effective means of protest, believing it is the only means that introduces a true change of character. Although, I have learned that in life actions have consequences. I consider myself a conservative and I believe the most effective means of protest is non-violent direct action.
Huck and Montag stand for freedom and self-reliance because they search for what is right within themselves and not what the rest do. Captain Beatty contradicts the story because he himself is really well read but heads the destruction of books. Miss Watson does this by believing in the religious and ethical values that Twain criticizes in his
Creon cares about his son so much he doesn’t want Haemon to marry Antigone just because she broke the law. Creon says, “You will never marry this side of death.”(646) Creon cares mostly about his family and don’t Haemon to marry a women that did something bad. Creon is doing the right thing for his son so he can live a better life than marrying a woman that broke the law. Creon also says, “No son of mine shall web so vile a creature.”(486) Haemon tries so hard to convince her father to let him marry her but Creon is stopping him. He cares about her wife, Eurydice, as well because Creon wanted to suicide when he saw his son and wife died in scene 8.
Sonja is not satisfied with the dispassionate marriage she is having with Leon as she describes it as merely “going through the motion”. She also suspects Leon of having extramarital affair and once Leon confesses his “one night stand that happened twice” their marriage breaks. However, because Leon hardly tries to communicate with his wife about his inner feelings and thoughts, it is this rare courage of honesty and his latter efforts that save his marriage. Honesty also acts as a tool that penetrates their respective emotional walls that are set private to each other. After
He likes to believe he is right and enjoys the feeling of being superior in his theories and thoughts against those of other people. We see it a lot with his lies and deceits. He doesn’t ever give up on his lies even when people are skeptical because he wants to believe he is right and they are wrong. For example when he was at the Grangerfold household, he was almost caught forgetting his own name, but with his sharp wit he turns it around and asks for it to be spelled for him. He didn’t want to be noticed for lying and told he was wrong.
All of these reactions to Gawain’s sin are logical according to their point of view. The most appropriate reaction is that of the Green Knights, his reactioj wasn’t too mean, but it also wasn’t as forgiving as the courts. The court takes this sin too lightly while Gawain really reacts to it badly. Gawain should have just calmed down a little bit, and not have gotten too mad. The Green Knight takes the sin the best because of his mediocre response, not to harsh, and not too
Atticus considers her one of the bravest people he knows and he wanted Jem to see that about her. The composer has written it in a way that the responder has automatic dislike for the character, but still knows she’s a good person. In conclusion, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird has many elements of misjudgement, false facades, and bad first impressions and can relate strongly back to the theme of people aren’t what they seem to be. The saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover” is a good example of the ideology of this book, to give people a first impression, then only to have the responders understanding of that person let down because of the learnt development of that character In the
Knowing that he could have been less obstinate and changed his assessment of power would have prevented Creon's son and wife from dying the way they did. Although Antigone was also persistent in not changing her own viewpoints, this worked in her favor because she was stubborn for a better reason than Creon. She stood up for her family because she knew it was the right thing to do. Creon did not show that he cared about anything but his own appearance for the fear that he will be observed as weak, until it was too late. By comparing and contrasting the characters of Creon and Antigone, one can assume that a lesson to be learnt from reading this play is that one should do what they believe is right based on their values and not concentrate on the thoughts of those who aren't important to him or
