Although he did kill a few people in the story, he never really wanted to. When he defeated Bonzo and Stilson, he did it so that he would not just win that fight, he’d win all of the fights that they would ever have. He never meant to kill anyone. When he found out that he killed all the buggers he started crying. The IF lied to him and told him that it was just a game when it was not.

Are we going to throw it all away? I know this will never happen again, will it, Mr. Van Daan?" (Goodrich and Hacket 942). Although it is arguable that Mr. Frank should have considered being more aggressive, his peaceful manner was the best method to solving problems. Mr. Frank was a mesmerizing speaker, and everyone listened and appreciated every word he said.
In the beginning Wes was seen as a weak man that was nothing but loyal to his family. Wes took over the role of Sheriff after his old man out of loyalty to his father; Wes gave up his dream of becoming a lawyer just so that he could make his father happy and live up to his father’s expectations. “My father set aside his fledgling law practice and took the badge my grandfather offered. It would never occur to my father to refuse.” – David. Deep down Wes always knew the truth about Frank’s crimes, “And my father knew he was guilty”.
This was, in my opinion, the event that officially qualifies him as a traitor; the fact that he disobeyed the government whenever he pleased. In conclusion, Nathaniel Bacon was a traitor. He purposely disobeyed the laws, did what ever he pleased because he knew there would be no repercussions, and he rallied up his own mini rebel army. He had good reasoning for things that he did but he did not think things though very well and he was very physical about problems. This is historically significant because he may have been the only one who would have fought against the government so diligently.
There is no apparent reason as to why he would want to kill a man who had no previous entanglements or disagreements with. So, Travis had to do whatever he could to help Iris get back to her family. One of the biggest reasons why Travis is considered a hero is because he saved child prostitute, Iris, when he could have just lived the rest of his life without even acknowledging her existence. He decided to help turn her life around and return her to her family, and did not ask for anything in return for his troubles. That is the basic structure for any hero in any piece of fiction.
However, what they didn’t know is that Albert would later generalize his fear towards white and fluffy things such as a Santa Claus mask. Watson had no problem by doing this experiment because there were no ethical rules or guidelines in 1920. Nonetheless, if they were to realise this experiment nowadays, not only would they be criticised by their unmoral behaviour, but they would also lose their right to perform any types of experiments, for this experiment breaks many ethical rules. To start with, no parental consent was made and no one knew what they were doing to the poor little baby. Also, Albert didn’t have any chance of withdrawal.
Hamlet kills Polonius behind the tapestry because he suspects that it might be Claudius, but when he unveils the body and discovers that it is Polonius, he shows no sign of guilt at all. He acts like he is “convinced that he is the complete master of an obviously unhealthy situation” (Prosser Pg. 125). A person who wants nothing more but justice for the death of a loved one would feel bad for killing an innocent person during the process, but that is not the case with Hamlet. He shows no sign of guilt or remorse towards the death of Polonius, because he is clearly past the point of justice and is seeking revenge.
If fate indeed determined destiny then what was to happen would have happened and Oedipus could have done nothing to prevent it, the play would be boring and Sophocles no more than a simple play write. From the eyes of the reader Oedipus could be deemed reckless and careless. On the other hand, from Oedipus’ viewpoint he was doing the right thing all along. He left who he believed to be his parents, killed a group of who he assumed were bandits and started an inquiry into what he believed would save his city and avenge a fallen king; These are astonishingly human actions, with no grounds for being judged as “tragic flaws” in any sense of the term. What Oedipus’ true flaw was is not a single characteristic but a coupling of intense pride and a vicious temperament.
Because fear and pain does not play a role on this utopian society, let alone death, the term “Release” was created to veil the true meaning of death. When Jonas found out the true meaning of Release through watching his father release a baby, he felt so angry and confused that his own father killed a baby with his own hands. However, the Giver calmed him and explained to him: “Listen to me, Jonas. They can’t help it. They know nothing….
