These perspectives are often put into three categories: the question of “Was it truly Necessary?”, and its counter-argument, along with demolition and effects. The annihilation left by the second atomic bomb dropped, Fat Boy, over Nagasaki made for a quicker decision by Japan to pull
For example, the judges had an “expression of firmness-of immovable resolution-of stern contempt of torture” ( Poe 858). They plan to use fear as an object to torture the narrator. The narrator’s fear grows more and more as he loses his senses. The narrator saw that “ the decrees of what to me was fate, were still issuing from those lips” (Poe 858). The judges made it seem obvious that the narrator’s life was coming to an end.
A very good example of black humor can be found at the very beginning of the story itself: Montresor’s had "vowed revenge" against Fortunato, but he decided to mask his real feelings by outwardly appearing friendly towards him. "I continued as was my wont, to smile in his face." This grim irony of situation results in harsh 'black humor' with Montresor remarking sarcastically, this helps us have a more clear understanding of the story as well of making it more interesting, as, even though we have been told from the beginning that he’s going to kill Fortunato, there is a constant feeling of mystery and doubt that
Unlike their wives, Oedipus and Job need to assert themselves as stoic men in an attempt to reconcile their loses. Having been stripped of everything, Job and Oedipus use their suffering to try and assert themselves as courageous men. Oedipus accepts and welcomes his suffering. He even increases his suffering by “raking black night across [his] eyes” insisting that “this punishment...is just” (Sophocles 72,73). Compared to his wife’s narrow action, Oedipus seems strong enduring the tragedy and humiliation in his life.
03 Write about the ways Browning tells the story in ‘The Laboratory’? In the poem ‘The Laboratory’, Robert Browning adopts various methods with he uses to tell a story. The poem describes a jealous Marquise waiting for a poison to be concocted in a laboratory, obsessively intent on getting revenge on the woman who stole her love. ‘The laboratory’ is written as a dramatic monologue in first person by an erratic and vengeful Marquise. Browning uses quatrains with rhyming couplets throughout the poem, giving a calm and controlled feel with contrast dramatically with the dark, murderous theme of the poem and the erratic thoughts of the Marquise.
"The sound of fluttering filled the air And the relentless chattering of Lucifers' tongues. I hide behind my guide, my senses unable to bare The pain these men were dealt, even me it stung Virgil told me these are the men who have used Their bodies to defile the young They pay their debts in Hell, forever abused" People today are generally considered, for better or worse, desensitized due to a near constant stream of media coverage of crime and death in the world. Yet, there is always an uproar and cry for justice to be served in the case of sex crimes. There is something particularly heinous about them in the public’s opinion. In Dante’s Inferno, an epic poem about Dante’s journey into the depths of Hell, he comes across many different evils that we experience in everyday life on Earth.
The cop was told by the Neo-Marx’s to be extremely racist during the interviewed documentation. Boxer Santeros asks the cop what he see when he is protecting the city. He replies, “To be honest, we are just looking out for the niggers”, he leans in to whisper and continue, “They are everywhere”. This action shocks Boxer and he is unsure as to what he should say in return to such vulgar language. The cop laughs it off and says it’s a joke but you can plainly see on Boxers face it was not so funny to
Perry had some mental problems throughout the book but he was still hanged without a hundred percent check that he might not have full consciousness of what he did. After reading his Interview I got to know that he wanted to write the “true account” of a murder case. Truman Capote wanted to show both sides of the murder case. This is also connected to his thesis which is that the capital punishment is unjust. Presented by the unfair trial to be hanged and the actual event of hanging as being cold, distant and heartless.
Othello, himself states “that thou be’st a devil, I cannot kill thee.” He then stabs Iago but only wounds him, showing that he thinks that Iago is the devil. In Elizabethan society he could be labeled a demon, or influenced by the devil if not the devil himself. Even if he is only a sociopath, there are many similarities between sociopaths and devilish doings. Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge ( 1772-1834)saw Iago’s worst side and writes “a being next to the devil, only not quite the devil” He calls Iago’s behavior “motiveless malignity”. A trait that stands out is Iago’s ability to think out and plot what seemingly will be a perfect plan.
Owen sympathizes with the vain young men who have no idea of the horrors of war, who are 'seduced' by others (Jessie Pope) and the recruiting posters. The detail in Owen's poetry puts forward his scenes horrifically and memorably. His poems are suffused with the horror of battle. Many of Owen's poems bring across disturbing themes and images, which stay in the mind long after readers have read them. His aim is not poetry, but to describe the full horrors of war.
