If he had an impartial jury, he would have been a free man. However, none of the jurors believed that Tom was telling the truth. They were raised to hate all black people. White people have been hurting and killing black people for centuries because of hatred. Therefore, the black community in Maycomb was crippled with fear.
In disguises, these men show us a comedic advice of mistaken and disguised identity to fool Baptista. Act two In this act Petruchio meets Kate and they banter back and forth him with sweet words and hers with harsh mean words and she isn’t used to him talking kindly to her so she hit him but he says he will hit her if she does it again. Here Petruchio and Kate are bantering back and forth. The comedic device used in this scene is Petruchio who is clever with his witty language to try to woo Kate into liking him. Act three In this act Kate is at the alter waiting to get married when Petruchio shows up late wearing shabby clothes and riding a broken down old horse that was sick.
The women are frustrated that their men are not being attentive to their needs, and the men are frustrated that the women are not meeting their sexual needs. This is a comical element to the drama, however it does prove once again that men and women did not have the same value. To best demonstrate this Lysistrata voices her frustration by saying, “And as for lovers, there’s not even a ghost of one left. Since the Milesians revolted from us…” [470]. She then says that she has a plan to end the war, withhold sex from the men, “…if we are to force our men to make peace, we must do without.” [470].
ctions, even ifnot purposely. This shows that, in the end, Friar Lawrence is merely ahypocrite offering his distorted option.One of the places that Friar Lawrence offers hypocritical advice iswhen Romeo consults with him on how he wants to marry Juliet. When Romeofirst goes to Friar Lawrence, excitedly telling him about his new love, Juliet,Friar Lawrence is outraged, telling Romeo that he, like most young men, isnot really in love, but simply lusts for a new woman so quickly after he wasdying for his last. He says that Romeo is being too hasty and unwise inmarrying Juliet, and that he will eventually move on to someone else. Butdespite his own advice, the Friar marries the couple.
Blacks were sacked to make way for returning white soldiers who wanted work. When the Blacks returned home they were not well treated despite having fought for their country, Black soldiers travelled to Europe and saw how the French treated them with more respect than White Americans. The Great War created job opportunities as the factories expanded to make war materials. ♦ There were race riots in 25 American cities in 1919 as returning Black and White soldiers clashed. ♦ White soldiers hated the Blacks who had moved into their neighbourhood.
Also, ‘The Black Panthers’ were a very violent group and saw King’s campaign as time consuming and feared it being forgotten in the process. The group called for a revolutionary war against authority, but it never happened and there are many conspiracy theories as to why the group ended. King was later assassinated at his hotel, showing that his race was still not equal, and some people still looked down on African Americans and didn’t like the change. Although all of these activists had the same idea and values, they had very different ideas of how to achieve their ideal society. Doctor King, Malcolm X, and the Black Panthers all contributed to the major changes of society’s attitudes towards the African American people by targeting very different audiences in society.
When Tom was accused of rape, this was the most racist point in the book to me. The people of Maycomb automatically labeled him as guilty. If I were in his position I would have wanted to fight back. Atticus Finch, a local lawyer and one of the main characters, is appointed as Tom’s lawyer. He is almost completely shunned from the town because he is trying to help a black man accused of rape.
As shown in Mr. Shaw’s short story, women are objectified as an object one is willing to risk his or her own well-being to enjoy. ”You’ll break your neck.” This quote seems to make an object out of the lady they are discussing in their conversation. The husband is looking around and has his eyes fixed on a lady who was passing by as they are crossing the street. This shows that Frances is jealous at her husband for looking at other female, and at the same time it also shows that her husband, Michael, is primarily focused his attention at the ladies around him. His blatant disregard of his own life when it comes to lady watching further demonstrates that he will do whatever it takes to look or enjoy the sight of other women.
For example Brabantio says to Othello “You’re something to fear, not to love. It’s obvious to everyone that you’ve tricked her, drugged her, or kidnapped her… Arrest this man as a practitioner of black magic”. Othello can’t be with Desdemona because he is not of the same skin color according to Brabantio. His race has a great amount of influence on how people see Othello. The way Iago and Brabantio see him as a witch or a beast.
The stage directions show that Eddie reacts to Catherine in an unexpected way, becoming "shy" at how pleased she is to see him. This indicates that his feelings for her are not entirely normal and it is almost as though he does not feel worthy of her attention. This quickly changes, though, when he sees that she is all dressed up and he fires a volley of short, single clause questions at her -- "Where you goin’?" and "What's goin’ on?" He appears to be suspicious that she may be going to meet another man and this rapid change of mood indicates an element of unease and tension in their relationship.
