Amir betrays his friend Hassan at various times; he is very jealous and only wants the love and affection of his father. Later in the novel, Amir moved to the United States and finds out that Hassan is his half-brother. As a new immigrant, life in the U.S is not easy for him. He was feeling guilty for all the bad things he did to Hassan. Therefore, to redeem himself, he rescued Hassan’s son Sohrab from Assef in Afghanistan.
The tragic hero must learn a lesson from his errors in judgment and become an example to the audience of what happens when great men fall from their social or political positions. Those actions happen when the Herdsman tells Oedipus who his mother is, and Oedipus replies Oh, oh, then everything has come out true. Light, I shall not look on you Again. I have been born where I should not be born, I have been married where I should not marry, I have killed whom I should not kill; now all is clear (Sophocles 1144). Oedipus's decision to pursue his questioning is wrong; his grandiosity blinded him and, therefore, his fate is not deserved, but it is far beyond his control.
Knowingly he didn’t escape. One explainable reason Peyton Farquhar should have been hung was because he tried to attempt an act of terrorism, and communism against a country. Another reason was that he should have been hung is that he knew what he was doing, and he did wrong, and he knew he was a disarray (unit 5, page 63) about it. You notice it because right when he dies, he thinks he escaped. He thinks he gets to see his family again, and that’s a sign of guilt, and betrayal to his loved ones, and for the people that have been there for him.
He makes the anticipation of bad news worse than the bad news itself. As Kumalo “arrives” at the point of sorrow, it is a relief because although he still feels crushed to know all that has become of his son is a murderer, he at least stands on solid ground. This is shown when he goes to visit his son before the trial and loses respect for his brother because his brother refuses to try to grieve. He knows that by refusing to do so, his brother is also refusing to heal. Kumalo knows that there is no purpose in extending the journey, because then he would just be extending the pain.
On one hand Thesus is compassionate to the widows he encounters on the road and vows to avenge them, on the other he razes Thebes to the ground and strips many citizens of their homes and lives. On one hand he mourns Arcite and can only be consoled by his father Egeus, and on the other he initially threw Arcite and Palamon into prison without ransom or remorse. This contradictory behavior calls into question the knights virtue; because there is a lack of consistency one must question the truth of his unending chivalry. This brings us to the realization that if a
He thought ‘kids like him’, the defendant, should be punished, because he sees his son in the 16-year-old defendant. Although he asserts, “I have no personal feelings in this case”, the audience realize this is untrue, especially in his last monologue when he shouts, “I know him”. Clearly, his personal feelings cause him to vote ’guilty’. However, when the 8th Juror reminds Juror 3,” It’s not your boy”, the 3rd Juror finally understands he was wrong not to consider there was any reasonable doubt about the evidence because of his weakness of selfishness. 3rd Juror recognize himself due to his prejudice.
I personally believed that Creon had the most moral conflict. He was very cruel and selfish. Ismene and Antigone’s conflict fell more towards whether it was right or wrong to follow the god’s word or the ruler’s word. On pages 1070 and 1071 in our textbook, Antigone and Ismene discuss burying their brother that Creon has sworn no one should bury him. That is the beginning of all the moral conflict throughout this entire story.
I believe this because even though you cannot affirm what has been done, it does not give anyone the power to send someone to their death. If this was the case many innocent people would be going to their demise. I also believe the one who caught this person would be just as guilty for the accusation, especially if it is a false one. Death as a result of punishment for this law is unfair and should not be used in society today. My interpretation of Hammurabi’s third code is if someone takes another to a superior and has accused him of any
He states, “A son of sin and sorrows.” This shows that he knows the mistakes he have committed during his life and reign as king. His decision-making resulted in him losing his family and doing wrong in Apollo’s design. He also states, “ A prince of evil.” This means that the moment he took throne he was brought down from a fatal flaw, his flaw was hubris, he thought that he could get away from fate and in the Greek and Roman tragedies and in their life they believed strongly in fate. He also utilizes empathy to make others feel what he feels. He states, “For whom I should be hanged.” This shows that e is unhappy of the truth and how sick it makes him feel.
(p. 2708) Okonkwo not fully understanding his fault was angry that he needed to offer sacrifice to the earth. He loses respect for the clan because in his eyes his act of beating his wife was justified. He is partially to be blame for his demise; however, his character possesses traits that seemingly invite tragedy. Okonkwo bears much responsibility for it’s over all downfalls because he had countless opportunities to change the course
