“Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!”(152) This quote show the pure violence that ran though the boy’s blood, without second thought they jumped to kill Simon. This fear of the beast and what it truly was, was what lead them to brutally kill Simon. They were afraid of something they that was altogether foreign to them, the way it looked, what it ate, and how it acted.
Robert and Roger talk about Jack going to beat up one of their tribe members, “‘He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up.’”(159). They find this cruel act funny and exciting. Their humaneness is disappearing and they are taking pleasures in the most twisted things. Moreover, the disappearance of their humaneness leads them to killing people. Piggy went to talk to them in a civilized manner but they ended up killing him.
Therefore, the snake can represent Delia’s protector, sin, death, or devil but it most certainly is a mirrored reflection of Sykes. Sykes routinely shows his lack of respect for Delia. One morning Delia, sorting laundry and wondering where Sykes has gone with her horse, becomes paralyzed by fear when suddenly something “long, round, limp, and black falls upon her shoulders and slithers to the floor beside her.” Again Delia is reminded of what a malicious man Sykes can be. He uses a bullwhip to scare her; she believes it is a snake. Delia
In this part of the story, the blood represents death and According to Georgie, death is everywhere around him and he is bothered by this fact and that’s why is the one striving and working hard to clean it all up whereas the floor seemed fine to the narrator. Another instance can be recognized in the rabbit part of the story where Georgie runs over a pregnant rabbit and kills her. In this part of the story, the author definitely made his “life giving character” kill a pregnant rabbit, but in doing so, he saved eight little miniature rabbits temporarily at least. Later on, the narrator killed them carelessly. This is another instance of the story that Georgie gave life to eight bunnies whereas the narrator took away those lives.
The Madness that is Abigail Williams: Her Intentions in The Crucible “How hard it is when pretense falls! But it falls, it falls!” With these chilling and ominous words, Abigail’s twisted sense of revenge rings hollow in Arthur Miller’s terrifying play, The Crucible. A masterpiece of its time, The Crucible brings forth the true horrors man is capable of: deception and vengefulness. No character presents these values as well as Abigail, whose lust and heartbreak for John Proctor results in a homicidal goose chase. Because of her hate towards Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth, Abigail creates demented tales, directed at abolishing the “problem.” Though Abigail’s wild canards seem quite obtuse in civilization today, at the time her acts fell to justification.
The Witch's servants humiliate Aslan further by shaving off his mane, muzzling him, kicking him, and jeering at him. Aslan does not protest.

The Witch says she will kill Aslan instead of Edmund as they agreed.
Lennie gripping the dress and squeezing even harder demonstrates his lack of mental intelligence and physical harassment. This example shows a mental example of Lennie. Lennie does not understand so his mental and physical traits take over. A second example is when Lennie on two different accounts kills a baby rabbit and then a pup. Lennie’s physical strength is an extreme form of physical harassment.
George killed Lennie, just like Carlson, another gaucho at the ranch where the story happens killed Candy’s (another gaucho at the ranch) dog.He did it because he had to, and it was the best for the dog. Lennie had done something more acute than accidentally killing a small mouse or a puppy, he had murdered Curley’s wife. Whether it was on purpose or not, if George had let Lennie live Lennie could have been lynched or tortured to death. George knew he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he let the man he was responsible for, be killed out of revenge. Lennie had no idea what he was doing, and it wasn’t fair that he should be killed out of hate.
Once Piggy died Jack got that bloodlust again and “viciously, with full intention hurled his spear at Ralph.”(181). the spear wounded Ralph and they began to hunt him again just like they hunted a pig. To make matters worse Jack put a spear in the ground to put Ralphs head on just like he did to the
Useless Savings “He had the eye of a vulture…Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so, by degrees…I made up my mind to take the life of the old man and thus rid myself of the eye forever” (Poe). A man killed someone all because of the mans’ eyes. How crazier will someone kill another person all over nonsense. “He saved the nails because it was a sin to allow good material to go to waste…He saved nails and wasted life” (Hall). The man in this story saved useless stuff such as bent nails and pieces of string.
