(3.3 29+32) The fatal flaw of the third conspirator, Cassius is that he is scared of what will happen to him after he murdered Caesar. Cassius and Brutus though that Anthony will turn Rome against them and realize what they did was wrong and their traitors. Cassius’s famous quote is “” Men at times are masters of their fates; the fault; dear Brutus, is not in our stars. But in ourselves””. (1.2 139-142) In conclusion, these conspirators lead to their own downfall by not listening to each other.
Almost everyone commits sins, but how many have the conscious to feel guilty and suffer from those sins? In The Scarlet Letter and The Kite Runner, each of the main characters, Arthur Dimmesdale and Amir, both committed a crime that they suffered greatly from. While both had to live with a guilty conscience, the way they dealt with their wrong-doings and consequences of their transgressions were much different. Dimmesdale decided to punish himself secretly and physically; whereas Amir was wounded so deeply that he chose to forget everything about it. The different nature of their sin and character, however, led each of them to their ultimate fate.
Crime and Punishment Testimony Rodion Raskolnikov has committed a double murder, for he has to be psychologically evaluated by I Dr. Alzubi. We the prosecution is entitled to prove Rodion Raskolnikov guilty on all accounts of murder. I have twenty two years of criminal psychiatry experience; which leaves me to prove Rodion sane while he committed the double crime. Rodion Raskolnikov kills the pawnbroker and her sister; Alyona Ivanovna and Lizaveta. The sole purpose of ripping people off for their money by taking advantage of their poor economic status is immoral.
Paul’s hatred for his middle class lifestyle is so strong, that he feels it is necessary to ‘artificially enhance’ his life by lying and stealing. Even though Cordelia street is a respectable neighbourhood, Paul views it as a poor and ugly area, because it lacks the extravagence that represents wealth and to him beauty. In Paul’s world, “the natural nearly always wears the guide of ugliness, that a certain element of artificiality seemed necessary in beauty.” (Paul’s Case, pg. 7). Paul despises his common life so much that he feels he must hid it from his peers through lies.
His willingness to slaughter the man for so weak a reason is frightening though. It helps to show how twisted Chillingworth truly is. During the end of the novel though, Dimmesdale thwarts Chillingworth’s revenge plot by telling the Puritan community how he had an affair with Hester. This act absolutely ruins Chillingworth because he no longer possesses the power over Dimmesdale. All the horrible acts he had done in the past were undone, because Dimmesdale "Hast escaped me!"(228).
He is baffled by Mr. Chiu’s remarks, “If only I could kill all the bastards,” and thinks to himself how “ugly” his professor looks. (Jin 185) This is a clear sign that all the morals and principals are now gone in the character. Having refused on principle to sign a false confession, he has been consumed by sickness and negativity that he has no qualms about what he just did, but is still aware of what is going to happen. This is his way of punishing the province and the police that falsely accused him of sabotage, but ironically ended up creating a bigger demon that anyone could have
However, it is difficult to believe that Cathy chose to be evil to the extreme that Steinbeck depicts. He described every moment of her life as being devoted to bringing other people down, and pulling herself up. She achieved this through devious schemes that trapped many important men in compromising positions, and also by clever plots that allowed her to take over one of the most successful whore houses in Salinas. Cathy was a secretive person who went to great measures to cover her past and her feelings. In turn, chosen isolation combined with the lack of love is a clear identification of the source of her evil, which is
I should of known long before that this whole situation would blow up in my face. If it's one thing I do know is that no good comes from lying, that truth will stare you in the face like your relfection in the mirror. It wasn't just those people in the court room that I had to lie infront of, I lied before god. I had to stand infront of all those people, bold-face lying that Tom Robinson abused me. When I sat back down, shame and guilt came crashing down on me like a tonn of bricks.
It displays the hate and disgust the German Nazis have for the European Jewish population. But in all the mess and murder, stands Oscar Shindler who saved the lives of more than a thousand Jewish people, at the cost of the fortune he had so longed for and set out to achieve at the beginning of the story. This was scarce to come across by the Jewish people they were surrounded by the Germans as well as their hatred. This is the source of the genocide that occurred when the working German government attempted to “exterminate” the Jews from Europe and eventually they would’ve tried on a worldwide scale if they had the chance. The process in which the Jews were rounded up concentrated, enslaved and eventually murdered was cruel and disgusting.
For starters, he murdered William Frankenstein, Victor’s brother. Mary Shelley also makes it clear that he is glad of what he has done – “My heart filled with exultation and hellish triumph”. Basically meaning “I became excited and felt that I had beaten him”. Another example is that he attacked the DeLacey’s. He did this because all but one of the family members had constantly showered him in abuse and offensive actions. The next infraction is what some would consider worse than murder itself – framing another person for a murder they did not commit.
