Although this does not prove that Cromwell was a villain, it does prove he was a hypocrite as closing parliament was one of the main reasons that Charles 1st was executed. Oliver closed parliament because he couldn’t achieve an effective working relationship with successive parliament. Cromwell was one of the people on the jury which tried Charles 1st after the second Civil war. This jury sentenced Charles 1st to death, which makes Cromwell indirectly guilty of regicide (the murder of a monarch). Some people could also argue that this is also homicide which, although it is true, is not quite as serious because Cromwell had already killed many in battle and sentenced other people as part of a parliament.
A verdict which was clearly based on racial prejudice made Scout, Dill, and especially Jem shocked. Atticus tried to appeal, but then Tom Robinson was shot when he was trying to escape from prison. Bob Ewell, who felt humiliated by Atticus at the court, seek his revenge. When Jem and Scout went home from Hallowen party, Bob attacked them with a knife. Jem and Scout were powerless when someone came and help them.
The first speech begins the Night before The Battle of Agincourt. To have some background to this speech, Henry V went around his camp in disguise to have the soldiers view on the battle. This is because earlier on that day he named his dear friend Bardolph to death because of his crimes against his King. He was hanged because he raided a Holy church. That is why he wondered around the camp, to see if they thought this was a good decision before the battle the next day.
A murderer has broken into God’s temple and stolen the life out of it. Macduff compares Duncan corpse to a church that has been broken into, that shows it’s unethical for something so tragic to happen. 4) Relevance: This quote shows the reader can see how tragic the murder of Duncan was, to the point they compare his body to a church that has been broken into. Something like this shouldn’t happen it’s not right for someone to kill a king as if it was for someone to break into a church. Scene 4 “God’s benison go with you and with those that would make good of bad and friends of foes.” (2.4.43-44) 1) Speaker: The speaker of this quote is the Old man.
Their fears made them vulnerable to lies made by money hungry church officials. Hitler was also one who manipulated religion to bring himself to power and wipe out Jews. He justified that in the bible, Jesus was killed by Jews and now he is just avenging Jesus. Hitler made it seems like it was fine to mass murder and kill everyone who was not German. His followers were so blinded by the hype that they didn't realize they betrayed their own religion.
He was said to have shouted out to a crowd, “Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?” Four knights had heard what Henry shouted and took it to mean that he wanted Becket dead. These knights went off to Canterbury to find Becket and carry out the deed. When they arrived they found Becket and murdered him on December 29th 1170 in the Canterbury Cathedral. The pope quickly made Thomas Becket a saint and his death gave the Church more power than Henry II. His death was significant to many; the place of his death quickly became a place of
Whatever chance he chose, Tom faced an ill fate with racismâs stamp on it. If he returned to court, the racist jury would convict him and he would be hung, and when he tried to escape, the racist prison guards not only killed him, but mutilated his body with unnecessary bullets. Tom Robinsonâs life was first ruined, then ended, by racism. Also victimized by racism and its

The defendant pleaded insanity at the trial. Physician’s conclusions were based on hearing the testimony and observing the defendant’s behavior. After the judge looked over the physician’s opinion, the prosecution agreed to stop the case and the defendant was declared insane. The Queen and House of Lords strongly disapproved of the verdict, so they called on
I think this because the reporter said “ He was trying to deny his victims families to watch him suffer like his victims suffered.” This makes the reader get the impression that he was utterly ashamed of what he has done and he regrets his actions deeply. The author uses two methods in the article and one of the is fact and opinion, an example of a fact is ‘Michael tries to run, but he was gunned down with four shots’ the quotation creates an emotional response because it is blunt and represents the brutality in which one of the boy’s was killed. A second example of a fact was that “ Harris was sentenced to death” this one quote summarises
