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.
I really like the one were the rioter was buying bread, wine, and other supplies. He also buys some poison to kill his
As Arthur Miller states, “Naturally, the best proof of the sincerity of your confession was your naming of others whom you had seen in the Devil’s company – an invitation to private vengeance” (“Why I Wrote The Crucible”). Essentially, blame is something that can be loaded onto scapegoats to facilitate acts of revenge, and to “get back” at someone who has upset, annoyed, or wronged society. “Half-Hanged Mary” by Margaret Atwood highlights some of the offenses that Mary Webster, the work’s main character, is targeted for: “I was hanged for living alone, for having blue eyes and sunburned skin, tattered skirts, few buttons, a weedy farm in my own name, and a surefire cure for warts; Oh yes, and breasts, and a sweet pear hidden in my body. Whenever there’s talk of demons these come in handy” (Atwood). Atwood’s list of reasons that explain Webster’s hanging draw up two conclusions about the party who commit her botched execution: they dislike the notion that Webster is an independent woman, and they dislike the unique aspects of her physical appearance.
The significance of the restaurant being called “Frank’s Chophouse” could be to show the aggression and the violence that is harboured in Willy’s life. Another interpretation of this important location could be to show how unimportant Willy is, almost as if he is “chopped liver”, as his sons leave him, for two girls, on the off chance that they will “have some fun”. In terms of “Frank’s Chophouse”, this scene is significant to the play as a whole; as it shows the audience a more broadened opinion of women and what Happy and Biff think of them. An example of this is at the beginning when Happy is talking to Stanley. Happy says – “Strudel’s comin’” – which suggests that Happy’s view of women is derogatory, almost as if they are a piece of sweet apple that can be eaten and enjoyed, and then spat out when that goodness has gone.
False assumptions and lack of proof have led to horrific death of the innocent. The craving for revenge has always been a strong motive. In the short story “Cask of Amontillado” Edgar Allan Poe exposes the reader to the dark emotions of revenge through his use of diction, imagery, and plot in the story. Edgar Allan Poe used diction to present the reader with a broader view of revenge and clues on why Montresor wanted his revenge against Fortunato. Poe uses a grand choice of diction throughout the entire story, but there are some main points that need to be observed with a closer perspective to perhaps reveal and understand a deeper meaning.
Jiří Juchelka IB1 English SL Imagery of violence in the novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold. As one of the main themes of this novel, Violence is seen and described throughout the whole story. In this particular novel the violence is portrayed very naturalistically and occasionally displayed in outrageous details. The imagery of violence in this novel is very important to the story. “But she couldn’t avoid a wave of fright as she remembered Santiago Nasar’s horror when she pulled out the insides of a rabbit by the roots and threw the steaming guts to the dogs.” (p.8) The author in this line expressed Victoria’s bitterness towards Santiago Nasar.
And demandin’ of her how she come to be so stabbed, she testify it were your wife’s familiar spirit pushed it in’” (Miller 71). Spoken by Ezekiel Cheever, a clerk of the court, this dialogue shows that Abigail purposely stabs herself to make it seem as if it were the evil act of Elizabeth’s spirit. When the townsmen search the Proctors’ home, they discover the poppet with a needle poked in it (Abigail’s doing). Elizabeth is arrested, and Abigail is satisfied – for the time being. John Proctor, on the other hand, is outraged because he clearly knows the real motive behind Abigail’s deceitful
In this passage, Juliet goes through a variety of emotions – betrayal, conflict, resolution and guilt. At the beginning of the passage, Juliet feels betrayed by Romeo. This is expressed as she curses him, “O serpent heart, hid with a flow’ring face!”, a “wolvish ravening lamb” and “just opposite to what thou justly seem’st”. All these phrases show how she felt deceived that Romeo, despite his beautiful appearance, turned out to be a murderer of her cousin. This is right after she hears from the Nurse that Romeo was the one who killed Tybalt.
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.
In this case , the concept of religion brings about a form of foreshadowing. There was also a bit of irony as the knives that were used to kill Santiago were pig knives and you would think that its quite ironic how it was the murder weapon but, in my opinion , it symbolises the vicario brothers intent. “But she noticed that the twins were carrying two butcher knives wrapped in kitchen rags.” The vicario brother’s sister was defiled meaning that she has
