One similarity they had was that they both were concerned with the behaviors of the government officials. Government officials were being too abusive with the way they were treating people like the story of Marcus Marius. Because his people didn’t do one job right, he was being beaten for something that he didn’t even do. The government didn’t beat the people who were the ones who actually cleared the baths and cleaned them up for the consul’s wife. Another example would be when Augustus’s grandson was assassinated while Tiberius was in power.
The tomb was built simply but very elegantly. Cyruses temple still stands today which proves Herodotus’s first argument to be false. Herodotus’s second argument falsely poses the idea that the Persians were not elaborate engineers. Evidence from the movie argues that the persians had some of the most ingenious engineers that history had ever seen at that time. The persians had many innovations in engineering.
Such as R v Pittwood (1902) in which Pittwood was a gatekeeper at a railway crossing and left the gate open. When someone crossed the track they were killed, Pitwood was charged for manslaughter because he was contractually obliged to close the gate.

Gibbons made out that Proctor was in charge of the child and didn’t know about her condition but the court convicted him on the grounds that he was the father and lived in the same house and should of noticed the condition she was in and had therefore neglected her.
This means that the gods had key roles in the fates of mankind, an idea which is hinted heavily upon during the course of the play. The title character of Aeschylus’ production, Agamemnon, faces various challenges which ultimately end rather poorly with Clytaemnestra organising his assassination. It could be argued that this was destined to happen from the very beginning of the sequence of events due to the family curse that circles his house. Atreus’s house was known for the curse that seemed to pass down through the generations of his sons which involved terrible things, ie murder happening between the children and the fathers. Atreus himself was involved in the tragedy in which he murdered his brother’s children and served them up as a dish to eat.
Exemplified when he did not become king when King Hygelac died, but became guardian over Hygelac's son to guide the ruling of the country. Then when Hygelac's son was killed in battle, he assumed the rightful place as king. In this community, leaders honor debts and obligations doing what is right and necessary to make it a better place. During this period, one of the worst crimes that demanded retaliation was the killing of individuals in the community. His understanding of personalities made him powerful.
“We are responsible for each other” it’s one of the concluding quotes that Inspector Goole left the Birling family with, looking at each of them ironically. He, who represents the voice of conscience, shows that all actions do have consequences and doing something like firing an employee from a job can turn into a series of bad happenings. Each character of the play have a responsibility of Eva’s Smith death. The Inspector wanted each member of the family to share the responsibility of Eva's death: he tells them, "each of you helped to kill her." Mr.Birling is responsible since he has sacked her of job because she asked for rise in her salary.

Humartia for the greeks meant an error, an unintentional sin or a tragic fault, something that will not go as planned. Give a brief summary of the work and explain the more immediate context leading into the particular statement you are using as an example. In this tragedy we see a family that is involved with law of the state, a uncle that arrests his niece that end up killing herself and being her cousins lover. In the furthest corner of the tomb we saw Antigone hanging by the neck Here is when Antigone is found dead, her uncle sends the guards to kill her but the tragedy is already done.
