Who eligibly said his helicopter was shot down in the Iraq war. Remember this happened back in 2003, because of his pride and committing to the lie that burden has stuck with him and now the whole world knows he is a liar. I agree with the quote, because if a man that is successful at lying has too much pride, and won’t acknowledge when he is wrong. Which won’t allow one to learn from his mistake. During the play Creon, a noble King, imprisons a woman named Antigone.
What villain touched his body, that did stab, And not for justice?”(4.3.18-21) In this quote, Brutus is saying that no man who partook in Julius Caesar's downfall did so for self gain. Brutus's and every other conspirator slayed Caesar because they honestly believed that it would be what was best for Rome. Brutus evokes the emotion in the audience in order to get his point across. Brutus's honor can be proved through another very important
As see on Page 82: “You didn’t ought to have let that fire out. You said you keep the smoke going” “This from Piggy and wails of agreement from some of the hunters, drove Jack to violence.” Golding uses these words to show how for Jack’s ignorant mistakes, he becomes violent which corresponds to his evil and connects to the theme: ignorance is the root and stem of all evil. More ignorance is revealed from the characters in the Lord of the Flies when Simon is
He killed his wife and son to save them from having a horrible death from beings severely burnt. The hermits actions were not actually bad but they were heroic, courageous and they were done because he loved them. This subplot is a perfect example to show that it all depends on the context on which you read what
She is confronted by Ismene, townspeople, the guard, and Creon but she stays true to her religious beliefs. Creon tried to make her see the burial rites issue from his point of view by saying that one brother died defending the country but the other died destroying the country. In response Antigone states, “That may be, but Hades still desires equal rites for both” (592-593). Without wavering, Antigone keeps to her original Greek Gods argument, thus still a religious figure. Even when Ismene tries to share the punishment in burying their brother, Antigone sticks to honesty and doesn't want to please someone who didn't believe in what she believed was right.
This arrogance leads him to becoming slightly obsessed with retaining his pride and not letting anyone slight his bravado. To uphold his name and pride, he mauls his opponents without remorse, heroically takes on the river Xanthus, and even sacrifices twelve Trojan men at Patrocius’ funeral (Cook, 57). Though finally in the final chapter, Achilles shows his remorseful side when he’s reminded of his father when Priam asks for Hector’s defiled body back (Cook, 48). Achilles encompasses many traits immanent in the culture of his time period, mostly of honor and glory for his name, but he also relinquishes those traits with a forgiving side of remorse and grief, even though it usually ends in intense anguish. On the contrary, Hamlet embraces several of these characteristics in the form of a very different character.
He was not involved with any decisions regarding the Final Solution or the Holocaust, his job was to solely present them as good to the German people. He was very manipulative as a result, and so this can be seen as an evil trait. After learning of Hitler’s suicide, Goebbels planned to kill himself and his family, an evil action which he eventually carried out. | Albert Speer | March 19th 1905 | September 1st 1981 (76) | Minister of Armaments and War Production | 4 | Speer is sometimes nicknamed ‘the Nazi who said sorry’. This is because during his Nuremburg trial he accepted his guilt and responsibility for his actions.
An ancient proverb says, “May the one who hast not volunteered cast the first stone, and aim for the head.” The Trojan war originally was fought over not only over Helen of Troy, but also because Paris committed the greatest act of disrespect to Greece, he helped an old woman across the street. After this, his city was burnt to the ground after a long war that lost thousands of men. Volunteering is all fun and games till someone gets hurt. Anyway, volunteering is the devil’s way of converting hard working men into bums who do everything for free. It is undermining the capitalist sprit, and only fights against Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, and Survival of the Fittest.
Karl showed no sincerity in his actions and choices. I believe if he was truly sorry for what he did, he would have tried his best to convince other Nazis that what they were doing was wrong. It was his last opportunity to take a stand for the Jews and show sincerity, but instead he tried to save himself to die in peace. Simon did right by walking out of the room silently it was out of his hands to forgive. In order for Karl to be forgiven it is out of humans hands and only obtainable by God’s
At the beginning when Agamemnon takes Chryseis as his prize all hell breaks lose. Agamemnon refuses to give her back and Chryses prays for help from Apollo. It is very cool to me when Apollo sends plague upon the Greek camp, causing death of many soldiers. The way that these gods have powers is amazing. Say if it were like this today and somebody messed with you, all you would have to do is pray and ask for something evil to happen to them.
