This is ironic, because in act two of Othello Iago’s scheme to undo the moor starts to involve more people. He begins to use Cassio, manipulate Othello, and persuade Roderigo into doing things, which will benefit no one but himself in the end. Iago uses Cassio because he wants to make him look bad in front of Othello, since he took Iago’s qualified position of lieutenant. One way Iago does this is by getting Cassio drunk. Even though Cassio did not want to drink, Iago managed to convince him to share a container of wine.

He expressed these moral characters in times of trouble. While he was in put away in a cell, his fellow friends bribed the guard but Socrates knowing what his fate is coming too did not leave because he thought it was unjust. When the penalty of death was brought up at his trial he said, "Death is something I couldn't care less about, but that my whole concern is not to do anything unjust or impious." (The Apology line 32d) He was concerned with acting unjustly. He took full responsibility for what he was being accused for.
Although we might not show our selfish intentions we become arrogant and full of ourselves. The Bushman’s custom of bad mouthing is an attempt of enforcing humility that was successful on Mr. Lee. "Eating Christmas in the Kalahari" was a learning experience in the differences in our culture, but also vividly describing the way the Bushman think. They are a society that strongly holds onto humility. Even though they are thankful for Mr. Lee’s generosity they strive to hide their appreciation in order to keep him from feeling superior.
This is known early in Counterparts as while Farrington is being scolded the first time by Mr. Alleyne he is thinking about drinking later on that night, “leaving after it a sharp sensation of thirst. The man recognized the sensation and felt that he must have a good night's drinking”. It is also clear he is an alcoholic when he pawns his pocket for drinking money. Personally, I can understand why Farrington would want to drink alcohol. He is having a rough day, and needs a way of escaping from the reality of his adversity.
There is a moral difference between Shelton’s killing of his attackers and that of his other victims. Darby and Ames caused personal harm to Shelton and thus gave him the moral right to try and prevent any other future pain that could be caused by these men, but the other victims were combatants in the war that Shelton waged against the “system”. When looking at Darby and Ames, Shelton takes a more utilitarian approach when dealing with their killings. The government “system” is supposed to punish those who are wrong. But in the trial of Darby and Ames, only Ames was punished severely while Darby was allowed to go free.
Since Jerry had no idea what he was doing as a criminal mastermind, he couldn’t successfully put across some guidelines for the two hit men. His greed also just wanted it done for himself, while he just basically sits back and lets it happen. This mistake is what leads to the three innocent lives being lost in the car, and later Jerry’s wife ends up being killed after not cooperating properly with one of the hit men. All Jerry wanted was the easy way out of his financial slump, but he ended up getting himself into much more than he asked
Like when Amir Testes Hassan’s vast devotion to him by asking “Eat dirt if I told you to?” said by Amir “If you asked I would” said by Hassan. Hassan, he also protects Amir in confrontations with Assef and even endures the “rape” in order to save Amir’s kite. Amir further exploits Hassan’s loyalty and uses it to frame him in theft of money and watch. And can you please turn to page ___ “This was Hassan’s final sacrifice to me … Hassan never lied”. It was Amir’s betrayal rather than the rape itself which destroys the relationship between Amir and Hassan and ultimately forces him to leave the home he grew up in.
His self-assured thought, that he is the best among the wine connoisseurs, makes him ignorant to the opinions of other people. He disregards and neglects any suggestions made by Montressor that Luchesi might be a better person to differentiate the wines. “And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado” writes author showing that not only that Fortunato insulted Luchesi, he kind of laughed at Montesor for deciding to go to Luchesi for advice (15). When Montresor suggested that Fortunato had a cold and it would be better for him not to go to the vaults, Fortunato forcefully made Montresor take him there. “The cold is merely nothing.
The ways it is different is: Personal honor was highly prized, the ritual of absolute hospitality for a guests no longer exists, personal vengeance was the norm as opposed to punishment by the State government.
