He stands by what he believes in and fights for it. A good example of this is when the Sheriff of Nottingham sent an assassin to Sherwood to kill Robin. However, Robin killed him and actually taunted the Sheriff when he disguised himself as
CNSL 144 April 29,2015 Sophist Project My esteemed fellow citizens, Do you believe this gentle man deserves the reward? This man standing in front of me, known to the community as John Doe was given direct orders: Kill the tyrant. He did not and failed to follow through. Feeling panicked, he resulted in killing the tyrant’s son. Now my fear is this, if this man could not follow simple instructions, how can we trust that he will not turn on one of us if we do not give him the reward money??
Hamlet is aware of plots against him and he believes this will be bad for Denmark. He thwarts the plots and continues on with his plan to get revenge against the man who betrayed his country by killing his father. He was faced with an immediate obstacle in his plan and he effectively got past it. Even though two men had to die he did what he had to do in the interest of his kingdom. This level of effective problem solving is important to be able to do when running a country and it is clearly a skill Hamlet possesses.
His morality is revealed when he questions Fortinbras’ motives – is it right to allow so many men to die when fighting for a worthless piece of land? Hamlet’s passion for revenge is resurrected by the sight of the troops and he vows to take action – ‘My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth.’ The state of Denmark is in chaos (because the wrong king is on the throne) and this manifests itself through the mini rebellion on the castle with the return of Laertes. Laertes is Hamlet’s best foil in the play. Now that each of them has a father to avenge the contrast between the pair reaches its peak. Laertes has no time for thoughts or moral reflection; he is hard set on revenge.
3. What strategic options does Robin Hood have?

Why not try to end the campaign by killing the Sheriff?
In Kafka’s short story “In The Penal Colony”, The Officer is the judge of the colony and punishes men who may or may not be considered guilty by more humane men. He takes the ultimate sacrifice in the end when he realizes that he is the one who should be punished and he uses the machine—that he used to worship—to kill himself. The two villains are similar in the fact that they both murder people for unjustifiable reasons, however, they differ when it comes to morals and confidence. Captain Torres kills rebels whether they did anything or not. He doe not care about their intentions as he states that all the rebels will be punished (p.443).
Richard is bitter, deformed, not loved, and sickened by peace, so he will set his brothers up for their death and rise up. Richard misleads Clarence first to get him placed in prison because his plan is to get rid of the king before Clarence has to die. It is amazing that it is obvious that Richard is the
Like Hamlet, Laertes, also wants to take avenge and does it openly. Laertes organizes a mob supporting him to be king. This line of action, organizing a mob, would have been very productive for Hamlet. However, Hamlet decided to stay in the castle instead of going out and taking care of business. Another comparison between Hamlet and Laertes is their love for Opheliah.
He arranged both murders cold bloodedly, plotting with murderers, released from prison. Macbeth killed Banquo out of jealousy; because he is "lesser than Macbeth and greater" and "not so happy, yet much happier." He kills Banquo because Banquo will father kings while he is childless. he tries to work against fate and change the part of the prophesy that does not benefit him. It is not satisfactory for him to content his own ambition.
