A Knight’s loyalty to his leader was generally based on a legal contract rather than moral obligation, like a Samurai has. Document E shows that a Samurai devotes his entire life to his duty, while a Knight does not. If a Samurai should break their code, they will be punished or killed, while breaking the code of honor for a Knight will have them disgraced and rarely killed (unless it’s a
They feared to live in such sinful society, because they believed that God predestined people to salvation and others were damned for the rest of time. Those believes explain why the Puritans tried to live according to the bible, and why they feared the Lord to some extent. To get away from the perverted European society, the Puritans migrated to the Northeast to create society completely devoted to serve the lord. They were driven by the fear that God was discontent, and that he would bring hell upon
Conflict influences everyone in how they act and what decisions they make. Macbeth (by Shakespeare) and Ladyhawke (by unknown) are perfect examples of this. Both stories have people in them, Macbeth in Macbeth and Philippe in Ladyhawke, that face conflicts that will affect how they act and the decisions they make. Conflict influences the decisions and actions of both Macbeth, a tragic hero, and Philippe, a hero. In Macbeth, Macbeth was a tragic hero because he had a flaw in his personality that ultimately caused him to perish.
The Bacchae In his play The Bacchae Euripides explores the duality of society, the roles of males and females in life, and the role of the Gods. His tragedy details the downfall of an arrogant ruler and his family as they each interact the god Dionysus. Pentheus, the king of Thebes, does not believe Dionysus is a god. His ultimate sin was denying that he was a god, and not making the proper sacrifices. By trying to maintain rigid order Pentheus scorned Dionysus, and set the stage for his own demise.
Despite his fear of fire, he was compelled, with the cracking of whips, to jump through fire hoops.The alien was then sold to a touring animal-show, where he finally became sluggish and demoralized. He was next sold to a rich collector of rare beasts, who treated him inhumanely. Eventually he escaped to a nearby forest and was last seen weeping, looking in terror at rabbits and squirrels, and trying desperately to walk on all fours.Setting cruelty and indifference aside, the professors and other earthlings in this story provide yet another vivid demonstration of conceptual conservatism. Even though the evidence conclusively pointed to the alien's superior intelligence and kindness, his learned jailers failed to shake
This caused the monster to feel hatred: “if I cannot inspire love I will cause fear, and chiefly towards you my archenemy, because my creator, do I swear inextinguishable hatred.” There is a use of contrast in this quote: love vs. fear, bringing out the message that the monster has experienced discrimination and all the love in him was taken away, and to be replaced by hatred. This again is because of the creator’s lack of ability; he
To kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence. Throughout the book, character like Tom Robinson, Boo Radley, Jem and Mr. Raymond can be likened to mockingbirds. They are innocents that have been hurt or destroyed through contact with evil. The connection between the title and its main theme is made clear many times throughout the novel. For example, after Tom Robinson is shot, Mr Underwood compares his death to “the senseless slaughter of songbirds”, and at the end Scout thinks that hurting Boo Radley would be like “shootin’ a mockingbird”.
He came to the kingdom of Thebes and took control over all of the women. He put them under a curse and forced them to worship him. And because one man did not show reverence to him, he ruined his life. He acted selfishly and even cruel in a sense. These are qualities of human nature which were brought out of a god because of his want for more power.
But later as a result of rejection and bigotry, leads him to hurt others and become a dangerous creature. Lastly the society can also be considered to be monsters by discriminating and judging the creature because of its unnatural way of creation and outlook without really knowing or understanding his intentions and just assuming he was
Ross says “By th' clock ’tis day, /And yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp. /Is ’t night’s predominance or the day’s shame /That darkness does the face of Earth entomb /When living light should kiss it?” Which means that it is daytime but it is dark, to convey that darkness is overcoming light just like evil overcoming good. The old man also makes an interesting comment, “On Tuesday last, /A falcon, tow'ring in her pride of place, /Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.” Which means that a falcon was killed by an owl that usually goes after mice to continue emphasizing the fact that unnatural things are
