After Crooks asks her to leave, she threatens him, she says “listen nigger, you know what I can do to you if you open your trap?” she discriminates him and puts him down, so she feels in power. She does this as she always feels so much hatred against her as she is a woman and others look down at her, but when faced with Crooks she has the ability to demean him completely as she has the power to not only take his job, but maybe even his life. This makes
Unlike Ralph's peaceful, democratic leadership, Jack believes in violence as a way to rule. Jack uses anarchism, the absence of government, as his method of winning over the boys and convincing them to leave Ralph. When Jack is originally unsuccessful as convincing the boys to convert over to his own methods, he resorts to savagery in order to become successful in gaining power and sovereignty over the boys. Jack's disrespect, desire to hunt, and violent tendencies are all ways in which he gains and maintains power over the converted boys. Most importantly, Jack's disrespect towards the other boys makes him fearful to the others, and therefore the boys feel obligated to follow his orders if they want to avoid consequences.
Both of these groups have different skills in their problem. Prince John and the Sheriff are planning to use the skill of passing outlaws and confiscating properties of the enemies, Robin Hood and Merry Men. They are doing this as a result of anger and revenge for killing of their men by Robin Hood. Robin Hood and the Merry Men on the other hand are approaching their problem of seeing to it that Prince John is overthrown and King Richard restored by collaborating together and working tirelessly and fiercely towards success. (2) Social Exchange Theory This theory suggests that you only get more if you give( Argyris, 1976).
Once he betrays Friendly, Terry is without the work. Still, Terry goes on to confronts Friendly by the docks and when all the dock workers are witness to the brutal beating of Terry by Friendly, they refuse to work unless Terry is also allowed to work. This is when the fear the workers had of the dock bosses shift. Terry had neither wanted nor intended to be a hero, but as he evolved to a “man” he had become not only a hero, but also a symbol of the workers' intolerance of manipulation by the dock bosses. In The Passion of Joan of Arc, Joan (Renee Maria Falconetti) is brought to trial.

Jack is trying to manipulate the boys into thinking that Ralph isn’t the proper leader and Jack is trying to overthrow Ralph because wants power. This expresses that the darkness of humanity will destroy society for power and will do anything to get it. These quotes show that the darkness of humanity can destroy societies proven by Golding in the Lord of the
Bob, a very ignorant, poor man, feels like he must get some sort of revenge on Atticus for going against him in court, so he spits in Atticus’s face. Atticus simply tells his children “if spitting in my face and threatening me save Mayella Ewell one extra beating, that’s something I’d gladly take” (Lee 292). Atticus allows himself to be put in danger by letting Bob take his anger out on him rather than him going home and abusing his daughter, Mayella Ewell even more. In the novel, Walter Cunningham, a poor white man, who lives in Maycomb and serves on the jury, believes Tom is innocent, but he does not have the integrity to act upon his beliefs. Atticus’s self-reliant characteristics make him stand firm in his beliefs and follow what his conscience tells him.

In this speech Colonel Sheburn attacks the cowardice of the mob, for they don’t have the courage to attack him one on one.
Montresor vows revenge from one man who ill-treated him, while the Misfit takes his revenge out on anyone whom he crosses paths with, like the Bailey family, whose double standards and indifference towards others he feels are liable for the problems in the world. Fortunato is Montresor’s one and only victim. Montresor is determined to get back at Fortunato after all the agony he had to undergo from him without feeling regretful or having legal consequences: “I must not only punish but punish with impunity” (375). After Montresor leads Fortunato into his family’s vaults, he executes his plan and that was to kill Fortunato. In contrast, the Bailey family is probably one of many people that the Misfit crosses paths with after escaping from jail in Florida.
The narrator knows this and mocks himself, stating it does not matter how he thinks of himself, because anyone—even the anonymous blond man on the street—can force him to conform to these stereotypes, simply by uttering a racial insult. Confined by this, the narrator flees the outside world in search of the freedom to define himself without the constraints that racism imposes. The episode with the blond man serves to illustrate the extent of the narrator’s metaphorical slavery. The man’s insult dehumanizes the narrator. He attacks the man in order to force him to recognize the narrator’s individuality.
We may go round our history books either lambasting or extolling powerful leaders, but we will always come to the conclusion that power does corrupt a man. The thirst for power is unbounded and the lamentable consequences often quash a man. Getting power is just the onset of melancholy, disaster, lugubriousness and sorrow. All the leaders throughout history were undoubtedly very strong and were feared but we often learn that they were sordid, uncouth, perpetrators, lascivious, perplexed and unscrupulous. They often committed a myriad of staggering sins and believed they were masters of perpetuity.
