While assuming JIB to be true, Shelton wages war on the government and by extension those who support it. He views this as a last resort, since he watched all the other non-violent options fail him. Thus this war can be justified. Shelton is justified in his actions because he is redressing a wrong suffered, and his intentions are to rid the corruptness from the judicial system. The people that Shelton killed are considered combatants because they support they governmental system and work with it.
(Defiant attitude. )” (Akutagawa 31). In the end Tajomaru believes that although his fate is in the hands of the law he will prevail even in death by challenging the system. Like the bandit Robin Hood who became an English folk hero thru the belief that even men whom have done wrong can become clean through the resistance of corrupt men. Tajomaru also believes that Takehiro was a greedily corrupt man whom deserved death.
Nowadays, horrifying crimes are being committed by criminals and they are being punished for it. It has been believed that behind every crime there is a reason, which usually gets neglected. In the world of justice, reasons doesn’t matter, only thing that matters is whoever did the crime has to be punished and everyone should get justice. From the articles “How people turn monstrous” by Mark Buchanan and “Revisiting the Stanford prison experiment” by Philip G. Zimbardo, which means human behavior is forceful. The good people always get forced inherently into the bad situation.
The Cask of Amontillado I like this story because how Montresor planned his revenge before taking actions and how he used Fortunate weaknesses to make the plan successful. I also like how Montresor’s motto connected to this story and to his actions. It explains everything. The thing that I didn’t like about the story is how Montresor got his revenge. He went too far.
Even where justice can be reached, the gods always sway the mortals to take revenge on the people who have wronged them. There are two ways to respond to a criminal’s offenses: one is to seek justice and the other thing one can do is seek revenge. Human nature desires that the criminal be punished and this will be achieved…and Desiring that a criminal be punished is a part of human nature that will come to fruition either by… Wanting a criminal to be punished is a part of human nature and will always happen whether or not the means are by justice or

His wife, friends, and innocent people were being accused for crimes they did not commit. He made heroic and difficult decisions in order to help the issue as much as he could. When he had to choose between confessing and hanging, he had an epiphany. He realized that John Proctor was not a bad man, but a good man that had sinned. When John understands what the source of his downfall was, he had the strength to stand up to the unmoral society and die in defense of the
John Proctor who was only a victim of vengeance had to be persecuted. I did what I should to save Mr Proctor’s life as it felt that I was responsible for his ordeal. But I am nothing but a disgrace. What kind of man is to plead someone to blemish his own name? I should be damned for persuading men to lie.
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. The betrayal of Amir ensured him (the adult Amir) to never forget Hassan's great loyalty and never stopped feeling guilty, which have him a strong reasons to repay the debt. Hassan’s loyalty is so great that it gives Amir the courage to stand up to Assef and endures the beating from him in order to save Hassan’s son.

At his birth, the Directory ruled France after the Reign of Terror imposed my Robespierre, but after many years and after multiple leaders and leaderships, Napoleon II was established as emperor.
