My honesty is broke, Elizabeth; I am no good man. “ Elizabeth: “And yet you’ve not confessed till now. That speaks goodness in you.” Proctor: “Spite only keeps me silent. It is hard to give a lie to dogs.” Proctor: “You are the high court, you word is good enough! Tell them I confessed myself; say Proctor broke to his knees and wept like a woman; say what you will, but my name cannot-“ Danforth, with suspicion: “It is the same, is it not?
What is morality? Is it what society decides is moral? Is it what God decides is moral? Webster’s Dictionary defines morality as, “a doctrine or system of moral conduct.” People define morality in their own way. Because he realizes that Jim is a human he decides to keep Jim’s escape a secret and lie for Jim, Huckleberry Finn shows that he doesn’t live by society’s morals, but that he creates his own.
If ‘Othello’ was a racist play then Othello would have been portayed very differently, more violent and rude, however he is shown as being much more respectful and calmer than the other men around him as illustrated in the quote, ‘approved good masters’. He then continues on to admit that he has indeed planned to marry Brabantio’s daughter, ‘it is most true; true that I have married her’. It was a stereotype in those days that black people were very sly and lied a lot, however the stereotype seemed to have been very wrongful in this case because Othello very bravely admitted to his actions and also says that that is the only ‘offense’ that he has commited, ‘The very head and front of my offending hath this extent, no more.’ A Shakespearian audience would normally expect a black man to be portayed as a very uneducated, sly and devilish character however these qualities are shown in Brabantio instead of Othello. Othello then talks about how he is a fighter, nothing more,
She goes on to say, "God is just one idea I don't accept I get tired of Him getting credit for all the things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no God- there is only man and it is he who makes miracles." Lena rises across the room and slaps Beneatha in the face. She is so intolerant of Beneatha's beliefs that she makes her say, "In my mother's house there is still God." Which may have consoled her but had little effect on Beneatha who then says (after Lena leaves the room) “Everybody thinks it’s alright for Mama to be a tyrant.

(Page 2) Continues with communists stating once aware of himself man cannot interact with others. This presents a direct conflict with communist dogma, for if man cannot associate with others once aware then the possibility of an equatarian society isn’t possible. Christian outlook is without God there is no moral compass, and thus humanity is free to do whatever they want, or simply doomed to destroying the fragile society built over the centuries. To them it is unfathomable that we as a species can continue without an overseer keeping us in check (aka God) by judging our every action. Sartre addresses both concerns for the first time stating that all truths and knowledge is only realitive through the lens of humanity.
Hester is the least sinful because she only committed adultrey and that she never told Arthur chillingworth was her husband. The next most sinful person is Reverend Arthur dimmesdale. For example, When the puritans trusted him and thought " Wow he is an amazing minister!" little did they all know that he was a father to little pearl.

Then it went 30 years further back, to explain why she vanquished their fathers. This creates a little bit of mystery as well as going back in time to explain her.

“I shall make a proclamation, speaking as one who has no connection with this affair, nor with the murderer” (Sophocles 14). It is perceived here that to Oedipus, he has no relativity to the death of Laius or to his murderer, but the truth is that Oedipus does have all the connection there is to have with both because he is the murderer of Laius. “Insult me, go on-but that, you will find, is what makes me great” (Sophocles 30). It is intended here that Oedipus doesn’t care if Tiresias insults him because he believe he has already saved Thebes and believes he will rid the city of Laius’ killer, but it is unintended that the insults are actually the truth of Oedipus, that they are the answers which he is looking for which ultimately dooms Thebes because Oedipus doesn’t realize he is Laius’ murderer. “If it turns out that he tells the same story as you-then I, at least, will be cleared of responsibility” (Sophocles 58).
