Therefore, the storyline’s progression supports Karl’s ability to grow and learn as a human being. Even as a man with a disability, he knows the difference between good and evil. In a twisted way, Karl redeemed himself from killing his mother, because there was no justice to killing her; meaning she was innocent. With Doyle, Karl killed a man for being abusive, a terrible role model, and for having an issue with people who are different. Compare to when he was 12, Karl knew what he was doing when he killed Doyle, he did not flee the scene of the crime because we know he called the police on
As soon as he found out that Lennie was being hunted down by the men on the ranch, especially Curley, he didn’t try to stop it or convince the men to re-think their actions. Once George told him of his plan to kill Lennie himself, Slim understood but he didn’t actually try to help them avoid the situation. He could have done so by encouraging them to run away and he could have given them some money to give them a head-start. I do agree to a great deal that Slim is a positive role-model for those around him. He possesses positive traits like believing in equality and trying to do the best by those around him.
This left 6 of his men dead. Odysseus also way too much pride, he shouldn’t of told the Cyclops his name or where he lives. He shouldn't have given information. It would have been better if he would have just snuck-out with stealth. An other example of his pride being way to much is when Odysseus taunts the blinded Polyphemos until the Cyclops responds by heaving massive boulders.
General Zaroff is also different from Mr. Hyde because Zaroff gets joy from hunting people but he doesn’t care about when he kills them. Mr. Hyde just enjoys the killing when he is in control of Dr.
Why does this sturdy soldier become a mean killer and, worse, a hirer of thugs to do his killing for him even when he himself acknowledges that his actions are sure to bring retribution upon him? Why does Lady Macbeth feel it is in her duty as a ‘loving’ wife to drive them both into evil ways? And why do so many good men allow this vicious couple to gain total power and ruin the state of Scotland? Some aspects of the Macbeth story have become horribly familiar in our world today. Several modern rulers (from everyday fathers to leaders of the country) have begun as ‘brave soldiers’ and ended as crazy destroyers because of their poor choices and the consequences.
Here is High Noon’s plot in brief for those who didn’t see it: Marshal Gary Cooper is ready to leave the town for his honeymoon, but stays to save the town from bad guys. He goes around the town seeking deputies, but no one wants to help him. Even his brand new wife leaves him. So, he does the dirty job alone – kills the bad guys, whom he sentenced to prison a couple of years ago, after which a corrupt judge freed them. According to Hawks, Rio Bravo was made as a riposte to High Noon.
In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Rainsford kills the General out of pure self-defense. General Zaroff was the man who started “the most dangerous game,” when Rainsford objected. The only choice Rainsford had, in order to get himself off the island alive, was to kill him.
Now it’s ironic how they were great friends and companions towards each other, however Macbeth is the one who ultimately kills Banquo without even laying a finger on him. Macbeth’s guilt from Duncan’s murder carried on in Macbeth’s life, as he was too scared to fight off this darkness. Now Macbeth was faced with a decision whether or not to murder Banquo to keep his royal prophecies true. With the help of his gang, the decision was clear enough for him not to pass. Instead of Macbeth directly killing Banquo, Macbeth hired his gang members to act out this murder.
“Oh yes, dear child. You will still be able to visit the boys but be careful. They will try and manipulate you to kill yourself to free them. I need you to understand that under any circumstances don’t do as they say. It takes many years for someone to be fully persuaded and for that length of time you have nothing to do in here.” “Joanna, we need to leave now” “Before you leave, I need you to take one of my hands and take me outside.” “Why would we do something like that when you just got our boyfriends to kill themselves?” Joanna thought.
In the end Rainsford is the winner of the game but by winning the game he has become just like that dead general. Rainsford refused the hunting offer from Zaroff because they where hunting helpless humans who happen to make it to the island and Rainsford was not going to hunt a human being but when Rainsford killed the general, he killed him after the game was over, and Rainsford became what he had set out not to be, general Zaroff. In the end one will see that ironic reversal was used all throughout the story with the characters as well as the plot. To be successful, the hunter must become the hunted (Magill 1537). In the final battle between Rainsford and Zaroff it is easy to see the irony in Rainsford conquering murderer by killing him (Magill
