If you are raised with neglectful parents, you wouldn’t have a proper mentor to tell you what’s right and wrong, so that could cause you to do bad things and lose your innocence. Also, if you are raised with abusive and drunk parents, it could cause you to resent and hate them. An example of someone like that would be Johnny; he hates his parents so much that he refused his mother to let her see him in the hospital. “I've got a RIGHT to see him! He's my son!
This illustrates that he wanted to kill Doodle because he didn’t do anything. This further proves that he really wants a brother to play with because he wanted a brother to run with and box with. Also Brother at the end of the story cry when Doodle die but at the beginning of the story he wants to kill him, as Doodle dies in the rain he cries for him, but in begging of the story fells some sort of hate for him. Therefore, this shows that over the time of knowing Doodle he matured and saw that Doodle really wanted to do all he could and be the best brother he could. Moreover, Brother wants to help Doodle but at the end as he sees he pushed Doodle to hard he cried because he regret all he did to him and thought about him.
In the story the Narrator says to Doodle “Well, if you don’t keep trying, you’ll never learn” (page unknown). Being impatient made the Narrator push his brother beyond his limit and eventually lead to his death. The Narrator is also a cruel person. Ironically, the only person the Narrator was cruel towards was his brother. In the story the Narrator says “There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle” (page unknown).
Even before we see Abner Snopes, we learn that he is in trouble with the law and that—though Sarty is fiercely loyal to him—the loyalty is causing his son “despair and grief.” Snopes is silent, giving Sarty no relief from the terrifying demands confronting him—that is, being called as a witness for the prosecution, something requiring the loyal boy to lie because what he is being asked to do is in conflict with his self-appointed role of defense witness in the presence of all the “enemies” of his father and therefore, also, of himself (Faulkner 161). Snopes is accused of burning the barn of a decent man names Harris. Snopes’ hog got into his corn, he tells the Justice of the Peace, and he caught it and sent it back. The
Creon is sorry for what he was done, he repents, but it is already too late. He only finds true justice when everything he cared for was gone. Creon’s tragic flaw was that he was resolute; he did not want Polynieces to be buried. He received multiple warnings that this would lead to his downfall. He was put into the position of King.
He cares about her wife, Eurydice, as well because Creon wanted to suicide when he saw his son and wife died in scene 8. In the play Antigone, Creon is not a loving ruler because he is stubborn and doesn’t listen to advice and Creon doesn’t listen or believe the prophet. He only wants what he thinks is the best. He doesn’t even bother asking the people of Thebes for advice. He is a one man state and will only does what benefits the people of Thebes.
Johnny wants his family to accept him, he want to be loved by his parent. He has never gotten that love because his mother didn’t love him and his father was a drunken alcoholic, who abused him. He seeks acceptance from the gang, and although stabbing Bob, which is completely out of character, as Ponyboy says “Johnny is the quite one”. (chp.1). He does it to protect Pony and so the gang would love him more and let him be a part of it.
Ironically, Mercutio dies of a wound “occasioned partly by Romeo’s love, while Romeo, no less a man, will die not of a wound but of the poison he voluntarily takes for love” (Kahn 64). The men in the play are viewed to be under pressure. The fathers cannot perform as fathers and the sons cannot perform as sons. “The fathers cannot enforce the law so long as they themselves are living in a self-imposed condition of ‘mutiny’ or ‘rebellion’” (Appelbaum
In a dramatic dialogue with his father, Haemon defends the moral basis of Antigone's actions while warning his father that the people of Thebes sympathize with her determination to bury Polyneices. He and his father part in anger, as he simply asks his father to do what's right for Thebes, and his father stubbornly follows the path of least resistance. “Not here, no;she will not she will not die here, king. And you will never see my face again. Go on raving as long as you've a friend to endure you.” (3,132-134).
She said “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. (Genesis 4:1-2) Abel was in charge of keeping the flocks while Cain was in charge of soil. Both brothers gave offerings up to the Lord, but Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. Cain became very angry. Cain said to his brother “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
