Dumas showed the readers that forgiveness ultimately leaves one feeling more satisfied than revenge. The theme of fate vs. free will is dealt with mostly by the count, but also by others seeking to control the fate of themselves and those around them. The count thinks he is sent as an instrument of God, and the only reason he was freed from prison, was to give the men who wronged him their deserved fate. Even the count realizes he can’t control fate once an innocent boy is killed because of his actions. Mercedes is also, when talking to Edmond, talking about how fate has turned her old, and her lack of faith his why it did so.
In the novel, the boys are at an age where they are unaware of how things are to be run in a community, so this causes split parties. Golden uses the ideas of civilization and Savagery to describe innate evil in human nature. Though it may be obvious that order is superior over chaos for a society to be successful. 4B. 1.

The title itself implies no judgment, just as Orwell in this essay makes none explicit. This lack of emotions is unnatural because humans are social creatures whose everyday lives run on emotive societal interactions. Further into the narrative Orwell begins to show us his opinion on the inhumane act of killing a person. The narrator, a warden, has an epiphany on the value of human life when the convicts side-steps a puddle of water on the way to the gallows. Orwell portrays the convict as being a conscious and rational man who is capable of reform.
I don’t approve of the killings but it does make sense. Watching a lot of crime solving shows, I know that murderers have pretty bad back-stories such as people or parents abandoning them, which is like the monster. I honestly think he should be blamed for them but instead of being put in jail, he should be given help that he needs. I feel as if the monster didn’t know what he was capable of and he was just trying to get Victor’s attention. I do believe Victor got what was coming to him.
The author has described it in a narrative but realistic manner rather than presenting his personal point of view. Both in language and culture, the fundamental moral message that literature hopes to disclose is that through reading and learning from life and our surroundings, we can all magnify our moral attitudes and practices. Regarding this point, the main intention here is to be aware of this rich legacy that writers like David Mitchell have accomplished, in order to ignite a moral spark, and a new way of thinking upon new generations like mine. Looking at different perspectives, this whole essay demonstrates that morality is treated in a conceivable way; the limits of our own imagination are forsaken to create unique artistic pieces, transmitting an overall
He is able to see several sociological effects such as coercion, conflict, conformity and in his case diffusion of responsibility. His work showed how the leader of a group can sway people to do bad things like Hitler and Stalin did. The Lucifer Effect: Understanding how good people Turn Evil Contributing or challenging my thinking on the subject My opinion on leaders and followers were substantiated by the research of Philip Zimbardo he finds that at first the guards treat the inmates like a normal person but when one of the guards decides to become the “leader” and begins dehumanizing the inmates the other guards quickly join in. Without knowing what the guards (students) were actually thinking I can only determine that the students stereotyped the guards and inmates to play the roles they were assigned. The fact that one person becoming the leader of a group with a few hardcore members can coerce
‘I knew well that I risked death ‘, not accidental, scientific method, and this experiment leads to Hyde becoming Jekyll’s reward, not a punishment. He does not make a potion that removes his evil sides but one that helps him get rid of his guilt. Because Jekyll remembers and he is aware of everything he does when he is Hyde, we can claim that he is in control. However, he then loses control, lacking any sense of moderation ‘strange in my sensations’. Here we could say that he becomes an ‘unhappy victim’ of his own crime, as he is heading toward his ultimate downfall.
In the assertion ‘all people are good, but it’s the external forces of society that make a man evil’ I immediately think of the ‘Ballad of Joe Meek’. Joe Meek was generally a ‘good’ person before his encounter with the police officers. He had good intentions by telling the police officers they were wrong for putting their hands on the young woman, but the blatant disrespect the police officers showed him changed his outlook. The actions taken by the police officers stand as the external forces or catalysts for Joe Meek’s violent rampage. Back in our ‘Rise of Man’ unit, many people in the class agreed that the quality that makes man is the ability to be shaped by our experiences.
This ironic hindsight into the war also gives the audience a sense of the inspector's wisdom. He is portrayed as the conscience because all throught the play the Inspector is seen as guiding the Birling's away from sin, trying to teach them selflessness and responsibilty for others, in this sense the style of the play is one of morality.We see an opinion of responsibility through the inspector's attitude torwards the sinful actions of the Birling family. He attempts to make Sheila accept her share of the blame 'you're partly to blame'. The Inspector's speech on page 56 of the play clarifies for the audience and
Both Hindley and the Lintons treat him as an unwanted interloper and this obviously affects Heathcliff’s behaviour and attitudes within the novel. Subsequent to the death of Mr Earnshaw, Hindley is able to treat Heathcliff in any way he desires and therefore relegates him to the status of servant and seems to encourage others to do the same. Whilst Heathcliff wishes (if only temporarily) that he ‘”was dressed and behaved as well”’ as Edgar, he cannot avoid acting out his violent nature when Edgar is rude to him. Heathcliff seems to have learned some of his bad behaviour from Hindley whose ‘bad ways and bad companions formed a pretty example for Catherine and Heathcliff’ after the death of Frances. I believe that, whilst the treatment meted out to Heathcliff by these characters is obvious prejudice, it does not particularly affect him.
