Antigone was emotionally hurt in graving for the lost of her brother and angry that his body would suffer the horrors of nature’s ugly side of death that what is killed is eaten and taken back into the earth that created
For most of his professional life, Ray Lewis has tried to expiate his sin from the year 2000. The fans have been particularly draconian, however, to Ray. Some fans are xenophobic, as others are racist, and the idea of a black man committing murder and getting away with it is unbearable to them.

Amanda Porter 12 Angry Men GROUPTHINK VS. MINORITY INFLUENCE The jury situation portrayed in 12 Angry men had a lot of symptoms that would normally lead to a groupthink phenomenon. For example, the majority of the group had a belief in the moral correctness of their decision—they were punishing a bad person, they had a stereotyped view of the people who opposed them (bleeding heart, do-gooders). There was extreme pressure to conform, an illusion of unanimity (at least in the beginning), many of the jurors engaged in self-censorship (they didn’t initially voice their opinions) and strong personalities that were trying to push the group in a certain direction. Despite these symptoms, the minority was able to override the majority and sway the vote

The passive male was scorned and suffered much stigma “for having submitted to domination, being dependent, defeated, violated and effeminate.” As a result, society expected death to be the punishment for such a
He is also a hypocritical narrator, he continuously mentions how he hates movies yet he often watches them or talks of ones he has seen.

He openly glorifies Cordus and laughs at those who physically accused him as well as the person who was behind the accusations. More importantly, he compares the principate to tyranny, and this is where it is imperative to take Tacitus’ background into consideration. A large amount of Tacitus' real life was during the time that Domitian, the last emperor of the Flavian Dynasty, was in control. Domitian’s administration as emperor is overwhelmingly characterized with tyranny and corruption. This negative depiction of tyranny during Tacitus’ real life influences and can explain his bitter attitude toward signs of tyranny before his day, including this trial and death of Cordus which he holds as “cause célèbre” (L&R II,
