This action leads to him being considered a tragic hero. Creon’s human flaw of arrogance causes him to ignore reasoning and advice and listen only to his own thoughts. He states, "My voice is the one voice giving orders in this city". He is afraid to go back on his word because it will hurt his pride and he is afraid that it will cause him to lose power with his subjects. This action causes him to lose everyone that he loves.
Another cause of process loss seen in the movie was the failure to share relevant information. For the opening stage of deliberations Mr. Davis says nothing of the doubts and theories he has on why the boy is innocent; the other jurors share the information that leads them to believe he is guilty and all come to the conclusion that he should be convicted. A very important aspect of group interactions closely related to process loss is groupthink. It is actually a cause of process loss where the cohesiveness of the group becomes more important to its members than actually considering the facts. This is incredibly applicable to the characters in the film because the very conditions that lead to groupthink are those that characterize a jury; the group must be cohesive,
However, the character meets his downfall by "succumbing to an effect caused by a flaw that is tragic” (Orwell). Winston is truly a heroic character because even though he dies while fighting or struggling to face the state which is depicted as a totalitarian, controlling all aspects of human life, he does not give up in his struggles. Winston is a man of high social nature, and this makes him a hero. He works for the Ministry of Truth as an outer party clerk. He does not belong to the “proles” who are the third class in the country living in filthy places.
where thou couldst have escaped me, - save on this very scaffold!” Chillingworth reveals his hypocrisy in this instance because he shows that he would rather chase Dimmesdale to the ends of the earth than allow the truth to come out. Certainly another evidence of Chillingworth’s hypocrisy can be seen through his appearances. Directly after Dimmesdale’s death, Hawthorne speaks of Chillingworth as having “positively withered up, shriveled away, and almost vanished from mortal sight.” Kirk says that “Chillingworth has become such a fiend that his very existence depends on Dimmesdale,” this explains the devastating effect the death of Dimmesdale has on
Through the characters’ actions, order was lowered deep in to the dark crevasse of chaos. Jack became rebellious and defiant against the leader Ralph. Jack created disorder and wanted Ralph revoked of his status. “Bullocks to the rules” (Golding 91). By Jack’s action of saying this, he made room for more anarchy that paved the road to disorder.
Readers are often angered by the ending of 1984 because of Winston’s betrayal of his previous life for the acceptance of the party. This is a semi-appropriate ending because of the impossibility of going against the party because of their total control of all people’s lives through the use of fear, which had not been accomplished by any authoritarian regime before the rise of the party. The novel’s ending was semi-appropriate because it stresses a society where all people are equal, but on the contrary makes it so that people must give up all of their freedoms and have all of their aspects of life controlled to conform to the standards of the society. The party controls people’s lives off of three founding philosophies “war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. (Orwell 26) War is peace refers to the fact that if the party always frames another enemy to direct all hate towards.
Machiavelli, sees the worst in people, he sees nothing worth liking when he views them. And because of this he believes that they should not have free will at all, in fact they should be suppressed by a strong central government. He goes on to say that the leader of this government should be as ruthless as necessary, and that he should not feel bad about anything that he has to do to keep the government in order. Machiavelli says that the ends always justify the means, and he goes on to say that if a government is weak internally then it is very possible and likely that they will be invade by outsiders who see these weaknesses and want to exploit them in order to defeat the culture. Machiavelli was correct with his prediction of this when the French invaded Italy in the 1490’s.
This shows that Rick really does not care about any of the politics happening and he just wants to go about his own business. The attitude Rick expresses at the beginning of the film is the same attitude most Americans had in regards to the war. It seems that Rick has allowed himself to become cynical because he feels that his earlier engagement with Ilsa, fighting against fascism in Spain, was a fool's game. He feels used and bitter, and he is convinced that he has been betrayed when he really was not. Although Rick starts out as a very selfish man who could care less about the politics going on in the world around him, he gradually changes throughout the film to become the unselfish man we see at the end of
Second, Creon abused his power by thinking that he can change or break the laws of the Gods and not allowing other people to break his laws. He did not want to burry Polyneices' body because he believe a traitor who fought against his home land doesn’t deserve the sane burial as a son who died defending his homeland , but one of the God's laws is that every
