He doesn’t know every little detail of everyone’s life, so how is he to know? What gives him the right to take God’s judgement seat and choose where everyone goes? That’s not the kind of image or message you want to send to someone who you’re trying to save. If the only reason they joined is because they were terrified out of their mind, then it was kind of pointless. They don’t really believe in it, they just did it to save their own skin.
I don’t consider your / Pronouncements so important that they can / Just…overrule the unwritten laws of heaven. / You are a man, remember” (Sophocles 12). This seen illustrates, that Creon does think he is god, and has no respect for the real gods. Antigone in so many words is explaining to him that he is wrong, and a person should not be denied burial rights for any reason. Creon does not like her explanation, and explains that “I don’t care if she is my sister’s daughter.
After they both died, Creon took the throne. The burial of Polyneices, punishment, and eventual suicide were done out of tradition, family, respect, and religion. To bury Polynecies, is a political move but it was a direct religious move. The Gods call for proper burial, which was not followed through on Creon's part. Staying true to a desired faith means one must not falter in his or her beliefs.
The creation of the monster, and the subsequent disasters that take place, all stem from Victors lack of sensibility. Blinded by his personal quest to create unnatural life, he does not consider that anything negative could arise from his experiments. After experiencing these negative effects he states: “Great God! If for one instant I had thought what might be the hellish intention of my fiendish adversary, I would rather have banished myself forever from my native country and wandered a friendless outcast over the earth than have consented to this miserable marriage” (Shelley 174). Victor feels that if he would have thought about the consequences of his creation, he would have not participated in the creation of the creature.
Right and wrong is a reflection of people’s emotions, and as emotions vary, they can never have the same views on subjects. For example, a murderer could justify his actions as being "God's will" whereas many people would say that it’s wrong; not because of the moral rules, but because of moral values. Not everyone is religious and so will not accept his reason for murder. Natural Law has also not been proven so there is no point in pursuing the belief in them. Some may argue that murder, genocide, rape etc are universally wrong, but not everyone believes that.
It was the ultimate act of friendship and sacrifice, on George's part, to kill Lennie. He knew that Lennie would be lynched and hung for murdering Curley's wife. He also knew that Lennie didn't know any better, he had no idea the power of his own strength, he did not fully know the ramifications of what he had done, but he did know that it was bad and that he might get into trouble. George basically spared Lennie from a death filled with pain and suffering and Lennie almost had this moment of clarity when he knows what George has to do and he's ok with it. 3.
DID HE HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE? In ma opinion I would say this is a grey situation meaning that it’s not black and it’s not white its in the middle, basically it’s a 2 sided case. I would start off by saying lennie had no right to act as God in taking his best friend’s life just because he made a mistake, God is the giver and taker of life so George had no right to take lennie’s life. There are many other ways in which George could have dealt with lennie for instance he could have taken lennie to the police, if he could have killed someone like a brother to him just like that then obviously he could have easily taken him 2 the police station and left him there to be taken care of. He could have easily told the police men what was wrong
Those against it, believe life is given by God, and he decides when to end it. All Christian Variants are opposed to Euthanasia, as they believe the direct and voluntary killing of human life is wrong. They believe Euthanasia violates the fact that humans are created in Gods image (imagio dei) and only God is able to end someones life. No Christian has the right to terminate life, "for everything there is a reason....a time to be born, and a time to die"(Ecclesiastes
I ain't mad. I never been mad, an' I ain't now. That's a thing I want ya to know." Showing that George kills his friend out of mercy and to spare him from any further suffering, making Lennie’s death euthanasia. Murder is not justified under any circumstance.
With the knowledge that this innocent man would then be accused of witchcraft as well, the courageous Giles refuses to reveal this innocent man’s name. This direct defiance of the court took great courage, but lead to an accusation against him. He sacrificed himself for another, and there is no greater sacrifice. Believing that he would not get a fair trial, Giles decides to not plead “aye” or “nay” against the charges brought before him. He did this so that his land could be passed to his children, but the way they make accused individuals plead is by placing large rocks upon them until they plead.
