The nurses felt the same anger as the other women prisoners at their own lack of power and the same repugnance to be sex servants, and as women in the military they had additional worries. They were conscious of their duty not to assist the enemy, and by appearing to cooperate with the Japanese could have faced degrading enquiries and court charges in the after the war; they knew the Japanese as the soldiers who had inflicted terrible injuries on the Australians they had nursed in the crowded temporary hospitals of Malaya and Singapore and as the murderers of 21 of their fellow nurses on the beach; and they feared that even if they survived the experience and were not formally charged with any offence their personal and professional lives after the war would be destroyed. If things came to the worst, they wondered if an individual nurse could attach herself to a particular Japanese in the hope that he might protect her from the others, and if they could ensure silence among themselves as a group. When the Japanese told Sister Win Davis what she had to do or be killed, she said that she chose death. At the time it was not an unlikely alternative.
Esmeralda doesn’t fit into suburbia also she is obsessive which makes her neighbour think that she is a freak. In the scene when Edward is talking to peg, Esmeralda interrupts them and stars perching her thoughts about Edward and saying that he is ‘the devil incarnate.’ Esmeralda is a good example of personal suffering because she is excluded and marginalized by her suburban community. Pegs
Who weeps for these, weeps for corruption.” says Danforth to the crowd because John Proctor was standing up to him and he ripped up he confession and speaking of the truth. The vindictive trait that is present in McCarthy, who distorted evidence and manipulated people. An example of a person who was innocently accused is Rebecca Nurse from “The Crucible” who represents Lillian Hellmann. Rebecca was as woman with up holding morals, which is evident when she refused to confess the names of other “witches”. She does not want to get caught in a web of lies.
Throughout John Steinbeck's The Pearl, among the most controversial topics, greed and prejudice are most prevalent. From the beginning with the evil doctor, up until the very stunning conclusion. Some examples of prejudice include: the priest considered Kino’s people as children, everyone thinking Kino is a dumb Indian (doctor & pearl buyers), Kino is distrustful to all whites because they spoke to Indians as if they were animals, etc. Some examples of greed include: pearl buyers wanting to keep most of the profit from the pearl, townspeople always wanting something from Kino, Kino’s yearning for so many items after he discovers the pearl, doctor refusing to treat Coyotito up until the pearl was found, etc. Greed, or avarice, is known as an intense feeling of want or need.
Meetings involving town councils analyzed the poor as those “unwilling to work” as well as being “harmful to the public good” and not to mention their actions to “expel the poor from the city” (Doc.5). France’s Cardinal Richelieu added to that by stating that they have turned to begging and stealing from the sick (Doc. 8). Due to their crimes, this lead society to alienate them. Netherland’s Emperor Charles V stated, “If begging for alms is permitted to everyone indiscriminately, many errors and abuse will result for they will fall into idleness, which is the beginning of all evil” (Doc.4).
The reader now thinks that Curley’s wife was misunderstood, lonely and didn’t deserve the abusive comments she received. Candy then says ‘you ain’t wanted here’ making the reader feel more apologetic towards her. Despite this she calls them ‘a bunch of bindle stiffs’ and claims that she is only there because ‘they ain’t nobody else’. She then turned on crooks ‘in scorn “listen nigger”’ this is very cruel and spiteful but maybe she was only retaliating. She also tries to ally with them when she says ‘I’d like to bust him myself’, she is referring to Curley and says how she also hates him too.
This in itself raises question to Abigail’s character and if she is indeed as innocent as she portrays. She replies “She hates me, uncle, she must, for I would not be her slave. It’s a bitter woman, a lying, cold, sniveling woman, and I will not work for such a woman!” but later to John Proctor she makes it known that she was rather put out due to his affair with her (12). The readers view of her is even greater diminished when it comes to his attention that she lies to Reverend Proctor about the events that took place in the woods with the other girls and has them also lying. She even tells John Proctor “Oh posh!
The women decided that they would falsely accuse these men in order to avoid being caught for prostitution and also for not paying the train ticket. (Faulkner 418-419) The To Kill a Mockingbird Trial was about Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell. Mayella was the daughter of a very poor white family and to the townsmen they were known as white trash. They lived behind the garbage dump in Maycomb. The Ewells were known for being rude and inconsiderate.
The lack of freedom as well as the inability to make my own decision since that was his rule is a common aspect founded in the other writings. I made a turning point in my life and decided to divorce. There is also an horrible mistake he made which I think is very personal and I truly can not share that one with you but I give you permission to think that idea was cruel. My turning point relates to Dr .King’s letter in the sense that he mentioned the humiliation that black people endure back then. For instance,’’…When you are humiliated day in and out by nagging signs reading’’white ‘’and
Atwood’s list of reasons that explain Webster’s hanging draw up two conclusions about the party who commit her botched execution: they dislike the notion that Webster is an independent woman, and they dislike the unique aspects of her physical appearance. With such contempt running rampant, the society within “Half-Hanged Mary” requires an outlet for their scornful emotions toward Webster, and consequently throws accusations of witchcraft at her in order to attain a blamable individual. On the whole, society requires a scapegoat to pelt with acts of vengeance, whether that scapegoat is a member of the larger social order or
