Tybalt completely forgets about Mercutio and says to him “Well, peace be with you, sir. Here comes my man.” This quote suggests that Tybalt was looking for Romeo and he saw his enemy. While Romeo and Tybalt are still arguing about their hatreds towards each other, Romeo gets insulted by Tybalt by calling him a “villain”. This was insult towards Romeo because in the reign of the Elizabethan time that word was very insulting especially for someone like Romeo as he comes from a noble family. Mercutio joins in the conversation and says “O calm, dishonorable, vile submission!
In the Inferno, Dante uses many examples to demonstrate the theme of justice. Dante starts at the Gate of Hell and will eventually find his way down to circle nine. The circles are organized according to the gravity of the sin involved. The worse the sinner, the farther down into Hell they will fall. God created Hell as a place to put sinners because they do not deserve his love.

In regards to their leaders murder, the Romans turned against the senate, there for Antony’s speech was more persuading than Brutus’s. Antony’s speech uses ethos and pathos to evoke the heavyhearted emotions from the Roman citizens. Antony walks up to present himself with Caesar in his arms “I come to bury Caesar not to praise him” (6). He is preaching to the people that he was not Caesar’s friend.

There are many characters who undergo the process of sin and redemption. Baba’s sin amassed immense guilt in that he was meant to be a man of great honour and respect yet he was drawn into an affair with a Hazara woman. Rahim Khan wrote to Amir “Real good, was born out of your father’s remorse.” Baba saw redemption in feeding the poor, building the orphanage and giving money to friends in need. His search for redemption caused him to grow in character and ultimately become a better person. Sohrab asked ”Will god put me in hell for what I did to that man?” Sohrab sought forgiveness from both god and his father who he highly respected.
He wears a scarlet letter on his soul which ruins his inner self more than any scarlet letter worn in public and this internal scarlet letter greatly contributes to the increasing decay of his soul. Also being known as a pious and blameless reverend worsens his emotional state, for Dimmesdale can not handle living a lie and having to accept the constant compliments of his peers, all the while knowing his outward persona is a lie. The fact that he must receive these compliments without correcting them only increases his guilt. He goes on to say that he is “all falsehood, all emptiness all death”(151), which perfectly describes Dimmesdale’s current emotional state. He is a living, breathing representation of hypocrisy and being such a symbol takes a great toll on him emotionally.

This is another reason why I chose these certain lines. I really like how something like the death of a loved one hits each man a little different but they are both sad, they both need to mourn, and what is really amazing about it is that no one else can quite understand what they are going through but each other. And the fact that they are enemies and they are the only ones who understand each other is so cool, I
Saying that he wasn’t praising Caesar also appeals to the audience because right now, they are hating Caesar. During the speech, he uses rhetorical irony, and attacks the ethos of Brutus. He constantly and sarcastically repeats that Brutus is an “honorable man”, after he puts Caesar’s image up each time. This key strategy makes the people question Brutus’s honor and character. Pathos is the appeal to the emotion, and is the most often used rhetorical strategy in both Brutus’s and Antony’s speech.
When looking at the Devil during the Middle Ages I think it is important to differentiate between two roles that, I personally, have been able to identify over the course of my investigation. Firstly the Devil’s symbolic role as an individual creature responsible for torturing and supervising the condemned in Hell. And secondly the more realistic appearance of multiple devils that all aim to spoil or possess one’s soul through temptation etc. One can ask: Was he punisher or tempter? – I believe he was both.
