She didn’t get any benefits from Duncan’s death, and felt nothing but sorry for her actions. Macbeth kept returning to the actual murder, his source of guilt, yet he received many benefits from Duncan’s death. He became king and received the admiration of Scotland. When he returned to the murder, he felt guilty, but the benefits he reaped outweighed the psychological guilt. The remorse Macbeth felt was for the physical action of killing Duncan, while Lady Macbeth’s was felt on a deeper level, regretting instilling the murder plan that started everything.
They resisted to the system, knowing that the demand for troops and solders are increasing massively and that death and wounds needed replacing. Of course the most despised amongst the conscientious objectors are the absolutist who did nothing to aid the war. Although Conscientious Objectors were not seen as a good example back in the day, in the modern world they are considered as one of the bravest people. They were the ones who are willing to voice out their opinions on the war, even with a death threat hanging directly above them. They were the ones who stood their ground, no matter how harshly treated, abused and tortured their lives were.
He believed he was on the position to serve his country and his people without any expectation. Aristides handled any contradictions against him peacefully, and he believed in his duty as a citizen, of autocratic politicization, he would give his service to Greek at all times freely and without reward of any compensation or even popularity (112). In general the two leaders, Themistocles and Aristides, had contributed their role to Greek. Based on Plutarch’s written, Aristides became a sturdy champion of justice who was a little swayed by personal sympathy. On the other hand, Themistocles became champion of people; he was not swayed by any desire to take revenge on his countrymen, nor was he elated by the great power position which he would enjoy in the war
This essay will examine these questions and illustrate the justification of Marcus Brutus betraying and killing Julius Caesar. Marcus Brutus is sometimes considered to be a “tragic hero” because of the role he played in the assassination of Caesar, the tragedy of his father’s death and the outcome of his choices in life. Looking into the underlying flaws within the tragic hero reviles a trustworthy nature which inhibits his ability to judge the character of others. Plutarch described Brutus as a marvelous lowly and gentle person, noble minded, and would never be in any rage, nor carried away with pleasure and covetousness; but had an upright mind and would never yield to any wrong or injustice. Brutus' tragic flaw is that he is nationalistic, very gullible, and is too honest.
Surviving is not only about getting through something challenging, but it is also about having to live with the memory of it. “For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” That statement was made by the one and only Eliezer Wiesel from his book “Night”. He basically said that it is wrong to forget about the people who have died and that future generations shouldn’t be stripped of the past in which he has to live on to remember for the rest of his life.
I should be damned for persuading men to lie. And Goody Nurse, ohh bless such a good soul. I could not bear to see such a pure person be hanged. I pleaded to Hathorne that if this Rebecca Nurse is tainted, then nothing’s left to stop the whole green world from burning. But he had been deceived by such act.
Antigone’s pride came from her respect for her family and honoring the gods and their divine law, while Creon’s pride was an arrogant trait. Tiresias, the blind prophet claims Creon will lose his family for the crimes of leaving Polyneices unburied. Creon later realizes his mistaken pride. For example, “Fate has brought all of my pride to a thought of dust (Creon, Exodus).” This quote reveals that Tiresias’ prophecy or fate had portrayed Creon’s downfall, yet still filled with pride, refused to admit to his wrong doing. After Creon’s family’s deaths, Creon’s pride crumbles as he realizes he was wrong in his actions.
He presents historical allusions in his speech. He provides this in order to promote trust with his audience. Kennedy demonstrates a tone of trustworthiness to convince the audience they did well in electing him. Kennedy states, “And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.” Is a reference towards the Monroe Doctrine, help the citizens realize that they are powerful and help other countries escape their misfortune. Another example is “With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deed,” this goes back to president Lincoln second inaugural speech.
187 The fact that this man, a man of integrity and heart died because he didn’t fallow America’s way of business is distressing. This man’s whole goal was to help the people in need in his land, and America hated that. Because he refused to bow down to America our presidents thought he was a liability and he lost his life. How can we as Americans not feel like we are the world’s whole issue? We are the reason our world is crashing right before our eyes.
Patriotism now meant that one would not only die for his country, but also that the government would guarantee social, political, and racial equality (O’Leary 112). Instead of bickering amongst themselves the people united to form a strong force that was willing to back up their government and its ideals. With an entire nation united, much can be accomplished at almost instantaneous
