we as a class were asked whether or not it is considered okay to kill someone but like a ballot there were mixed results. This can branch out into many different topics ranging from abortion to downright murder.

They simply wanted enough limitations on the king’s power that would guarantee the people certain rights that the king

It was unjustified for Clytaemnestra to murder Agamemnon on the basis of revenge for their daughter Iphigenia because of how long it had been‚ the fact that it was done for the greater good and because of Clytaemnestras’ infidelity to Agamemnon. This is summed up elegantly by the chorus of old men when they say to Clytaemnestra‚ “…And You‚ innocent of his murder? And who could swear to that? and how?...” (A‚ 1534-35). One reads very early on in the book of Agamemnon that “Ten years gone‚ ten to

I think that Hop Frog is justified for killing the king and his seven ministers because of how cruel they were towards Hop Frog and Trippetta. During the wine scene in the story‚ the king exhibits his cruel nature by forcing Hop Frog to drink the wine. Even though the king knows that Hop Frog is not comfortable doing it he still makes him‚ knowing very well how it affects Hop Frog. The other seven ministers do not take pity of Hop Frog‚ even they smirk and laugh at the king’s horribly cruel stunt
