Brutus was the noblest roman who wanted what was in the best interest for the roman population. Brutus’s tragic flaw was that he was too trusting. He honestly felt that he had to kill Caesar in order to save Rome from tyranny. He trusted Mark Antony not to blame the conspirators in his speech at Caesar’s funeral. Mark Antony broke his promise and got Brutus and the others into deep trouble. Brutus indeed ended up in a position‚ from his own actions‚ that is tragic to the reader. In the play The

Throughout the story‚ the sniper manages to instinctively kill person after person without any remorse or even the slightest sign of emotion. He even managed to kill an old woman simply because she was a possible informant and a threat to his safety.

Instead he feels nothing of it except that “heaven hath pleased it so‚ to punish me with this and this with me” and that he “must be cruel to be kind” (III‚ iv‚ 175-180). Not only is a strange kind of remorse found in place of his guilt‚ but he also tries to justify his actions‚ disregarding what is morally right. Like Hamlet‚ Claudius lacks the guilt that morality would provide in such situations. Claudius‚ in a jealous act of revenge killed his

Corruption‚ noun‚ means dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power. When Hamlet is truly analyzed‚ along with the characters‚ you would see corruption is a similar trait going along. One could say corruption is the play itself. To quote William Shakespeare‚ ‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark’ (1.4). The first character to talk about‚ the obvious one‚ is Claudius. Claudius’ need for power causes him to murder his brother and take the throne. In act 1 scene 5 the Ghost of Hamlet Sr

Survival and Immaturity Mother bears leave their cubs after only 7 months after birth; humans however take eighteen years to let their children be free. This might be because the human brain takes twenty-five years to fully develop‚ making people under this age more likely to have a lesser understanding of how the world works. In William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies‚ he shows that what can be perceived as natural evil is just an act of survival caused by immaturity. The perception of evil has

And he supports his argument very compellingly with ample evidence from the story‚ such as pointing out the extremity of Montresor’s revenge and his lack of remorse for killing Fortunato. Of course‚ one can debate whether or not Montresor feels remorse for the murder; nevertheless‚ Holte does make a persuasive argument.
