    what Socrates tells the jurymen‚ “keep this one truth in mind‚ that a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death…” is meant to imply that regardless of what kind of people will tarnish a good man’s reputation‚ it will have no effect on their legacy.

    Socrates’ take on justice was a rather controversial viewpoint for his era‚ in that he opined about virtues men should possess and strive for that they might otherwise have no desire to obtain. A just man strives to promote justice for the sake of justice in itself. He‚ as one who is good‚ seeks to further justice because it fulfills his daimon‚ or nature. The nature of man is therefore‚ naturally‚ to do the right and proper thing. Good‚ as the nature of man‚ is what man desires‚ needs‚ and yet also

    Evil can often be seen in plain sight‚ but it can just as easily be hidden. Religion‚ however‚ can almost never be hidden due to evangelization. The combination of the two is rarely seen unless religion is used as a cover for evil. The grandmother‚ a nontraditional antagonist‚ exemplifies the combination of religion and evil‚ but she only sees herself as religious when truly she is only evil. However‚ the misfit‚ a conventional antagonist‚ knows he is evil and embraces it. In the short story
