- 1021: Lord Of The Flies
- ... conscience, (good within Ralph) Jack representing Ralph's selfish greed, (evil within Ralph) and Simon representing truth (The median between good and evil). Of the three of them, the first to die is Simon. This death would probably be considered the most significant event in Ralph's dream, as it foreshadows what will happen later in the novel. Simon's murder takes place right after he finished talking to the Lord ... within everyone). When Simon returns from his journey (of finding the beast) to reveal the truth to everyone about the beast, everyone (who mistakes him for the beast) attacks him. The result being Simon's death. (Mind you, everyone includes Ralph (representing himself), Jack (evil), and Piggy (good)) Now you may interpret the reason everyone attacked Simon in 2 ways. One may interpret this death as 'it was dark, they misplaced him for the beast.', or one may look at Simon's death on a deeper level. However, I will explain that, as well as Piggy's death later ...
- 1022: Contrast In Language
- Contrast Between Language of Love in the Balcony Scene and the Language of Death in the Final Scene of Romeo and Juliet In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare introduces many themes that he continues throughout all of his tragedies, including the language of love vs. the language of death. The balcony scene is the most valuable scene illustrating the language of love, whereas in the final scene of the play the language of death is used to set the stage for their suicides, pulling together the tragic ending of the play. Throughout the second scene of Act II, Romeo uses beautiful metaphors and similes to express his affection ...
- 1023: Death Of Romeo And Juliet
- William Shakespeare, born in 1564, was famous for many of his fine play that was written in his period of time. Shakespeare's plays communicate a deep knowledge of the human behavior, revealed through portrayals of a wide ...
- 1024: Achilles
- ... of the major foci of the story. His actions of lack of actions have enormous effects upon how the plot unfolds. Starting with the fight with Agamemnon and his withdrawal from the battle, to the death of Patroklos, and finally to the slaying of Hektor, Achilles and his emotions decide the fate of many Greek and Trojan warriors. It is his struggle against his anger, pride, loyalty, and love that make ... the final book and is consistent with the character earlier in the poem. I believe the most speculation about inconsistencies in Achilles’ character would center on his savageness towards the Trojans, especially Hektor, after the death of Patroklos, and his sensitivity towards Priam’s plea for his son’s body. It could be considered odd that Achilles is so understanding to Priam and the burial of Priam’s son, when not ... the dogs, the man who slew Achilles’ dearest companion and led him to swallow his pride and return to the battlefield. I believe that this is not the same Achilles we saw prior to the death of his loving companion Patroklos. After Patroklos rode off into battle and was cut down by a mix of divine intervention and Hektor, grief and the desire to revenge the death of Patroklos consumed ...
- 1025: Antigone 10
- ... to the fact of his rule ending once his popularity declines. After the Sentry discovers Antigone as the culprit, he brings her in to the King. Creon sentences her to leave and be faced with death. "I will carry her far away/ Out there in the wilderness, and lock her/ Living in a vault of stone....And there let her pray to the gods of hell:/ They are her only gods:/ Perhaps they will show her an escape from death,/ Or she may learn, though late,/ That piety shown the dead is pity in vain." (Creon, 688-89) Not many people believe that what Antigone did is wrong. In fact, many would do the same if placed in her shoes. So again, this becomes another reason for the people of Thebes not to agree with King Creon. Once Creon realizes what he did by sending Antigone away for death, he wants to bring her back. He goes to obtain her and when he gets there, he discovers Antigone's dead body. This only makes the relationship worse between Creon and his people because ...
- 1026: Homers Vision Of The Duality O
- ... grave inhumanity on the battlefields of ancient Greece. These two opposing aspects of war and combat are seen throughout the poem. Homer repeatedly tells us in graphic and striking detail the savageness and cruelty of death in combat. We see through his descriptions and illustrations exactly what death in battle truly entails: the desolation, the devastation, the barbarity, and the terrible suffering. There is no honour whatsoever in military combat here. "Idomeneus stabbed Erymas in the mouth with the pitiless bronze, so that ... white bones splintered, and the teeth were shaken out with the stroke and both eyes filled up with blood, and gaping he blew a spray of blood through the nostrils and through his mouth, and death in a dark mist closed round about him. (16.345-350)" "Now Dekalion was struck in the arm, at a place in the elbow where the tendons come together. There through the arm Achilleus ...
- 1027: Emily Dickinson
- ... to find morning. It can be inferred that morning, something so common place and taken for granted, cannot be grasped by even the greatest so called minds. Emily also saw the frightful part of nature, death was an extension of the natural order. Probably the most prominent theme in her writing is death. She took death in a relatively casual way when compared to the puritan beliefs that surrounded her life. Death to her is just the next logical step to life and compares it to a carriage ride, or ...
- 1028: Holocaust 9
- ... spiritually. Some survivors are scarred so deeply they can not escape the past feelings and images of terror; they call this Survivor Syndrom. A Survivor is one who has encountered, been exposed to, or witnessed death, and has himself of herself remained alive. The symptoms affected not only survivors, but their families as well. The symptoms included an inability to work, and even at times to talk. The Jewish people fear ... became very common. There were also many feelings of guilt for having survived when others had not. "Why am I alive?" Why not my sister and brother...my whole family?" The survivors had thoughts of death, nightmares, panic attacks, and various other symptoms. Disinterest in life, people, and sometimes even in reality played a huge role in marital problems and suicide. There are five main categories of Survivor syndrome. The first is the Death imprint, which is the idea of not only death itself, but of all forms of torture and gruesome images of death. For many survivors they can recall the smell of smoke and the voices ...
- 1029: Assisted Suicide
- Assisted Suicide It is upsetting and depressing living life in the shadow of death. Many questions appear on this debatable topic, such as should we legalize euthanasia? What is euthanasia? What is assisted suicide? What is the difference between Passive and Active Euthanasia? What is Voluntary, Non-voluntary and Involuntary Euthanasia? What is Mercy Killing? What is "Death with dignity"? But if euthanasia was legalized, wouldn't patients then die peacefully rather than using plastic bags or other methods? And unfortunately the list continues. No one denies that there are many vulnerable persons ... whose families might, for selfish or downright malicious reasons, encourage them to seek assisted suicide. All kinds of people in difficult situations could be at risk of being intimidated or forced into feeling their early death would be a convenience to society. Section 241 is doubly flawed. It is not an especially effective drawback against those who seek to prey on the vulnerable, but at the same time it forces ...
