- 1141: Hamlet: Moral Order
- ... father, but then plots to do away with Hamlet as soon as he feels threatened. As the play progresses, Hamlet continues attempting to right the original wrong, but only succeeds at the finish, with Claudius' death. Hamlet's words in Act III, Scene IV -- "thus bad begins, and worse remains behind" illustrate the moral order well; the actions against him were wrong, but, to a lesser extent, so was his revenge ... Hamlet, who was returned from abroad, in a rigged fencing match or, failing that, with poisoned wine. Claudius virtually absolves himself of all guilt in Polonius' murder and uses his son to plot Hamlet's death. These actions, again, morally wrong, once again outweigh Hamlet's. During t he duel between Laertes and Hamlet, after Hamlet is wounded with the poisoned sword, their swords are exchanged in the battle and Laertes ... Gertrude drinks the poisoned glass of wine meant for Hamlet, and before dying manages to tell Hamlet the wine was poisoned. As Hamlet attempts to find the murderer, Laertes tells him they are both near death and the King is to blame, at which point Hamlet finally murders him, before he himself dies. The conclusion of the play straightens out all moral questions, especially the first; Claudius' killing of the ...
- 1142: The Black Panther Party
- ... 4, 1968, Martin Luther King is killed. Immediately people comment on the irony: we have criticized King for his nonviolent strategy, and now he's dead by an assassin's bullet (Hilliard 182). With the death of Martin, the Panthers do things their way. "Nonviolence has died with King's death." This is our general consensus: no more hoses, whippings, and dogs. People shouldn't be asked to bleed peacefully, Malcolm has said. People are too busy singing; they'd better start swinging. Now people will ... support us (Hilliard182). Malcolm X was quoted saying "there is no such thing as a bloodless revolution, and we were soldiers prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. I lived each day with the possibility of death." These were the same words in which Huey N. and Bobby S. and the rest of the Panthers' lived by. Two days after King's death, the first BPP member to join was gunned ...

- ... opposition soon included all Jews, Gypsies, and certain other groups. By 1939 there were six camps: Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Flossenburg, and Ravensbruck. Auschwitz Auschwitz, or Auschwitz-Birkenau, is the best-known of all Nazi death camps, though Auschwitz was just one of six extermination camps. It was also a labor concentration camp, extracting prisoners' value from them, in the form of hard labor, for weeks or months. Auschwitz was the ... Jews who had just been gassed. All prisoners who were selected for forced labor were tattooed with numbers on their left arms. Any slip, outburst, or failure to comply with the guards resulted in immediate death.

She kills Schillinger with his own gun and wounds another guard before she is machine-gunned to her own death.

A list of some of the first camps ...
- 1144: Franz Kafka
- Franz Kafka was different, a man bent on portraying changes everywhere. Kafka was also a man consumed by death, consumed by the fact that he might eventually die. One man who was greatly affected by his fathers negligence of him, and a social deviance about him which held him back from interaction. Such a ... Sometimes I d like to stuff all Jews (myself included) into a drawer of a laundry basket-then open it to see if they ve suffocated. As anyone can see, Kafka was enormously enticed by death, and the fact that he greatly disliked his own cultural status, and even his family. Even though, this man was one accompanied by great wisdom, which was shown in the writing of Metamorphosis. Kafka was ... yet the results of isolation, and that disassociation from any family or love is what eventually kills Gregor. So, indeed here the values of communism are evoked as the eminent solution to isolation, or even death. Gregor s death symbolizes a death of his freedom s, and therefore all peoples freedom s. This death comes from an immediate change, although how may one live without changing for better or worse. ...
- 1145: The Use Of “Foil” Characters In Shakespeare’s Hamlet
- ... we can see numerous occasions when the brave and instinctive actions of this character reflect poorly upon the character of Hamlet. For example although we do not see Fortinbras’s initial reaction to his fathers death, we know that from the outset of the play he has already set out to avenge his fathers death. “...Now, sir, young Fortinbras, Hath in the skirts of Norway, here and there, Shark’d up a list of lawless resolutes,” This quote tells us that in this short period of time Fortinbras has formed ... of such mass and charge Led by a delicate and tender prince, Whose spirit with divine ambition puf’d Makes mouths at the invisible event, Exposing what is mortal and unsure To all that fortune, death and danger dare, Even for an eggshell. Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour’s at stake.” These lines are ...
- 1146: Serial Killers and Society
- ... believed to have killed at least thirty-four people, was charged for only three under his own defense- and in fact, he was commended by the judge for his own defense. He was put to death. With the combination of a very powerful media and a society fascinated with gruesome, sadistic crimes, modern serial killers have been put in the spotlight. We are enraptured with serial killers so much, that we ... bad guys gets strangled, mutilated, or shot- and enjoy it in some sick way. The media goes out of its way to glamorize murder and terrify the public. We support killers like Charles Manson on Death Row with our tax dollars. In fact, we support them with more than that. About two months ago there was an art show in California entitled: The Death Row Art Show III. Pieces sold for thousands of dollars regardless of their aesthetic appeal, because of the identity of the artists. Serial killers are becoming as popular as rock stars. Serial killers are ...
- 1147: Antigone, War Of Beliefs
- ... brother by the Gods was very important to her. She felt that "…I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he to me." (Page 341). Creon's order was personal to Antigone. His edict invaded her family life as well as the Gods. In Antigone's ... was a religious ceremony, and Creon did not have the power to deny Polynices that right. Antigone's strong belief towards the burial of her brother is what, in many cases, led her to her death by the hands of Creon. Since Creon was ruler, whatever he said was the law, and since Antigone broke this "said" law Creon was in a sense to blame, because if there was no law Antigone wouldn't have died. Never, though, did she stop defending what she thought was right. Right before her death, Antigone exclaimed, "… you see me now, the last unhappy daughter of a line of kings, your kings, led away to death. You will remember what things I suffer and at what men's hands, ...

- ... the play and is portrayed as a very emotional soul, a daring, brave character who has a bad and violent temper. Hamlet is a very emotional young man. As we all know, his father's death was a shock for him and he could not get over it. Claudius mentions that Hamlet was taking the mourning of his father's death to extremes: To give these mourning duties to your father; But you must know, your father lost a father; That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound In filial obligation for some term To do obsequious sorrow. 1 The King is telling Hamlet that death is only natural and that Hamlet's father lost his father too.

Was it just to go against her Uncle Creon’s wishes and go ahead and bury the brother that was to ... It may seem rather foolish to us when we study their beliefs and compare them to modern day beliefs.I am sure the Greeks would have considered us to be heathens and put us to death for our ways and beliefs.I think Antigone thought her act was courageous and valid. I myself would not have risked my life to ensure a proper burial for anyone, whether it was in modern ... her values from careful reading of her character. Afterlife was so important to the Greeks back then that she was willing to give up anything to ensure her brother’s happiness and "future" after his death.
