Diamond supplements this story with that of his father-in-law, Jozef, who, when given the opportunity to exact revenge on the man who brutally murdered his family during World War II, decided to place the murderer in the hands of the legal system. The man was released, leaving Jozef burdened with a sense of “guilt that he had not been able to protect his parents, and regret that he had failed in his responsibility to take vengeance” (11). On the basis of these narratives, Diamond advocates for a more widespread acceptance of the natural desire for revenge, an emotion which in is view is much like that of “love, anger, grief, and fear” (12). He concludes that great relief that can be supplied by properly expressing and acknowledging our thirst for vengeance. Taking a position so contrary to
After General Zaroff reveals that he hunts other human beings, Rainsford exclaims, “‘Hunting? Great Guns, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder.’ The general laughed with entire good nature”(Connell 8). Rainsford is bewildered at the thought of Zaroff murdering for the good hunt. Furthermore when the general finds Rainsford’s disbelief amusing, it shows that the general has lost touch with reality and has no emotions except greed. Plus, when Zaroff laughs at such a serious matter, his evil ways shine through, which makes Rainsford stand out as the moral character of the story.
The quote shows how death is a main part of the sniper’s job because he is part of war. The quote shows how simply death could come in war, and how this text presents it in a quite brutal way. In “War Is Kind” the soldiers were extremely proud of killing, and were training to kill easier, “Make plain to them the excellence of killing” (22). This quote shows that the result of everything they were doing, and pretty much the result of war itself was death. The quote shows how death as I said for the other literary piece was a very subjective thing, no feeling attached.
The setting of the ethics board encapsulated another common theme of judgment and morality; specifically relating to Frankenstein and his choices on creating the monster, but also in the way that the monster took revenge; leaving the reader to question whether it was right or wrong, much like a decision on an ethics board. Moreover, the natural world and concept of fate were included in my story with the “wind that blew out the candles”, commenting on how fate wished him to stop his research; much like the way fate led to Frankenstein 's illness and death in the novel. Lastly, the big ideas of isolation and passion are included throughout and are the driving force behind my character 's actions, yet my main character’s ambitions make him fallible, which is similar to Frankenstein.
Anne talks about horrible things people can do too each other. Anne uses such graphic expression, to convey to her readers just how horrific it still is. “After Auschwitz”, gave me the feeling that Anne thought death, was enjoying his time while the Nazis disrespected human life, and that made Anne very angry. A dead giveaway was the first line “Anger,” (Sexton 1). Anne’s feeling some anger for what has
Brutus expresses this enlightenment of his sinful past when he cries to God, “When I cotches Jeff cheatin’ wid loaded dice my anger overcomes me and I kills him dead! Lawd, I done wrong!”. Brutus cries for God’s help and begs Him for forgiveness, giving the reader the idea that Jones has successfully been enlightened on the idea of a homogenous society.

This purpose has dragged Grendel down an abyss of violence and brutality where the only spark of life was given by the act of eating the victims of a massacre until the threshold of tolerance was so high that Grendel found himself even more alone. This feeling of loneliness is broken by Beowulf’s arrival and eventually by Grendel’s death that ease the pain of trying to understand the functioning of the world and the universe, something that is designed by nature to overwhelm us when we try to analyse it and leave us amazed or depressed. As the philosopher Alan Watts says “black implies white, self implies other, life implies death — or shall I say, death implies life — you can conceive yourself”, Grendel has conceived himself through the consequences of its actions and not by the action
