DEBORAH
Well, yes! Get to the point. I think I know where this chat is leading to, but I’ll hear it without a hint of scepticism. So go ahead!

CHARLES
He broke his two front teeth. He wore from thereon a dental bridge.

DEBORAH
Many people have them! So what!

CHARLES
Damn it, Deborah. The dental records match thus confirming the identity of the body. Don’t you see? It’s our son! No amount of scepticism by you can dissuade me from what I know. You can’t deny the facts as they stand. He’s dead!

DEBORAH
Stop saying that! I no longer care what the world thinks of me. I no longer want you in my life. You’re free to do as you wish. But remember, you are responsible for Edward’s death!

CHARLES
I am not, Deborah! How can you say that? You’re more culpable than me. Wasn’t it you who pushed him into enlisting?

DEBORAH …show more content…

CHARLES
Fuck respectability! If you weren’t so sexless, so overbearing, not to mention melodramatic…then, in every likelihood, I wouldn’t have found love with another woman. And, and, Edward wouldn’t have gotten himself involved with extremists. Ah, the way you’re looking at me suggests that I’ve struck a nerve...it indicates that you believe what I say to be true.

DEBORAH
So what if it does. It doesn’t excuse you, Charles. I may be a sexless wife… a domineering mother, but I’m not the one asking to be released from my marriage. Charles, don’t you see? You need me more so than ever before.

CHARLES
Don’t you value your standing in the local community?

DEBORAH
Never more so than now. However, Charles I will forego this in favour of something more appeasing to my

    Massachusetts, 1692... what an awful time to be alive. Especially for a young, timid girl by the name of Clarabeth. Not exactly the most special of girls, just a hard worker for her family, an all around fair person. Unfortunately, Clarabeth woke from an unpleasant sleep with a start on a gloomy August twilight, to the sound of people shouting and an accused “witch” tied to a stake, crying with the force of a tidal wave, pleading to be let down.

    In this scene, Charles is implied as the executioner, who sought out to intentionally kill Adam. In doing so, Charles violated two cardinal sins: his actions were motivated by envy, hence wrath developed to a point where he attempted to kill Adam. Which also violates two of the ten commandments, “You Shall not murder”(The Ten Commandments). As the word shall indicates future tense or strong intentions. In addition, the commandments prohibits covet: a desire, in this case their father's affection.

  • Deborah Tannen Summary

    Summary According to Deborah Tannen, agonism refers to ritualized opposition, a situation when a party in a debate wins rather than an argument that comes up when two parties disagree. She claims that the academic world is very agonistic. We tend to think that intellectual inquiry is a metamorphic battle and to show our skills is to criticize, find fault and attack and foster this in students. Students are often taught to criticize and find the weakest point from one’s work to support their view while ignoring the strength and other important facts of the paper that would support other’s viewpoint.

Although Helen is portrayed as meek and kindhearted, much like Tom, the overwhelming sadness and pressure may have caused her to break down emotionally, or feel some emotions of vengeance towards a majority of the white community; especially the Ewells. In the novel, the black church provides her with funding and support while Tom is in court.
