My dearest lord, beloved husband, Before I leave this world, I wish to express the mortal coil within me and confess my sins. I write this not in good tidings but because of unhallowed circumstances and sorrow. I pray my kinsman that you will hear my deep lament; let it resound without malice or enmity. Hark, let my regret rest unto your heart and mind, be sure that you do not mistake my foolishness for my true self. As I write this, my vision is blurred as unrighteous tears cloud my eyes. I have battled with my conscience for weeks now. The actions you and I have undertaken have played on my conscience, and I am finding it hard to cope. I realize that the path we had chosen was the wrong one, and even though I accepted that from the beginning, …show more content…
Avarice! Avarice took ahold of my disposition of my soul of both our souls, so strong it was palpable and weighed more than my own weary, mortal soul. You spoke often of the weird sisters that you had met on the moors. You believed them, trusted them, and possibly, in some queer manner, loved them. I know thou loveth me, but they hath stolen thy heart and pulled thy soul away from the righteous path. I suppose I am also to blame for this. I grieved more, my dearest husband, when I learnt about the death of Lady MacDuff and her children. Did these poor souls innocent of all crimes have to die? To what depths have our initial deeds led us? Treachery, misery, violence and insanity are the crimes we committed. Climbing through the wreckage of my twisted decisions I realise that together we barred reality and lived blindly. Once our fellow countrymen break through the wall of lies, rage will be unstoppable. All this I cannot bear to witness. So this, my final deed, will spare me from a world I cannot face. All praise to you, the conscious one, who is left to suffer the wound. I have no choice to add that I know you are no longer your own self, I’ve not seen you this mad before, I know the fault is partially my own, but you are no longer yourself, the man I loved would not destroy his friends, would not kill those closest to him from fear they would undo
The facts rose up like shattered fence-posts in the mist. The army would not recover from this day… All that was left now was more dying. It was final defeat. They had all died and it had accomplished nothing, the wall was unbroken, the blue line was sound.”
I made a terrible, terrible mistake. And I 'm here with you today to apologize and to ask for forgiveness for all the people that I 've hurt." (Ismael Estrada and Catherine E.
We must still continue this brutal fight so we may once again have a singular United States of
He comes to terms at the end, saying that “sin was what you took and didn’t give back.” This literary work is told through the use of several rhetorical devices, including imagery, symbolism, and
I came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion; the very crowns of holy law I brought, and what I touched with my bright confidence, it died; and where I turned the eye of my great faith, blood flowed up. Beware, Goody Proctor---cleave to no faith when faith brings blood. It is mistaken law that leads you to sacrifice. Life, woman, life is God’s most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it. I beg you, woman, prevail upon your husband to confess.
He had called out to me and I had not answered. I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!...” (pg 112).
When facing the darkest times individually or collectively, one thing we can be certain of is that we’ve been here before and we’ve been through worse. Together, we’ve been through sadness, disappointment, war, upheaval, conflict, fear, grief, loss, uncertainty, dictatorship, bigotry, and divisiveness. But that has never truly brought down the stars and stripes. The struggles we have been though in the past, give me hope for the future.
In the end, we need to learn to, “Lay aside all party differences and unite with zeal and energy in repelling approaching
Very few hands in this village are clean of sin, but none have transgressed so greatly as to warrant a noose. While I cannot say that those you have condemned are all of pure and virtuous standing, they are at least guiltless of the transgressions you have placed upon their heads. A great number of clean-handed men and women will hang at your word already, there is no need to increase such a multitude of unlucky souls. If you have quarrel with any, let it be myself; not with Elizabeth, and not with the people of
Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when that Rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done. Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future
Before the reader can answer the authors question on whether he was right or wrong, you must ask yourself what the true meaning of forgiveness is and to what extent someone should be forgiven. Can one forgive without forgetting, or vice versa? In the editor’s introduction of “The Sunflower, Bonny Fetterman wrote, “Is
INTRO I have done it. I have brought upon the death of another man! I have blood upon my hands. For that I feel I should have changed but desperation has replaced the sorrow I feel for my actions.
Relinquishing the selfish desires that consume one’s soul, result in a loss in
Should I not weep?/ Children, your mother is hated, and you are cursed:/ Death Take you, with your father, and perish his whole house!
Admiring the world for the last time, I accept my fate. Two guards come in the cells. Chaos breaks as mother is torn away from son, wives torn from husbands, brothers and sisters separated from each other. Those that were left were weeping. As we begin walking, we try to fight back but reinforcements come in.
