The Sin In The Odyssey

The Israelites were told to slaughter an unblemished lamb and wipe its blood over the doorframe of their house. Then the angel of death killed all the firstborn in Egypt, unless he saw the lamb’s blood on the doorframe where he passed over. Third, two lambs were sacrificed and offered in the temple every day, one in the morning and one at twilight, for the people’s sins (Exodus 29:38). Besides, the prophecies foretold the coming of Messiah who would be sacrificed “like a lamb”, being the substitute to atone for our sins (Isaiah 53:7; Jeremiah

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Line 1). Eve was tricked

This reference is created from Moreau’s experiment thats gone wrong as Moreau says “it was a limbless creature that slithered on the ground” (pg 58).

(Marry Shelley pg. 106). Victor created a monster and left it to fend for itself in a world in which he does not belong, and it is, therefore, Victor who is responsible for the misery and thus the evilness of his creation. Furthermore, the monster 's awareness

It was speculated that Nero desired this area of land to expand his palace complex on Palatine Hill (History.com). Nero caught wind of the suspicions and began to blame the Jews, who had been previously known for arson. They escaped the blame since they had friends in the court. He then place blame on the Christians and so began the first persecution of Christians (Frend).

Even the smallest amount “can ruin a whole yard” (LEE 42). In Maycomb racism is prevalent throughout the town, and to stop it from spreading it must be uprooted and killed. Even today racism is still prevalent, we

In The Crucible the lies and deceit led to people being brainwashed and influenced by others thoughts and opinions. Arthur Miller shows us this in act II when Elizabeth Proctor is set up and arrested so that Abigail can have John to herself. Abigail setup Elizabeth by planting a bobby pin in the doll Mary Warren had made that day and gave to Elizabeth as a gift. Abigail later acted as if she got stabbed in the same place Mary had left the pin to make it look like Elizabeth sent out her spirit to harm her. “Abigail were stabbed tonight; a needle were found stuck into her belly”….(Hale

However, throughout the book, trickery and deception play a key role in the tales told. The third chapter shows the first ever act of deception, which takes place in the Garden of Eden. The “craftiest” animal of all, the serpent, tricks Adam and Eve into doing exactly what God told them not to do--eating forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:1-13) From the moment Eve ate the fruit, we are overwhelmed with stories of deception and trickery. One of the most significant and well known tales of deception in Genesis is the story of Jacob.

(Aligheri p.92) In The Inferno, Dante sees the wrongdoers immersed in boiling blood forever, patrolled by Centaurs. Here, because Nero murdered many romans and even his mother, his punishment is being repeatedly thrown off a cliff of doom into an abyss full of swords and knives. As the swords and knives are thrusted upon his flesh, fishing hooks grasp onto his eyelids were he is risen to the cliff again for it to start all over. Being in that Roman era, Nero was fully aware that the killing of his mother would come back to haunt him.

God in the Old Testament is perceived in many ways, from violent to loving, to unjust and fair-minded. David Lamb and Richard Dawkins both explain contradicting perceptions of God. Dawkins’ quote from, “The God Delusion” gives off a negative tone of God’s image. Dawkins uses words such as: misogynistic, megalomaniacal, and a capriciously malevolent bully.” While Lamb applauds Dawkins’ attempt to bring the issues up to the surface, Lamb believes that Dawkins exaggerates the negative side of God.
