Remorse

true to himself and does not confess, so that the same sacrifice others had made would not be in vain. In addition, he shows a crucial emotion that is needed for redemption. The emotion he shows throughout the play is guilt. Guilt displays remorse, and remorse is only felt when the afflicted acknowledge their wrongdoing and feel the need to redeem themselves. Those who do not regret their actions do not feel guilt. Because John Proctor is an admirable character, he becomes trapped in his own cage

In a novel full of unreliable characters, who is one to trust? After all the very first two characters readers are introduced t, Rachel and Megan are extremely unreliable (finish sentence)(something about in their own way)for very different reasons. Rachel is a divorced, unemployed alcoholic struggling to find purpose in her life. She has still not found closure within her divorce and has become obsessed with her ex-husband, Tom, and his new wife, Anna, who used to be his mistress. Rachel is not

In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, the main character, Macbeth is truly a “devil more damned” of “horrid hell” as he senselessly murders. He is guided by his own ambition, the witches and his wife to kill the king but he reveals his true evil nature by choosing to murder his best friend. In the beginning of the play, Macbeth is portrayed as noble and brave.

Even white flowers cast a dark shadow. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, there is a person who appears to be pure but in reality is the opposite. The story takes place in the 1920’s following Nick, who just moved to the West Egg in New York from the Midwest. A profusion of interesting and rich people reside in the West Egg. Gatsby is a mysterious neighbor who holds extravagant parties often enough to be known for them; Tom is washed up athlete with a sizable temper and a mistress named

evil entity who exists to cause harm, and who feels no remorse for his actions. This cold, unfeeling, motiveless character is interesting to me because I’ve become used to many villains within stories who operate in a gray area, not entirely evil but often believing themselves to be on the right path. Shakespeare makes Iago simultaneously pure evil and yet still utterly complex. His actions do not follow from his alleged motives, he feels no remorse nor and sympathy for anyone, and yet he is also highly

we couldn’t call a man, who buries his ’friend’ alive, completely reasonable and sensible. The penultimate sentence („For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them”), however, tells me how deeply affected his mind is by this deed and the remorse, as he is still thinking (in fact writing) about this plot that happened half a century ago. I reckon that despite the calmness Montresor shows, he has been haunted by these thoughts ever since he left his friend to fate. In The Tell-Tale Heart we

Separate Peace, John Knowles tells a tale about how jealousy causes a rift between friends, and how there will be no redemption in the end.

He has his best friend, Finny, to share the journey with him. It is Gene's fault that Phineas falls out of the tree. It is Gene's savage nature that makes him shake the branch. Gene shows

Paul regrets his decision and feels remorse for the man that he has killed; his thoughts show his intact humanity and sensitivity to death, especially in hand-to-hand combat. Paul does not discriminate against men just because of which side they are on; they are all humans, and they feel pain

publicized home invasion crime spree terrifying the residents of the Los Angeles area, as well as the San Francisco area. Ramirez used weapons including, handguns, knives, a machete, a tire iron, and a hammer. He was a Satanist who never expressed any remorse for his crimes. At the time of his sentencing, the Judge remarked that his deeds exhibited “cruelty, callousness, and viciousness beyond any human understanding” (Montadlo, n.d.).
