How Is Hop Frog Justified For Killing The King
I think that Hop Frog is justified for killing the king and his seven ministers because of how cruel they were towards Hop Frog and Trippetta. During the wine scene in the story, the king exhibits his cruel nature by forcing Hop Frog to drink the wine. Even though the king knows that Hop Frog is not comfortable doing it he still makes him, knowing very well how it affects Hop Frog. The other seven ministers do not take pity of Hop Frog, even they smirk and laugh at the king’s horribly cruel stunt. Even when Trippetta falls on her knees and begs the king to stop his merciless joke, he throws her aside like a rag doll and throws the remaining wine onto her. The entire scene was vile but a particularly horrid line was, ““Drink, I say!” shouted

    The Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs Character Analysis

    The character Hop Frog in “The Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs” is justified in the murdering of the King and his seven ministers. The first reason is that Hop Frog is not there voluntarily. He is captured, along with a dancer named Trippetta, by a general and is presented as a gift to the King. This is another joke the King laughed at. The two dwarfs are used as entertainment for the King throughout the story. The King describes Hop Frog’s value as a “trebled” since he is a jester, a dwarf, and a cripple. He is made fun of the way he walks, even though he cannot help it. The King goes to the extreme by making fun of his disability: “In fact, Hop-Frog could only get along by a sort of interjectional gait-something between a leap and a wriggle-a…

    Comparing Poe's The Cask Of Amontillado And Hop-Frog

    “Hop-Frog” and “The Cask of Amontillado” have similarities regarding setting too. For example, “Hop-Frog” and “The Cask of Amontillado” take place in Europe. Also, they are both during a celebration. For example, Poe establishes the setting of “Hop-Frog” when he states, “His mode of equipping the party as ourang-outangs were very simple but effective enough for his purposes” (Poe Hop-Frog 5). This evidence suggests that a party was happening at the time in Hop-Frog. While the time and place of “The Cask of Amontillado” were almost clearly stated, the setting in “Hop-Frog” was left for the reader to…

    Analysis Of Why Frog And Snake Never Play Together By William J Bennet

    When reading “Why Frog and Snake Never Play Together” from the book “Children’s Book of Virtues” edited by William J. Bennet the first time through it may seem as if it’s just another children’s story, but after a deeper look into the text it’s clear that this small folktale is much more than just a story. This story does a great job of giving children two relatable characters in Frog-Child and Snake-Child who without their family’s intervention were great friends who were even able to learn from each other, unfortunately however, it also showed how a families preexisting prejudice can effect a child as well. In order for a family to avoid the trap of perpetuating prejudice they must keep an open mind, avoid others who have a tendency to perpetuate prejudice, and build trust or…

    Disneyland Character Analysis

    Building on the stories of the previous princesses, The Princess and the Frog focuses on the idea of a woman who doesn’t have to be independent yet chooses to be anyway. Tiana is in control of herself financially, holding down multiple paying jobs and being realistic when it comes to buying or owning property. This is a woman making her own choices. Tiana is affected by the story, but she moves herself. Lottie, Tiana’s wealthy best friend, is another important step forward for the depth of Disney characters. Lottie is not merely a spoiled rich girl. While she may be somewhat self-absorbed, she shows moments of kindness and thoughtfulness. Lottie displays from the start the truth that The Princess and the Frog will not be about a perfect person. Each and every character written in this film has both flaws and…

    The King Was Brutal And Inhumane To The Dwarves

    It is no question that the king was brutal and inhumane to the dwarves, he ruined their lives and that is why the dwarves are justified to their actions. The king sabotaged Hop-Frog and Tripetta’s life when he kidnapped them from their village. “Hop-Frog, and a young girl very less dwarfish then himself, had been forcibly carried off and sent as presents to the king” (Poe 2). The dwarves had done nothing but well before they were taken. His rational for taking the dwarves was: “Hop-Frog, in especial, was so inventive.”…

But he does not jump to the conclusion that he must kill everyone in line to assure his child's crown. He thinks rationally and decides to ignore the words of the weird sisters.…

    What Are The Forces That Drive Macbeth's Final Decisions

    Macbeth tries his best to convince himself not to do this for many different reasons. One of these is Macbeth “is his kinsman and his subject”(1.7.13), and killing the king is considered the greatest sin of all. A second is the implied host and guest contract, as a host there is a responsibility for the happiness and safety of the guest. A third is the king “hath been so clear in his great office”(1.7.17-18). A final reason is because of the fact the king is so loved his death will be pitied so much it will cause an uprising. Macbeth tries so hard to resist all of these internal and external forces, but in the end he cannot which is due to his ambition.…

    How Did Shakespeare Create A Universal Order In The Elizabethan Era

    The medieval society was divided based upon your social status and divine powers. In a monarchical government, the king, positioned at the highest order, was closest to God through the authority of the divine right of kings. Therefore, challenging and betraying the king would, in turn, defy the authority of God. In Macbeth, King Duncan is murdered at the hands of Macbeth. Macbeth, the thane of Cawdor, rebelled against a man of a superior standing; instead, he, who is a man of lower status, should have served and respected his king. Greedy for power, he set off the balance of nature and the universal unity. As a consequence of his impiety, the great chain of being will experience a downfall, and disorder will fall upon Scotland. The shattered chain invites evil beings of Hell, a world unbound by the order. The recurring appearance of the three witches could be foreshadowing imminent danger and turmoil. For the assassination of King Duncan, Macbeth may have to face death himself in order to revive the natural…
