    Lincoln Movie Review

    • 641 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The movie Lincoln, directed by the infamous Steven Spielberg, is based on the life of Abraham Lincoln and his efforts to pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which would abolish slavery completely. With the assumption that the Civil War would end in one month, however, Abraham feels it it is imperative to pass the amendment by the end of January, thus removing any possibility that slaves who have already been freed may be re-enslaved. Radical Republicans believe the amendment will be defeated, due to the support of it not being completely assured, since they prioritize the issue of ending the war. Even if all of them are ultimately brought on board, the amendment will still require the support of several Democratic congressmen if it is to pass. With dozens of Democrats having just lost their re-election campaigns in the fall of 1864, some of Lincoln's advisers believe that he should wait until the new Republican-heavy Congress is seated, presumably giving the amendment an easier road to passage. Lincoln, however, remains adamant about having the amendment in place and the issue of slavery settled before the war is concluded and the southern States reintegrated into the Union.…

    The main character, Raskolnikov, is Dostoevsky's focus for his exploration of duality in character. "Raskol" in Russian means "schism" or "split." This name gives an inside view to Raskolnikov. He is torn between a conscience that urges him to do good and a cruelly rational side that pushes him to do evil. His conscience urges him to be generous and benevolent with those that are less fortunate than he. At one point, Raskolnikov sees a young girl drunk on the street with a lecherous old man trailing behind her. Raskolnikov finds a nearby policeman and takes him to the scene. "I saw myself watching her and following her, but I prevented him, and he is just waiting for me to go away...Think how can we keep her out of his hands, and how are we to get her home?...Here, "said Raskolinikov, feeling in his pockets and finding twenty copecks, "here, call a cab and tell him to drive her to her address." (43). Then after he thinks about it and his other side has a chance to rationalize, he regrets his actions. "He [the policeman] has carried off my twenty copecks," Raskolnikov murmurs angrily when he is left alone. "Well, let him take as much from that other fellow to allow him to have the girl and so will it end. And why did I want to interfere? Is it for me to help? Have I any right to help? Let them devour each other alive-what is it to me?" (45). There are other instances of this contradictory behavior throughout the novel. Raskolnikov gives money to the family of a friend after the friend dies and then as soon as he leaves, he berates himself for giving away his money. He valiantly defends Sonia to Svidrigailov then later ridicules her for her belief in God.…
