Brutus was the noblest roman who wanted what was in the best interest for the roman population. Brutus’s tragic flaw was that he was too trusting. He honestly felt that he had to kill Caesar in order to save Rome from tyranny. He trusted Mark Antony not to blame the conspirators in his speech at Caesar’s funeral. Mark Antony broke his promise and got Brutus and the others into deep trouble. Brutus indeed ended up in a position‚ from his own actions‚ that is tragic to the reader. In the play The

Survival and Immaturity Mother bears leave their cubs after only 7 months after birth; humans however take eighteen years to let their children be free.

In William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies‚ he shows that what can be perceived as natural evil is just an act of survival caused by immaturity. The perception of evil has

psychological classification to Montresor. And he supports his argument very compellingly with ample evidence from the story‚ such as pointing out the extremity of Montresor’s revenge and his lack of remorse for killing Fortunato. Of course‚ one can debate whether or not Montresor feels remorse for the murder; nevertheless‚ Holte does make a persuasive argument.

Conscience is truly a dreadful thing. It judges us more heavily than any court and is inescapable. Mahatma Gandhi once said that‚ "There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts." Conscience affects all of us. It is no wonder that Mark Twain had a desire for the simple life. He once said that‚ "Good friends‚ good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life." One of the greatest examples of Conscience and
