The Murderer is most morally responsible for the death of Marie. Although any of the other characters in the story could arguably be accountable for her murder, only the Murderer is directly responsible for Marie’s death. If Pierre had answered Maries calls for help, or if the Ferryman had allowed Marie to cross the river without the one franc, she probably would still be alive. Even if Marie had simply brought one more franc with her when she crosses the river, she could have saved her own life. But regardless of the role each individual could have played in saving Marie’s life, only the Murderer was responsible for actually killing Marie. Although the Ferryman may seem morally responsible for Marie’s death, he is not at fault for her
I read the story of Romeo and Juliet and also watched the movies including them in it. I feel like whenever Juliet drank that drink to make her sleep and people thought she was dead that it wasn’t her fault for Romeo killing himself by drinking the poison. That wasn’t Juliet’s fault, someone should have told him that she were asleep instead of really thinking she was dead. Nothing would’ve ever happened if Romeo knew she drank something to make her sleep. Whenever Romeo drank the poison after seeing Juliet laying there she woke up to him killing himself so after he was dead she grabbed his dagger and stabbed herself and she died with him.
I don't think that the murder of Cassetti/Ratchet is justified even though it seemed that he deserved it for kidnapping and killing Daisy Armstrong. I think he deserved to die, but not in the waythat it was carried out, with 12 people stabbing him to death. It should have been carried out through the courts. Even though Cassetti was aquittied based on a technicality, it still isn't right for them to murder him. As the Bible says “Thou shalt not kill”Exodus 20:13. Murder is murder and no one, no matter who it is or who is killed, should be able to escape it. The 12 conspirator's taking it upon themselves to kill him is wrong in the sense that he should have had a right to a fair trial. Which he did have a fair trial and got off on a technicality.

Dardeau’s death left Marie Tasset widowed at 22 with four children under the age of five. She went on to marry widower Eugene Pierre Dalmace Fields in June 1864.
Celia struck Robert Newsom in the head and killed him. At first I thought that Celia’s crime motive was the sexual exploitation, this was not the real reason. The real reason was that she was afraid of losing her love Gorge. I believe that if Gorge did not give her the ultimatum she would not commit the crime. The fear of losing him made Celia to take this decision. I cannot really know if I capable to kill someone, but I would do anything to defend myself. What I think is that Celia committed this crime for the wrong reason or the wrong motive. However, I do think Robert Newsom deserved
Following the reading of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, the impression made to many readers was that the character George did not have many choices regarding the fate of his friend, Lennie. George’s choice, made in hesitation, was to take Lennie’s fate into his own hands, and killed Lennie. In a situation where a trial would be conducted against George for his murder of Lennie, George’s decision would be found justified. George is not guilty because he had carried out justice against Lennie’s crimes, would be found justified. George is not guilty because by killing Lennie, he provided Lennie an escape from his own suffering, he avenged the victims that were lost by Lennie, and he carried out merciful justice for Lennie where there wouldn’t have been any at the hands of Curley or law enforcement.
When all's said and done, I still wouldn't blame just one subject for the fate that was brought upon the characters. Everyone should have payed more attention considering they knew of the couples engagements. However, it can be hard to know that someone is feeling the way they were and it can be hard to blame other people for someone taking their own life because they were in
In the Novel “ The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald,they blame Gatsby for the murder of Myrtle.

Someone tells the victim’s family member and that person goes and kills the owner of the car.
With Ruddick’s explanation for the culprit of the crime, Florence would be held partially responsible for Charles’s death. At the beginning of the novel I had suspected that Florence was related to the killing but by following her story I began to feel sympathetic for Florence. Florence had gone through a tough life with her failed marriage to Alexander Ricardo, her affair with Dr. Gully, and to the eventual death of Charles. By following Florence through most of her life, the reader understood Florence’s character and her possible motives for Charles’s murder. The personal details that Ruddick discusses also illuminate part of the path that Ruddick used to create his solution. By knowing that Alexander Ricardo was an alcoholic could explain
All throughout Justine's imprisonment and death, Shelley plays with the idea of innocence versus guilt. When William is killed Justine who is portrayed as an innocent bystander is convicted of the crime. When she is arrested everyone is confused because no one believes that she could have done this. This is because everyone sees her as cute and innocent.“Who is safe , if she is to be convicted of crime? I rely on her innocence as certainly as i do upon my own”(81). Even most of the characters believe that she is innocent but,
The Natural Law Theory suggested that Elmer's murder is wrong because it violates moral principles. While I do agree with this, Gray makes a strong argument in the sense that the court is expected to follow the law created by the people in authority. Before Francis's death, there was no mistakes in the will and the language of the statute governing wills was clearly written, making it a valid one. In other words, the court is required to uphold the validity of the will. In placing morality above the demands of the law, the majority judges meets the burden of overruling the written law. Therefore, positivists would agree that the rules governing wills must be applied as written and that a benefactor must inherit. It is true that the law can
The boat sank and he collected the insurance money without ever telling anyone about his suspicions of the boat not being in the best of shapes. He thought he had gotten rid of any doubts by overhauling the vessel. 'He had acquired his belief not by honestly earning it in patient investigation, but by stifling his doubts'; (Voices of Wisdom, 348). On the last quote, what Clifford means by 'his (the shipowner) belief'; is his thoughts of his ship being in good sailing condition. According to Clifford, even if the boat had made it all the way, the shipowner would still be guilty because when an action is once done, it is right or wrong forever; no accidental failure of its good or evil fruits can possibly alter that. The fact that he got his relieved from his worries by covering the holes instead of searching for evidence that would tell him that the boat was in good sailing condition gives him the guilty status.
It has always been up for debate about who’s at fault for atrocities that are committed in todays society. With modern psychology research at its forefront, it has been discovered that the way a child is raised affects how they are as an adult. Seems simple. But, if a child grows up to become a murder, is it the parents fault? Or is it the individuals fault for committing the crime in the first place? One could also say that society as a whole could also be at fault for the “monsters” we create. Although opinion differs between each person, there is a bit of truth to all of these statements. I believe while partial blame goes to the ‘creator’ of such monsters, the rest of the blame goes to the monsters themselves because they are the ones acting
