Massacre Of The Innocents By Judith Beheading

In The Crucible (1953), Arthur Miller informs his audience that Abigail Williams’ actions are unjust. Abigail has been accused of spreading lies about people being witches in Salem causing secrets, and lies in Salem, but she is only a child, innocent, and immature. Wouldn't all children lie to escape a punishment? Why would anyone be so quick to judge someone who committed a sin everyone makes? Like all children, Abigail is a pathological liar who doesn't want to receive a brutal punishment, and will continue a lie until caught.

Who deserves to receive the most hatred in the small village of Salem? Through this character, what message is the author trying to send? My stance is quite blunt, Abigail Williams is the most despicable, hated character in The Crucible by Arthur Miller.

How is it possible that after decades filled with thousands of deaths due to genocide, it still occurs to this day? For instance, Rwandan and Jewish families were torn apart, along with the hundreds of precious treasures and memories of each individual. During the Holocaust, over six million jews were killed;in addition, throughout the Rwandan genocide more than eight hundred thousand Rwandans were killed. Therefore, with these prior fatalities, it is the duty of upcoming generations to unite and put an end to genocide and prevent similar acts from taking place. Genocide strips the innocent lives of families; genocide is known as an act of the intentional mass murder of people, usually those who pertain to a specific race or religion. Punishing

Instead of taking cover in the nearby woods, Fannin ordered his men to form a square on an open prairie near Coleto Creek.Whether indecisive, stubborn or loyal to the rebels away on missions whom he did not want to abandon, Fannin remained in Goliad until the morning of March 19. The Alamo! Instead, the Mexican commanding officer shot Fannin in the face, burned his body with the others and kept the timepiece as a war prize.Fannin,had to get there fast for his safety as the orders he received on March 14, 1836.“This show of generosity after a hotly contested engagement is worthy of the highest commendation,” Urrea wrote to Santa Anna, “and I can do no less than to commend it to your Excellency.”Santa Anna, however, had no desire for such mercy.The death toll would have been even higher if not for a Mexican woman known as the “Angel of Goliad” who convinced a Mexican colonel to spare the lives of approximately 20 doctors, orderlies and interpreters.Less than a month later, as Houston prepared his men for the decisive Battle of San Jacinto that would earn Texas its

The Goliad Massacre was a horrific battle that took place on March 27, 1836. In the battle of Goliad, the alamo fought against the Mexicans, losing and being destroyed completely by the mexicans. The alamo was a fighting group full of Texas rebels trying to seek independence from Mexico. The alamo were settled with all of their supplies and out of nowhere, a sneak attack of the mexicans took place. Mexicans charged at the alamo smart and with strategy. The alamo were stuck and was set up to be in a defensive position, receiving much damage. After long fight, the alamo surrendered and were all taken prisoners. The texans pleaded for mercy and begged for their lives, thinking they would get out alive. But Santa

In the novel, The Crucible by Arthur Miller leads the reader on a journey back to 1692 to reexplore the Salem witchcraft trials. Miller creates an atmosphere and mood in the play with the historical background and Puritan culture. People are being arrested, convicted, and are dying as trust is fading away in the Salem community. The citizens who live in Salem deal with extremely restrictive laws. Evil is characterized by believing illusional ideals that leads people to death which lead Danforth to be selfish, prideful, values his reputation, and tries to do his best for Salem yet crumbles the society.

This investigation will focus on the question: What role did Tituba 's confession to be a witch start the mass hunt for the witches in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692? This investigation will include details on the events that occurred after Tituba’s confession in Salem during 1962 and 1963. It will also include a brief description of society at the time and what societal pressures may have led to this horrific time.

In 1692, 19 women were hung and 200 more were accused of witchcraft. All because of the strange actions of 8 young girls. These 8 girls showed signs of being possessed by the Devil. They had seizures, trances, delusions and extreme illness unexpectedly. Fear of being killed by the Indians and worry that there was not enough food and water put the level of tension at a new high for the villages, spread this hysteria faster than wildfire.

In the 1690s “The “afflicted” girls [whom] made the accusations were some of the most powerless members of their society” (“Part II: The Witches of Salem”). Salem Witch Trials quickly became famous and researchers began exploring the multiple possibilities behind the trials. Although many theories were considered, none could explain why so many were accused and hanged.

Artemisia Gentileschi was not the first to paint Judith Slaying Holofernes. Her father had painted Judith. Michelangelo, Botticelli and Caravaggio had painted Judith. Donatello had sculpted Judith. But she was the first to interpret the story of Judith, in a time when women had few rights, as an allegory for female dominance. In comparison with other contemporary versions, the composition, dramatic style, and emotions of the characters present a violently feminist view that may have stemmed from Gentileschi's own experiences.

Society tends to dictate if all that we say and all that we do is correct, which tends to alter the relationships that we have with others. Not only can we witness this occur in our own personal lives, but it most definitely occurs in literature as well. Even though the time periods of some pieces of literature may take place hundreds of years ago, the characters still felt obligated to make an attempt to live up to the standards that society has set for them.

The Bull of Innocent VIII is a text written in 1484 that explores many problems that are being formed by people who are moving away from the catholic faith. This document encouraged witch hunt and the killing of witches suggesting that it would be the ideal way to free humankind from such scheming. The first problem described was that they gave themselves away to sex devils (Pope, Innocent VII,1484). These devils are called the Incubus (the one that lays on top) and Succubus (the one that lays on the bottom). Incubus is known to be a male demon that has sexual intercourse with females by paying them a visit at night and Succubus is known to be a female demon that has sexual intercourse with males (Awakening, 2013).

In “Judith Slaying Holofernes”, Judith are interpreted as Artemisia, where the meaning of the name “Judith” is Jewish lady or Lady Jew. Abra is interpreted as Artemisia’s chaperone, which leaves Artemisia alone with Tassi, and ignore Artemisia when she cried for help when she was raped. Similar to Abra, who purposefully abandoned Judith when she is in need. Both are an act of betrayal in the time of need. Holofernes is interpreted as Tassi, the rapist which was not imprisoned and punished because of his crime, for raping Artemisia, his sister-in-law and the murder of his wife.

“Saturn Devouring His Children” is the boldest painting of the group. Goya portrays a grim voracious giant with predatory, lunatic eyes stuffing his son’s torn, headless body into his maw, a visual equivalent of torture and murder, set against the darkness which accentuates the mood of despair to illustrate his honest views of humanity during a turbulent time.

Due to a dispute between two women who both claim the babe as their own, the King order to physically divide the body of the child between the two women, knowing the true mother will relinquish her claim to save the child’s life. Giorgione’s metaphorical signature is in the design of the painting, the way that only one third of the canvas is occupied by Figures and the rest is a complex and detailed landscape. Also , his choosing to do this when the figures are of a religious nature sets the painting apart from others of the same time
