Reflection Of Les Inrockuptibles

This article goes over the heinous crime Gerard and Charlene Gallego committed. How the match made in hell met, became dependent on each other, and started their killing spree. It goes over the complete lack of empathy they had for their victims. It also shows the gendered sentencing as Gerard was sentenced to death. While Charlene was sentenced to only 16 years in prison.

While they are taking one of their many jaunts around Paris, the pair come across a newspaper describing a ghoulish unsolved case involving the murder of a woman: Lady L’Espanaye and her daughter Camille. It seems the Madame was found with her neck so ravaged, her head just fell off when moved. Her daughter cruelly contorted and shoved up a

While implementing Primary Health Care models, identical to those in metropolitan areas, in a rural setting is not practical, I feel there is an obvious need to improve primary health care in remote areas. This is due to the significant health gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, in rural and remote areas

On September third and fourth of 1792, crowds, fueled by the terror the government had instilled in them over time, broke into prisons and brutally murdered the inmates who they deemed to be against the revolution. Nicolas-Edme Restif de la Bretonne’s Les nuits de Paris chronicles the horrific things he saw on that day. Of all of the horrible descriptions, the words “Dead bodies are piled high in front of the Châtelet” are enough to make it clear that this event was completely unjustified and inexcusably horrific. He also describes the murder of a woman by the Revolutionaries he witnessed first hand.

In the story Cohen makes use of the most trivial murder of 1836 to show the twisted societal accommodations of those who are considered privileged, hypocritical channelled views towards sexuality and legal codes exploitation with a mingling of tabloids journalism and mere politics. In her story Cohen brings out a really sensational fact that a place for women is determined by a man.

Presumably a member of the French nobility, Madame de Sevigne, in her untitled letter, relates the story of an event she calls the “Brinvilliers affair.” De Sevigne’s purpose is to persuade the audience to adopt conflicting emotions about the afffair. To accomplish this, she varies her tone throughout the essay, alternatively adopting detailed, objective tone and diction intended to arouse shock and disgust in her audience, and sympathetic tone to inspire empathy and sorrow in her aristocratic audience. De Sevigne opens her letter with a description of the act committed. She appeals to the pride of her readers by incredulously, disdainfully detailing what she views as a dastardly act.

In Natalie Z. Davis’ reconstruction of Martin Guerre’s famous case of identity theft, Guerre’s eight year absence allowed for Pansette to authentically impersonate him for three years. . However, following his dispute with his uncle, Pierre Guerre, over the family inheritance, Pansette was accused of being an impostor, ultimately leading to his execution. Concluding the case, the court declared Bertrande and the Guerre family victims in the trial. Unlike the participants of the case, Davis does not conform to the idea of Bertrande as a mere victim, but rather, an accomplice motivated by socioeconomic status. Critics often question whether Davis’ interpretations trespass the boundaries of a historian.

The media today, is highly selective in their constructions of offences, offenders and victims. Media representations of crime are moulded and women are portrayed in a way that is entertainment driven and is appealing to the audience. Despite the fact that women seldom stalk, murder outsiders or commit sequential murders- in fact they are rarely vehement, “accounting for only ten percent of convicted violent offenders- those who do so are highly newsworthy because of their novelty” (Jewkes 2011, p. 123) Present day media admits that because fierce women are comparatively uncommon, they are all the more appealing and diabolical to the audience as a result. The essay shall discuss the reason and presentation in the media of female offenders, female victims and women specific crimes.

Davis’s monograph demonstrates the complexity of the story that Vigne failed to incorporate as well as to point out the differences of the interpretations between Vigne’s and Davis’s accounts. Davis provides a detailed description of the two trials of the accused imposter. The first trial occurs at a local court in Rieux, where the imposter is charged with stealing another person’s identity and impersonating Martin’s life, while in the film the trial occurs in the same village of Artigat. Pierre Guerre, Martin’s uncle, presents the charge of imposture. Davis argues that Bertrande implies her support for the accusation with the hopes that Pierre would lose the case against the imposter. Bertrande proceeds to protect herself by coaching the imposter covertly while publicly supporting the move by Pierre. Specifically, Davis asserts that the couple worked out a plan to follow during the trials to counter Pierre’s arguments. Bertrande “either by explicit or tacit agreement … helped him become her husband” (Benson 44). The trial declares the imposter guilty of the crime and sentence him to death, but he appeals the case.

Revenge can be analyzed, as it becomes the exhibited behavior of the Widow resulting from a number of causes. First cause is the harm done to her family; second cause is the Widow’s perception of violence during that time; and the third cause is her aggression toward the killer of her son. The first cause of her revenge is the most obvious reason why she avenged the death of her son, and this is because the killer caused pain to her family. Any mother would be committing the act especially that her son was the only company she has. The second cause pertains to the Widow’s perception of revenge during that time, and because at the time, wars and feuds were still evident in the French society, bloodshed for the Widow is not something to be scared of, given any means. This story was only successful in showing to its readers how the society thinks of death during those times, which can be achieved through any means, by which losing one’s life was not something to be thought of carefully. This just proves that during that time, morality was not given high regard as it is now. Death by any means can be accomplished by anybody, regardless of age, gender, and status in society. The third cause of the Widow’s behavior is her aggression toward the killer of her son, which was not literally shown or described in the story, but was evident based on

     In the beginning of the novel, capital punishment serves as the "cure-all" for France’s social problems. After all, "death is nature’s remedy for all things, and why not legislation’s?" (62). It is this attitude that

What is equally absurd is that Meursault remains passive and detached over the course of a year of interrogations, and despite the pessimistic nature of his situation, he is able to feel a sense of comfort and belonging within the system trying to condemn him. Ironically, those witness testimonies that sought to free him prove to be the most damaging, and the religious people who surround him and purport to love all men unconditionally persecute him for his lack of belief. Everyone is astonished that Meursault has no emotions about the murder --no sense of remorse or desire to repent. Most men in his position find

Everyone has their own characteristics that set them apart. The way they act, think, and feel gives them their own individual personality. But what if you could learn exactly what type of person you are? That is what intrigued me when I heard about the Enneagram system. I have taken personality quizzes before, but none were as accurate as the Enneagram. By taking this quiz, I learned more about myself than I realized I knew. The largest components of this questionnaire are the center, wings, and arrows. One’s personality is more complex than it seems. Even though I am classified to a particular group, I blend into other types similar to mine. Along with the Enneagram questionnaire, I completed a Learning Styles survey. This survey also

This easy-going, pleasant hedonism is interrupted permanently by Meursault's murder of the Arab on the beach. Not only is he incarcerated, but also he must examine the reality behind the illusion of his trial and, ultimately, of his life. Introspection has not been his metier. It takes him a while to realize that the judge, the jury, the journalists, even his own lawyer, do not wish him well. Meursault finally realizes that he is going to be convicted, not because he killed an Arab but because he did not mourn his mother's death.

A brutal double murder took place on the evening of 2 February 1933, at the Lancelin home, in the town of Le Mans. The Papin sisters, Christine, 28 and Lea, 21, maids of the Lancelin murdered two middle-class women, Madame Lancelin and her daughter Genevieve. The maids had not simply killed the women, but had gouged their eyes out with their fingers while they were alive and had then used a hammer and knife to reduce both women to a bloody pulp. In both cases, there were no wounds to the body. Apart from some gashes to the daughter 's legs, the full force of the attack was directed at the heads and the victims were left literally unrecognizable. The maids made no attempt to escape and were found together in bed, naked and in each other 's arms. The sisters confessed readily to the crime and the weapons used had been a kitchen knife, a hammer and a pewter pot (Edwards & Reader, n.d).
