Document A shows the feudal social structures in both Japan and Europe. When defining samurai and knights it read, “Warriors who owned loyalty and military service to daimyos or lord for land,” both samurai and knights were awarded for their pledged loyalty with land for them and their families. Document E states that “both samurai and knights were both expected to abide by a code of honor.” Although the honor code that Japanese warriors followed was different than the one of the European knights, they had the same general idea. A warrior had to be honest, loyal, and just and if they ever ignored or dishonored their duty as a warrior then it would bring shame, not only on them but their whole

The samurai had an unwritten code of honor called the bushido. Bushido means “way of the warrior” (History of the Samurai 3). This provided them with a code to help show them how to live and conduct themselves at home and in battle. One of the most important duties of the samurai was their loyalty to their lord. The samurai would defend their lord until the death. Revenge was also central in the samurai’s

“The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life” (Zwick). These are the words of Katsumoto, an important samurai warrior.

The scene in, “The Magnificent Seven”, begins with the bandits riding in on horses over a hill top towards a village to the tune of peppy western music. This scene is shot as a far away angle and is done so with no verbal communication, almost as if the bandits all have one common goal and they do not have to discuss with one another to know that is their intentions. This leads to the viewer being required to view the scene as a whole and consider what the intentions of these men must be and why they feel that way. When the men arrive to the village, the viewer is given little to no information regarding the village. The viewer then begins to wonder: “Who are these people?”, “Did they do something to deserve this?”, “Maybe they know each other personally.” The bandits then approach the villagers as if they “own the place”. They are asking for drinks, sitting down as they please, and even taking as they wish. The villagers seem to go along with this as though they are used to it and intend to fully comply. This can be seen through the conversation between the bandit and villager where the villager talks very quietly, slurring his words, and telling the bandit what he wants to hear. The bandits then begin to leave as a villager runs after the bandits with intentions of standing up to them, almost to be leading the village to rebell. The bandits quickly show they will not stand for this

The time of the knights and the samurai took place at the same time. These people served for their country to help provide protection from enemy armies.

Throughout History, there have been many different groups or events that are still widely known today. Groups of people such as the Indians or Vikings are popular groups which are referenced constantly in today’s society. However, none of these groups is more known or referenced than the Japanese Samurai.

The 47 Ronin Story takes place in 1701, approximately 100 years after the Tokugawa Shogunate was formed. The story displays much of the changes going on in Japanese society and culture. From the declining importance of the Samurai, to the rising influence of the merchant class, and finally to the inevitable changing of values that are all exacerbated by the long peace imposed by the Tokugawa Shogunate. The changing of values were not just commonplace among the classes, it also reached into the high echelons of the court. The corruption of the court sparked the beginnings of a series of events that at it's conclusion would inspire a nation and ultimately define them.
