Spurn

Brutus decided to join the conspiracy against Brutus. He chose to do this even though he has no grudges against him and there is a possibility that Caesar would have been a noble leader. In the play, Brutus says “I know no personal cause to spurn at him but for the general” meaning that he has no true reason to commit this crime against Caesar. Brutus is one of Caesar’s best friends that he trusts making it seem as though Cassius has much power over him to convince him into thinking of such

race is often so blinded by evil, desire, and rage that they unleash unconditional destruction on anything they touch. Humans require order and society to function, otherwise they succumb to anarchy. William Golding instructs us not to embrace, but spurn evil through the use of the belligerent character Jack, the passive use of Simon, and Jack’s mask.

Christian religion as a tool he can wield for his own advantage. In Charles earlier capitulary concerning Saxons, he harshly enforces Christian practices over pagan ones. He begins by decreeing that anyone who “in contempt of the Christian faith should spurn the holy Lenten fast and eat meat, let him die,” which is not only a surprisingly severe punishment for what would seem to be a fairly harmless crime, it also depicts Charles claiming the ability to enforce Christian practices (Paderborn, 785: 4).

Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son Of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets." In condensed context, this translate into a simply stated answer, focus

Joining the Conspiracy What is a conspiracy?  A conspiracy is a secret plan by a group to do something lawful or harmful.  In Shakespeare’s The tragedy of Julius Caesar, one of the main focuses is a conspiracy and getting Marcus Brutus to join it.  I think that Brutus joining is beneficial.  Brutus wants what is best for Rome and he is very smart. He is well liked by the people     Brutus is a senator in Rome’s republic.  He is noble and caring and wants the republic to remain stable.  In the story

and he even expresses it through his word. When Antonio asks Shylock to lend him money, Shylock says: “Fair sir, you spat on me on Wednesday last, you spurn me such a day, another time you called me a dog; and for these courtesies, I’ll lend you thus much money?” Antonio’s reply is “l am like to call thee so again. To spit on thee again, to spurn thee too. If thou wilt lend this money, lend it as to thy friends, for when did friendship take a breed for barren metal of his friend? But lend it rather

Sexual objectification occurs when a person’s body or body parts are treated as objects to be coveted or desired. Women face sexual objectification everyday and Shange, in her novel For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide, takes several women from ambiguous backgrounds to reiterate the challenges a woman faces in trying to maintain agency over her body through the ubiquitous nature of sexual objectification and its ability to perpetuate gender violence. The first introduction we experience

when they go through a rough time. In Hamlet’s soliloquy, he asks “For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, / Th’ opressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, / the pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,/ the insolence of office, and the spurns/ the patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, / when he himself might his quietus make/ with a bare bodkin?” (To Be or Not to Be) . In Hamlet’s case, death makes all aspects of life seem unimportant because life is so cruel that death seems like a sweet

is there, behind the governments, breathing discord.” (28) While the Nazis may have considered groups such as Slavs and blacks untermensch, the only group they deemed worthwhile of wholesale extermination were the Jews. Even those anti-Semites who spurn violence are no less genocidal: to be an anti-Semite is, in Sartre's words, to “prepare the death of the Jew. To be sure, not all the enemies of the Jew demand his death openly, but the measures they propose — all of which aim at his abasement, at

Once again, Brutus’s character growth is being shown in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. At this point, it is before he had killed Caesar and when he just expressed his idea of it. This was a critical period of growth for Brutus. He was left wondering all the possibilities as to what would happen if Caesar’s power got the best of him. He respects Caesar, but he believes that with all the power he will get, he will turn corruptive. He thinks power changes people and that once given, he will take
