Death in Dark Souls II is one of the major feedback loops in the game. The player is reduced to zero health, becomes hollowed, drops all souls being carried, a bloodstain is left where the player died at, and then respawns at the last visited bonfire. The player then can go retrieve their lost souls by making it back to the bloodstain. The only random factor in the game is who will invade the player. Players can be invaded as long as they are playing online and are not hollowed. If these two factors are present the player can be invaded by any

    Death is shared among all living things, but whether it is bad varies depending on beliefs and values. Socrates explains in the Phaedo that death is not bad and he looks forward to death as a philosopher. His main reason as to why he looks forward to death is his belief that the soul is immortal. In Phaedo Socrates says that he and other philosophers spend their whole life preparing for death and strengthening their souls. While on the other hand, The Death of Ivan Ilych, by Leo Tolstoy tells a story of someone who gets hit with an unexpected and painful death and realizes that he regrets his whole life.…

    The “cyclical argument” of the Phaedo imparts the ideology Socrates had in regard to the immortality of the soul and his views about death, which he was about to face himself.

He even informs them that he believes in the soul and the afterlife. After his friends vocalized their skepticism of his beliefs, he begins a discourse in which he attempts to prove the immortality of the soul.…

    Everyone has there own opinion on different things based on their own life experiences. We each view things differently as far as what we think is right or wrong, and some people may or may not agree. For me, the book Hard Measures shows us the things people will do in order to get what they want. In The Lucifer Effect I believe this book shows us what we will do when we are given power and privilege, it also helps us get a better understanding of why people do what they do. These two books as you would think do in way go hand in hand.…

    In discussions of death, a controversial issue has been whether death is bad for the person that dies. According to Epicurus and Rosenbaum, humans should not fear death because they are unaware of their death and therefore death cannot be bad for them. According to Nagel, however, says death is bad for the person who dies because it deprives that person of all the good that life can bring them. Therefore, they disagree on whether death is implicitly bad for the person that dies. Epicurus argument goes as follows:…

Writers typically use death as a motif to reinforce a theme hidden in the core of a story or an overarching truth pointing to the moral of the story. In August Wilsons’ Fences, the motif of death arguably acts as a character in the play. Death is repeatedly personified and metaphorically compared to baseball. The frequent presence of death as a character in the play reinforces the theme that death is an inevitable force.…
