    In Judaism, their perspective on this concept is that one who has mistreated another must earnestly seek forgiveness from them, and they are expected to do so a number of times. The victim will be held accountable for the individual’s actions if they do not grant forgiveness, as it is their religious responsibility to do so, and thus, the person who has pursued their pardon will receive this from God instead. This concept of forgiveness is applied throughout the teachings of Judaism. However, if Christians endeavour to achieve forgiveness from God, and have exhibited this to others, the Lord will absolve these individuals from sin. Followers also request that God absolves the acts of unjust from those who committed a sin towards the individual.…

    Many people consider forgiveness as a virtue and something desirable. Nevertheless, people define it differently, probably depending on circumstances. As Jeffrie Murphy puts it, forgiveness is the forswearing of resentment- the resolute overcoming of the anger and hatred that are naturally directed toward a person who has done an unjustified and non-excused moral injury. According to this statement, forgiveness is directly related to moral obligation from individuals. It suggests that unjustified moral injury to a person may cause anger and hatred that can only be overcome through forgiveness.…

    Son Of Saul Themes

    • 359 Words
    • 2 Pages

    After seeing the movie Son of Saul, which was written and directed by László Nemes, Clara Royer, I found it to portray very moving themes, concepts, and ideas that were present throughout the movie; the movie itself was very metaphorical in terms of its general theme. Son of Saul takes place primarily in, one could presume, a Nazi concentration camp during World War II in Germany. Being that Son of Saul was set in an Nazi concentration camp, one could believe that the writers felt it was needed to convey the movie through a first person perspective of a non-jewish man’s eyes. The general plotline of this film was that of a man, known as Saul, searching for a Jewish priest to bless his son’s deceased body, an undisturbed place in which he can…

    Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko is a story about reconstruction, redemption, and the salvation of oneself and world. The mixed narrative of prose and poems follows the recovery of Tayo, a Native American man who returns home to the Laguna Pueblo reservation after fighting in World War II riddled with PTSD and hatred towards the outside world. Tayo 's struggles represent the struggles of the clashing of Native American and White culture both in physical space and within people, as Tayo represents the meeting of these two cultures within a singular person. The narrative traverses both time and space in an unorthodox method forcing the reader to move away from a traditional, western reading of text and to accept a different method in order to…

    The Soloist Themes

    “Music is the mediator between the life of senses and the life of the spirit.” (Beethoven) The story in the book The Soloist by Steve Lopez is a well-presented plot through which we can learn a lot. While the story of the book can be said to be covering a variety of themes; music, homelessness, mental illness, and friendships, I am of the opinion that the themes of mental illness and music are the base of the story. Nathaniel Ayers suffers from schizophrenia, a mental illness that affects his moods and causes him to have bouts of anger, stay in silence and other times speak incoherently.…

    The Importance Of Revenge And Justice

    Those who seek revenge seek a “savage justice (Document D).” When people go out and try to get revenge for the wrong first inflicted on him or her, they overreact and often inflict more sin and hurt on the person than the person originally did. Document D continues to say that this will occur, and that people who are wise will ignore the past, and “know they have enough to do in the present.” Francis Bacon’s ideas are valid points, as looking back on the past prevents the future. The Bible builds on this idea by saying that every single person should “Love [their] enemies, do good to those who hate [them], bless those who curse [them], pray for those who mistreat [them] (Document A),” and by doing so, they are setting an example and perhaps even changing their “enemies” ways.…

    In fact, through the apostle Paul, God instructs believers to turn away from vengeance: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:19-21, King James…

    “All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving; it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive.” (Yann Martle) As the quote from Yann Martle shows above, you can tell that a major theme in Jack London's classic book Call of the Wild is that adaptability is essential for survival, which Buck goes throughout the whole story.…

    Literary texts, although set in a particular time and place, convey ideas that are universal. In which ways, and to what extent, is this true in the work you have studied? Despite the time and place in which a novel is set, they will always convey ideas that are relatable by a wide range of readers, known as a universal theme. These are themes that many people can relate to for a number of reasons, whether it's because they include common life experiences or are simply concepts of human nature and allow readers to connect to the story emotionally. Examples of universal themes that are most commonly conveyed in novels are truth, lies, appearances, reality, fate or destiny.…
