Everyday around the world,crimes are committed. These crimes are committed by both adults and teenagers. Like adults, juveniles also commit crimes like manslaughter, murder and homicide. Should teens who commit these crimes be tried as adults? In my opinion teenagers who manslaughter, murder and homicide should be tried as adults and/or Juvenile Life without Parole (JLWOP). First off, there are two types of manslaughter: Voluntary and Involuntary. The difference between them is that voluntary…

Throughout his journey, he learns the genuine truth about himself and in the end, succeeds in finding the murderer and punishes himself to save his city. Throughout the play, Oedipus’ perception of justice is seen throughout the entire Sophocles play. In the beginning of the play, Oedipus’ interpretation of justice is seen…

written by Sophocles. Aristotle says that tragedy is “an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude.” A tragedy is meant to evoke both pity and fear unto the reader or audience. An example of this would be when Oedipus gouges out his eyes; you feel pity for him and also afraid. Aristotle wrote that tragedy should afflict a mostly good character who makes a big mistake. For instance, if the character is bad and makes a big mistake there is no pity for the…

misery. This quote shows his misery “Kill me hurl me into the sea where you can never look again” (Sophocles 321). This quote shows that he is done with all the misery he is suffering and wants to end it all. We placed this quote by his head because he gouges his eyes out so he no longer has to see any more misery in the world. Now that he knows the truth he is physically blinded. These quotes show how Oedipus feels through what he is…

Oedipus. After a harrowing journey of trying to find out if he is indeed the killer, the prophecy is proved right. Oedipus seeks to kill his wife whom he now knows is his biological mother, finding she hanged herself in her chambers. In his despair, he gouges his eyes out. (Oedipus the King, p 33-188). The irony is clear; if he had remained blind to his future, his choices would not have created the figurative and literal blindness he undergoes. This builds the argument that human curiosity is…

finding out if he was the one that killed Laius, but at the same time, his excessive pride makes him believe that he is too “god like” and powerful to have done something as evil as murder. This causes Oedipus to practically lose his mind and eventually gouge out his own eyes when he sees how the decisions he is making are affecting the people around him. Unfortunately, his hubris is the cause of all the tragic events throughout the story and at the end, he is dethroned and send out of the land…

Samuel Butler wrote, "A blind man knows he cannot see and is glad to be led, though it is a dog; but he that is blind in his understanding, which is the worst blindness of all, believes he sees as the best and scorns a guide." Blindness appears to all people even if they possess the ability to "see". People tend to avoid realizing the truth or completely understanding a situation. In Oedipus the King, Sophocles uses blindness as a motif by making Oedipus blind through his refusal to see the…
