Femicides occur when men think of women as their personal possessions, when they get this idiotic idea that is: “she belongs to me so I can do whatever i want to…

“benefit”. Mill allowed for a personal definition of utility to attempt to introduce flexibility that was not present in the previous more Hedonic iterations of the school of thought.

In Hamlet by Shakespeare, there are two central ideas. Those two central ideas are to not overthink a situation and to not let revenge overpower conscience. Throughout the play, each central idea develops the other. As well, Shakespeare’s use of conflict develops the central ideas. One central idea is to not overthink a situation.
