Snap! The sound of bones and cartilage tearing and ripping comes from a man suspected of treason. But should such a torturous method be used and is it a good way to get answers they want? “The purpose of torture is not getting information. It's spreading fear.” As said by Eduardo Galeano. The use of the rack as most other torture devices is to stop others from wanting to as the one in pain has done. In most cases the information gathered from torture is generally unreliable. Such is true…

The Tragedy Macbeth, a tragic play written by Williams Shakespeare, shows a couple and their ambition for Macbeth to become King of Scotland. This play implies that ambition can cause people to commit treason or even murder in order to achieve power.

Macbeth soon shows his ambition to become the…

committed treason. The death penalty is a justified punishment for sane people who deliberately kill and execute people in cold blood. As well as the people who sanely betray their country. As for the wrongly convicted, only 151 people, it seems that they might need to find a better representative (Facts About The Death Penalty). The death penalty is a humane way to execute those who, in their sane mind, murder or commit treason. The execution of serial killers and those who commit treason is…

This creates a feeling that she is blaming the reason that King Duncan resembles her father for not being able to commit the treason and make her husband the king herself.
