Recommended: Influence of religion on politics

According to William Shakespeare, “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Osama bin Laden Islamic culture was more than just his religion, it was a key feature in his political beliefs and would influence every decision he came across. Bill Bonner said, “Once upon a time, Osama bin Laden was one of the ‘good guys’ — backed by the CIA — when he was fighting with the mujahideen.

  • The Theme Of Power In Truman Capote's In Cold Blood

    1349 Words  | 3 Pages

    “The paths of glory lead but to the grave,” (Truman Capote, In Cold Blood, 332) Glory is such an estranged concept and what one actually perceives as glory is defined only by personal values. Some value monetary status, or fame, or reputation, being charitable or intellectual- but for a certain few people, glory is power. Glory is knowing that you hold power over life and death. It’s also acting upon that power. The book In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote, follows the case of two men who brutally murdered four innocent people of which neither shared any acquaintance. Their path to this glory of power led to their own graves. Thomas Hardy states, “A story must be exceptional enough to justify its telling. It must have something more unusual to

  • Claudius as Evil in Hamlet by William Shakespeare

    992 Words  | 2 Pages

    The abstract concept of evil has vastly transformed throughout human history, ranging for the supernatural and mystical to the very humans amongst whom we live. In modern times, evil has become an entirely ambiguous term. Who is evil? What is evil? Men like Adolph Hitler and Saddam Hussein have been garnered with the term ‘evil’ for their atrocities against fellow humans. Now it seems evil has a solely human significance; when a person violates the individual rights of others on a massive scale, he/she is evil. In Shakespeare’s time – the Elizabethan era – evil had a similar, but somewhat altered connotation in the human mind. Evil was an entity that violated the English Christian monarchial tradition. Therefore, a man such as Claudius, from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, a cold-blooded murderer and a ruthless manipulator, who uses “rank” deeds to usurp the thrown is in direct violation with the Elizabethan societal norms, and hence he is an evil character.
