Oh, Tommen. Sweet, naïve young Tommen. You really know nothing of this world. It was troubling to Cersei that he would soon be king, when he displayed so few of the qualities she deemed important to the position. Whatever could be said about Joffrey, he did not suffer fools lightly, and this Margaery Tyrell was a fool if she thought she could dance with the Lannisters. She knew, of course, that it was not solely Margaery; Olenna Tyrell was a conniving bitch, and the sooner the old hag kicked the bucket the better. "We'll see, my dear," Cersei replied, drawing her head back from her son's chest and giving him a weak smile. "It's difficult to trust anyone right now, but as long as we have each other I am sure everything will work out fine. First
Another cause for his unpopularity was the question of benevolences. When he was crowned Richard promised to stop the use of benevolences as this was particularly disliked by the nobles. However because of the war with Scotland , the threat of Henry and rebellions Richard had to later ask for benevolences once again. This made him even more
...see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky;” He uses historical and biblical evidence to support his arguments. He organizes his arguments perfectly in order to persuade in the most effective way possible. King knew rhetoric. At the end of his letter, he finished up by showing his true reason for fighting his fight. He said, “If I have said anything in this letter that overstates the truth and indicates an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said anything that understates the truth and indicates my having a patience that allows me to settle for anything less that brotherhood, I beg God to forgive me.”
But Buckingham knows what to do. He tells Richard to take two priests with him, since the people are very religious and will follow the priest's’ actions. After doing as if he was denying the request for being the king, the crowd tried to persuade him. Because of doing as if he didn’t want the crown, the crowd thought they could trust him more, and begged him to be the king. Eventually he said yes, and finally became king of England. He orders Buckingham to kill prince Edward, but Buckingham refuses to. He asks for his Earlship, but Richard gets mad and dismisses him. He knows he also has to get rid of Buckingham now, since he is not loyal to him anymore. He hires a murderer called Tyrrel to kill the princes and finally he got rid of

Creon does not want to be a bad king, using his power for evil things, but instead, he wants to be seen as strong and great king, but his temper and arrogance stops him from becoming a good king, and he stays more like a tyrant, the people only keeping their mouths shut because they are afraid to speak. For example, in lines (8-64) he gives a speech to the people of the town. He states that “As for the man who sets private friendship above the public welfare, I have no use of him either”(lines 23-24).He is being cruel, so the people of Thebes do not take him for an easy king but rather fear him if they do not obey his laws. This puts them in a tough situation, whether they should listen to their friends and the gods, or to Creon’s tyrical rule. Creon states, “As I see it, whoever assumes the task, the awesome task of setting the city’s course, and refuses to adopt the soundest policies but fearing someone, keeps his lips locked tight, and he’s utterly worthless” (lines 198-202). This shows Creon thinks that a good leader should be powerful and set firm, strict laws in order to be respected. He believes that if someone di...
Creon wants to be respected and feared as a king because this will prove him to be the
Elizabeth’s relationship with her elder male cousin, the Duke of Norfolk, was not good at all. The Duke of Norfolk wanted to kill Elizabeth because he wanted to become the king of England. Becoming the king of England was impossible while Elizabeth was still the queen. When Mary was on her deathbed with cancer the Duke of Norfolk tried to get Mary to sign a paper that would allow him to kill Elizabeth and become King of England. The Duke of Norfolk would speak against Queen Elizabeth and try to turn England against her. At one meeting she had to lock him and his men up so he wouldn’t cause a disturbance. They both had their differences.
Tyrion tries to convince the people there that he is not guilty for this crime. He does this in a rather abnormal manor, he says that he wishes he had killed him. The line that best illustrates this is when Tyrion says “I did not kill Joffrey but I wish that I had. Watching your vicious … die gave me more relief…” (Pages). Earlier in this same scene Tyrion says “I saved you. I saved this city and all your worthless lives. I should have let Stannis kill you all - -“(Pages). In this quote Tyrion states that the city would not be alive without his help. This is a blatant appeal to pathos because he saved everyone. If you read through the lines a little bit it appears that he is trying to be forgiven for this apparent act because he saved the city. In the quote about him wishing he had killed Joffrey his tone comes off as angered and yet honest as if he had wished he had killed
She said, “I will save you!” and she hurled the water at the Witch. Dorothy then trips on a silver nail, on the wooden floor. She falls faintly and passes out. Dorothy has a concussion and her soul detaches. The flying water lands on the Witch and her soul ends up with Dorothy’s soul in limbo.
He probably didn’t intend to kill JonBenet but out of great anger and jealousy it happened.
“Yeah, I’ve known him since I was a little girl. He was a friend of my mother’s as well,” replied Cassi. She looked as if she had just seen a ghost. “Do you think he knows what’s going on?”
Creon's insecurity blinds his ability to direct order in his country properly. After Antigone buried Polyneices Creon felt he needed to take a strong stand or people would think he would always be lenient toward criminals. However, to achieve this Creon felt he needed to take drastic action against Antigone. He once even said to his son, Haimon, who was about to marry Antigone, "The woman dies. I suppose she'll plead family ties. Well, let her. If I permit my own family to rebel, how shall I earn the world's obedience?" (19) This quote shows that Creon feels that to prove himself to the country he needs to earn the "world's obedience".
“If not before, then do it now,” Ron’s tone is somber and serious. “And be cautious with it.”
and reflected on her dangerous, ominous surroundings. Tanya was being very observant, being clear to spot the emotions of the Parisians. She had always hated Paris and how it was occupied with its happy citizens and perfect economy. It was too happy, too perfect. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel violent. This nourished and grew her unhappiness, and caused it to occur in the first place. Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Georgina Barlow. Georgina was the most daring, most famous policeman, with her charming smile and perfect teeth. Too charming. Too perfect. Georgina had always opposed Tanya. Georgina hated how Tanya wanted to destroy Paris’ happiness. Tanya hated Georgina,
“It’s all right.” He stoked her damp hair. “Merrion and Jacob understand. They do. Perhaps they know each other now. Wouldn’t that be something?”
