Mrs. Sinico's character is not the main character in the story. We read the story mostly from the point of view, thoughts and inspirations of Mr. Duffy, thus he is the main source through which we can observe her character, along side with other sources, such as her family and after her death, from a newspaper article and witnesses: " The deceased had been in the habit of crossing the lines late at night from platform to platform...", "Captain Sinico, of Leoville, Sydney Parade, husband of the deceased, also gave evidence... They had been married for twenty-two years and had lived happily until about two years ago when his wife began to be rather intemperate in her habits"; "Miss Mary Sinico said that of late her mother had been in the habit of going out at night to buy spirits. She, witness, had often tried to reason with her mother and had induced her to join a League." (126). Hence, We can only guess about the cause of her death and the reasons behind it. We don't know if she committed suicide, or if her death was an accident. From the article describing her death, we learn that she was drinking and aimlessly wandering the city - but did she intentionally walk in front of the train? There is evidence that she knew the train was coming and deliberately let herself be hit, but it's also possible that she was just drunk and didn't know what was going on. The question of blame is constantly brought up in the article ("he did not think the railway officials were to blame", "exonerated Lennon from all blame", "No blame attached to anyone" [128]), indicating the importance of responsibility regarding her death.
In order to understand what led to her death, we first need to understand her character. As mentioned, most of the info...

...ion is why. It is obvious throughout the story that she was a lonely person. We don't need Mr. Duffy at the end to tell us that. She is woman who has a husband who ignores her for the most part and her daughter doesn't seem to care enough about her to help her when she is having a crisis. We don't know what happened to her in the four years following hers and Mr. Duffy's break-up, but we can imagine her life hasn't changed for the better, since she had started drinking two years later. Those two years, as West and Hendricks mentioned, are proof that Mr. Duffy is not alone in blame. Of course, blame can be attached to her husband and daughter as well, since they were her family. Her suicide was probably a combination of all of those reasons together that drove her to death. Mr. Duffy's rejection was probably just the last straw in the lonely, sad life that she lived.
On June 7th 2008, Sarah May Ward was arrested for the murder of Eli Westlake after she ran him over in a motor vehicle in St. Leonards. Prior to the incident the offender had been driving the wrong way down Christine Lane which was a one way street. Whilst this was occurring she was intoxicated, under the influence of marijuana, valium, and ecstasy and was unlicensed to drive. The victim and his brother who were also intoxicated, where walking down the lane and where nearly hit by the offender. This prompted the victim to throw cheese balls at the car and make a few sarcastic remarks regarding her driving ability. After a brief confrontation between the two parties the victim and his brother turned away and proceeded to walk down Lithgow Street. The offender followed the victim into the street and drove into him while he was crossing a driveway.
Barbara Huttman’s “A Crime of Compassion” has many warrants yet the thesis is not qualified. This is a story that explains the struggles of being a nurse and having to make split-second decisions, whether they are right or wrong. Barbara was a nurse who was taking care of a cancer patient named Mac. Mac had wasted away to a 60-pound skeleton (95). When he walked into the hospital, he was a macho police officer who believed he could single-handedly protect the whole city (95). His condition worsened every day until it got so bad that he had to be resuscitated two or three times a day. Barbara eventually gave into his wishes to be let go. Do you believe we should have the right to die?

... sins, but she can’t take back what she did so she will forever have blood on her hands. This guilt and all of the lies she has told is giving her true trepidation and in the end she decided to end her terror by taking her life.
She always talked about wanting to get away from the people and big city when she was older. She had plans of starting a life and did not want her kids accustomed to the big life she received. It all started making sense now. We believe she knew she was struggling with the cartel and wanted out of it. Fast. Some threats we heard when she would need to return money or drugs to the drug mules, were excruciating to hear. Mrs. White says, “I wish i would have known what was going on. I would have gotten her out of this right away. I do not understand how she hid it so well. She was looking as great as always and always had a smile. Long blonde hair and blue eyes. Toned and very athletic. I guess I could say she was strong enough to handle this battle and keep herself presentable. Her death has murdered me inside.”
It is clear that tripped her husband and killed him because the glass in Mr. Volupides hand, didn’t break, She was cooking something while she was drunk and her husband was dead on the stairs, and lastly because she had guests coming over when her husband was dead.
He tells her not to make a fuss about it because it's not good for his job who would tell their wife that or maybe someone who doesn't care. A mean man he is a cruel hearted man but mary still loved him mary felt broken hearted but tried to ignore it. He had no feelings for her and if he did he wouldn't have tried to leave her and would have worked out the problem.the officers said that he was a” ladies man” what if he didn't die would he have did this to another lady.
She constantly tries to avoid her death by saying The Misfit is a good man and he wouldn't shoot an elder lady. She even goes on to try to connect with him to save herself but that only leads her to her ultimate death. On page 884 it says, “‘Why you're one of my babies. You're one of my own children!' She reached out and touched him on the shoulder. The Misfit sprung back as if a snake had bitten him and shot her three times through the chest”(O’Conner 884). Her actions and her selfishness lead her to a death she wasn't expecting. Her actions also lead her family to their death and when they were killed she didn't seem to care, she just wanted to save
It is this selfishness that makes it hard for the reader to be empathetic towards her later in the play, as it is evident in this scene that her hardships were brought on by herself. If she hadn’t insisted on the murder, she would not be driven insane by guilt, which would eventually lead to her death.... ... middle of paper ... ... As we saw, it was plaguing her dreams, and taking a heavy toll on her mental health.
...hair, she decides to kill herself because she thinks that is what Hugo would have wanted, "She climbed up on the chair, her eyes staring in front of her like a sleepwalker's... She adjusted the noose round her neck. Hugo was there to see she did what she had to do. She kicked away the chair...."(269). This shows that even though she hid her guilt, it was there all along. When she could no longer control it, she takes her own life.
Throughout Mr. Duffy’s life he has never found a satisfactory choice with anything, which explains why he sticks to a simple, plain, and routine life. He also never gave much thought to his own feelings or wrote them down most likely to assert his decision of being alone, so he wouldn’t start to rethink his decisions. But when he met Mrs. Sinico, they’re intimate discussions slowly led him into breaking down that wall that kept out all people from getting close to him. He was starting to unconsciously enjoy the company of an intimate friendship, but he couldn’t let it last for long so he pushed her away. For the longest time he didn’t realize that he missed that company until he was informed of her suicide. As he walked around the city listening for her voice to come and comfort him in his moment of shame and sorrow he finally understood for the first time in his life that he didn’t want to be alone.
Beloved, she was exactly as her name. A spirit that came and left just like the wind. Although she caused a lot of broken hearts and pain. She never meant to hurt anyone, she just wanted rest and the only way to receive that rest was by revisiting the woman that caused her pain and murdered her.
... she was scared and alone. With the Grandmother, she already prepared to die if anything happens. She doesn’t have to wear the fancy outfit for the trip but she did it anyways. At the end, she refuses to die and begs for survival.
