Honor is the feeling or expression of admiration, respect or esteem. To whom did the Executioner's honor belong? To Headquarters? To ? Well, this changed, not only in direction but also in intensity. At first, the Executioner mentioned his first experiences of killing the enemy-soldiers headquarters had handed down to him. He described them as "delicate assignments". The first time, he said he threw up. The second, he was ill for days, the third, drank a bottle of alcohol, the fourth, a few glasses of beer, the 5th he joked about ...

finger. Neal and Brenda's families are obviously placed in different social
brackets and this adds to the conflict that the relationship is not equal.

King Lear
... commits an inconceivable crime. Edmund
has reached a point in his pursuit of power that he will
stop at nothing to gain more. He writes another letter.
This one is similar to the first, except instead of
implicating his brother to his father, it implicates his
father in a plot with France to kill The Duke of Cornwall.
The King decides that Gloucester’s supposed treachery
cannot be tolerated and orders that his eyes be torn out.

This is undoubtedly false.
Two of the other characters of the play, Goneril and
Regan surely equal Edmund’s ferocity in their quest for
power. Our first glim ...
