Torture And Execution

In Shakespeare's time, there were lots of execution types in England.It was basically done to put fear in common people to show what the outcome can be for treason, stealing and other crimes.There were many kinds of punishment. For example if you drink in the weekend you will be put in public torture and people can throw vegetables, dead animals which can lead to injuries. Other serious punisments are from treason or conspiracy. Some of the methods were very painful and inflicting pain for minutes before killing. One example of this is drawing and quartering. In this type of method the person is first stretched by all hands and feet by horses, then his internal body parts are slowly taken out infront of him without killing him. Then after he is dead all is limbs are cut off then his body is quartered into four pieces.

I think corporal and capital punishment work because people will think twice before commiting any crime or they will suffer the consequences for their actions.

Best Scene Of Odysseus

The best scene I liked was the part where Odysseus started to kill all the suitors. The characters that were involved in this scene was Odysseus, Telamechas , the suitors and few other friends of Odysseus. It was the scene right after Odysseus passed the test of shotting an arrow through 12 arrows.


I liked the scene because in this scene how strong Odysseus and Telemechas are. They killed hundred of suitors like it is drinking water for them. It makes me feel happy because I would had done the same if I was on his shoes. Those suitors were trying to steal his world from him.
