... prosecution however when they say that murder is
unlawful, but would you say what George Milton did was murder? He was saving a
life more than taking one. Lenny was already "dead" in a sense at the point that
George pulled the trigger. There were a lot of men with shotguns and hunting
dogs searching for Lenny, who had absolutely NO chance of escape. For the men
who worked at the farm were almost on to where Lenny was hiding and there was no
time for Lenny and George to run. If Lenny were to fall in the hands of the
people, he would have been tortured and killed. He would have died with the

parent's strife". (Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the

the marriage a secret caused Romeo and Juliet to turn to other people
for help. Sometimes these people gave them the wrong advice or just
betrayed them.
The Nurse was one of these characters who betrayed the young

... is used by members of that society. As
he becomes alienated from his former, traditional, society, Baumer
simultaneously is able to communicate effectively only with his
military comrades. Since the novel is told from the first person point
