Question: If the book has villain, was his or her punishment justified?

Starting off the book Dark Tower: The drawing of three I would think the main antagonist would still be the Man in black who was the villain in The Gunslinger(The first book of The trilogy Dark Tower). Thru the book it never goes in depth on who really is the true antagonist making you guess who will turn to be evil or will the man in black ever show up again. But it turns out to be a man named jack mort who is a sociopath that enjoys causing any people pain in their life. Jack Mort has many actions that would declare him a antagonist like how he was the one who gave Odetta her alternative evil personality, or that he pushed her in front of a subway making her never be able to walk again, last but not lease he was responsible for the death of Jake Chambers the main protagonist of the book The Gunslinger. …show more content…

The question is do I think that his punishment is justified and to explain why. Yes this punishment was fitting for him seeing all the harm he has done just to some of the characters through the book I would hate to hear how many other people’s life’s he has affected. In other books I have heard of them trying to get the person to change or bringing them on to their side but with this type of character I believe he is just pure evil seeing that he has no true motive on hurting people and just doing it for pure enjoyment. He would end up just hurting more people in the end and cause more problems so dying was a fitting end for this character to go out

A villain can be defined as an evil character in a story that tends to have a negative effect on the other characters in the story. They are typically cruel and malicious and often consumed with a ruthless conviction to carry out a certain wickedness or crime. Sometimes they may be portrayed as having some redeeming quality but, at the end of the day part of being a truly great and heinous villain is doing something that most people would never dream of doing.

This makes murder justifiable because if the murder did not happen, Ponyboy would have gotten hurt which would have taken a large toll on Johnny and all Ponyboy’s friends and family.

I do believe offenders deserve to be punished, or as how the book says, “paid back” for the crimes they commit. Not always on the terms that is has to be in the same severity of their offense, but if someone, with no doubt, committed first degree murder then I think the death penalty should be considered as the punishment. That is, the defendant performed the crime with premeditation, knew exactly what they wanted to do and did it cold blooded without a second thought. As long as the legal representation is adequate, the evidence of the trial proves without a doubt and the verdict in is guilty of first degree murder, I do believe the death penalty should be the punishment.

Either way you look at it though, it can be easily seen that the way we have done human experimentation and for most, the reasons for doing them are immoral and definitely should be considered one of the worst ideas used in history. Human experimentation is definitely a topic worth understanding.
