I believe that Billy was the most heroic character in “Billy Budd” than Captain Vere. He was a man that did not argue or be mad even though he was forced on a naval ship. He was generally kind and was liked by other sailors. Even when Captain Vere made him be hang, he accepted the situation, and sacrifice himself for other problems that could happen if he was not punished. While in the other hand.
The cause for all this was the refusal of John Tunstall who refused to surrender the horses which were a payment for an outstanding payment. Tunstall was later shot by protesters protesting the presence of the posse on his land. Billy was affected by the murder; Billy was treated like a son by Tunstall. He swore to take revenge. Sheriffs were after billy when he was suspected of killing their deputies.
Billy in no means was a rambo-esque type bloodthirsty killer, but more the awkward what am I doing here type instead. The innocent optometrist was once again forced into a stressful situation. He was the topic of deliberate bullying from other enlisted men, reasons being from his inability to sleep through the night, which could be linked directly to his traumatic experiences when he was younger, to the fact he couldn't keep up with the other men while participating in physical exercise. This lead to a group of men being killed which i’m sure didn't help bialys conscious. The stress only added up more when Billy had to experience the bombing of the beautiful city of dresden in a meat locker.
Utley did an exceptionally well job not stretching the story of Billy the Kid’s life to the tall tale that some historians have done over time. As I read this book I would look things up when Utley told

Billy's father disappeared early in his life, so his brother, mother, and he moved to Indiana and later to Kansas. When Billy was 15, his mother died and Billy began to get into trouble. He could be charming and polite one moment, then outraged and violent the next. This vioence was key during his heists and robberies. He looked like a nice, respectable "kid", which he used to his advantage.
Billy Budd, Sailor is one of the simplest stories imaginable and yet it has an amazing complexity because of the moral raises by it. Billy Budd, Claggart, and Captain Vere are characters who correspond to a type of human symbolic. Symbolism helps the author to reinforce the image that he wants to give of his characters. Budd is linked to the sun and day. He is blond with blue eyes; his skin is burnished by the sun.

Once he did, he found himself falling down a hole with Walter. They both died from not getting out of the hole in time before they starved.

Billy the Kid was born on November 23, 1859, in New York City to his parents Catherin Bonnie. Later on, Billy’s mother married William Antrim and he became Henry’s stepfather, William had a son Joe McCarty. Henry began adventuring with his newly-found brother. In 1877 Henry was deep into a criminal gang where he assumed the alias “William H. Bonnie.”
In almost everything he does he is the odd man out. Billy seems like the weird person who just always seems out of place and like he doesn't belong. 1969 was the year that this book was published. PTSD was discovered in 1980, so therefore in the book they couldn't define Billy’s condition. As even in reality they didn't know what it was.
Nowhere in the book was it clarified that he actually could or couldn’t. Billy Pilgrim is an actual insane person. Not only did he live through a deadly war, he was also a prisoner of it. He then was the only one to survive an airplane crash. He either has a strong case of survivor's guilt, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Because of Dependent Personality Disorder, not only did Billy feel the need to have a relationship with someone but his relationship was ruined because of his fearful
Many countries played parts in the first world war and each country had many different reasons for why they were involved. The War started in July 28, 1914 and the countries involved in the war were Russia, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, and lastly Austria-Hungary. These are the primary causes for starting World War 1, militarism between Germany and Great Britain, tangled alliances between the countries, and Imperialism with Germany wanting colonies from other countries. Although some people think it was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand caused World War 1 this is incorrect. Militarism had been a much bigger role in the war starting.
