Defending A Mans Honor

The hero of Shakespeare plays to protect the honor of men "Othello" killed his wife to preserve the glory. In the era of the theater, women should obey their husbands to show honor. The characters Iago and Othello reflect their attitudes to their wives and give them reasons to feel the killing of these women. I insulted him by exposing his manipulation of Othello and Casio, so Iago killed Emilia. Othello killed Tessmunda because of imaginary infidelity, which made him look stupid.

In the United States, battle has long fought women's hands and protected the glory of men, but this duel has new importance. It is used to solve political differences. The battle between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Bar is probably the most famous, but it is not uncommon in politics. There are few people who can resist this public challenge. Even Abraham Lincoln was asked to fight: he called a man "smelly, stupid liar" in the newspaper editorial. Lincoln chose a sword instead of a pistol and expected long arm to be advantageous. He finally apologized and completely avoided the duel

Like many early American customs, duels are imported. Since the Middle Ages, the nobility of Europe has defended their honor in the fight between people. Early battle was called "battle of justice". Because God was told that a man who was given the right to win against him was tried. In times when it is known for its bloody encounter, judicial struggle can prevent people from killing passionate enthusiasm. Nevertheless, many authorities, including heads of state and Catholic churches, banned the duel - have little effect

On the other hand, Americans accepted the battle and believed that he had the right and obligation to protect honor, but on the other hand they feel uneasy about their existence. After Aaron Burr killed the former finance minister in a fight with Alexander Hamilton, the angry mass asked for action and Burr was charged with murder. He has never been convicted and never tried, but public opinion is completely against him and his political career has been completed.
