War and Peace
(1) Discuss the specific background, the nature and impact surrounding the dual by Pierre, and then analyze the role of duel in Russian society. Do you think that it was morally a good or bad thing—please answer in detail, why you think the case is so—can we find contemporary examples of dual as a means of settling disputes today? What are the alternatives, and which methods would you prefer and why? Pierre duals with Dolokhov to a dual because he had heard about Dolokhov’s intimate relationship with his wife. They were in a dinner party and Pierre gets reminded that he had something going on with his wife. A thought of he and his wife enrages Pierre and he challenges him to a dual. Pierre wins and Dolokhov goes to Moscow. In a dual there are certain rules to follow. Though today, there are still rules, but others decide if your doings are bad or good. In that time, if you had a problem with someone you would challenge him or her on a dual. Today, we can see a lot of backstabbing of one another. To become the best at something, rather than fighting fair and square they play dirty schemes to make the opponent loose. Winning in this matter, seems to be the right way now. Winning fair is the stupid way. People would say why
The society we live today, I think is similar to the basis of Freemasonry. Many men and women are trying to shape themselves to be the best and perfect themselves for the society out there. But, because everyone is trying to be the best, sometimes they tend to overdo it by constantly trying to oppress others by hurting their peers. Self-perfection could be defined as selfishness.
