Up for a MASSAGE of the brain???

[D1gger]

Assassin - He knowingly chose to kill her
Wife - She knowingling chose to cheat and to take her chance on the bridge
Lover - He knowingly chose to not give her the money to avoid death
Husband - He chose to leave her behind, but from the story had no knowledge of the assassin or the lover.
Boatman - He chose not to let her ride for free, but from the story had no knowledge of the assassin.

Wife
Assassin
Lover

Boatman

Though not explicitly spelled out, it's a safe assumption that she told the boatman about the assassin. So unless he husband himself hired the assassin the boatman must be ranked above the husband.

There is a married couple that live in a house on one side of a bridge, the bridge goes across a river and the wife's lover lives on the other side!

The husband has to go to work overnight just to put food on the table. The wife is happy as she will have another chance to be unfaithful.

He knows about the affair and want to give her one more chance to redeem herself. While he?s away she decided to go down to the boatman and after having sex with the boatman, she is still hungry so she goes to see the lover.

After a night of lust and unfaithfulness she realizes she must get home before dawn because her husband will be home soon after.

She decides to cut straight across the bridge to save time but her husband hired an assassin and is waiting to kill her!

So she goes down to the boatman...but as a woman she forgets all her belonging all the time, so she's not able to pay for the ferry.

She runs back up to her lovers house and explains the whole situation and then asks to escape with him. He laughs and says. You ain't even that purty, go home hoe!

desperately she makes a dumb decision to just make a dash for her house regardless of the assassin.

The assassin stabs her to death..............................

There are FIVE characters in this story. The husband. The wife. The lover. The boatman. And the assassin.

Who cares about the wife?s death?

Answer = no one.

Husband - No blame at all without further info (e.g. did he hire the assassin?)

Agreed except that lover should be on the same level as wife. Both created the situation (the affair), and while the wife chose to dash across the bridge, the lover knew that she had no other choice.

The boatman is a total stranger, and for all he knows the wife was just going to find someone to borrow some money. In fact depending on their conversation the boatman can be placed last along with the husband.

This one made me laugh!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

[LeiZaK]

The wife's mother is the most responsible.

 

[GasX]

1. the cheating whore (she got herself into this mess)
2. the stupid bitch (she new the assassin was there)
3. the assassin (well, he did kill her...)
4. her parents for not teaching her to swim
5. the dim witted broad for not blowing the boatman for a free ride.

 

[everman]

An assassin is a hired killer, so whoever hired him is most responsible.

I think the wife bears more blame than the lover because the wife is the one that is actually cheating. I think whether the boatman is put on the same level as the husband depends on if you think the wife told the boatman about the assassin. According to the story she talked to the boatman after she found out about the assassin. So although the story doesn't say she told the boatman, I can't think of why she wouldn't. It would be her only card to play to convince the boatman to take her back across without pay. But if you go with the thinking that since the story didn't say it she must not have told the boatman about the assassin, then I'd have to agree that the boatman then bears almost no blame.

Interesting people here think a cheating wife deserves to be killed.

Im assuming the husband hired the assassin... since assassins dont usually just chill on bridges waiting to kill people soo

1) Husband - [assuming he paid the assassin to kill]
2) Assassin - [just business as usual]
3) Wife - [got herself into the mess]
4) Lover - [not responsible since he just wanted an easy lay, and threw her out like trash]
5) Boatman - [u dont get a taxi for free, why should he care in the first place... looks like he doesnt know shes in a life or death situation either]

[gotsmack]

1. The Wife- She knew she would die if she tried to walk the bridge. It would be a totally different story if she didn't know. She gambled and lost, her own fault.

2. The Assassin- Did the actual killing, but the wife knew where the assassin would be.

3. The Lover- Not so much at fault, but it is kind of a crap thing to do to someone you know and don't hate.

4. The Boat Man- Not really at fault here, but someone has to take slot #4.

5. The Husband- No fault here. He didn't know his wife was going to get murdered on the bridge.

 

[Azraele]

I think she bears sole responsibility for being unfaithful in the first place. If she had been faithful, she would never have beeen out that night.

 

[Midlander]

Amazing post for a n00b.

 

[IEC]

You're responsible.

No way. You can't absolve the actual killer just because the woman shouldn't have been out cheating.

 

[Cookie]

Seeing as this is a male dominated forum and reading all the comments such as "The unfaithful fvcking slut is responsible for her own death as is usually the case.", I have to ask...

Would the answers be similar if the genders were reversed and it was the wife out of town and the cheating husband who was killed. Or does the husband get a break because the dumb bitch wouldn't take him with her on the business trip.

 

[DainBramaged]

1) Assassin - Without him actually committing the crime, it wouldn't have happened.
2) Wife - She could have never gone over, or just waited to cross until her husband got home.
3) Lover - He *knew* the situation but refused to help.
4) Boatman - He didn't necessarily know the situation and he had a business to run.
5) Husband - Not his fault he has a whore for a wife.

 

[flexy]

why the Wife #1 ??? Typical ATOT response

You obviosuly cant see the difference between "being unfaithful" and "getting killed"...so its obviously legitimate for ATOT she being KILLED and even responsible for her own death "because she was unfaithful" ??? What a logic...same logic as in the "porsche pics" thread

Ok...so she "deserved to be killed" because she was unfaithful <--- shakes head....

ATOT would be totally incompetent in a jury

Besides...she KNEW that she will be unfaithful, even admited it to the husband and explained...and he KNOWINGLY refused to take action, eg. take her with on the trip.

1) Assassin (who else) ???? Its a f***g no-brainer..he killed her. Period.

>>>
1. The Wife- She knew she would die if she tried to walk the bridge. It would be a totally different story if she didn't know. She gambled and lost, her own fault.
2. The Assassin- Did the actual killing, but the wife knew where the assassin would be.
>>>

who said she KNEW she would die ? She certainly made the run in attempt NOT to be killed, she took the chance but the attempt failed.
(makes me wonder why she just didnt stay at the lover's house btw


This logic (and other similiar opinions here)...is as like saying:
I KNOW that this or this area in town is really BAD, with gangs and shootings, so..there is a situation where i NEED (!) to go thru this area [since all other ways are blocked, i dont have a choice!)...i get shot.....and then its my own fault that i got shot ? And some other opinions even go like "well....the assasin just did his job" <-- blahblah.....other words: Well..if i got shot by a gang-member...its not REALLY their fault since...well...duh..thats what gang-members usually do


IMHO all other characters are interchangeable...maybe boatsman as last since he didnt know the situation (?).

 

[DainBramaged]

Now that I've read the fault, I have to say that those who don't put the assassin first are dead wrong, at least as far as the law would be concerned. Blaming the wife for charging the bridge knowing that she could die is like saying that you would be more responsible if I kill you after I put up a sign that I would kill anyone who I could see from my house.

There are two characters in your story, possibly responsible for you failing that class: You and the Professor. Who was more responsible?

in your sig... not a single person is holding his/her gun correctly which one are you?
