Q) Though the term ____ _____ has a medieval significance, In
modern terminology it has acquired usage referring to the act of
seeking and persecuting any perceived enemy, particularly when
the search is conducted using extreme measures and with little
regard to actual guilt or innocence. It is used whether or not it is
sanctioned by the government, or merely occurs within the
"court of public opinion".
An early instance is George Orwell's Homage to
Catalonia(1938). The term is used by Orwell to describe how,
in the Spanish Civil War, political persecutions became a
regular occurrence.
The term is used when a search for wrongdoers becomes

accusation. For example, a History channel documentary
explains that "the search for runaway slaves becomes a _____

Q) ______ ____ is a Latin phrase translated as "Remember
your mortality", "Remember you must die" or "Remember you
will die". Popular belief says the phrase originated in ancient
Rome: As a Roman general was parading through the streets
during a victory triumph, standing behind him was his slave,
tasked with reminding the general that, although at his peak
today, tomorrow he could fall, or — more likely — be brought
down. The servant is thought to have conveyed this with the
warning, “_____ ___". In the Christian context, the ____
____ acquires a moralizing purpose quite opposed to
the Nunc est bibendum theme of Classical antiquity. To the
Christian, the prospect of death serves to emphasize the
emptiness and fleetingness of earthly pleasures, luxuries, and
achievements, and thus also as an invitation to focus one's
thoughts on the prospect of the afterlife.

knowledge and magic powers and pleasures of all the world. In

There’s a bargain M will serve ‘E’ with his magic powers for a
term of years (or E’s whole life), but at the end of the term, the
devil will claim E's soul and later ‘E’ will serve the devil in hell.

During the term of the bargain, ‘E’ makes use of M in various
ways like seducing a beautiful and innocent girl, named
Gretchen, whose life (and family) is ultimately destroyed.

grace via his constant striving—in combination with Gretchen's
