Be judge and jury in this short
story about love and murder.
A married couple live in a house
on one side of a river. The wife has a lover who lives on the
other side. The only way to get across the river is to walk
across the bridge or to pay the boatman.
The husband has to go on an overnight
business trip to a faraway town. The wide pleads with him to
take her with him. She knows if that he doesn't she will be
unfaithful to him. The husband absolutely refuses to take her
because she will only be in the way of his important business.
So the husband goes alone.
That night, the wife goes over the bridge and stays with her
lover. Dawn is almost up when the wife leaves because she must
be back home before her husband returns. She starts walking
across the bridge but sees an assassin waiting for her on the
other side. She knows if she tries to cross, he will murder
her. In terror, she runs up the side of the river and asks the
boatman to take her across the river, but he wants too much
money. She doesn't have enough, so he refuses to take her.
The wife runs back to the lover's house and explains her predicament
and asks him to pay the boatman. The lover refuses, telling
her it's her own fault for getting into this situation. As dawn
comes up the wife decides to dash across the bridge. She comes
face to face with the assassin and he kills her.
Now give the names of the five
characters in the order in which you think they were most responsible
for the wife's death. i.e. the wife, husband, lover, assassin,
and boatman in the order you think they are most guilty.
Here's the key to this.
Lover = sex
Wife = fun (could also mean contentment)
Assassin = money
Boatman = magic (could also mean luck)
Husband = love
Each of the characters is a symbol
for one aspect in your life, it reveals what is most important
to you in your life. Therefore, if you thought that the lover
was most responsible, then sex is the most important thing in
your life. If you thought that the wife was second most responsible,
then fun is the second most important thing in your life and
so on.
How accurate were your results?

Love is the most important thing for me! But in no way was any of this the husbands fault! Are you kidding?!

Husband-Boatman-Lover-Assassin-Wife.
Honestly, though, I don't see how the items necessarily relate to the significance attached. I think it may be kind of accurate for me, but that's coincidence. It's not as significant which person you choose, but the reason why.

This does Not match me at all!
Assassin- Uh, duh
Lover- you couldn't spend a few bucks for the woman you did all of... That with?
Boat man- Dude! She is gonna die! Just take her across.
Woman- should not have cheated in the 1st place.
Husband- he didn't know this was going to happen!

Wife: She knew she would get killed and preferred this over telling her husband the truth?!
Lover: He sends another person to their death over a few dollars?
Husband: She pleaded with him and he ignored her
Boatman: Only did his job
Assassin: In some way, only did his job as well

Same logic as Rebecca.
Assassin: uh, he's the one who killed her.
Wife: would've been safer if not for infidelity.
Boatman: c'mon, she's going to get killed! Cut some slack!
Lover: well, she chose him that evening.
Husband: what did he have to do with anything?

Husband - Did he call the hit?
Wife - If she hadn't cheated, this wouldn't have happened
Lover - Turning away HIS lover? Responsible.
Assassin - Just doing his job
Boatman - eh..

I agree with Robin, this test is backward

Assassin - money
Boat man - magic
Lover - sex
Wife - fun
Husband - love
I don't agree with how this reflects yourself. I think love is more important.

This does not match my personality or priorities AT ALL. I would do love, fun, magic, money, sex. I thought assassin, lover, boatman, wife, husband. That would be money, sex, magic, fun, love. This test is backwards. I think everyone should think of their results as from least important to most.

Wife - Was a cheater the entire time for crying out loud. It all started because of her adultery
Lover - Deceived her and backed out. Failed to be responsible
Assassin - He did kill, after all
Boatman - Was just doing his job
Husband - All he is guilty of is trying to work and make money

Assasin - did the deed
husband - I assumed that he hired the assasin.
Lover- creep
wife - foolish
boatman - Did the wife explain her predicament to the boatman? I hope he would have helped her if he knew the situation. If he didn't know, then he is not at fault.
