During his journey to court, he explained the person he was and defended himself to the end even though the jury still sentenced him to death. Deep down, Socrates always knew he was a good man. He says: “The hour of departure has come and we go our way: I to die and you to live. God alone knows what is best” (Plato, 1871, par. 75). This really shows how Socrates does not regret the life he lived or the things he had done. I really enjoyed this story because the lessons it taught were very enriching. Even though Socrates dies unjustly, he chose to live by a high moral standard and never give in to pressure from others.
