Answer 1

Answer:

Intentions can’t ever justify actions. If intentions were to justify actions, the entire world would be thrown into a chaotic state. I would never ever, like Horace do actions and justify to suit them according to my needs. There might be situations in which we might act less than honestly, but the purpose of these actions must be to do good to others.

Answer 2

Hi friend,

Here is your answer

Yes, intentions do justify actions. Sometimes, it happens that a wrong is committed while the intention was honest and fair. In such cases, the courts of justice do count the intentions of the doer.

In this case, Horace’s intention when he entered the house was to commit a theft. Hence, no court would condone his actions. However, when he opened the safe without his gloves and handed over all the jewels to the young lady in red, his intention was honest and fair. And this can’t be ignored and justice must be done accordingly. However, it is not excusable if one acts less than honestly.

At least, Horace Danby should be punished because he made an illegal entry in the absence of the owner of the house.

Hope this helps.
