Public Execution | comment |
Since the beginning of recorded history, societies have used execution as the ultimate punishment for unwanted behavior. Performing these executions in public can serve multiple purposes outside of removing the soon-to-be-deceased from society: it can act as a deterrent to warn on-lookers against repeating the behavior in question, it can slake the blood-lust of a wronged and angry populace, it can increase the punishment by adding an element of public humiliation, and at times it can be down-right entertaining! Public executions can come about for any number of reasons. They may be performed by a government as punishment for a crime. They may be carried out by a monarch seeking to suppress the plans of political enemies in order to maintain a solid grasp on the throne. Regular public executions may be broadcast as a kind of spectator sport in a Crapsack World, or in our own world 20 Minutes into the Future. They can even be done on the spur of the moment by an angry mob who manage to get their hands on the source of their ire, without so much as a Kangaroo Court. They are also a favorite of revolutionary forces; if they want to demonstrate what not standing with them will ultimately result in, a torturous and barbaric public execution is a great way to frighten people into standing with them and demoralize opposing forces. The reaction of the In-Universe audience for the execution can serve as a reflection of the moral character of the society at that time. A crowd that does nothing but jeer, egg-on The Executioner, or even attempt to participate in the killing may indicate that the people of the land are blood-thirsty and crude. On the other hand, shock and horror displayed by those in attendance may be a sign that the populace is undergoing a Morality Adjustment for the better, and may even be indicative of growing disfavor for the rulers who would carry out such a barbaric spectacle. Conquerors foolish enough to use a public execution to quell the dissent of a Martyrdom Culture could accidentally provide the last fuel needed to touch off a revolution. A public execution can also be used to show the true character of the condemned. A previously unrepentant criminal may become The Atoner in their final moments, and one who was a badass may break down into uncontrolled sobbing and plead for their life. Characters who truly don't fear death may treat it as a game, laughing and returning the insults of the crowd, or getting one last jab at the ruling government before they die. If the executee is one of the good guys, their public execution may be the backdrop for a Big Damn Heroes moment as their comrades rush in to save the day. Overlaps with Dead Guy on Display, as a public execution is one of the surest ways to make certain (and assure others) that someone is well and truly dead... if the execution isn't botched, or the prisoner rescued. Can also overlap with Deadly Game, in which the condemned are forced to fight for their lives in gladiatorial or gauntlet style contests. Truth in Television for some parts of the world. Burn the Witch! and Hanging Around are notable types, both historically and in fiction. Note that in order to qualify as an example of public execution, the act must be performed in front of a large audience. The modern practice of allowing a handful of witnesses to view an otherwise private execution would not count for the purpose of this trope. This trope is often feedstock to Squick and Nightmare Fuel. |

In the first issue of America's Kingdom, Prince Geoffrey has alleged terrorist Benedictine Arnold beheaded on national television. While he had hoped that it would make for a show of strength, it backfires, as Arnold was the owner of a popular chili restaurant, and thus Geoffrey's already-low approval ratings sink even lower. | |

Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Lady of War Lucia is captured by the Crimean Rebels and nearly hanged in front of Queen Elincia, with the intention of forcing Elincia to surrender the throne. Lucia remains calm and keeps reaffirming her Undying Loyalty to Elincia, even as she's like in the picture. And then... cue the Big Damn Heroes. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Chrom and Lissa's sister Emmeryn is taken to the highest place in Plegia and made to stand on it as Gangrel gets ready to execute her to issue a Sadistic Choice to Chrom regarding the Fire Emblem itself. Then it's subverted since Emmeryn chooses to willingly throw herself off the cliff before Gangrel can execute her. In Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake Echoes: Shadows Of Valentia, Clive's fighting partner and girlfriend Mathilda is slated for execution by Desaix, who explicitly orders to give her a Cruel and Unusual Death via having his archers make a Human Pincushion out of her. The player can stop this since two of their objectives is to take the fortress that she's locked in and the other is to kill Desaix; if the cards are played right, Mathilda will join in. |

In Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Frau Engel makes an announcement she will execute her captive B.J. Blazkowicz at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., with everything happening that's being broadcast for the whole world to see. What's even heartbreaking is that the player has to see it happening from the dying Blazkowicz's perspective while he is suffering from a Heroic BSoD after being sentenced to death. As the public execution is taking place, after Engel exchanges her final words with Blazkowicz, with her sword at the ready, he is Forced to Watch as she decapitates him and shows his head in full view to the cheers of the Nazi army before dropping it into the incinerator below. Fortunately, his allies arrive and rescue his head in the nick of time, keeping it alive as best as they can before transplanting it into his Super Soldier body, reviving Blazkowicz and freeing him from his sick and crippled body, allowing him to come back stronger than ever. | |

Undead or Alive: The fact that a public hanging was to be held the morning after the heroes' escape from jail gave them a head start, as the angry sheriff could not afford to draw the ire of the townsfolk who had assembled to witness the death of Ben Goodman, who had killed and eaten parts of his wife and daughter. (Since Ben was a victim of a zombifying curse, the hanging didn't quite take in the end.) | |

In Loved and Lost, Princess Celestia is judged to be hanged by her nephew Prince Jewelius. Canterlot's citizens initially support this because Jewelius has used her failure to prevent the Changeling invasion to label her as a traitor, and her disillusioned student Twilight Sparkle doesn't try to speak on her behalf. Knowing that she can't convince anypony of Jewelius' true role in the invasion, Celestia instead makes a heartfelt apology to Twilight and everypony else for failing them, raising the sun one last time before graciously accepting her fate. Touched by this, Twilight and the crowd change their mind about the hanging, but Jewelius remains set on his course. Fortunately Luna appears from the crowd to sever the noose with an energy blast before her sister can be strangled. | |

A surprisingly large number of executions have occurred on the Dream SMP. At the Manburg Festival in Season 1, Tubbo is revealed to the public to be The Mole for Pogtopia and Schlatt orders him to be publicly executed at the Festival he decorated for, to the horror and objection of practically everyone else present. Unfortunately for Tubbo, Technoblade doesn't do well under (what he claims to be) peer pressure, and shoots the firework rockets in his face anyway. In Season 2, Techno himself becomes on the receiving end of this trope after the Butcher Army arrests him for destroying the remains of L'Manburg with Withers during the Manburg-Pogtopia War, in addition to their personal grievances against him for traumatizing them for life. However, Techno manages to survive and escape the execution with help from Dream, and vows revenge for what he believes to be an act of injustice against him. The Green Festival on January 5th, 2021 (later in Season 2) was initially planned as a public execution for Dream, but this became subverted when all of the Butcher Army's plans get thrown out the window, as Dream reveals the destruction of the Community House and the shit hits the fan for everyone in attendance. In Season 3, during the Red Banquet, Foolish is ritually sacrificed to the Egg in front of the attendees of the Banquet, because he tried to protect Eret, his Old Friend, from being made an example of by the Eggpire. Fortunately, there weren't any other fatalities once the Big Damn Heroes show up. |

Harry Potter: Hagrid offhandedly reveals he saved Firenze from an attempted public execution in Order of the Phoenix. The rest of the herd was in the process of delivering Firenze a slow painful death by kicking him for deigning to teach to wizards. Afterward Hagrid has to be more cautious in the forest as several members of the herd have made it clear they intend to shoot him to death for his intervention. | |

Rincewind escapes a public execution in The Last Continent. There's a lot made of the execution as entertainment, and as above, pieces of the rope are highly prized souvenirs, although Fair Go Dibbler is somehow able to sell them before the hanging. ("It's still rope, right? Genuine rope.") We're also told of the humanitarian tradition that if the gibbet sticks three times... the prisoner will be given breakfast while someone fixes it. | |

It takes one of these in Black Knight (2001) for Martin Lawrence's character to figure out he's not in a theme park. Jamal himself is about to be executed in public for deflowering the princess (although, apparently, she already wasn't a virgin) and ruining the King's chances of an alliance with the Duke of Normandy. He tries to impress the medieval peasants with his "magical powers", but they're not buying it. Luckily, he's rescued by Sir Nolte. |

In the Planescape campaign its as common as it is in any RPG setting, but the Mercykillers of Sigil have something special for criminals convicted of treason against the city itself. Such criminals are executed publicly by feeding them to the Wyrm, a wyvern that they keep as a mascot. These events are rare, and it's somewhat of a holiday for Sigil when it happens. Everyone comes out to watch. (As long as you aren't too squeamish to watch a man get devoured by a wyvern, but if you live in Sigil for any length of time, that's unlikely to be a problem.) | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): In "The Obsolete Man", Romney Wordsworth uses the opportunity provided by his televised execution for being obsolete to demonstrate that the Chancellor is nothing more than a Dirty Coward by trapping him in his room until just before the bomb explodes. The Chancellor also mentions that the executions of 1,300 people in six hours were shown on television the previous year. In "The Mirror", Ramos Clemente orders the mass public execution of 1,000 prisoners, all of whom are former followers of General De Cruz. The executions continue unabated for a week, to the horror of the people. Clemente tells Father Tomas that they will continue so long as he has enemies. In "I am the Night - Color Me Black", Jagger is publicly executed at 9:30 pm on May 25, 1964. |

In "The Soft War", King Rash of Onderon attempts to have his predecessor King Dendup, whom he usurped, executed by laser-guillotine in front of a large crowd. It takes La Résistance, Ahsoka, and the Heel-Face Turns of the Royal Guard and its general to prevent the execution. |

There are two of these in the course of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The first one occurs minutes into the intro to the game, which has you bound for the headsman's block along with Ulfric Stormcloak and his Stormcloak allies. The guy who gets executed, one of Ulfric's soldiers, is Defiant to the End ("My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperials. Can you say the same?"). You are about to receive the same treatment when the dragon Alduin shows up and starts burning everything to the ground. You bear witness to another execution the first time you visit Solitude. Roggvir, the sentenced, was a gate guard who had allowed Ulfric to leave the city after the latter had challenged and killed High King Torygg in a duel. Roggvir was branded a traitor for this, and, no matter when you reach Solitude, it just so happens that his execution by beheading was scheduled for that time (at least, so long as you enter through the main gate). Roggvir is fated to die whether you choose to intervene or not. |

Marat/Sade: The play-within-a-play being performed by the asylum inmates features them acting out the public execution of the aristocrats by the guillotine during The French Revolution, followed by the execution of the king. Afterwards, the Marquis de Sade, during one of his monologues, compares the "gentleness" of the guillotine to the far more brutal public execution of Robert-François Damiens who, at a much earlier time, had attempted to assassinate Louis XV. He relates that the execution "lasted four hours while the crowd goggled," as Damiens was brutally tortured to death until he was nothing more than "a bloody torso with a nodding head." | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness splatbook actually gives official rules for executing a condemned prisoner, as for how to make a Profession - Execution check to avoid botching an execution. (A botched execution means the victim still dies, but he suffers more, something an executioner with any amount of professional pride tries to avoid; ironically, it also means the victim lives a little longer, opening a larger possibility for rescue if magical healing is available.) It also gives specific results for what happens to a victim in the case of successful and botched results for hangings, beheadings, drawing and quartering, and crucifixion. (This is recommended for NPC villains only, naturally, much like a lot of the stuff in the book.) The mind flayers love to eat brains, but can't fully indulge themselves for fear of going through their supply to fast or risking discovery and retaliation. One solution is the spectacle of performance eating, in which one lucky illithid eats a choice victim before an audience of other illithids, psychically broadcasting every part of the experience, from the crunch of the skull being bitten into to the taste, texture and memories of the brain being consumed, for their peers to enjoy as well. Adventures captured by the mind flayers often suffer this fate, since their brains are full of interesting experiences undulled by extended captivity or psychic thralldom. |

In Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, Nod forces are fond of doing this to suspected traitors. In the opening commander Anton Slavik was himself about to be publicly killed by injection before a faction of the Black Hand rescues him and he later slits the throat of the rogue General Hassan after his capture in front of a spectating crowd. | |

Samurai Executioner: The manga follows a side character from Lone Wolf and Cub, the shogun's blade-tester and executioner Asaemon Yamada. He tries to understand what makes each prisoner commit his crime as he believes they should be repentant when dying, and usually allows last requests. Although the executions aren't public, taking place inside the prison, he's still feared throughout the town for his job. He also gets a lot of stupid people who think that he only kills people who're tied up and dead bodies, making him a pushover in a real fight... and are proven dead wrong. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, we never see one, but it's referenced. When the kids are at a Fire Nation festival in "The Deserter", Aang spots a big crowd and wonders what it's for. Sokka says, "Knowing the Fire Nation, it's probably an execution." In the episode "Avatar Day", Aang himself was set up to be executed for killing a community's leader in a past life (which turned out to be itself an execution mandated and performed by the Avatar of that time, because the leader was a tyrant trying to expand his territory). Fortunately, the Fire Nation chose this exact moment to attack the village, and his punishment was changed to "community service" in the form of driving them off. |

In Flash Gordon, Ming likes to arrange public executions by poisonous gas, while simultaneously making him look regretful for having to enforce the law. In one case, he sentences an ice smuggler to death, who was only smuggling to get extra water to his sick daughter. Ming publicly promises extra water rations for the girl... and then proceeds with her father's execution. In the Grand Finale, Aura and her brother sentence Ming to death, an act that finally earns her Ming's respect, but he's rescued by an ally, who teleports him out of the gas chamber. | |

In Witches Abroad we see a public execution. Some countries cut off a thief's hand so he won't steal again. Lady Lilith cuts off his head so he won't think about stealing again. This is also a good example of the reaction of the public showing the nature of the society; after years of Lilith's rule, the public don't react at all, they just have a dead-eyed stare. | |

Featured in the Tortall Universe as part of its Deliberate Values Dissonance. Keladry is disillusioned by the festival atmosphere when bandits she'd helped capture are given a public hanging, with vendors working the crowd and some selling heroic ballads about the men being hanged. In the Beka Cooper books, the execution of one book's Big Bad happens offscreen but is still mentioned. In that case, the criminal was a counterfeiter who was boiled alive. |

A small town in Girl Genius has "the wheels of justice turning slow, but fine" upon three captured monstrous Super Soldiers. The constable's choice of execution method is...less than efficient. Entertaining, though, it certainly is. At least, Maxim, Oggie, and Dimo think so, from the ends of their respective ropes. More effectively, in the early part of the story we see huge jars with desiccated corpses in them. Agatha later threatens someone with being put in the jars if she tells the Baron what he's done. |

All the executions in Danganronpa's main games count, as the "blackened" (which is to say, the culprit) is getting executed in front of the remaining students. It may seem a bit of a stretch, as the maximum number of people to witness an execution is 14. However, once you consider that everything happening is being broadcasted all over the world for everyone to see, in the first game by the cameras, in the second game because everything is happening in a virtual reality, and in the third game by the Nanokumas, this trope definitely applies. | |

Silo: Because the outside world is thought to be toxic and dangerous, condemnation to go outside and 'clean' the silo's sensors is understood as a death sentence. When Allison says she wants to go outside, Mayor Jahn immediately muses that people will be raring to watch this one because there hasn't been a cleaning in some time. However, it's clear that rather than some part of the viewers watching actually want the cleaners to survive the experience, because that would show that the outside world is habitable. | |

Scar gives Simba a fierce accusatory speech that causes him to experience a Heroic BSoD and successfully corners him up to the top of Pride Rock, with the intent of throwing his nephew to his own demise as he did with Mufasa years ago. However, at that very moment, Scar chooses to reveal to his nephew that it was him who murdered Mufasa, filling Simba with righteous wrath and sealing his own fate in the process. | |

Pirates like Gold Roger in One Piece often receive public executions. According to Igaram, the government pays 30% less for dead pirates because they can't be executed in public. Roger's public execution before the whole world backfired spectacularly for the government, though, as his last words started the first Golden Age of Piracy. Another public execution also backfired in that, while they managed to execute the pirate and managed to take down a larger pirate in the process, the latter's last words kickstarted a second Golden Age of Piracy, one they couldn't easily contain. | |

Kaamelott: One episode has Arthur meet with Lancelot and his father-in-law to discuss executions and how to inject a little variety into the proceedings (Leodagan suggests the wheel as a family venue where everyone can bring their own staff with which to break the condemned's bones, while Lancelot thinks being drawn by horses is more suspenseful as you don't know which limb is going to be ripped off first). The discussion heats up until Arthur snaps and says that one day he'll outright abolish the death penalty, with the other two staring at him like he's grown an extra head. | |

Over the Edge plays it differently in first/second edition and third edition. In first/second edition, the Plaza of Justice holds an iron gallows that is used for executions daily at 3pm during the week, twice a day (noon and 3pm) on weekends. In third edition, the regular executions in the Plaza of Justice still exist, although not necessarily on such a set schedule, and are even bigger events. However, the rights to execute particular criminals are also auctioned off for entertainment. A description of a playtest describes a restaurant executing a seditionist by drowning, for the enjoyment of the diners. |

In the Deryni works, this is practised by those who have political power (kings of Torenth and Gwynedd, and presumably the sovereign rulers in the rest of the Eleven Kingdoms) and those who aspire to it (as when Loris and Sicard prepare to burn Duncan at the stake before the entire Mearan army late in The King's Justice). | |

The scene is a sad counterpoint to Jack Sparrow's rescue from a similar fate, at the end of the first film. Bunches of people show up for the trial and (presumed) subsequent hanging of one Captain Jack Sparrow in the opening of On Stranger Tides. |

There are four instances of the use of capital punishment in Blackadder, at least two of which are public executions (and, given the setting, Amy's offscreen hanging probably was as well): The Black Adder (the first series) episode Witchsmeller Pursuivant deals with witch-hunts. Blackadder is fingered as a witch and narrowly avoids being burnt at the stake thanks to some real witchcraft on the part of Leia and his mother. As an aside, the first witch to be burnt has her pussy-cat burnt alongside her, which particularly distresses Percy. The Blackadder II episode "Head" is all about the public executions at the court of Elizabeth I. As in Discworld there's a gag about the callous crowd desiring souvenirs; Blackadder thinks the execution of Sir Walter Raleigh will attract "sailing enthusiasts", so he should try and sell them souvenir anchors. In the third series episode "Amy and Amiability", it is suggested that Amy has been hanged as a highwayman, though the execution happens offscreen. |

In the first Mistborn book, the Lord Ruler stages public executions to express his displeasure, rounding up a large number of victims (who may have nothing to do with whatever incurred his displeasure) and commanding everyone in the city to witness them being executed. Since those at the back would have a hard time seeing the executions take place, the victims are beheaded four at a time over a fountain until the water is bright red. In another city in the third book, the preferred method of execution is to seal the victims into an abandoned house and burn it to the ground. The charred remains of houses throughout the city stand as a reminder. |

The Handmaid's Tale: The regime carries these out routinely, mostly by hanging, with the bodies left on display to warn others. One special form is Particicution (a Portmanteau of "participation" and "execution"), where the handmaids (usually with no power in their society) tear apart male convicts. This last appears to be when they were convicted of crimes against women. Of course, Ofglen claims that the man we see killed by them didn't actually rape and murder a woman— he was part of the resistance. She knocks him out so he won't suffer, though this reveals her to the Eyes of God. | |

At the end of The Beggar's Opera, Macheath now finds that four more pregnant women each claim him as their husband. He declares that he is ready to be hanged. The narrator (the Beggar), notes that although in a properly moral ending Macheath and the other villains would be hanged, the audience demands a happy ending, and so Macheath is reprieved, and all are invited to a dance of celebration, to celebrate his wedding to Polly. Some stagings, however, have the Beggar making his pronouncement about the need for a happy ending and totally failing to notice Macheath actually being hanged in the background. | |

Lucia remains calm and keeps reaffirming her Undying Loyalty to Elincia, even as she's like in the picture. And then... cue the Big Damn Heroes. | |

In The Prayer Warriors, Battle With the Witches, Dumbledore has the author's brother, Noah, executed for serving both God and Satan (the former was most likely put in to give Dumbledore a reason to execute him, and the latter was given as a reason for the author to demonize Noah). | |
