As if you were able to stop them! I like this quotes in particular as I feel it sums up blanches haunted and complex feelings in this scene, as it appears as something she is. Infect just saying to herself, it's quite a way through the monolouge when, she's "really got into it" (her spiralling pity, a little exaggerated and theatrical) this quotes also seems particularly haunting as if she's re, in acting/remembering her exact thoughts at the time, that someone said this too her and shows us Her confusion/vulnerability/ helplessness her feelings of uselessness and incompetence in that situation and her lack of control which contrasts with her manner of manipulation and managing everyone around
Sentences ans sections of poems are repeated which gives the impression of Hinley slowly losing her mind throughout the poem. Duffy uses language very effectively, in parts of the poem almost creating a sense of sympathy for Hinley at the same time as making her seem evil. When reading the poem Duffy’s opinion of Hinley is hard to understand. She seems to sympathies with Hinley in some areas of the poem however in other areas the poem emphasises how evil Hinley is. During the first stanza Duffy creates the impression that anyone could become a murderer and this creates the impression that she seems interested in Hinley especially since it is stereotypically men who commit crimes like the Moors Murders .
Miss Bingley uses lots of pauses in her sentence possibly to show the reader that she may be pausing to see the effect her words may have on who she is speaking to. Miss Bingley uses hyperbole (‘a paltry device, a very mean art.’ To show the reader that she would want these words to be emphasized and picked up on. She finished her sentence with 3 very short sharp words used for effect on the reader to distinguish that she believes that Elizabeth is playing a game. She is saying things she is not quite sure herself of (that she is using a ‘device’ or an ‘art’ to win Darcy’s affections) she is trying to sway the reader to her view point by using inconsequential information. Miss Bingley is jealous of Elizabeth, she feels threatened by her and fears that she will loose Darcy and his affections will focus more onto Elizabeth.
In addition, she portrays similar tones such as desperation and mournfulness. In fact, in lines 30 to 24 her tone is at it’s most somber state as she expresses her guilt for being a bad mother to her “child” and believes she has not sent this child away prepared for the world’s cruel criticism. Furthermore, the diction is a device that coincides with the tone of the poem. Her choice of words all share a very strong connotation. As previously mentioned she uses the words ill formed and feeble to describe her unfinished writing’s fragility.
Jack Wilson 4 The question one must now ask themselves is: ‘how do female characters react to misfortune in the respective works?’ To find the answer, one must pay close attention to the many subtle devices used within them. Firstly, one should examine the similarities between the two characters: both of them are negatively impacted by their misfortunes; both of them feel murderous desires and, like Romeo, both of them reject any responsibility for their situations and choose instead to blame others. Then one should proceed to outline their differences. It becomes apparent to us that, whilst Havisham is self-pitying and overall very morose about her ordeal, the character in The Laboratory feels a sense of unsettling excitement at the prospect of attaining revenge. The latter point is substantiated in the text by the use of the colours blue and gold to describe the components of the poison she plans to use on her target.
The word choice helps understand what the narrator, who is also the main character of the book, is feeling and sincerely thinking. “The crowd draws in a collective breath and then you can hear a pin drop, and I’m feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it’s not me, that it’s not me, that it’s not me (Collins 20).” Collins uses intricate words that give the story a lot more depth than if she had used commonplace, everyday words. Not only does she use
According to Freud, mixture of feelings of love and hate that Diane presumably felt for her mother were the results of her obsessional thoughts and fear of losing the mother, and could actually mean an unconscious wish of Diane to kill her mother. In order to remove the feelings of guilt resulting from those thoughts, Diane engaged in ritualistic praying that have given her a relief. In terms of treatment, Freud believed that people could be cured by making conscious their unconscious thoughts and motivations, thus gaining “insight” (McLeod, 2007). The therapies such as psychoanalysis, free association and dream analysis are used to deal with unconscious mental processes. It is assumed that some anxiety disorders such as phobias, OCD,

Mrs Lyons believed that she had been cursed she thought bad things happened to her so she wanted to move. This then made her insanity level rose dramatically she becomes crazy and mad. We decided to stage our work by using proxemics to show who was in control of the conversation. We did this by somebody moving towards somebody and the other person moving away from that
He evokes a very bitter outraged mood in the reader, he’s thoughts and feelings produce anger and spite. Because of his negative outlook on war, Sassoon purposely creates a tone that is very synical, sarcastic, satiric and contumely. He makes it quite clear when he wants the tone to be slow by using polysyllabic syllables and when he wants it to read fast paced by using monosyllabic syllables. The effect of this is to accentuate and lengthen certain words for example the use of the word longing in the phrase “longing to go out again” because of the long ‘l’ consonant and long ‘o’ vowel the word is extended. Sassoon has used the rhyming of similar vowels that have different consonants.
