While a mountaintop or a scenic view of the Norwegian landscape displayed from an elevation. He pains the sky red because he fells that the world is a very dangerous place and he is in fear. The technique he uses is that he uses different colours so emphasise different emotions in the painting. He uses this technique when he paints the sky bold red and colours the landscape behind him in a very deep blue colour. This emphasises that something’s wrong, furious nature and darkness is looming.
This is also ironic, as humans themselves are a part of the earth and nature, yet are destroying it for their own ends. The imagery of the dump is used to symbolize the dystopic wasteland that society is approaching, a consumer society consuming itself. The confronting revelations of the persona’s experience compels the reader, as a vision of hell is established, as “attendants in overalls and goggles” and “laborers” allude to “devils” and “demons”. These “figures” of our future are portrayed in a pathetic fashion, as they “poke” around, and “wander in despondence”, looking for “scraps of appetite”, in order to fuel their humanity. The people who fork through the trash symbolize that we may, one day pick at the remnants of our long lost culture, 'with an eternity in which to turn up some peculiar sensation'.
“You told me to George,” he said miserably.’ This extract suggests that Lennie would have slid down the wall and started crying which shows his sadness and suffering because of his enormous strength and his panicking. When he kills Curley’s wife, it is caused by his obsession to stroke soft things and also because of his strength. Curley’s wife is partly to blame as she leads Lennie on: “Here feel right here.
Similarly to Tom Brennan, this leads him to face immense psychological barriers such as schizophrenia, fear and antisocialism, which accordingly breeds his hatred and hinders his transition to adapt to his new world. The high angle shot belittles him within his dark prison cell, and the panorama shot of the penitentiary evokes his immense suffering and the loss of his sense of identity. Additionally, the nondiegetic crescendo of adrenaline-inducing instrumentals creates a chaotic atmosphere which effectively exudes the inner agonies of a broken man who is left with nothing. In such ways, the initial stages of the film evince the protagonist’s unwillingness to accept his new world and conveys his refusal to seek companionship. Comparably to The story of Tom Brennan whereby the protagonist fails to adapt to his new paradigm due to immense social and emotional barriers, Norman Jewison’s biographical film The Hurricane demonstrates that coming in terms with inner fear and anxiety allows one to overcome the emotional barriers and enter into a new world that affords a greater self.
The old man is “weeping for the dust of the elm-flowers, and the hurting motes of time” (2, 3). Specifying the flowers’ dust exposes the desperation of the weeping man for he misses the smallest and most basic, tainted form of the flowers. Moreover, he also weeps for the “hurting” specks of time, a metaphor revealing the itemization of even abstract concepts such as time, as the old man mourns the “motes” of time which ache as they pass through the current age of destruction. The man could also be weeping for time because it hurts to age and live long enough to witness the decomposition of nature. The poet continues to paint a bleak portrait of the present which “rott[s] with rotting grape” yet is “sweet with the fumes” (4, 5).
T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock” depicts the speaker’s life of alienation and depression. Eliot focuses on Prufrock’s life as being depressed and separate from the world in which he lives in. Eliot’s use of metaphors and vivid imagery illustrates Prufrock’s alienation from the world as well as his depressed state of mind. T.S.
Additionally, intense descriptions of the landscape further reinforce the precarious image of the environment. The conditions they come across are vindictive. The landscape is wrecked by fire, houses are abandoned and trees are burnt. The setting of the novel is in a bitter and hostile world without meaning. The man and his son struggle to survive in the cruel weather and destructive landscape.
Hale. John Wright doesn’t seem to be a happy fellow. Not much is said about this character, however; an overwhelming feeling of hatred and meanness radiates from him. Its as if he stiffens the very air he stood in. this very discontent feeling would further add to the very isolation the Glaspell is trying to portray.
Sang Hee Gina Park Writing 30 Prof. Lena Firestone Midterm Root Cellar The poem, “Root Cellar,” written by the poet Theodore Roethke describes the unfavorable condition of root cellar, and how the living organisms are affected from it. Throughout the poem, the author portrays the negative outlook and perspective of the ‘stinking’ cellar. He writes strongly and pessimistically that not a single organism would be able to sleep, or even live due to the molded surroundings. The description of the cellar setting is vividly and thoroughly written as it symbolizes the reality of human life. Regardless of the filthy tone that introduces the unfortunate and evil atmosphere, Roethke manages to convey that the organisms in the extenuating circumstances have become successful as they overcome the difficulties, challenge themselves to
He has become savage, seeking out the woods as a place to cause havoc, venting his “anguish in fearful howlings…like a wild beast,” destroying everything in his pathway with “a stag like swiftness,” as if, destruction was second nature to him. The passage shifts in tone from voracious and wild to cynical and mocking. The creature has become a cynic to everything around him, believing that the metaphorical cold stars are shining just to mock him; trees wave just to patronize him, as well as, the “sweet voice [‘s]” of bird’s, whom breaks the silence and peace that has been wanted. The tone then shifts back to voracious and wild, as the creature restates his love for destruction. This repetition of destruction shows that the creature is no longer of sound mind.
