Objectification and subjugation is very relevant to all three texts, but perhaps is most clearly seen in Angela Carter’s short stories. The heroine in The Bloody Chamber is the most obviously objectified. The Marquis is the one in control, undressing her whilst remaining dressed himself. He dictates that his wife always wears her ruby choker, much like the collar of a dog; "He made me put on my choker, the family heirloom of a woman who had escaped the blade". This symbolises how the Marquis wants to turn his wife into a literal object -a corpse- by beheading her, and then display her body in his bloody chamber, alongside his other wives whom he has gruesomely murdered.
After the murder, Neff begins to care about what might happen to Lola, Mr.Dietrichson’s daughter, both of whose parents have been murdered. Neff is also worried about Keyes, the determined manager of the claims office, whom we later discover he is confessing to on the Dictaphone. Later, in a confrontation between Phyllis and Walter, she shoots him in the chest, but he has the strength to shoot and kill her. Neff goes back to the office, wounded and confesses what happened through the Dictaphone. In the majority of noir films, the femme fatale remains committed to her independence, rarely allowing herself to be converted by the hero or captured by the police (Blaser).
I feel Capote’s in-depth analysis and reconstruction of this murder case struck horror into my heart, knowing how unpredictable murder is and how devastating the effects were afterwards. Personally, this story almost seemed unreal, that a murder with seemingly no motive almost went unsolved, but luckily had a “fairy-tale” ending in which the criminals were caught. It is crimes like these that the criminals deserve the death sentance, even if the punishment is cruel. Even though I do not live in the same time period as the Clutter murder, I think that I would have to disagree with Capote’s thinking that hanging was wrong, since the criminals clearly deserved the punishment, which oddly, they were willing to
Shavon Roberts April 26, 2015 Dr. Strangelove/Fail-Safe Assignment Comparison and Contrast of Dr. Strangelove & Fail-Safe Deciding between two things is an everyday issue, and we usually end up making a decision upon what is the best offer or outcome for us. In this case, I am considering the similarities and the differences between two movies, which are Dr. Strangelove and Fail-Safe. Dr. Strangelove is an exaggerated sarcastic comedy while Fail-Safe is a severe drama. In this paper, I explained that although the two films are similar, they are also different. I do this by comparing the characters of the film.
Is John Proctor a tragic hero and is this play an example of a tragedy? John Proctor portrays the tragic hero in Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.” Proctor, the protagonist of the piece, is revealed to the audience in his time of anguish and struggle, making his untimely death all the more unfortunate. In this tragedy, Proctor fights to save the town from insanity and chooses his death, rather than shame, in his struggle. The elements of a tragic hero are applied to Proctor in order for the audience to a feel sympathetic connection to a character who committed an unholy sin of adultery. John Proctor though not of high noble stature is, nonetheless, a good man and is highly regarded in Salem.
He went too far. He also doesn’t know that his revenge will also hurt him. He won’t go to heaven because he killed someone. This story is also saying something that is true. Revenge is sweeter when the person least expects it.
mahedi mazumder mazumder 1 harry antonian class # 13/12/2012 time Ignorance Is Bliss, Until The Truth Is Undeniable exploring humanity's mental perspective of death in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque Of The Red Death" The fear of death can be related to a fear of the unknown, the unknown that makes people uncomfortable to acknowledge, which results in them ignoring the idea altogether. In his story titled "The Masque of the Red Death" Edgar Allan Poe suggests through the use of narration, allegory and symbolism, that humanity's attitude towards death is one of ignorance and disregard that is driven by the fear of the unknown, resulting in our species doing all that we can to avoid it and not accept it as the inevitable consequence of life.
Family members can argue that the pleasure (relieving the pain of one family member) does not outweigh the cost of pain (a family losing a member). Pro: There are two main points that are associated with morality of pro assisted suicide. The first is the respect for death with dignity and the second is again using Bentham’s Utilitarian theory. After all, it is completely immoral to deny a persons last request: death. The main reason patients think about suicide is because of the endless pain they suffer.
Sometimes even confabulating the information into one’s own memory. Interrogators can do this by presenting false evidence persuading a suspect to believe that it is their own memory which is failing them and not the criminal justice system. Similar techniques, such as the ones used against Michael Crowe during his interrogation of his sister's murder, make a suspect feel as though their own family believes his guilt. In the case of Michael Crowe's false confession, the suspect understood that the interrogators were the only ones trying to help him. After hours of being asked to describe a crime, Michael began to imagine the actual crime.
I think he also left out the view of the location perhaps to protect someone or himself. Why does Weegee have a fixation with dead people? . As Weegee said “murder is my business” (hawthorne para 2). I think one of the major reasons Weegee prefers taking pictures of the dead is they don’t move and, can’t complain.
