In 1984 by George Orwell, revealing imagery is used to establish the mood of the society in the book. Orwell uses dark imagery, coupled with totalitarian implications, that creates the terrifying influence of the state on its people. As well, Orwell uses several animal images to represent the deterioration of humans. In the first few paragraphs of the book, Orwell uses images that appear to be old and unclean to provide a dark setting which opens the story. Winston’s experience through “the hallway [that] smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats” creates the disgusting feel of one’s life in this dystopian society.
The vault is built with cream-colored stone and bricks that are uniform throughout the entire building. The area that contains the vault is the tallest part of the entire structure. This allows the vault to be a lot taller than the rest of the ceilings in the structure. The vaulted area uses large arched doorways on both sides to allow for a lot of sunlight to enter the vault. This sunlight reaches up to the ceilings and lights up the cream brick at the peak of the vault.
They also notice "the gloomy curve of the moor" and "the jagged and sinister hills" in the distance. When Sir Charles and Watson arrive at Baskerville Hall, they think it is very gloomy, with its iron gates, the ruined stone lodge, and the long drive with dark trees hanging over it. The Hall has two Gothic looking towers, which are covered with ivy, and inside, the main parlor is darkly paneled. The dining room is also very dreary, and is decorated with intimidating portraits of stern ancestors. In the night there are frightening sounds.
Ancient Greek architecture is a product of the Hellenic and the Hellenistic people. Ancient Greek architecture is best known for its temples, most of which are found in the region as ruins. Ancient Greek architecture is distinguished by its highly formalized characteristics, both of structure and decoration, particularly in the temples. Most often these temples are raised on the high grounds so that the beauty of the well illuminated structure can be enjoyed from a good distance away in all angles. Although limestone was available the building material primarily used was stone, especially high quality marble.
How does Sinclair use setting to create atmosphere? In the story, “The Painted Door,” Sinclair Ross creates an atmosphere of bitter cold, extreme isolation and loneliness. The story is set in a cold freezing winter on a very stormy day, “the wind struck from all sides, blustering and furious”. The area around the protagonist’s house is isolated, barren farm land, and “five miles away” from the neighbours. This physical setting gives the reader a good understanding of how and where the story will follow, in what kind of surroundings.
the term ‘seething’ is an adverb used to emphasises the power and rage hidden within the silence. this creates tension as the ‘silence’ is given a strong presence within the house which intensifies the mysteriousness and spookiness of the place. furthermore, the use of sibilance is evident when the term ‘silence’ is consecutively written before ‘sibilance’. the employment of sibilance creates a sly and dangerous effect as it emulates the vengefulness of a serpent, which is what ‘The woman in black’ thrives on. !
With the image of a family fighting and angry with each other gives a very good example of one's effect with this disease. Depending on the type of schizophrenia a individual would feel very angry, violent and a numerous other symptoms (www.goole.com/health). “Certain doors were locked at night, feet stood there for hours outside them, dishes were left unwashed, the cloth disappeared under the hardened crust. The house came to miss the shouting voices, the threats, the half apologies, noisy reconciliations, the sobbing that followed” (5-11). In the beginning of this stanza there is a good image of people just waiting there for a individual.
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 author of Beowulf, who is unknown, makes the reader believe this by portraying each character in different ways. Throughout the story, Grendel is seen as a villain due to the various horrific things he does to the Danes and their land. Grendel is portrayed as a monster from the moment the poem starts when the author says, “A powerful monster, living down / In the darkness.” The first line of the poem shows Grendel as a monster living in the darkness, and in society it can often be seen that people or monsters, “living in darkness”, are bad or villainous. Later in the poem, when the author is explaining Grendel’s creation, the author explains, “He was spawned in that slime / Conceived by a pair of those monsters born / Of Cain, murderous creatures banished / By God”. This explains that from the minute Grendel was born, he was evil.
Winter Road is a passage that expresses depressing, and lonely emotions that the author was trying to show through the use of symbolism and detailed description of the area. Edith Wharton’s Winter Road really puts the word “depressing” in a deeper level. In this excerpt she describes a school house with a “road forked” and a snow mill that is now “exanimate” and an “Idle water mill looming above the black stream dashed with a yellow white spume.” (Lines 4-5) The author uses that quote to emphasize the disgusting and depressing mood, it also broadens the reader’s perception in detail of the surrounding settings. `”One of those lonely new England farmhouses that make the landscape lonelier” (Line 11-12) this quote expresses the lonely feeling in this town. The Author selects good use of words to express total
