Brooks also uses the weather as a physical aspect that represents the emotional world. The mine is crucial to revealing the hidden meaning of Anna emotionally. this is because the events that takes place between Anna and the mine are life changing. By this point the readers understands that Anna is afraid of the mine. "Just the thought of being in an airless place made me gasp as if i were already down the mine rather then in the open heather-scented air".
Perhaps one of the most superficial layers of irony used in the story would be of verbal irony. The first two paragraphs established the fact that the passenger was in fact very paranoid of his surroundings, fearing something untoward might happen to him. Yet as he sits in the taxi, he finds himself struggling to keep his mind off the issue. The line “No he mustn’t allow himself to think of
Heaven knows how long we shall be here. ", which means the characters will be locked up inside the train because of the bad weather, and no one knows when they'll get out of there. Secondly, the main character in a cozy mystery is a person who is likeable, but isn't perfect in a way which is not offensive towards the society. In the book, Hercule Poirot's statement "Some little success I have had, perhaps" and his failing at trying to look modest shows that he has some egoistic sides in his characteristic, but that doesn't necessarily make anyone feel offended(Monsieur Bouc's laugh after Poirot's statement signifies that Poirot's ego isn't bothering Bouc at all). Thirdly, evident clues are revealed for the reader to solve the mystery.
Every natural element is restricted and lonely, for example the ‘wild winds [are] bound within their cell’. The flower pots are described to be ‘thickly crusted’ with the ‘blackest moss’ which shows a bold contrast to the brightly coloured blooms which plant pots are expected to bear. Likewise, other feminine imagery is downplayed in this poem such as the stagnant ‘blackn’d waters’ and the moon, which doesn’t rise to its normal height. This choice of imagery shows that that Mariana isn’t effectively portraying the desired characteristics of a woman, as her lust for her beloved has driven her insane. This lust is shown through the extended metaphor of the poplar
Altogether, the girl comes to realize that the experiences of those outside are filled with excitement and joy. The girl’s observations on the other side of the shade, however, provide a different experience and effect on the girl’s emotions; the man missing two fingers and the girl’s contact with this man surely reveal the internal plight of the train. The girl’s inability to communicate with this man shows disconnect even between those who are suffering together on the train. The fact that the girl not only is isolated from the rest of the country but also from those on the train foreshadows sadness and isolation within the interment camp as well. The man’s lack of two fingers also symbolizes the plight of the girl.
He described the place being very uncomfortable “There was one small window in it but I didn’t like to look out of it because then I would see the wall and I hated the wall because our real home was on the other side of it. And this part of town was the bad part because it was always noisy and it was impossible to sleep. And that eleven of us had to live in one room.” (page 127) This passage really delivers a message of discrimination as Shmuel and his family and to be moved from his house to a small flat being surrounded by soldiers and a wall. This makes the reader more aware of this situation surrounding the Jews on the other side of the fence. This section is important because it reveals important history and thoughts of Shmeul, who’s an important character of this story.
According to Freudian’s theory he displays signs of a core issue referred to as Fear of Intimacy. This issue leads a person to become detached because they have “overpowering feelings that emotional closeness will seriously hurt or destroy them” (Freudian). For example, he does not have any relationships outside of his family, and even when he is at home he remains guarded. Home is where people get comfortable and let their real selves shine. However, Gregor continues “locking the doors at night, even at home” (Kafka 9).
He was still wiping his foul mouth as he walked out on to the tarmac and climbed the trembling metal steps.” He knew what he was doing was wrong, and because of that his stomach turned and he was feeling ill. Regardless to how he was feeling, he wiped his mouth after throwing up and was able to continue to his cruel mission. He denies having feelings towards what is going on, until Amis says, “Muhammad Atta had decided that romantic and religious ardour came from contiguous parts of the human being: the parts he didn't have.” This pretty much shows that Atta has no feelings, and doesn’t believe in love and he just can‘t feel the love or sorrow or anyone in the world. “They were called the 'bravest', accurately, in his view” Atta believes that the firemen where brave to risk their lives for the people, and in a way believed he was doing it for Allah and wanted to stay loyal to his fellow those in his country that were expecting them to attack; he didn’t want to back down. “Muhammad Atta had studied architecture and engineering.” He was planned for what he was doing.
It then speaks of how they are stooping over this ‘terrible passage’, in which is where vessels rarely venture, as the houses look like they are the ‘nest of wild birds’ as it says, clinging on to a peak. We are then given an image of a barren and desolate place, with the wind blowing ‘uninterruptedly’ which means that the wind is not to be interrupting anything as there is nothing to interrupt! Maupassant creates a great deal of horror and suspense within this as we can feel what it is like to be there with it’s cold description, of the place where vessels ‘rarely venture’ and of winds blowing ‘uninterruptedly’. These words are very effective as we relate them to things in which are uninhabited and empty, and Maupassant pulls this off very well. He creates horror with negative words such as the wind swiping the ‘forbidding’ coast and of it driving through the ‘narrow’ straits, and then the juxtaposition of pale (being the colour) which we see as sickening,
Such a dark, gloomy place can set off emotions, thus you have Heathcliff. The inhabitants come off as cold especially when Mr. Lockwood asks about the history of the place. Mr. Lockwood enjoys a conversation, but he is denied that when he stays with a family that doesn’t speak to one another much. Thrushcross Grange is a place where the adolescents Heathcliff and Catherine sneak off to escape Wuthering Heights. The Grange came off as such a peaceful place that had so much life to it.
