How do Composers use archetype to achieve their purpose? Through the psychological formation of universal themes, archetypes are utilized by Composers to personify a purpose in an understandable way. This is evident in the Shakespeare’s play Othello and George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm. Both composers have employed the foundations of an archetypical villain through various language techniques. This lets the audience gain an understanding of the motifs such as evil intentions, thoughts and counterparts in the human nature behind both corresponding literature.
S7 also highlights the importance of the conscription crisis, which can be argued to be a result of British ignorance, or the manipulation and stirring up by the revolutionary party Sinn Fein which also had a key role in the conflict. Finally it can also be argued that other factors were involved, which allowed the Irish conflict to be triggered, such as the failure of Home Rule and the breakdown of the IPP particularly during the Ulster Crisis, and after the Easter Rebellion of 1914. To an extent, it can be argued that the main cause of the Anglo-Irish conflict of 1919-21 was nationalist extremism. Hepburn asses that 'their [extremists] first opportunity' arose during the Ulster Crisis, in events such as the Larne gun-running incident April 1914, which ultimately resulted a race between extreme nationalists and Ulster Unionists to become armed . The source describes how the extremists then spiralled
I also intend to discuss in minute detail the Siege of Derry because I think it is very relevant when studying James of England. Finally, in my essay I plan to discuss what is, in my opinion, James’ greatest failure in Ireland, The Battle of the Boyne. This is undeniably the factor that finalised James’ downfall and was his last hope for regaining his title as king. James II was undoubtedly a major figurehead in Irish history. When he became king in 1687, James set out to seek equality for Catholics which caused extreme controversy and affected both England and Ireland.
How Does Samuels Use Language Effectively and Meaningfully? Samuels uses a wide variety of language techniques effectively and meaningfully in the play Kindertransport. These include language which is used to: connect past to the present, to hurt, create misunderstanding, expose relationship, display Evelyn’s refusal to talk about her past and to create dramatic tension. Throughout the play, there are two storylines; one to present Evelyn as Eva to the audience in the past, with the other to show the audience the present Evelyn and her relationships. With these two storylines entwining, with one depicting the past and the other, the future, there is certainly a lot of connections between past and present.
Explore the ways disturbed characters are presented in Shakeapeare’s Macbeth and Browning’s My Last Duchess, The Laboratory and Porphyria’s Lover. This is essentially a “use of language” essay, you need to show HOW the disturbed natures of the characters are conveyed, not just say how they show themselves. The essential point of this essay is to demonstrate what Shakespeare and Browning DO to convey the disturbed nature of the characters – not just saying what disturbed things the characters say or do, but what poetic and dramatic techniques the authors use to show their distrurbed natures. You MUST use quotations to back up every point you make. If you are hoping for the highest grades (B and above) you must make comparisons between the characters in the poems and Lady Macbeth.
Another outstanding composer who can recognise and utilise the power of language is Alistair McLeod. His short stories are laden with implied meaning and encourage his audience to think more in-depth about the themes and ideas displayed in his texts. His collection of short stories, The Lost Salt Gift of Blood, is set in Nova Scotia, a remote region of Canada where Gaelic is still spoken and tradition triumphs over technology. It explores many universal themes, like man vs. nature and tradition vs. individuality. The stories are often disturbing, delving deep into the realm of human emotion.
‘Why is Sixty Lights worthy of critical study and inclusion on the HSC Prescriptions List for module B- Critical Study of Text?’ The novel Sixty Lights has been included on the HSC Prescriptions List for Module B because it is worthy for critical study as it is a diverse piece of literature covering significant topics that have been ignored in the modern world. We enter the lyrical and image-laden world of Sixty Lights. It’s a tale, resplendent in colour and imagery, set across two worlds - the constrained and stilted world of Victorian England, and the chaotic danger and abandon of India. Gail Jones creates literature, like Shakespeare, but in this particular piece explores the significance behind photographs and what they represent.
English 'Persuasive Writing' By Eva Kiss Literature is meant to provide a perspective on life. The ability to view writing through different perspectives allows a deeper understanding of the text, as well as a wider knowledge about the world around us. William Shakespeare's Henry IV:Part One is one of his many historical plays, arguably intended to divulge to the Tudor England audience a different viewpoint of the Royal family to contemplate the rule of King Henry IV. The text opens up the issues of duty, the question of honour, the 'right' approach towards leadership and the value of life which, considering the Elizabethan period in which it was written, delves into the many concerns of the responders of the time, as well as remaining

In both of these stories the authors use imagery to help drive home their main points, although in a somewhat different manner. In “Desiree’s Baby" Chopin uses imagery to hint at the “truth” and lead up to the ironic ending. While in Carver’s “Cathedral” imagery is used to reinforce his main theme of don’t judge a book by its cover. Now we will take a closer look at imagery, and examine the intricacies of how these great authors use it in their works. So what is imagery?
