Addie's genuine character as a living human will be a mystery; a few may view her as someone who was playing with the devil and others might see her as someone with admiration because she was one to believe that actions speak louder than words. The different characters throughout the novel and the difficulty stream-of-consciousness method all work together to create a novel that is open-ended and a matter of understanding. There is no intent truth to the narrative any more than there is any ideal certainty to the events that happen in it. The way that Faulkner uses the multiple narrators serves the purpose of trying to figure out what is the truth of these events that took place throughout the story and this is what makes this novel such a success. Faulkner desires to enchant his audience and grasp their mind.
The supernatural themes especially portrayed in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Macbeth, show the complexities of the human mind and the conflict between good and evil. This theme and the idea of having two sides are in relation to the Victorian society in the context of when these novels were written. The novels together show how judgement can be impaired by ambition, greed, and intrigue and how in turn remorse or regret can be a result of listening to an influenced mind. There are many differences between these two novels but despite this there are also many features that when combined together support the common theme among them both, the duality of human nature. The context in which both novel and the play was written was a time of conflict between science and religion, the scientific revelation opposed the belief that God was the earth’s creator.
This quest develops throughout the novel, and is aided by the use of certain magical objects and methods. All of these aspects work together to develop characters, the relationships between these characters, and to develop the narrative itself to be one that is firmly placed in the fantasy genre. Pans Labyrinth contains most elements of a fantasy narrative; however, the most prominent of those is the presence of “Good vs. Evil”. The protagonist, Ofelia befriends various characters, positioning the viewer to see these characters as “good” instantly. Conversely, whoever Ofelia is in disunion with is seen as being “evil”, the most prominent of those being Captain Vidal.
How he was a dog for every man but with loyalty to no man, having no real master. As the story continues, the once deserted bar begins to fill as word spreads of Red Dog’s imminent death. Many of whom are employees of Hamersley Iron, a major iron ore excavation in progress. As the people come so do the stories, all in the town have a unique connection to Red in some way shape or form. Various miners relate their stories of Red to the stranger; stories of how Red helped with homesickness, was a balm for old hurt wounds, and even matching
In Twelfth Night, this is demonstrated by the numerous complications caused by Viola's physical disguise, as well as Orsino’s self deception. Although the characters themselves illustrate the concept of deception, the setting contributes to the theme. Illyria was a mystical location where weird and absurd thing could take place, therefore causing people to behave like fools. The fact that Shakespeare uses this particular location gives him the advantage of breaking the boundaries and stirring up an eccentric storyline where the outcome would be unpredictable. The main form of deception that most readers would look to, would be Viola’s physical disguise as a male ’Cesario’, which is extremely pivotal to the main plot that contributes to the comedy side to the play.
At the same time, the use of fairytales in a writer’s own work creates a uniqueness which appeals to many readers Why do writers often choose fairytales to barrow from instead of other literature like Shakespeare or Homer? “What readers know varies so much more than it once did. So what can the writer use for parallels, analogies, plot structures, references that most of his readers will know?”(Foster 59). “While we may not know quite what to think about Hamlet’s treatment of Ophelia or the fate of Laeters, we’re pretty darned sure what we think about the evil Rumpelstiltskin” (Foster 59). * Fairy tales are often alluded to in literature by writers because for on e, fairytales are easier to understand then the works of Shakespeare and Homer.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Fall of the House of Usher”, are both excellent examples of Gothic literature and the elements which set this genre apart from others. Each author employs such Gothic elements as metonymy, mystery and suspense, and overwrought emotion to create pieces of writing that have affected the way we tell stories even to the present day. Metonymy is an element that affects the way the reader interprets the scene without knowing it. In Gothic literature, metonymy usually makes for much “doom and gloom.” Blowing winds, howls, moans, sighs, and eerie sounds are all entwined within Frankenstein, illustrating Shelley’s use of metonymy. All of these are used to subtly reference the overall air of darkness and horror apparent in the novel.
Dr. Jekyll is really connected to Mr. Rainsford in The Most Dangerous Game, and General Zaroff is connected to Mr. Hyde. The reasons why is because during the story Mr. Rainsford is mostly the good guy, because he thinks that what General Zaroff does is wrong and it is not the proper game to use for hunting. Dr. Jekyll is afraid that Mr. Hyde will take over his body and tries to keep him out, but eventually during the story, Mr. Hyde has more controll over Dr. Jekylls mind, forcing him to drink the potion and turn him into Mr. Hyde again, so I think that General Zaroff is the evil one for using human beings as hunting game, and so is Mr. Hyde for taking over Dr. Jekyll and then murdering numerous people.
The loaded dog displays the distinctly visual aspect of short stories very well as it describes what is occurring. An example of distinctly visual language is “rich gold quartz reef” this quote using imagery to shows the visual aspect of what they are searching for. Henry Lawson describes many images and paints them into every reader’s head so they may have some idea of what he is seeing or imagining. He continues to use imagery to get the distinctly visual out to the people by saying “the creek was low, just a chain of muddy water holes,” this showing us the harsh dry land that the Australian outback gives us. He continues to describe the harsh heat and humidity of the Australian Outback “sickly smothering atmosphere of the summer sunrise” with the use of sibilance we get the picture.
But with further examination, when they state, “Fair is foul, and Foul is fair,” they are using a paradox by inversely relating fair to being foul, and foul to being fair. This emphasizes the meaning that nothing is as it seems; Macbeth is fought to be this fair, amazing person but in reality he is as foul as “ the devil himself.” While on the other hand the witches are foul, vile creatures that gives Macbeth fair advice; which helps influence Macbeth faith. In Act 1, scene iii , lines 124-128, Banquo warns Macbeth of the witches prophecies, and the danger that lies behind them, calling them “ instruments of darkness that tells us the truth” only “ to betray’s/ In deepest consequence.” In other words, the witches only tell you what you want to hear, and leaves the negative aspect of their visions for you to find out later on when it is too late. This is an example of a synecdoche and an indirect metaphor, because Banquo is stating and comparing the witches to “instruments of darkness,” and just like an instrument the witches are able to lure Macbeth into believing he will be king only to deceive him at the end of the play; which ultimately leads to his death. This connects to the quote said by Lady Macbeth when she states, “ Hie thee hither/ That I may pour my spirits in thine ear/ And chastise with the valor of my tounge/ All that impedes thee from the golden round.
