It can be suggested that Shakespeare presents this character in a negative light throughout the play in order to have the audience view his choices and actions negatively too. However, in Great Expectations, it may be argued that Dickens aims to make his audience more sympathetic to Pip and his situation, and therefore allows us to see Pip’s choices in a more positive light. 2. Main – prove my argument * Macbeth – presented negatively – uncontrollable, easily led, power driven, fear vs. bravery, treason What choice did he make? What influences did he have?
Miller does this to create suspense in the audience’s mind and informs us of the tragedy. We know this because in the opening chorus, Alfieri says “watch it run its bloody course” Miller uses these particular words to create more anxiety on how it is a tragedy. By using the word “bloody” Miller creates the suspense of someone’s death or murder and fits in with the notion of a tragic hero. The first act shows us the type of man Eddie is; Miller presents us with the image of a respected man, hard working and loves his family “he worked on the piers when there was work, he brought home his pay, and he lived.”. Miller uses Alfieri to
The results of war are shown both similarly and differently in the two poems. The contexts also differ due to the poet’s experiences of war. Wilfred Owen died fighting in World War One whereas Alfred Tennyson learned about the battle second hand therefore they have different perspectives. In ‘Futility’, Owen uses metaphors that could represent the feelings of the soldiers but Alfred Tennyson tells the story of the battle. In ‘Futility’, Owen utilizes personifications such as ‘The kind old sun will know’ and ‘Woke once the clays of a cold star’ to create a sense of desperation on the part of the soldiers.
Like a true existentialist, Tarrou demonstrates three critical attributes; anguish, forlornness and despair. Because of Tarrou’s character and ideas, he can be identified as the ideal man of existentialism. When the narrator in the book The Plague first mentions Tarrou, he is introduced as an outsider who arrives in Oran on vacation who demonstrates anguish. As Tarrou finds himself in the midst the outbreak of the plague, he documents the series of events of the town as the situation digresses from bad to worse. When the first occurrences of plague are reported Tarrou remarkably, becomes “the man who involves himself and who realizes that he is not only the person he chooses to be, but also a lawmaker who is, at the same time, choosing all mankind as well as himself” (Sartre 1194).
Physical settings are important in tracking Lewis' journey in Cosi. Through in the play cosi , we experienced how the physical settings impact on the reader's emotions. A wide range of imaginations and illusions has been represent to the readers, and lots of tones colors and emotions has been filled in the structures. In the beginning of the play , the setting of a "burnt out theatre", "a heavy door" and the "darkness" achieved a horror, fear and shock mental effect to the readers, its also a foreshadowing for the general response to the dark and madness. Fire is a symbol setting in the act 1.
The storm descends on people in hell and deals their punishment. These devices assist the message of The Inferno in the fact that the metaphors make the punishment seem more real, and a reader can almost feel and hear what is happening. He says that the people are “swept back past their place of judgment, then come the shrieks, laments, and anguished cries; there they
He is filled with thoughts of betrayal and is eager to become King. He is unsure if he should act upon getting the title or if it will just end up in his hands. Shakespeare has incorporated the use of Pathetic fallacy constantly throughout the entire play to reflect emotions and events. He outlines this technique on the gathering of the three witches where they only appear in darkness and during thunderstorms. It establishes a gloomy and bleak atmosphere and foreshadows the horrifying events that are to occur further on in the play.
I am going to study how Arthur Miller heightens dramatic tension in the performance of Act III, ‘The Crucible’ in terms of language, structure and themes. Language is able to help the reader understand the society in which miller sets his play, as well as the time period. The play shows the harmony and discord between religion, legality and morals, which is reflected in his writing patterns. The language used by the character of proctor shows the conflict he has with himself, throughout the play, as to whether or not he should be moral, admit his flaws but become illegal in the eyes of his society or remain ‘religious’ and ‘illegal’
Throughout the chapter, Camus uses pathetic fallacy in order to create tension, which is mirrored in Meursault’s mood. This is shown when Meursault states that ‘the bright morning sunshine hit me like a slap in the face’ and also when he describes the heat, just prior to the shooting of the Arab, as ‘unbearable’. Meursault ends up shooting the Arab, which he blames on the weather because of how desperate he was to get out of the sun and wanted to get into the shaded area where the Arab was sitting, and so Meursault uses the weather as a reason to make the murder seem acceptable. By using the weather like this, Camus is displaying themes of the absurd, because of the way Meursault is used as an absurd character, in that he is emotionally detached from the murder, and feels that his dislike of the weather is an acceptable excuse for killing a man, because of this, the murder becomes symbolic of the themes of the absurd in society. Also, Camus uses the weather in the form of the novel, as the weather is used whenever there is a high tension situation involving Meursault.
John Donne’s poem “The Sun Rising” is satirical in a number of different respects. The poem opens, for instance, with explicitly satirical words, as the speaker calls the sun itself a “Busy old fool” (1). Immediately, then, a satirical tone is established, and this tone continues for much of the rest of the work, as when the speaker next condemns the sun by calling it a “saucy pedantic wretch” (5). The speaker’s mockery then moves from the sun to various kinds of human beings, such as “Late schoolboys,” “sour prentices [that is, apprentices],” “court huntsmen,” and “country ants [that is, rural workers]” (6-8). First the sun is mocked, and then a wide social spectrum is satirized.
