It was as if their opinion didn’t matter to Lengel. He really doesn’t respect them at all because of their age, and the way that they are dressed. “After this come in here with your shoulders covered. It’s our policy”. Here Lengal fully attacks their clothing and doesn’t accept it.
These abrupt, declarative statements demonstrate her utter contempt for Stanley. While this syntax reveals Blanche’s distaste for Stanley, it also brings out a conflict in the old society versus the new society. One of the main reasons for Blanche’s anger is the fact that Stanley does not fit into her old societal standards, he is not a gentleman, he is neither good nor wholesome, and yet he seems to be ruling over Stella and the new society. It is Stanley’s demeanor in a new society that has Blanche speaking in an
One of the main reasons feminism has lost supporters is that business have worked to over-power the image that represents feminists. Feminists are portrayed as bra burning, hairy-legged, man- hating, and lesbians. This image of a theory as caused women to back down from the fight, and that’s exactly what organizations against the theory want. Many women are against being feminist, they find the word unappealing. The stereotype attached to feminism isn't considered beautiful by our cultural standards and as a result, this stance becomes unappealing to women because the worst thing you can call a woman in our culture is ugly.
The Rose-Scented Edith Mikaila Smith In today's world, "image" seems to be the most important element that impacts our lives. Often, when we attempt to portray someone or something we are not, we are faced with misunderstanding and failure. In the short story, "Anointed With Oils", Alden Nowlan, introduced Edith, who was ashamed of her past. Trying to escape the disgrace of her family and her home, Edith moved to a boarding house, where she attempted to conform by dressing and acting like royalty. Despite her efforts to blend in, she went too far and other people saw her as being conceited.
In the words of the playwright on whose work this film is based, Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire is a story of “the ravishment of the tender, the sensitive, the delicate, by the savage and brutal forces of modern society.” Told through the interactions of the two main characters, Blanche Du Bois and Stanley Kowalski, it is the tragic recounting of the repercussions of the social tension that existed between the representatives of the declining traditions of the Old South (where class, race and social status were all important) and the capitalistic system of the New South (where all men are considered equal). The film employs excellent use of Aristotle’s six elements of drama i.e. plot, characters, theme, dialogue, rhythm and spectacle (through film techniques) to skilfully convey these circumstances. The excellent combination of these elements has lead to great critical acclaim and the film winning four academy awards. The message of A Streetcar Named Desire is essentially conveyed through the interplay of the two main characters, Blanche Du Bois, a middle-aged woman from Mississippi, and her sister’s husband, Stanley Kowalski, along with supporting cast members Stella, Blanche’s sister (with whom Blanche goes to live) and Stanley’s friend, Mitch.
The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Tale of Two Cities have both differences and similarities.

Oral commentary Plan The stage direction that opens the play “A streetcar named desire” foreshadows some of its/the work´s main themes. The playwright Tennessee Williams creates an atmosphere of contrasts to anticipate themes such as unbelonging and class distinctions which are closely related with the historical context, where there has been a change in the Southern lifestyle: Old South versus New South. Furthermore, Williams resorts to vivid descriptions of the senses, thus invoking a highly sensual and emotional scenery which predicts the theme of desire. Paragraph 2 Firstly, the author portrays a contrasting atmosphere by resorting to some ironic elements and diction (mainly adjectives and nouns), as well as imagery. • Explain the ironic name Elysian Fields.
This is a contradiction because one of the inspectors involved was really stupid and showed it in the way that he got angry when Jamal used big words or said something he didn’t understand. So, not all upper class people are smarter. Latika had it worse because she was poor and female. In most third world, or less developed countries, women are seen as inferior and permanently unintelligent. The gangsters in the film all believed this about Latika and all made choices and decisions for her without her consent because she was “weak” and an
They are merely concerned with the inconsistency that Meursault’s actions pose to the social norm. Due to his dissimilar behaviors, Meursault is ostracized an unanimously regarded as ‘the outsider’. The society and its members condemn him of his apathy at his mother’s death, but more essentially of the threat he poses to their so-called uniformity. If Meursault had shown the
The denial of the problems that are at the root of the conflict also instills a sense of disturbance in the audience. Similarly in SND, the conflict between Blanche and Stanley as well as Blanche’s denials and lies throughout the play have a similar affect on the audience. The writer’s craft, use of stage directions, music as well as recurring motifs also add to the build up of interest as well as disturbance with the constant reference to the polka in SND and the motif of fog in LDJ. There is conflict present from the very beginning of SND between Stella and her sister Blanche who had just left her house in Belle Reeve to stay with Stella. Blanche blames her sister for leaving her alone to take care of things herself in Belle Reeve which is emphasized by the short sentences used when she says ‘I let the place go!
