Miller draws parallels between the naming of names in the play and those asked to give names in the USA in the 1950s when McCarthyism was taking place. Just like in the play, people would be arrested with very little evidence and it was very difficult to prove you were innocent once you were accused. One of the main characters is John Proctor, husband to Elizabeth Proctor and a feared, though respected member of this “New Jerusalem’s” community. John Proctor is a man who has some flaws, but also many good points to his personality. Various characters throughout the play highlight these differing aspects of Proctor’s personality.
Especially when he had a conversation with Nick, he said, “If we don’t look out the white race—will be utterly submerged.” (13) Even his voice was “a gruff husky tenor, added to the impression of fractiousness he conveyed” (7) Tom wasn’t afraid to speak his opinion, but when it came to himself, he would just ignore it and keep his chin up held high. Throughout the novel it would appear Tom was very hypocritical as well. When he found out about Daisy and Gatsby’s romance, he could not handle his temper and would blow up on the both of them stating, “I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that’s the idea you can count me out…Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life institutions, and next they’ll throw everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white” (130). Even though Tom himself was having an affair with Myrtle, he belittled his wife for falling for another man telling her that her actions would ruin a family, when in fact he was doing the same thing, but he was not in control of the situation also flaring his
He could do many crazy things just to take revenge of the society. However, the ending of the story was surprising me. He is an imperturbable person. He found his own strategies that he believes make him less threatening such as, “Move about with care; give a wide berth to nervous people on subway platforms during the wee hours” or “have been calm” when he has been pulled over by the police. And in the comedy tone, he shows the way he acts when he walks on the late-evening constitutionals along streets less traveled by: whistling classical music.
He is talking about Curley’s wife with the clear intention of discrediting her to George. This displays him to be a heedful rumourmonger amongst the other itinerant workers: “Well, I think Curley’s married a tart.” In addition, another language device that Steinbeck uses in this passage to present Candy is adjectives. There are a wide variety of adjectives used such as, “reassured” and, “safe” which also describe Candy’s inner thoughts and feelings. The fact that Candy feels secure when taking to George implies that he is reluctant to talk to any of the other ranch hands because they usually disrespect him and exclude him for who he is: a disabled individual. However, “reassured” may suggest a sense of caution and perceptiveness about Candy, and suggests that initially he did not trust George and Lenny.
It almost leads us to question Henry’s morals if he is willing to kill infants. Although we assume that Henry is just playing up what will happen because he hasn’t lost control of them yet we have to play with the notion that Henry isn’t on as high of a moral ground as we thought even though it might be a just ground. This speech also uses a lot more detail to describe certain events than the other two speeches. He vividly states, “ the blind and bloody soldier with foul hand defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters:”(34-35). This is very detailed and horrific because he is saying he won’t be able to stop his soldiers from raping the women in the city.
He gives a sly/ cunning impression; he shows this by saying to Sheila: Yes. We can keep it from him. This indicates that if he is able to hide secrets he will like the affair with Dasiy Renton, also known as Eva. As we, all know reading through the play Sheila knew nothing about the affair until Gerald was force to confess and come out with the truth. Gerald also hows some sympathy for Eva as he “Walks out distressed” when he hears how he is responsible for Eva’s death.
Can young minors handle it is an adult prison mentally, physically, emotionally or psychologically? That is what Walter is trying to do in this novel, to suck the audience into ‘Monster’ by leading them on to become questioning about Steve and if he representing other minors in adult prison can cope in there being as young as they are. In the novel Walter shows that Steve is in fact not handling being imprisoned by a few quotes throughout the story. “I’ve never seen my dad cry before, He wasn’t crying like I thought a man would cry” and “If I didn’t think of this experience like a movie I would go insane”. These quotes show mental and emotional feelings to help us see how Steve is coping with not only himself but his family
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Synthesis Essay Despite what critics such as Jane Smiley say about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , Twain’s use of satire to expose the easy conformity of the public was effective. Developing characters like Huck and Aunt Sally help bring the socially unacceptable problem of everyone “going with the flow”, not caring if the “flow” is right or wrong, through unconscious actions, such as Huck listening to Tom Sawyer when trying to free Jim in such an unnecessary way instead of simply opening the door to his prison, or Aunt Sally never coming to terms that Huck Finn will never be “sivilized” like how a white, young boy should be. With the use of these characters, Twain opens the eye’s of his intended audience; the people of slavery. Mark Twain uses satire to ridicule and mock American society, but in an indirect, subliminal way. He uses the voice of Huckleberry Finn.
As another example when Edward was trapped in Jim’s house he was trying really hard to open the door but it was impossible because of his “condition” , Burton also uses eye line match during this scene between his hands, the lock’s door and his face to highlight how different life is for Edward even in the smallest details. It makes the public support him and justifies his actions during and to the end of the movie. Tim Burton uses non-diegetic sounds to create mood and drive the audience between sadness and happiness, playing with its emotions. With non-diegetic sounds, we can understand better how character’s emotions and feeling change during the movie. At first Kim didn’t like Edward, but then she started to feel sympathy for him.
Canterbury Tales Political Project: The Doctor for District Judge The tale the doctor chooses to tell is grim, and more than anything, depressing. He changes the theme of the tales from comedy to realism, possibly to show the harsh truth of the world around the pilgrims. The other pilgrims prior to the doctor had told narratives that were unconventional, but still contained some good-naturedness or comical acts. However, this was not the case for the doctor. It was evident that he wanted to pass off the message that the real world is not simply fun and games, and that “shite” happens.
