However the coward, Johnny Friendly got the better deal in the fight when he called his ‘henchmen’ to attack Terry, but somehow the hero of the film gets to his feet and leads the longshoremen into the factory. At the end of the film, like the birds, we can see that the men on the waterfront will be free of the mob’s control now that the mob has been brought to justice. Terry was not always brave though, he used to be one of the crowd, believing that “everybody’s got a racket”. He worked for Johnny and was the one who led Joey up to the roof where someone pushed him off. But apparently to the mob Joey ‘fell’ which is an outright lie, the audience and Terry knew it.
The Red Room and The Tell-Tale Heart are both gothic stories about men who at the beginning of story are very arrogant and sure of themselves, who find their views and their plans turned upside-down over the course of the story. In the Red Room, the main theme is that of the unknown lurking in the shadows and the things which you can and can’t see. The running theme in the Tell-Tale Heart is definitely madness. But both stories have the same themes of the supernatural, fear of the unknown and these themes are used to keep the tension and suspense running throughout the story. In these stories I think the settings are very familiar.

The fits of the girls, led by Abigail Williams, allowed Hale to easily be beguiled and manipulated, using his authority to ensure that all who the girls felt had wronged them would be punished. Hale’s senses return to him all but too late as the trials condemn those who are clearly innocent to a Satanist’s death.
Out of all the themes in A Gathering Of Old Men the greatest was reaffirming self worth by taking action. The most crucial character that made this theme so strong was Mathu. Without Mathu reaffirming self worth by taking action would not be a major theme. Things such as Mathu being the only one to ever stand up for himself and everyone going to Mathu's house support this. Every man in A Gathering Of Old Men seemed weak and wanted to run away when they heard about the killing of Beau.
He makes the anticipation of bad news worse than the bad news itself. As Kumalo “arrives” at the point of sorrow, it is a relief because although he still feels crushed to know all that has become of his son is a murderer, he at least stands on solid ground. This is shown when he goes to visit his son before the trial and loses respect for his brother because his brother refuses to try to grieve. He knows that by refusing to do so, his brother is also refusing to heal. Kumalo knows that there is no purpose in extending the journey, because then he would just be extending the pain.

“But this was not sufficient”; Victor was so dedicated that he wouldn’t stop working on the experiment. He would work on it for days and still think that his effort was inadequate. His devotion was so great that he didn’t pay any mind to his family back home; he worked continuously, as if nothing else mattered. This illustrates Victor’s selfishness towards his family back in Geneva.
