The word powerful makes it clear to the reader that Atkinson was heavily impacted by the performance. Atkinson’s diction automatically creates the impression that the dramatization served a greater purpose than just to entertain. In many instances during the review, Atkinson used short, deliberate sentences. These changes in sentence structure were used to emphasize his emotion. When speaking of the differences between Arthur Miller’s works, Atkinson said “The literary style of “The Crucible” was cruder.” He said this abruptly because he wanted to assure that his point would be made.
Satire being irony, or sarcasm used to expose vice or a moral fault had became the idea for the novel. Thus the setting being World War II made the novel purpose even better. The setting is where the achievement lays “that Heller’s achievement lies in his brilliant use of the setting as metaphor or a satirical macrocosm for many of the macrocosm idiocies afflicting the postwar era in general” (Aldridge).

This was because both characters had alike longings to be in a different time period where they did not find satisfaction and happiness within the present. Chronologically, after depicting background and catalyst, then the development and insight to the journey, the understanding and knowledge accomplished is then reached through the differences of the two characters Inez and Adriana. Although Adriana is the persona that Gil desires, the association within the imaginative journey allows him to finally reach the outcome of understanding that he must live in the present as each time era has its own concealed and approached issues. By featuring these characters, the sequential structure of a journey is presented, outlining the fundamental ideas of timeless topics of question, which then suggests the foundational theme of
A Reality Check With the use of symbolism, Aldous Huxley creates a beautiful novel that in essence warns his audience of the future. Huxley’s clever use of symbols in the Brave New World, is often apparent, but just as often, they are deeper and less apparent. With his satirical references to sex, drugs, technology and the naming of his characters, Huxley relates his novel back to his readers and their future. Without recognizing these symbols, the readers could find this novel confusing and ridiculous; but with each symbolic object and person comes a clearer picture of what Huxley us really trying to convey. When reading the Brave New World, the sexual references are often the first things that stand out to the audience.

While in Wilfred Owen’s poem ‘dulce et decorum est’ it is the audience that is discover new notions and the actual reality of war. In ‘The Tempest’ Prospero undergoes a vast discovery that takes 12 years to materialise, Prospero’s discovery is that of the liberating and redemptive power of forgiveness in the face of man’s inhumanity towards man, in contrast with the normal notion of revenge over forgiveness.
Furthermore, his ability to combine what he learned in his self-analysis with the Oedipus legend and Shakespeare’s Hamlet helped to form the core of his psychoanalyses (Bergmann 535). He also effectively established ethos and used elevated diction to strengthen his claim. On the other hand, his limited use of scientific studies and gender popularity weakened his explanation. Freud’s decision to use two significant pieces of western literature in his explanation of the Oedipus Complex, helped him to define his theory to others. The allusions he made with Oedipus Rex and Hamlet introduced variety into an otherwise limited discussion.

I am not entirely sure that I accomplished it correctly but attempted to. My understanding of the work changed as I started to think critically about what the story meant. There were many underling or hidden meanings within that one could consider. Thinking critically about something that does not interest, such as poems, seems to be the biggest challenge about the writing process for me.
