Once the inspector leaves and the family realises that he may not have been a real inspector, the tension levels drop radically but then dart back up to a very high level when the telephone rings. The overall tension level is built up by smaller tension levels between different members of the family. Tensions in the Birling's house are shown from the beginning of the play. The house is described as “not cosy and homelike” which represents the cold and unfriendly atmosphere; these characteristics very much reflect the family itself. The most prominent tension is presented between the older and younger generations.
Before the play even started from the set one could tell that there was going to be some form of a cultural divide. On stage left was a ratty old brick home with the door wide open and what we later find out to be the home of Hoody and D, and on stage right we have a house that seems to be newer and simply nicer. In the first act of Broken Fences, Czar and April move into the house on stage right set in Garfield Park, a crime infested city that is being rebuilt. Within minutes of the play it becomes apparent that they do not belong there, Czar agrees but April most certainly does not. Czar knows that this isn’t the place for them and that it isn’t the safest neighborhood.
How does Fitzgerald tell the story in chapter 7? At the start of chapter 7 Nick is going over to Gatsby’s house in order to try and talk to him. However when he arrives he finds that all of his staff have been changed and that he was unwilling to see him. The first part of the chapter is just nicks narration about rumours he has heard. Rumours are the main way in which information is passed to the reader in the first part of the chapter.
The term’s meaning has transcended the literary realm to apply to real-life occurrences and situations that are incomprehensibly complex, bizarre or illogical.” Pg 182 What that basically means it that it describes a nightmarish situation which most people could relate to but very surreal there also seems to be an evil component that is like a shadow out of the corner of your eye. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa who goes to sleep in his room in his parent’s apartment and wakes up in the morning as a bug. Kafka referred to this being as Ungeziefer, which was very hard to translate into English. Translators have often wanted to claim the word Ungeziefer as insect but that isn’t really a proper translation. Kafka had no intention of making Gregor a specific bug, so the translation that is used in a monstrous insect.
On past Halloweens, the local kids have broken windows, and worse, so I need someone to stay there the whole night to make sure no harm comes to my building. I will pay $3000 for anybody willing to do this, but I must be completely honest and disclose the fact that previous house sitters have run out of the house in the middle of the night because they were convinced the house was haunted by ghosts. Some of them were so scared that they went completely crazy and had to be committed to a mental institution. If you have the courage to accept this job, please call me. –Dick Shore, 917-555-1221 Finish this story.
The father stands outside the third door ordering his son to get up. Gregor, however, has taken to locking all the doors at night.

Escape Gregor Samsa lives like a prisoner in his bedroom imprisoned by his own family. He is trapped not just physically but also emotionally.
The first shift in character between the book and the movie is apparent when the dwarves begin to show up at his house the following day. In the book Bilbo is not a very proactive character, he merely reacts to the uncomfortable situations he is tossed into which is seen when the dwarves arrive and he is unable to be anything other than hospitable despite his confusion, “‘Come in and Have some tea!’ he managed to say after taking a deep breath” (19). However in
He attributes this to the increased responsibility of having his own home, and the fact that there was no one there to turn things off or protect the house from intruders after he and his wife have gone to work. Although initially he was satisfied with a quick glance at all the appliances, over time his checking behaviour became more complex and time consuming. With the births of his children his fears worsened again, so that whenever he tried to sleep he had images of his young children being caught in a fire, or being stolen from their beds. And so he returned to check the stove and the window for a second, third or fourth time, until gradually he felt he had no control over his checking behaviour at all. When ever Michael leaves his house, and before he goes to bad at night, he is plagued with doubts that he has not switched of electrical appliances and locked the doors and windows.
According to Freudian’s theory he displays signs of a core issue referred to as Fear of Intimacy. This issue leads a person to become detached because they have “overpowering feelings that emotional closeness will seriously hurt or destroy them” (Freudian). For example, he does not have any relationships outside of his family, and even when he is at home he remains guarded. Home is where people get comfortable and let their real selves shine. However, Gregor continues “locking the doors at night, even at home” (Kafka 9).
