Miller does this to create suspense in the audience’s mind and informs us of the tragedy. We know this because in the opening chorus, Alfieri says “watch it run its bloody course” Miller uses these particular words to create more anxiety on how it is a tragedy. By using the word “bloody” Miller creates the suspense of someone’s death or murder and fits in with the notion of a tragic hero. The first act shows us the type of man Eddie is; Miller presents us with the image of a respected man, hard working and loves his family “he worked on the piers when there was work, he brought home his pay, and he lived.”. Miller uses Alfieri to
Although Marie has a serious cold, she also uses her weak voice to protest being checked by Uncle Hayden alone. From these few words, readers can feel the intense fear and panic from Marie and know that Uncle Hayden is an indecent rapist. Besides, by the end of Chapter 1, I really confuse about the Mr. Hayden`s attitude. After David`s mother tells this father all the things, he waits for his father to explode, but, instead, his father said as quietly as before: “Why are you telling me this?” (36:4). Although I know that Dr. Hayden is David`s father`s brother, I consider that in front of justice and brother`s relationship, I will prefer to choose justice.
The setting, being during World War II, also plays a roll in how the characters think and react. In the end, the war really impacted the boys at Devon and taught a very valuable lesson that you’ll always be fighting a war. We all have to deal with betrayal in life and there’s nothing we can do about it. Most of the betrayal happening is
Okonkwo and Macbeth are both heavily influenced by other characters, fuelled by the expectations of their societies, and driven to act based on their tragic flaw. The reason behind all the actions Okonkwo takes can be traced back to one person; his father. Okonkwo grew up hating Unoka’s laziness and he “was ruled by one passion- to hate everything that his father Unoka had loved” (Achebe 13). This led him to rule “his household with a heavy hand” (Achebe 13), and treat his family poorly. He is afraid to show affection, as seen with Ezinma and Ikemefuna.
The many rifts in his family played a big role in his departure. John Krakauer made the structure of the American family seem extremely flawed. He highlighted the bad parts of Chris’s parents’ marriage and made very few comments on the good parts of their marriage. Because of this Mr. Krakauer put the American family into a bad light and portraying it as dysfunctional. Chris grew up living the American dream.
If their mother was still alive they would not have to hide from their father. Brian on the other hand attributed his experiences to the fact that life was harsh on him and he could not forgive the people in his life that hurt him. This was in the beginning of the movie. An example of this is when he refuses to visit his mother during the weekends and speakes rudely to his mother on the phone. Later on in the movie , after mixing with Rohana and Rohani he forgives his mother and goes to visit her.
Is that all I am?”, when Doug harshly criticizes his father, or when Flan coldly dismisses a life changing decision his daughter is attempting to tell him about only serve to highlight the distending differences between the adult characters in this play and their children. Even during the phone call Paul has with Ouisa, she at one point says, “We’ll be there Paul. We love you.” Sounds to me like something a parent would say to his/her child but the Kittredges never even utter anything even remotely warm to theirs. Only after Paul’s arrest and possible suicide does Ouisa realize that what needs repair is her relationship with her
How does Hill convey relationships in the novel King of the Castle? Hill is describing Kingshaw’s relationship with his mother as not a good one. We see this as Kingshaw is thinking back to his past experiences with his mother, “He wished she were dead instead of his father”. Here Hill is trying to portray that Kingshaw’s mother is an extremely unlikable person and a terrible parent. Here, Kingshaw’s mother is trying to treat both the boys with equal respect.“I shall not make a favourite of my own child”, which is conveyed to the reader constantly as throughout the novel as her respect for her own child declines as her feelings for Mr Hooper increases .
Short Story: Big Brother Little Sister Author: Witi Ihimaera Commonly when couples divorce or separate the impact on their children is huge, Witi shares a story that describes a fairly typical scenario in which a new father figure is introduced into the family but unfortunately is not interested in the children in the house. Hema portrays the role of the older brother that has to step up and play the father figure to his younger sister, his responsibility has come about because he needs to provide the love and protection that has become no longer available from their mother, father and step-father. Many older siblings find themselves in the situation and although i find it admirable that this young man looked after his sister so well, it is also extremely sad that a young man would find himself in this position. It is unfortunate that in some de facto relationships the insecurity of a partner causes the values or beliefs to change and for that partner to protect themselves at the disadvantage of the child, I believe it is important to always put your children first and have a strong support structure from your extended family.
