This is supported by the Othello by William Shakespeare and A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams.

‘I hope to heaven it isn’t Alcee Arobin’” (Chopin, 118). There is one other man in Edna’s life that deserves attention. He is the naked man at the seashore that Edna imagines while Adéle plays the music Edna calls “Solitude”. The narrator describes, “His attitude was one of hopeless resignation as he looked toward a distant bird winging its flight away from him” (Chopin, 44). Throughout the novel, the bird symbolizes the Victorian woman.
Individuals can find a true sense of belonging outside the confines of a relationship in connections to ideas such as culture, place or even within themselves. Herrick expands on this idea in The Simple Gift. At the start of the novel, Billy’s school, family and hometown “Nowheresville” do not inspire a sense of belonging for him. “I throw one rock on the roof/ of each deadbeat no-hoper/ shithole lonely downtrodden house” The accumulation of negative diction highlights the feelings of alienation that such place arouses for Billy. The use of the dialogue “see ya Dad, I’ve taken the alcohol.
In the poem, Collins tries to manufacture the feeling of fishing on the Susquehanna River. He finds a painting of someone fishing on the river and is immediately captivated by it. The contrast between the more simple diction in stanza six, and the descriptive diction in stanzas eight, nine, and ten, suggests that the most realistic art is made by those who draw from experience, but even this art cannot replace the sensation of real experience itself. …Since he has never, in fact, been to this river, he can't describe his surroundings in detail. In contrast, the diction he uses in describing the painting of the river is far more striking and illustrative.
In the poem Eliot writes, “I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas.” This metaphor is a depiction of Prufrock and how he wished he was a crab who lived on the bottom of the ocean. His line depicts Prufrock’s depressed state and his wish of being something else. The crab metaphor reveals Prufrock’s insecurities of living in the world and being visible, rather than living on the bottom of the sea, away from people and the real world. Eliot also illustrates Prufrock’s alienation and depression through vivid imagery. Prufrock says, “When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall… And how should I presume?” This line is a portrayal of Prufrock’s struggles with life.
He begins by discussing deceptive misrepresentation. To me this is one of the main keys to understanding the difference between bullshit and lying. Frankfurt states that this misrepresentation is deliberate. Bullshit is a statement with a hidden agenda. It is not merely just a lie, but also a statement with different motives.

The Island uses both visual and literary technique to develop the themes in a disturbing, yet compelling short story. The Island is a metaphorical account on the way in which prejudice and fear are used to defy acceptance of others in order to ‘protect’ themselves. The man who arrives is alienated in accordance with this. The pictures demonstrate the differences in the two cultures’ homogeneity; the
