How Does Polanski Film Act 4 - Scenes 1 and 2 (Macbeth)? In the play of Macbeth, Scene 1 of Act 4, starts off in a desolate place near Forres, Polanski films his movie there, but from then onwards his version is completely different from the play. In Polanski’s film, Scene 1starts off with Macbeth (Jon Finch) eavesdropping, he looks nervous. Then he watches the eighteen or so naked witches follow the ‘recipe’ and place the ‘ingredients’ in the cauldron. All of the witches in the background are chanting, meanwhile roughly six witches shout out what they’re putting into the cauldron.
She replied, “No. I don’t agree. Not at all.’ She smiles around at all of them. ‘I don’t agree that he should be sent to Disturbed, which would simply be an easy way of passing our problem on to another ward, …’ She waits but nobody is about to disagree” (Kessey 156-157). This would be exemplary use of bandwagon by Ken Kessey, as the doctors chose to say what they thought was in acquiescence (4) with Nurse Ratched’s best interest.
The first issue that’s presented in Brave New World is the vast importance that society has placed on science. In the beginning of the book, it is apparent that science has entirely revolutionized the society, and it has come to a point where all children are manufactured, rather than created by ordinary means. “‘Mother,’ he repeated loudly rubbing in the science; and, leaning back in his chair, ‘These,’ he said gravely, ‘are unpleasant facts; I know it. But then most historical facts are unpleasant,’” (21). The Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning, a man in charge of the production of fetuses and children, assesses that the family unit, the act of a man and woman consummating to bear their own children, is the most barbaric idea known to man.
Introduction: (Thesis) Huxley’s Brave New World goes well with the Marxist Theory through the breakdown of society and government control of Soma, The Incompatibility of Happiness and Truth, and The Consumer Society. Example One: (Soma) Supporting Fact from Text: Soma is a drug to feel instant satisfaction to control the World State’s population. It also represents the use of religion to control the society.

By not living in the moment like the weasel, Dillard says that she “would like to learn, or remember how to live” (Dillard). Living in a world full of stress, noticing the minor details of life is not something people do. Humans live a life of choice and like weasels, who do not think about consequences of their actions, people too can enjoy life and choose to forget about the consequences. As depicted by Wilder in act three of Our Town, Emily revisits her twelfth birthday following her death in childbirth.

Frankenstein depicts the ambition to use science to usurp God, influenced by the eighteenth century Enlightenment movement (encouraging reasoning to understand the universe), advancements in science in the nineteenth century and the concept of restoration of life through electricity, known as 'galvanism'. Shelley's social context was focused on knowledge and self glory - concepts Shelley opposed. Frankenstein is a didactic warning against growing dependence on science. It highlights consequences of over-reliance on technology, suggesting attempts to usurp God will result in outcomes beyond human control. The Gothic genre allows the purpose to reach the audience.
But Mr. Fitweiler finds it hard to believe because everyone knows that Mr. Martin is a very efficient worker, never smokes, and never drink anything stronger than ginger ale.

Inventing things such as the Violent Passion Surrogate and Pregnancy Substitute proves that science can overrule what is supposed to be natural in humans. Huxley’s novel demonstrates the power and destruction that will soon be every day life. Because there will be nothing to stop it, as it will seem like a positive growth in the science field, mass destruction, miscommunication and misunderstanding will begin to overtake the world. In his critical evaluation of Brave New World, Keith Neilson describes the way he feels about this novel. Neilson refers that “the novel remains a powerful, perceptive, and bitterly funny vision of modern society.” Neilson is completely correct in this manner.
The two discuss his motivation for wanting to wreak havoc in the ward. “What, Miss Ratched, is your opinion of this new patient? I mean, gee, he’s good-looking and friendly and everything but in my humble opinion he certainly takes over” (Kesey 29), Nurse Flinn implies. Nurse Ratched does not allow room for a second opinion of McMurphy and she immediately responds by affirming that “that is exactly what the new patient is planning: to take over. He is what we call a ‘manipulator’, Miss Flinn, a man who will use everyone and everything to his own ends” (Kesey 29).
Thursday Lunch Unfolding personal issues while growing up may be a tough role to ones’ self. In the reading, “Thursday Lunch”, from the book Distant View of a Minaret by Alifa Rifaat, the psychology of the main character seemed to have no sympathy for herself.

The main character had just celebrated her fiftieth birthday, but wasn't sure if "celebration" was the correct term for someone who has grown quite emotional during her marriage life and the upbringing of her own children. For example when Kareem, her husband, and the family's servant Attiyat, immediately left the house to perform the tasks for the day ahead, the main character finds her in tears.
