"The sow staggered her way ahead of them, bleeding and mad, and the hunters followed, wedding to her in lust, excited by the long chase and the dropped blood" (Golding, 125). Finally, they caught up to the pig, and "Roger ran round the heap, prodding with his spear whenever pig flesh appeared. Jack was on top of the sow stabbing downward with his knife...Then Jack found the throat and the hot blood spouted over his hands...He giggled and flicked them while the boys laughed at his reeking palms" (Golding, 125). Jack then started to "lug out the hot bags of colored guts" (Golding, 126). This is an example of how savage the boys had truly become.
Hunting gives Jack an adrenaline rush which he very much enjoys. He talks about the experience of killing a pig during one of their assemblies: “‘There was lashing of blood,” said Jack, laughing and shuddering”(69). Jack starts enjoying these violent acts of killing and falls deeper into savagery. He takes his group down this dark and violent path even further. Robert and Roger talk about Jack going to beat up one of their tribe members, “‘He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up.’”(159).
The narrator seems to note the boys transformation by referring to them as savages and how the hide their shame “[they were] safe from shame or consciousness behind the mask of [their] paint”(pg.154). The final result of their savagery was the deaths of Simon and Piggy these events happen in the heat of the moment due to an overflow of emotion. In the killing of Simon they were performing their infamous chant and enactment of the hunt of the hunt when Simon runs out tries to warn them about the false beast but the group was in the heat of the moment and ended up killing him even Ralph and piggy the level headed boys were caught up in this superfluous of emotion. In the killing of piggy the groups were at castle rock and in the midst of the confrontation piggy was hit with a
After Roger pushes Piggy down the mountain knocking Piggy to his death, Jack steps forward and begins “screaming wildly” and warns Ralph that if he doesn’t join his tribe, that “that’s what [he’ll] get”. Unlike the previous deaths, rather than the boys being in denial over the unintentional killings, Jack and his tribe celebrate this death. When Jack rudely interrupts the silence with screams, he uses Piggy’s death as a lesson for Ralph, threatening him to obey him, proving that he has become cold-hearted and would do
This head is for the beast. It’s a gift. The silence accepted the gift and awed them. The head remained there, dim-eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth.”(137) This quote shows that the boys believed that they had to give sacrifice of the pig head to the “beast”. This idea that the boys killing for the beast goes back to them becoming violent in the first place was their unknown fear of the
In Greek mythology Elysian Field means Heaven, the place where Greek heroes or those favored by God went after death. When Blanche says that she took “A streetcar named desire and then…one cemetery,” Williams seems to say that Desire leads to death and death leads to heaven. The opening scene introduces us to the characteristics of Stanley Kowalski. He enters in a bowling jacket and in work clothes and is carrying ‘a red stained package.” He throws the raw meat to Stella, his wife who catches and laughs breathlessly. The neighbor also laugh over the packaging of meat describe as an obvious sex symbol.
Macbeth on the other hand cannot sleep and starts to see things. When Macbeth starts acting strange towards people, Lady Macbeth deceives everyone to hind their secret. When Macbeth kills Banquo and Lady Macduff, Macbeth’s guilt starts to go away because the evil and amount of power has taken over him. Lady Macbeth starts to feel guilty and is no longer able to sleep. She fears the dark, meaning she is afraid of evil and what has become of it.
Thus this was what she meant by not even the perfume of Arabia can cover up her guilty sin. Another example would be when Lady Macbeth says “Was your hands, put on your night-gown, looking not so pale: I tell you yet again, Banquo’s buried. (5, 1; 52). Considering the fact that Banquo is dead, and she was the one who influenced her husband to do all those bad deeds, in the end it caused her to relive this scene to show how cruel she was in the past. Thus it is shown that guilt can cause one to lose there inner conscience.
Allusion- The Ghoul-haunted ghostland of Weir: Line from Edgar Allan Poe's 1847 poem "Ulalume," in which the speaker of the poem is attempting to cope with the loss of his love. While looking out a window, Blanche speaks this line, indicating that she is still coping with the loss of Allen Grey. The point of allusion in a story is to better help us understand the character’s fantasies and thoughts. Symbolism- Blanche's white suit symbolizes false purity and innocence with which Blanche masks her carnal desire and cloaks her past. The point of symbolism in the play is to explain that a simple and small item or thing can represent a huge experience or thought in the characters life.
It represents imprisonment and this is made clear when the she says, “The faint figure behind seemed to shake the pattern, just as if she wanted to get out”. (245) The imprisonment is created from the yellow wallpaper because the Jane repeatedly asks to remove it but isn’t allowed and she is confined to the room she despises due to the stubbornness seen from her husband. You can see Jane slowly descend into her madness with her hallucinations- “The only thing I can think of that it is like is the color of the paper! A yellow smell." (248) “At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars!
