It is difficult to understand why Montag loves burning so much, and the fact that he receives so much pleasure from destruction seems notably abhorrent. Montag is a singed animal with orange eyes and a fierce grin. As he seems nearly inhuman, he is immediately the target of the reader's dislike. Immediately after the house is burned, Bradbury surprises the reader by showing that the monstrous Montag has an appreciation for that which is beautiful and intellectual. Montag is walking home from work when he meets a young girl, Clarisse, standing on the sidewalk.
Jed’s uses a scientific simile: “happiness running through me like an electrical current,” to enforce that their love emotionally brutalizes him, but because Jed is an extremely bipolar character, it also makes him happy. Also, Jed specifically uses scientific similes to persuade Joe and make him understand the “strange adventure” between them, for Joe is rather used to scientific language, and comparing yout love to a “steel cable” is more appealing to Joe. This shows how much he knows Joe, and how obsessed Jed is, if he knows what language to use in order to implore Joe’s attention. Jed includes pathetic fallacy in order to show his joyful emotions: “disc of sunlight.” Jed’s language is tremendously lyrical and clique : “sunlight falling on you,” sharing the codes of an archetypal love letter. His lyrical language is divinely expressed within an incessant romantic atmosphere: “you were last night in the rain, across the road from me, with unspoken love between us.” Joe’s ‘love’ is so strong that it heightens Jed’s senses: “I see with such clarity, in
He is poking fun at the age old concept of ‘equality,’ one that has inspired wars and movements alike; he accomplishes this by creating a system to make everyone equal, a system that happens to be just as stupid as the idea of ‘total equality.’ Under this system equality is achieved, but it is at the cost of individual freedom and a society full of stupid people, this in-turn creates the situational irony found in the story. The plot of the story itself is a piece of situational irony, however there are many other instances found throughout it, including verbal irony. One specific example of this is when Hazel and George are talking, Vonnegut writes “ ‘I think I’d make a good Handicapper General. (Hazel)’ ‘Good as anybody else,’ said George.” His response to Hazel’s comment is slightly sarcastic, but also ironic, in that she really would be “as good anybody else” because in their society everyone is just as good or bad as everybody else. Another example of this false sense of equality is when George says,
The hunger for success and power, the fatal flaw for most people, allows everyone to envy the ability fire has to consume without end. The firemen even express their admiration for “it’s perpetual motion; the thing man wanted to invent but never did” (Bradbury 115). The flames lick away at the most indestructible forces destroying what it can and comprising the integrity of what it cannot. The immense chemical power of fire translates to the symbolism of devastating power in Fahrenheit 451 as well. The total destruction of the power of independent thinking comes from the ideology of fire leaving the quality of life at an all time low in the world.
He looked like any other Roman. Altair had pictured a demon as being a monster with horns and a tail, but he soon realized that their trickery was far greater than he expected. The demon chuckled, "Well, it seems as though i am well known, even in the Holy Lands. Tell me, Altair, why is Riad so important that you would go so far out of your way to find him?" "I don't see how that is any business of yours, demon."
Tyrell: Also extraordinary things, Revel in your time. The irresponsible nature evident in Tyrell through his mere experiments and goals of prosperity was used as a caution to the audience of the time as these were highly sought after objectives of the time and were deemed hazardous by Scott. Parallels can be drawn in both Frankenstein and Blade Runner , If new life can be created through advancements and discoveries as such, how is one human or not. This theme is recurringly penetratingly enquired in Shelley’s Frankenstein. The monster is physically appalling but experiences human feelings.
So Obsessions of all types can destroy and create lives. The obsessions of love can protect or smother a loved one. The obsessions of fame can create greatness or madness in people. And the obsessions of hatred can drive or consume a person. Obsessions should be desires to strive for and lessons to learn from, and never an all consuming focus that in the end will not only destroy you, but also the people who mean the most to
In this essay, I will try to explore Victor Frankenstein’s characterization, in terms of his humanity considering his experiences, and his narration. My aim in trying to explore Frankenstein’s characterization is to show that although the appearance of the creature was resembled a monster; it could not be defined as monster. It cannot be denied that the creature behaved mercilessly and he was accused of murdering even though he was good hearted. However, the creature could not present his feelings and thoughts to anyone as his appearance was monstrous. So, Victor Frankenstein was guilty as he created the creature, and left him alone.
Research Paper 2nd draft Eng 1020 “There are a million theories to Iago's motivations, but I believed that Iago was once a good soldier, a great man's man to have around, a bit of a laugh, who feels betrayed, gets jealous of his friend, wants to mess it up for him, enjoys causing him pain, makes a choice to channel all his creative energy into the destruction of this human being, and becomes completely addicted to the power he wields over him. I didn't want to play him as initially malevolent. He's not the Devil. He's you or me feeling jealous and not being able to control our feelings.” This quote is from Gollum: How We Made Movie Magic, by Andy Serkis. He played Iago in 2002 at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, England.
