Johnson first realizes his love art when bud brings him a book of art. That book becomes a very important item in the movie because it had a great influence on Mr. Johnson. The art book was one of the main factors that created rebellion and chaos in Pleasantville because Mr. Johnson then created art as time passed he became colored.

The paper referred to prostitutes as sisters and Men were usually depicted as the wrongdoers. This was a concept unheard of in Ingraham’s society. Ingaham shed light on the fact that once a woman was violated and abandoned by a man, she became shunned by the community, lost all opportunities to be married to a “good man,” had few job prospects available to her, as well as had no legal recourse. The only job women could hold at the time was as sweat shop employees, where they would be paid extremely low wages, on which survival was difficult, especially if the women had to support her children. Ingraham felt this broken system had been pushing women onto the street and into prostitution.
Romantic art tended to revolve around nature or some heroic deed, ignoring or tuning away from industry and logic, and when it did not, it reviled it. Paintings often depicted beautiful landscapes such as those by Friedrich and Turner. William Wordsworth wrote poems about nature that portrayed it as a mystical, mysterious force. Romantic writers, such as Edgar Allen Poe and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe emphasized emotion, tragic figures, and sometimes mystery giving rise to Gothic literature. Romanticism responded to industrialization by shunning it and turning to nature, emotion, and mysticism.

Society had thrown out Oakhurst, Duchess and Mother Shipton for them being themselves; by living their successes they were condemned. The lovers left society because they knew their union wouldn’t be accepted. This is an example in literature about how the society in real life didn’t accept people who were living out their lives on their terms and not according to any unspoken rules that were expected to follow. Though all of the outcasts were looked down upon and their lives were cut short by the storm that forced premature death they had been living the new American success by being themselves and not letting society dictate their every decision. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain show both how society still tries to shape individuals and how Huck lives his own success.
