Culture, alienation, boredom, and despair were themes that remained constant in Edward’s music; although one could argue that his lyrics were the subtle signs. It was Edward’s very public shows of self-mutilation that made his depression most apparent. One of his most notorious moments came in 1993 during a show in Bangkok, Edwards removed his shirt to display brutal slashes across his chest after being given a cutlery set by a fan. Another notable moment was when Edwards carved “4Real” into his arm with a razor blade in front a reporter who dared to question Edward’s artistic convictions. Fellow band mate, James Dean Bradfield once described the consequences of Edward’s actions in terms of the band’s image he stated “The bad thing is, you don’t only feed your own self-image you want to feed other images people have of you,” On a personal level, Richey Edwards proved each day the façade that many of Edward’s naysayers claimed his
They can be extremely charming but this is only an act to benefit themselves in the future. This sounds extremely cruel but sociopaths cannot help it because they do not feel emotions. Sociopaths live in their own world where people are nothing but
Source 2 also suggest that Charles ‘proceeded even when a policy was arousing great opposition’ which also agrees with Source 1 that suggests that Charles ‘saw no need to explain his action’ therefore suggesting that Chares lacked political judgement as he was very inflexible which many people around him found difficult to work with, ‘unworkable’ which led to a problem. Source 1 strongly emphasises that Charles’ elder brother James was ‘accomplished’ whereas Charles was ‘weak’; alternatively source 2 does not mention anything about James. Source 1 suggests that the reason for Charles’ poor communication skills may have been due to the fact that Charles was not brought up to be a ruler, James was. This therefore suggests that the reason Charles ‘failed to understand viewpoints’ may have been due to this fact which again proved to be a major problem in Charles’ personality. Source 1 also strongly emphasises the fact that Charles was ‘short’ and had a ‘stammer’ whereas Source 2 shows no knowledge of this.
Did Edgar Allan Poe's life experiences have a major impact on his writing , making him one of the best writers? Edgar Allan Poe lived a very heartbroken, dejected, short life compared by today's standards. One theme that Edgar wrote about often in his stories and poems was death. He wrote about that topic because most everyone he loved or cared for died. “Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” (Edgar Allan Poe: The Raven) Another common topic in his writing was the theme of revenge.
Some concepts, such as "Release", have huge moral issues. They don't really understand deep emotions, but everyone is content. They have no history and no defined society. Is this kind of society the best thing? I do not think so- it's better to have a real world with real emotions than to live in an over-controlled and robotic society.
Because of their situation this possibly emphasises the fact that they don't really matter and that they have no values. For example “like pilgrims in a fable swallowed up and lost among the inward parts of some granitic beast.” this shows that they are probably lucky to be alive in some sense, but they are slightly worthless. There are also no speech marks used in the book. This is possibly because there is only two of them, and with that it shows that they have no form of a routine to their lives. They just have to take it has it comes.
This is tragic because none of the other boys has this. Ralph and Piggy act out of the rules of society while Jack and Roger act out of ruthless nature, but Simon acts out of neither and is just naturally
He decided that not taking any action is the best action. While source one and source two feel like they have a collective responsibility to the world, source two believes that if he does nothing to harm the world he does not need to do anything to help make it better. Source two also leads on source three’s statement that cannot find the correct explanation and theory as to why the world is the way it is. Source two believes the world is a mess because of what people DO to it and does not think that maybe it is a mess because of the people that DON’T do anything. Therefor he is only just acting on his theory and doing nothing, whilst source three would argue that maybe he should go back a look at the situation again and look for a different theory as to why the world is the way it is and act on the new theory.
It is also made clear to the reader why Grendel has no social life due to the fact that he simply wants nothing to do with those around him; however there is only one point of view throughout the poem which makes the reader wonder if there is more to Grendel than a beast. We know nothing of his background of why he acts the way he does, we have no clue as to how others have acted toward him in the past, and for how long these situations lasted. Grendel is just a misunderstood character. Throughout the poem there is valid reason as to why someone would be able to empathize toward Grendel.
