Priestley presents ideas about responsibility in an 'An Inspector Calls' by portraying the inspector as a conscience ,using him to represent a good example of responsibility in society. He uses the sound of the doorbell to interrupt Birling's rant on his views on society. Priestley uses the shocking announcement of Eva Smith's death to highlight the consequences of a lack of responsibility. The clarity of Eric and Sheila's realisation of the consequences of their actions sends a strong message to the audience about responsibility. The character of the inspector is written by Priestley as a representation of morality in the play.
The type of unclearness that is shown in the film leads to confusion that frustrates the audience itself. But the Director’s symbolism works that a plot couldn’t do. For example, there is more confusion in the way Maria’s son cut all his hair off out of nowhere and shove it to the maid’s mouth, that type of action describes the son’s motivation of what he is going to do. Basically what Denis does is to describe the character’s motivation and their historical events from the beginning to build suspension. We all know that the film was somehow confusing, but the Director Denis has her own approach to portray the climax to the audience.
He is what we call a ‘manipulator’, Miss Flinn, a man who will use everyone and everything to his own ends” (Kesey 29). Ratched implants in Flinn’s mind that McMurphy is a man that is not to be trusted, and despite his charm and good looks, he will ruin the running of the institution, which Nurse Ratched is desperate to avoid. She influences this Nurse so that she will not have any sympathy for McMurphy and that Ratched’s orders and
“It is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices." Dickens created these characters to attack and wake up the greedy society without offending the rich. Scrooge being the cold hearted miserable man responds only with sneering sarcasm, asking the men if buildings such as prisons and workhouses are still in operation, "Those who are badly off must go there." Scrooge as well as the rest of the oblivious rich society believed that taxes, which help fund these establishments, are more than enough support for the poor. Although readers know that this is not true and that, “many would rather die than go there.” The use of these gentlemen who are, minor characters constantly remind both Scrooge
The most dramatic entrance of the play is at the end of Act Two when ‘Eric enters. Looking extremely pale and distressed’ This moment increases the tension massively because the whole build-up of tension in this scene leads to this moment and then the curtain falling after Eric enters increases it because as the reader we want to know what happened straight away but viewing this as a play there would be a break allowing the audience to think about what they’ve just seen making them really interested in knowing the answer. * Priestly also uses questions and confessions to increase tension in this scene. He uses questions and confessions together to build up tension because The Inspector uses questions that he already knows the answers to, to get the other characters to reveal shocking information which ultimately leads up to each characters confession of their partake in Eva Smith’s suicide which causes each of the characters to judge one another. This creates tension because each character has a confession to make and at this particular moment in the play we have Mrs Birling’s confession who
The narrator of ‘A Visit to Newgate’ suggests that people are ignorant, wandering around not taking notice of what is around them. He proposes that he is acting as a secretary to his society, addressing the people directly and reporting what he has observed. He even states, “It may seem incredible. But it’s true” (Dickens, 121). Through the use of pre-existing ideologies about empiricism, individualism, and class, Charles Dickens strategically builds the readers confidence in order for them to accept the text’s ‘truth claims’ and
Judgement within society is extremely prevalent. It seems to be that everywhere we go e are judged no matter what, by the way we look, hair colour, who we date, if we wear makeup. George orwells book 1984 shows a very judgmental society. Winston and Julia have an instant love for eachother. As they try to express this love they have to hide it as they will be judged by society.it is banned by the government to love and a punishable offense.
When the Inspector is there, Birling is very fast to drop the blame on someone else, insisting "I can't accept any responsibility" which is a complete contrast of what the Inspector says, telling the family to "share the blame among yourselves when I have left" This constant conflict, which is often at the heart of the dramatic genre itself, makes sure there is tension whenever the two characters are talking to each other. This conflict is not the only one within the play. Eric also takes the side of the Inspector, causing tension between him and his father after the Inspector has left, this side is also taken by Sheila, causing a "split" in the family, which can be seen by "I suppose we're all nice people now."
Stalin’s personality can be seen as two-faced because it was both Zinoviev and Kamenev who argued his case for Lenin’s testament not to be published which revealed that Stalin was not to be trusted, they argued that it undermined the authority of the government. Stalin can also be seen as ambitious and persuasive as he now had joined up with Bukharin the unofficial theorist on the right wing against the left wing. During the congress they both were able to produce a good speech as to why they were in support of the NEP. Stalin’s persuasive techniques lead to people joining his side and
Stolypin’s Reforms/ Political influences On of Stolypin’s great strengths as a politician was his ability to wait and observe rather than make an immediate decision. This served him well at the meeting of the First Duma. The government had rejected the reform program of the Duma. This provoked great anger in the Duma and many took to the floor to criticize the government. Ministers responded by simply not listening to their calls – all except Stolypin.
