The poet has done this on purpose to set the dark mood for the rest of the poem where Medusa talks about her anger. The disturbing physical appearance of Medusa creates a sense of horror. She is said to be ‘foul mouthed’ and ‘foul tongued’, as well as ‘yellow fanged’. The repetition of ‘foul’ creates an unpleasant image of the women and the word ‘fanged’ makes her seem monstrous. Medusa is described in a very negative manner.
The idea of being unable to cleanse the mind and the spirit is closely tied to the play’s themes of order and disorder and light and dark. The killing of Duncan has upset the spiritual order of the world and the ability to distinguish between what is real and what is imagined. This confusion is mirrored in the character of Macbeth who, quite literally, has replaced order with disorder on every level, including the spiritual order. This mirroring reinforces the themes of appearances not being what they seem, but also foreshadows the madness and suicide of Lady Macbeth, which is bound to flow from such an unnatural state of affairs. Consider Lady Macbeth’s pathos, reflected in her sleep-walking speeches, “out, damned spot”.
In Chapter 5 ‘Across the Causeway’ the descriptions of Eel Marsh House and the surrounding land create a sense of fear and foreboding. Hill opens the chapter by saying ‘shadow chasing shadow’, this creates a sense of terror as the word ‘shadow’ is something we link to darkness and dusk, this is often something we fear as what we cannot see panics us. The sense of the unknown creates a sinister atmosphere as it gives us chance to imagine the worst situations; in this case it causes us to expect something to unexpectedly creep up on us. The sense of the unknown also links into the rest of the book as Kipp’s is often kept conjecturing about Crithin Gifford and Eel Marsh House which causes alarm and anxiety amongst him. The word ‘chase’ indicates something predacious as we link chasing to something being hunted, this suggests something violent and horrific is going to happen, it could be a warning that Kipp’s will enter the Woman in Black’s territory and as a result she will prey on him.
In part one of her novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee establishes extensive prejudice in Maycomb. This can be in the form of racial or social prejudice. In doing so she comments on the fear that drives prejudice and the irrationality that lies at its core. She also comments on how this intolerance is perceived through different characters. The theme of prejudice has been established through the characterisation of the narrator Scout’s father, Atticus and Boo Radley, as well as the narrative perspective of Scout.
The wind blows these acidic gases into building, cars, homes and trees. Water that runs of these buildings adds acid to the acid rain, making the combination more acidic than regular rain. Acid rain is measured by a pH scale, the lower the number, the more acidic, Vic versa. The effects of acid rain are, damages of forest soils, fish and other living organisms, it also affects lakes, streams and causes aluminum to be highly toxic to species and aquatic organisms. In North America acid rain affects the Adirondack and the Catskill Mountain in the state
Postulating that indifference is a dangerous road, he wants the reader to understand that indifference can have unintended consequences that will eventually lead to atrocities. He starts putting the reader into this mind set by asking, “ what will the legacy of this vanishing century be?” (Wiesel 533). Wiesel wants to engulf the reader in a cone of tumultuous emotions so that they may be cautious and vigilant against the evils of irrelevance. He provides many examples of how indifference is dangerous and how indifference can bring about the demise of civilized society. The capacity for society to revert back into accepting atrocities is why Wiesel’s formulates his speech to caution the audience.
In chapter 5 the birth of the “hideous fiend” is the sign that his life will change in a bad way. The monster’s ‘black lips and yellow skin’ ‘ugly’, so he rejects it. The weather is important as it informs us of the emotions and the mood of the characters and surroundings. Dull and dark weather reflects the dismal mood of the novel, the; ‘dreary night of November’. This is known as pathetic fallacy.
Fleeing from religious and political persecution, as is their right they are forcefully detained upon arriving in Australia undergoing persecution just as illogical as what they fled from in the first place. The UNHCR regional representative Richard Towle stated that “prolonged detention, particularly in isolated locations, can have severe and detrimental effects on the health and psycho-social well-being of those affected.” Patrick McGorry, mental health specialist and Australian of the Year also conveyed his concern about the detrimental impacts of detention on mental health when he described the detention centres as “factories for producing mental illness and mental disorder”. Furthermore, there is overwhelming evidence that demonstrates the psychological harms that long-term incarceration in Australia’s immigration detention centres has caused, including reports of completed suicide and
