Write an essay in which you explore the interplay of the traditional and the innovative in the Real Inspector Hound. As humans trying to survive in an increasingly complex world, we naturally desire order. This can be achieved through the traditional, logical conventions in a crime fiction, such as Agatha Christie’s “Mouse Trap”. Upon subverting these conventions and featuring absurdist themes, Tom Stoppard creates a satirical creation of a traditionally rational crime fiction such as “the Mouse Trap” with his play, “The Real Inspector Hound”. This is to challenge an audience’s expectations of the play; accumulated due to genre theory.
(1) the seemingly perfect crime; (2) the wrongly accused suspect at who circumstantial evidence points; (3) the unskilled and clumsy style of dim-witted police; (4) the greater powers of observation and superior mind of the detective; and (5) the startling and unexpected conclusion, in which the detective reveals how the identity of the culprit was ascertained. The detective story frequently operates on the principle that superficially convincing evidence is ultimately irrelevant. Usually it is also self-evident that the clues from which a logical solution to the problem can be reached be fairly presented to the reader at exactly the same time that the detective receives them and that the detective infer the solution to the puzzle from a
In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne uses the symbolism of the letter “A” and the Jail in the Puritan town to portray the theme of sin, and show how the puritans, despite their biggest beliefs and deepest desires for a utopian society, looked to seek out sin and punish it publically because they knew that ultimately sin was inevitable as it was human nature. The theme of sin is a reoccurring phenomenon throughout the book, and ultimately an integral part of the story’s plot and moral. The symbolism that the author conveys through the mentioning and description of the Jail in the center of the Puritan town clearly shows how immense the desire to punish sin, which the puritans realize is inevitable, really is. The letter “A” serves as a symbol that portrays the importance of seeking and labeling out sinners to the puritans in their society. The theme of sin, and its inevitability and punishment in the puritan society, is clearly conveyed by Hawthorne through the symbolism of the town Jail in The Scarlet Letter.
Analysis The Tell-Tale Heart is a master piece of a short story. Edgar Allan Poe achieve this is several different way, but the psychotic mind of the killer really places you into another world. Edgar Allan Poe is in first person throughout the story from the killer’s point of view. The whole time you are seeing through these eyes of the killer and see every event and thought through this madness. The killer is masterful in his planning and really does it swiftly.

It is the darker side that gives gleam to your personality. Robert Louis Stevenson had one major ambition, and that was to split these two characters apart as much as possible. Starting with Dr. Jekyll, who is this well respected, careful, admirable professional from an upper class family to this evil character Edward Hyde who is a deformed cruel, wicked murderer. When it came to comprehending the book I thought to myself that Mr. Hyde is the horrible, disgraceful being but then I realized that Mr. Hyde isn’t at all truly evil. In my opinion I feel that Dr. Jekyll is in fact the real corruption of all this.

The author and creator Michael Ancel has used the game to convey strong themes of good and evil in relative conjunction to wars and media slander that is present in society today. This factor in itself represents that the process of propaganda, the thought control of whom to fear and whom to support is itself an evil but the act of thwarting that evil and exposing the truth is good. Michael Ancel uses visual techniques to enhance the ideas of good and evil by creating an eerie atmosphere all throughout the game such as the Big Brother billboards that post a steady barrage of messages designed to keep the Hillyans in a state of perpetual fear. The uses of colour reflect greatly the aspects of good, seen in Jade’s green, light coloured clothing and in the anti-Alpha Sections areas of the city whereas the areas where the aliens have infiltrated as well as the Alpha Sections themselves, colours are dark and evil, conveying messages of fear and danger. The propaganda seen in Beyond Good and Evil exploits its audience’s darkest fears, rendering them useless in fighting against their prejudiced government.
Chandler uses dialogue to demonstrate through interaction the unequal relationship between villain and victim. The Big Sleeps villain is embodied in the form of Lash Canino in this extract. He is a cold, Mafia type henchman that asserts his authority and dominance over Harry Jones by constantly referring to him as ‘little man.’ This exertion of power is again enforced when Harry Jones calls his bluff on whether he will shoot him or not. Canino coolly replies “A Chicago overcoat is what it would get you, little man.” Chandlers use of the 1930’s slang term “Chicago overcoat” meaning coffin also aids in creating an authentic feel to the story as a whole. A feeling of villainy having ties to power and the villain having this over his victim is also apparent in the Poe extract.
