The first one that stands out to me is in the beginning of the movie. A bunch of angry villagers with torches and pitch forks go marauding off into the swamp to be rid of the evil, mean ogre. They have these stereotypical notions of the ogre like he is afraid of fire and that he might grind up
Some people, like Simon, understand this concept and he says: ‘Maybe there is a beast... maybe it’s only us.’ Other people, like Ralph, do not want to believe that there is a dark side to humanity and in Chapter 2 he constantly shouts: ‘but there isn’t a beast!’ Golding successfully gets across his message that there’s ‘darkness in man’s heart’ by the frightening way he describes several events in the book. The killing of the mother sow is an extremely shocking event in the novel. When it describes that ‘the great bladder of her belly was fringed with a row of piglets’ it shows how savage the boys have become and how much they have changed, especially Jack, because at the beginning of the novel he had difficulty killing the piglet because of ‘the enormity of the knife descending and cutting in to living flesh’ and now ‘practice had made Jack silent as the shadows.’ The quote ‘wedded to her in lust’ shows us that they specifically want the female pig and won’t rest until they have her. The scene is extremely graphic and the notion of what they are doing is terrifying. The fact that the pig went from being ‘in maternal bliss’ to ‘dim-eyed and grinning faintly’ is also terrifying, because they took something innocent and turned it into something wicked, which is essentially what happened to them.
His stupidity blocks him from realising that he could rally all the farm animals to rebel against the tyrannical pigs. The other horse, Mollie, ‘the foolish, pretty white mare’ is possibly the most stupid animal on the farm but she is very lucky because she manages to escape Animal Farm before Napolean becomes a fully fledged tyrant. The fact that the rest of the animals, besides the pigs, do not trust their own instinct or even themselves contributes to their exploitation by the pigs. The animals are so gullible, that instead of questioning Napolean, they reproach and resolve to work harder and please him more. This is evident in their building of the windmill.
He is complicit in Dwight’s attempt to lure Rosemary; he finds that they are too deeply entwined to stop the prevent carnage. Dwight’s attempts to “improve” Toby and turn him into a “man”, highlight the extreme vulnerability and sense of powerlessness that pervade many of the surrogate father figures in the novel. Dwight constantly sets him up for ridicule. For example, he makes him “shuck” horse chestnuts without gloves, which is an incredibly difficult task. His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean.
While the bull was striking towards him, he then seemed to think the world was nothing but chaotic. 2. The relationship between Grendel and his mother is awful because while he was trapped in a tree, he continued to call out her name and she didn’t appear to be there. 3. While his dragon encounter, he learns that humans are frightened by him because he is different.
Ralph represents the goodness left on the island, while Jacks worst got the best of him. He then becomes very violent “He's like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn't a proper chief.”(Gift for the Darkness, p.138) Jack challenges Ralph whom he calls a coward; Ralph had insulted Jack's hunters as "boys with sticks”. He wants to turn everyone against Ralph so they join his tribe and become hunters leaving Jack in charge and chief of the island.
Frankenstein’s Creature and the Elephant Man are both outcasts, thrown into a world where all despise and run in terror upon seeing them. When the creature tells his story of the day he escaped, he was confused and stumbled upon civilization where everyone screamed “monster” in horror. John Merrick was also ridiculed throughout the movie from being a circus act and later a peep show for local drunks. The book and the movie both take place in bad weather such as rain and knight to create a mood of fright. They are both abused by their owner, the creature was abandoned to learn for himself and Merrick had a Circus master who would beat him.
We know that as, when there is the rat incident, with everybody being scared, Bigger reacts by killing the beast brutally with a skillet. Also, he reacts with violence against White society as he’s scared of them. But, instead of keeping quiet and minding his own business, he feels the need to rob Blum’s, a white mans, store. However, in the end he doesn’t do it as he is in fear of being caught. Again, though he reacts to it by beating Gus, his friend, up using the excuse of Gus being late to get out of their 4mission.
They’re convinced that the run-down house across the street is going to have its own tricks and treats this Halloween. It’s the typical scary house they have in every neighborhood, the house that all the children sprint past, the one that bullies dare other children to run up and touch the side of, much like the house in To Kill A Mockingbird. Mr. Nebbercracker, the cranky old man who owns the house, doesn’t help this at all; he yells at anyone who puts a toe off the sidewalk out front of his house. If a ball is lost into the yard, it stays there; no one is ever brave enough to get it back. The two children believe, from much observation of the strange happenings around the house, that it’s actually a monster waiting for its chance to strike.
He is very selfish pig because he gains power in bad ways like how he brings the puppies up and makes them into an army to gain power by using them to chase Snowball(his biggest rival) out of the farm. To show power Napoleon adapts the characteristics of man who were power full and in the film we see Benjamin imagine Napoleon turning into Mr Jones. He also shows
