While both “The Yellow Wallpaper”, story and movie explores the mystery behind the ‘wallpaper’ the representation of Charlotte (The Wife) differs in certain aspects. Having to watch the movie and also reading the story has led me to see the many differences in the character. However two main contrasts between them are the bedroom she rested in and her child. In addition, you can compare both characters because they became the women behind the yellow wallpaper. At the beginning of the film the husband and wife grieve about the lost of their child from a house fire and they are having a terrible time accepting the fact the child has deceased.
Like a true existentialist, Tarrou demonstrates three critical attributes; anguish, forlornness and despair. Because of Tarrou’s character and ideas, he can be identified as the ideal man of existentialism. When the narrator in the book The Plague first mentions Tarrou, he is introduced as an outsider who arrives in Oran on vacation who demonstrates anguish. As Tarrou finds himself in the midst the outbreak of the plague, he documents the series of events of the town as the situation digresses from bad to worse. When the first occurrences of plague are reported Tarrou remarkably, becomes “the man who involves himself and who realizes that he is not only the person he chooses to be, but also a lawmaker who is, at the same time, choosing all mankind as well as himself” (Sartre 1194).
Just as she used time of day in The Violets, she uses seasons to symbolise a time in her life. Autumn symbolises her middle age. In this stanza she paints a grim picture of her innocence lost as she has become aware of age and death by saying “we stand, two friends of middle age by your parents’ grave in silence among the avenues of the dead.” The reason she has chosen to set this part of the poem at the grave of her friend’s parents because of her love for her own parents, and she deeply empathises with her friend’s loss. It is typical in her poetry that, when the present becomes too miserable, Harwood will transcend the current time and return to a happier memory. However in this poem she cannot find a happier memory and recalls a dream instead, “I dreamed once long ago, that we walked among day-bright flowers.” Her use of positive imagery such as the “day-bright flowers” lightens the mood and achieves the same effect of the memories in The Violets, as she stops thinking of death and causes the reader to forget the unhappy nature of the initial memory and be emotionally moved by the warmth of the following memory where she is “secure in my father’s arms.” In her poems The Violets, Father and Child and At Mornington Gwen Harwood demonstrates through her use of memories, her loss of innocence, the love for her parents and how quickly time moves.
This is an example of a common source outbreak. Common source outbreak an outbreak that has the same origin vs a propagated outbreak which is where the infection is transmitted from person to person over a long period of time than with a common source outbreak. The water was the reservoir for Vibrio cholerae. The earthquake played the largest role in the outbreak and not upholding water and sanitation regulations. Then the floods made this situation worse.
Both poems use nightmare underwater imagery, in ‘Dulce...’ Owen describes a soldier as he starts “drowning” under a “green sea” when he is overcome by gas. This creates a disturbing psychological image for the reader and conveys how toxic the gas was. Similarly, in ‘The Sentry’ the soldier’s body is described as “sploshing in the flood”, this representation conveys the harsh environment the soldiers had to live in. Repetition is also used in both poems. In ‘The Sentry’, the repetition of “I’m blind” helps give a sense of the increasing distress of the soldier as he realises he has lost his sight.
The effect is Harris’s death, she realizes, but what is the cause? Her journal also becomes her second confidant the one she can confide in when she needs an ear to listen, but not a mouth to comment. “Until the night that Harris died, I loved the sound of rain...Now I hate it. It makes me think of someone crying” (44). It is the result of writing in her journal that prompts the answer to Terri’s question.
An example of Seymour showing symptoms of depression is when Muriel describes his behavior on the beach to her mother, “I mean all he does is lie there.” The quote insinuates Seymour may be displaying some loss of interest in activities. Furthermore Seymour demonstrates another symptom of depression when he screams at the woman in the elevator, and curses at her. (Page 17, 18) The last example of Seymour’s depression is when he commits suicide at the end of the story. (Page 18) The reader can assume that Seymour Glass could no longer cope with his life after he returned from the
