Another practice moves into the building, only to discover that Bartleby is still a fixture there. The new occupants complain to the Narrator, but he tells them the truth – Bartleby isn't his responsibility. At the end of their rope, the new occupants have the police arrest Bartleby. The story concludes with Bartleby in prison. He prefers not to do anything there, either, and even prefers not to eat.
After the death of Simon, the next scene is a dramatic one on the Broadway stage next door. The parallel between the drama of theater and Simon’s death generates a sad, dark tone. The dark lighting of the theater and the outside world is another production technique that makes this scene have more impact. It is a highly emotional sequence, and only gains more emotional momentum when CJ is told of Simon’s death. The actors’ voices are barely audible, but this adds to the privacy of the details.
Jeunet is influenced from the ‘cinéma du look’ and the ‘French New Wave’ film conventions to the more recent, ‘cinéma de banlieue’ which are able to be brought to light because of the theme of memory and its distortion. Jeunet amalgamates three heterogeneous areas of memory in ‘A Very Long Engagement’ (Jeunet 2004) to establish and evaluate the power and frailty of memory “Memory plays a complex role in Jeunet’s film, which enacts both its repression and its return” (Ezra 15). Firstly to be discussed is artistic memory, memories and emotions of the spectator are rendered because of an association with another memory from other sources, e.g. film and art. Secondly to be evaluated is personal memory which is autobiographical memory and finally, historical memory, memories that are considered facts in history.
At the beginning of the prison scene we see a long shot of two security guards and a doctor walking down a long, thin corridor that leads to Biko’s prison cell. We start to feel trapped as they walk closer towards us down the narrow corridor. This symbolizes that Biko may be in danger, as we see later in the scene Biko is in his cell in a dying situation. The moaning of the prisoners also symbolizes that Biko may be in serious danger. The close ups of Bikos bruised body and the diegetic sound of Biko gasping for breath along with the dominant colour of black shows the darkness of the Biko’s state, this foreshadows Biko’s harsh death.
When in London because of the smog you can’t see anything so you feel trapped and confined like in Eel Marsh House, Kipps calls it ‘like a game of blind man’s buff’, this shows how Kipps feels about having his senses trapped and locked out. ‘what figures I could make out...were like ghost figures’ as the fog blinds and the setting is glum and doom this again refers back to how Kipps is a realistic man and doesn’t believe in ghosts so uses this example as if ghosts were not real, Hill also uses the technique of foreshadowing to refer what happens later in the novel. This also relates to how Kipps is feeling when referring back to the thought of the Woman in Black appearing when he visited Crythin Gifford. Pathetic Fallacy also sets the setting of a normal day in London, and how the ‘the miserable weather and lowering to the spirits in the dreariest month of the year’, when Hill refers to the weather using pathetic fallacy she creates the mood to be very miserable and upsetting, like there is no positive side to Crythin Gifford. ‘Dreariest month of the year’ suggests that the town is quite dreary and is like how the houses and people of the town are seen.
Lennie’s stupidity allows him to believe that someone hurt George even though Crooks is just assuming 72. Loneliness- Crooks is alone in the world, cannot attend activities that other people enjoy 72. Loneliness- reading books is sign of solitude 74. Foreshadowing- Crooks foreshadows that many people do not get the dream that they
The story is powerful and affecting through the negligence of the Nazis. In Night, the people are forced to adapt to this horrific situation by focusing on the needs of survival, resisting faith and religion, and simply becoming accustomed to their surroundings. The simple task of the prisoners in concentration camps is to survive the inhumane acts the Nazis perform. Enduring the torment alone would not relieve them of death, but would facilitate them to live. When first placed in this situation, it would seem almost impossible to be able to live in these circumstances.
Her affection for Lewis reaches a climax as she desperately searches for him in this theatre of complete darkness. This darkness also symbolically parallels he first scene from the opening of the play, where Lewis walks into the play where he metaphorically represents the outside world. The stage direction in act 1, scene 1 suggest hope for the patients by Lewis entering, ‘a chink of daylight enters’ this chink of daylight being Lewis as he represents the outside world. The darkness, even though it has caused chaos with the patients, it also may be valuable for some such as Julie and Lewis who passionately kiss in the darkness. Like who doesn’t like to kiss under the moonlight?
Critically consider if self-harm and suicide by prisoners may be a response to the pains of imprisonment HHB1032 WORD COUNT This essay will critically analyse the pains which imprisonment can cause on inmates and how these pains dramatically affect the way in which inmates perceive themselves, the people around them, their own lives and their futures. The pains will be critically considered to see if they cause prisoners to respond through self-harm and suicide. Prisons are an example of total institution, inmates have practically no contact with the outside world and are left to adjust to the inmate world in order to be segregated from the community in an attempt to reduce recidivism and protect the general public. Foucoult (1977) suggested that prisons were closed institutes where prisoners were isolated from society in an attempt to change inmates so they conform to concepts of normality within the community. To do this they exercise disciplinary power in a concentrated and pure form.
The article written by Piche and Walby, titled Problematizing Carceral Tours , argues the lack of pedagogical, and research advantages that come from carceral tours. For starters, the authors make claims that these tours have next to no purpose for education, as they are carefully scripted tours leading to a false understanding of the way life is inside of the institution at hand. The restrictions of the tour times(not being able to take place between shift changes for example) demonstrate that they can be a risk to the safety and order of the institution, and most prisoners are immobilized during the tours so that the public can see it as an organized, properly running system. They argue that the tours are organized in such a strict, pre-prepared fashion as to lead the tourists to see and believe what they want them to, therefore bringing no true knowledge to the involved students. As far as research methods go, they bring up the fact that academics wishing to study the events/interactions within the prison must file a request beforehand.
