This essay will prove that ultimately, the expulsion of the Hyksos and the beginning of the 18th dynasty strengthened Egypt making them an unbeatable force for hundreds of years. The period in which the Hyksos ruled Egypt was considered by all Egyptians as “a great national humiliation” . During this time, it is believed that there were five Hyksos Kings - Sheshi, Yakubher, Khyans, Apepi I and II. This theory is based around the detailed descriptions by Manetho, however there is much debate surrounding this as the papyri that the script was written is severely damaged and the length of each rule is also debated for the same reason . Whilst the later Egyptian rulers, such as Hatshepsut in her temple Speos Artemidos, named the Hyksos as “barbarians... who ruled in ignorance of Re” the names of each Hyksos king contradict this.
‘Marks of weakness, marks of woe’ Blake uses marks as an abstract noun to describe the sadness of the people that he meets and also as a concrete noun to describe the physical cuts and scars. This is also commented on in Jon Crook’s critical reading of London where he states that the word shifts from a verb to a noun and that by making marks Blake discovers worlds, in London he has discovered a world of misery marked in the faces that he passes. The second stanza has a semantic field of sadness and pain, the repetition of ‘in every’ is an effective way to show that this sadness is affecting everyone in the city of London at the time. It shows the emotion in ‘cry of every man’ and ‘infants cry of fear’ that they are all going through the same pain. It also symbolises the lack of freedom when he says ‘in every ban.’ The last line in the second stanza is ambiguous ‘The mind-forg’d manacles I hear’ is a metaphorical phrase that reinforces the feeling of being trapped in London, the word manacles has connotations of slavery and that the people of London are enslaving themselves.
Following the recent Cold War, capitalist America’s controlling nature typically victimised plebeians on the basis of their political perspective. Through the employment of mise-en-scene where the campfire is placed in the middleground of the dark Atacama Desert, Salles creates a salient point which emphasises the disassociation of the Chilean miners from society. Ernesto’s authorial voiceover ‘tragic and haunting faces’ in conjunction with a close-up shot of their dirt-stained faces, the mining couple are presented as politically dispossessed. This draws sympathy from the audience towards the couple as they are victimised and oppressed due to American capitalism. Moreover, when being chosen by the mining company, the unsteady camerawork and constant switching of perspectives highlights the controversial nature of the conversation and presents Ernesto as an authoritative figure fighting the inhumane treatment of the impoverished in South America.

“Diving for Pearls” by Katherine Thomson “Diving for Pearls” is a passionate but intelligent look at one of our most pressing social problems; Australia’s ‘working class’ being repressed and forgotten by our shifting industrial landscape and the corrupt economic order. Set in the town of Wollongong during the economically unstable years of the 80’s and 90’s, the play presents truths about the evils of economic rationalism. Greed, ignorance and pessimism permeate the script, making it impossible to ignore the harshness of reality and the impacts this has had on the working class.

A new breed of middle and upper class where fighting their way into the limelight, and seeking to be social accepted. “Marxist Terry Eagleton posits a complex and contradictory relationship between the landed gentry and aristocracy, the traditional power-holders, and the capitalist, industrial middle classes, who were pushing for social acceptance and political power. Simultaneously with the struggle among these groups, an accommodation was developing based on economic interests”. Both writers came from middle class families although Charles Dickens did suffer hardship for a short period of time. Dickens and Bronte both have expressed their views on class segregation and the effect that it has on people.
