.... in an inverted dream world of success and wealth. Although they are doomed to failure and death, criminals are portrayed as the victims of circumstance, because the stories are told from their point of view - all other "normal" roots to the top are unavailable to them.

.... and frozen solid, and the birds are more restless than ever. The main character in the story is Nat Hocken. He is married and he is the father of Jill and Jimmy, his two young children who are terrified of the birds. This is a tightly knit family, who stick together in a time of crisis.

.... their work. The introductory forward, which states that this is a movie about a great culture that had disappeared, impressed me and made me curious to see what life during those times was like. One of the theme of the film was activated when Scarlett O’Hara, the young heroine, was disgusted with the boys talking about war all the time. Her innocence and carefree nature could be seen in that scene. I was in awe with the lavish scene, beautifully costumed and photographed at the Twelve Oak’s ball and barbecue.

.... reference of blood is one of honour, and occurs when Duncan sees the injured sergeant and says "What bloody man is that?". This is symbolic of the brave fighter who been injured in a valiant battle for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution", he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and ....
