Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
2660 Words - 10 Pages.... that Mammoulian’s attempt to depict the novel was excellent. When reading the book, I saw many of the faucets of the novel that I would have expected to come up in a motion picture.
The separation between good and evil was done brilliantly through Mammoulian’s use of lighting. The most evident example of this is through the eyes of Dr. Jekyll. When Jekyll is running through his daily routine, the sets are bright with adequate lighting. On the other hand, when Mr. Hyde comes into the picture the scenes drastically become dark and frightening. I think this split is in conjunction with the two personalities that Dr. Jekyll displays. A scene in the movie ....

A Doll House
1475 Words - 6 Pages.... characters’ being divided between a sense of duty to themselves and their responsibility to others.”(1563) All of the aspects of this quote can be applied to the play , in Nora Helmer’s character, who throughout much of the play is oppressed, presents an inauthentic identity to the audience and throughout the play attempts to discovery her authentic identity.

Nora is oppressed by the manipulation from Torvald. Torv ....

1618 Words - 6 Pages.... there was to say, surely)...Dearly Beloved" (5). The baby is first christened at death, with a name by which the preacher refers to the spectators at the burial. Sethe thus named the child after herself, insofar as she, Sethe, was whom the preacher was addressing as "dearly beloved." In this way she brands her detached conscience with guilt.
I call it her "detached conscience" because in order to go on with life Sethe needed to remove herself from her guilt. She removes herself so completely that her neighbors, already upset at her crime, isolated her because she seemed to feel no remorse for the awful deed. Sethe's stoic resolve continues until Denver loses her heari ....

Crime And Punishment
610 Words - 3 Pages.... of the mare, were to represent
Raskolnikov, then the mare would most probably represent Alyona
Ivanovna. The senseless beating of the mare by Mikolka is similar to
the brutal attack on Alyona by Rodion. (It should be noted that both
Alyona and the mare were female.) These heartless attacks foreshadow
the crime that Raskolnikov is contemplating. Dostoevsky unveils
Raskolnikov's cruel side during this dream, if it is to be interpreted
in this way.
On the same token, Raskolnikov's compassionate side could be
represented by the little boy. The child, watching the beating,
realizes the absurdity of it. He even rushes to Mikolka, ready to
punish ....

The Go Between
1922 Words - 7 Pages.... from the evident, such as differences in clothing, to the more complex sub-textual elements of the interaction between characters. One example of a situation in which the distinction between the classes is made particularly clear can be seen in the cricket match and another in the relationship between Marian and Ted.
The most striking feature of the cricket match is the difference between the clothing of the participants. The villagers wear either their working clothes or some just take off their coats and play in their normal clothes. Meanwhile the members of the Hall team are respectably attired, in their cricket whites and with appropriate equipment. Leo likens this di ....

Although this novel is not perfect, he uses very elaborate writing, and also shows how important it is to have good morals.
