Deeper Philosophical Meanings

... what the play is all about when looked at from a critical point of view. Dionysus, throughout the play speaks in a term that is almost cynical. His tone is mocking and at times sarcastic.

... express in the book. Still, this gave the audience a bad impression of Jarvis. One scene in the movie seemed to be added to intentionally make Jarvis look racist.

He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crown ...

Captain Beatty states, “It just ‘functions’. It has a trajectory we decide on for it. It follows through. It targets itself, homes itself, and cuts off. Its only copper wire, storage batteries, and electricity” (20), and “It doesn’t think anything we don’t want it to think” (27). That society was progra ...
