The narrative ultimately seeks to emphasise that maternal desire is a quality essential not only to females but also to humanity, and is integral to human survival. The film contrasts this maternal desire with the'other', a representation of sexuality focused on embodiment and monstrous reproduction. ...

Reading The Light

... was nothing that could be done about it. At the end of the story, David, Maria and Brian went to the park where the author stated “The three of them stood huddled in the glare of ice and sun.” (7) My heart sank. They just stood there accepting that their family was breaking up. I thought that Roger Pfingston wrote this story from his heart. I was able to put myself in Brian’s place and actually feel how I thought he would feel. The story that stretched my imagination the most was “Charles” by Shirley Jackson. Eve ...

Branagh’s Henry V: An Example Of Pluralistic Shakespeare

... even in the light of victory. In this essay, I will argue against Belsey’s limitations of film and using Branagh’s Henry V, retort film’s great ability to reveal truth. Shakespeare asks a question similar to the one posed by Belsey in the prologue of the first act. “Can this cock-pit hold the vasty fields of France? Or may we cram within this wooden O the very casques that did affright the air at Agincourt?” (11-14) Branagh chooses to display his single-man chorus walking through a torn-down theater while speaking these wor ...

Death And The Maiden

... parallel, but he does not make Jane see the connection. Instead, he lets the matter drop, which, in the Western perspective is puzzling. We want everyone to see the truth and explain it, and think worse of Olunde because of his inability to show Jane what's really going on. But it is really his own unique viewpoint and actions that show that what he does is much smarter than our want of brute force. Olunde's intelligence stems from thinking before acting. Yes, Jane gives perfect ammunition to explain why his father saving his people from ...
