... clues that this behavior is not due to deceitful intentions, but to Porphyro’s honest feelings for Madeline. For example, upon his entrance in the poem, he “implores all saints to give him sight of Madeline…that he might gaze and worship all unseen (lines 77-80).” It is immediately clear that he is obsessed with her. The fact that he wants to worship her and later on views her as an angel (line 222-225), reveals that he has an admiration and some sort of respect for her. This suggests that he is not corruptly and deviously planning to seduce her, because he could not ...

... with. Although she has been to University, education means nothing here; her entire world becomes that of the small compound cut off from the rest of society. Yimou's portrayal of a patriarchal society is evident through his use of mise-en-scene comprimising of uniform, hard-angled lines, consisting of rectangles and squares. The use of framing in various scenes depicts an environment where escape is impossible. Also, the use of the camera is often restricted emphasizing the lack of freedom the women have.

Julius Caesar
Number of Words: 2013 / Number of Pages: 8
... of the main characters are truly noble
or virtuous but no one really is. Of all the main characters I find that Brutus
has the least amount of flaws. But he too is not deficient of flaws. In order to
prove my point I will give reasons why some of the other characters cannot
be considered the noblest of them all.
The almighty, egotistical and borderline arrogant Julius Caesar had his
flaws. Caesar proved to be deficient in fear while also exhibiting excessive
courage. In attempting to prove how courageous he was, Caesar wanted to
prove a point to Cassuis by jumping into the flooded Tib ...

... yesterday; I can’t be sure.[1]” Esto resume, completamente, la filosofía del narrador, Meursault durante la primera parte del libro. Este señor es tan apatiático que no le importa ni cuando murió su madre. “Está contento solo con el acto de vivir[2].”Pasa la primera parte del libro con esta actitud; una persona típica le da más importancia a la vida de un ratón lo que Meursault le da a la vida de su madre.
