Ex Machina also uses love as a theme. However, in Ex Machina love is used a bit differently. Ex Machina is no where near a story about love. However, the film plays with the idea of lust and love. Caleb is not in love with Ava, but he believes that he is. The reason Caleb is confused is because lust and love are very similar emotions and are easy to get confused. The film makes it obvious that Caleb has feeling of lust toward Ava by just the way Caleb watches Ava. Caleb’s lust is also brought up through conversations with Nathan. In the film, there is a scene where Nathan and Caleb are talking about how Ava is able to have intercourse. Caleb is also someone who would get the two emotions confused just based off of his search results that Nathan mentions. Caleb is willing to betray Nathan because of his confusion of

In Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language, the word love is defined as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Love can bring two people together but it can also have a person be rejected by another because of love. In the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck, the main character, Adam Trask, confronts a feeling of love throughout the whole book but he either rejects the love of people who care about him or has his love rejected by the people that he cares about. When Adam was a young man in the beginning of the novel, his father, Cyrus Trask loved him but Adam did not love him back and when Adam went into the army he did not come back home until his father's death. Later on in the story Adam really loved his wife, Cathy, but she didn't love him back and so when she tried to leave him and he would not let her, she shot him. Even though Adam survived he was demoralized for most of his life because he still loved her. Through Adam's experiences of love in the novel, John Steinbeck shows that Adam Trask has an inability to handle love.
...fects. No matter where there is love involved or not, the two people will engage in some sort of emotions whether they want to or not. The narrator shows this throughout the story. At first it was all happy and she seemed proud that she was going and sleeping with all of the different boys. As her high school life went on though, she started showing regret in almost every encounter she had, even the one boy that she actually had feelings for ended in a shameful feeling. He just left afterwards and so she just sat there waiting for him to come back (Minot 102). No matter how badly the two parties involved want there to be no strings attached and to just have a simple hook up, someone is going to get emotionally attached. In the time period of this story, the one that got emotionally caught was usually the woman and the narrator of “Lust” shows that almost flawlessly.
There is a fine line between love and lust. If love is only a will to possess, it is not love. To love someone is to hold them dear to one's heart. In The Great Gatsby, the characters, Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan are said to be in love, but in reality, this seems to be a misconception. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald portrays the themes of love, lust and obsession, through the character of Jay Gatsby, who confuses lust and obsession with love.

Next, Some Great Thing includes the themes of racism and prejudice towards not only the protagonist, but also to French Canadians because of the colour of their skin, or the language they speak, and the courage of characters to stand up for what they believe is right.
“ It’s crazy, all that blood and violence. I thought you were supposed to be the love generation”. Conservative mother, Estelle Collingwood says to her daughter Mari in the beginning of Wes Craven’s cult classic The Last House on the Left (1972). With the war in Vietnam in full swing and the long term effects of the Manson family murders, the peace and love counter culture was at the end of an era. American society had become more violent and corrupt, as were the films Hollywood was starting to release. And with the new generation’s style of filmmaking and recent MPAA rating system, filmmakers were pushing the boundaries of their films and shocking audiences and critics to the core. With new filmmakers kicking down the door of Hollywood every year, it’s no surprise that soon-to-be horror icon Wes Craven would fit perfectly into the new generation of Hollywood. Craven’s early films fall into the exploitation category. They were severely gruesome, repulsive, appalling, and ended up being banned in several countries. Craven would go on to make films that reflect on contemporary society by using a number of recurring themes and formal filmmaking aesthetics that included:
Are classic novels still being referred in modern society? Yes. Yes they do. – David Ngo claims
In the story “Recitatif” author Toni Morrison, published in 1983, tells a story of two young girls, Twyla and Roberta, with two different ethnicities, who grow up in an orphanage together. Due to the fact that the story is narrated by Twyla, it seems natural for us the readers to associate with this touching story, as many of us have encounter racial discrimination back in the 1980s, making it clear that Morrison states the two girls grow up to always remember each based on the similarities and the childhood they both encounter together, come from different ethnic backgrounds, and as the story reveals, destiny is determined to bring the girls’ path together.
Coincidentally, I discovered that Ava, Caleb and Nathan are Biblical names. Evidently, Ava is meant to be a type of name which is synonymous with Eve - a new creation made in the image of her maker Caleb which also has a rich Biblical meaning. In Scripture, Caleb was a Hebrew spy commissioned by Moses to scope out Canaan, where as in Ex Machina we see Caleb was sent to scope out Ava. Lastly, Nathan is a prophet in the Bible who reprimands and sets King David alight after his act of adultery with Bathsheba. Just like Eve’s fall in Genesis, we witness

At the start of the scene there is only silence to be heard, but as the scene progresses the music starts. This music is an intense, head throbbing, and daunting sound that has a mesmerizing effect that causes confusion to the mind and body. This type of music sends the blood rushing through one’s entire body making the heart race and sweat cumulate. Those feelings are the exact feelings of Caleb as this genre of music begins to play and he frantically begins to dismantle the razor blade and forcefully drags the blade across his arm to let the blood run freely. This sudden change of behavior and drastic measures taken could be the sub conscious control of the sleep deprivation taking over Caleb’s actions. During this moment in the scene, Caleb’s uncontrollable behavior of the cutting of his arm could have been linked to the control of sleep deprivation on the mind, which then correlates to the meme control mentioned in Charles Gleick’s
