Accepting the past and moving forward is one of the most difficult tasks that must be faced following a tragedy. The disconnect felt between the present and the past can cause one to avoid reminders of the previous events in an attempt to escape further pain.

Topic Proposal: Feminist Approach to A Rose for Emily In William Faulkner’s pervasive story, the character in A Rose for Emily represents the idea of a woman’s place in society which questions the roles that were susceptible for woman. Due to a patriarchal power held over her for the majority of her life, she is unable to take control and spirals into a distortion of the way life and death is carried out.

Shakespeare’s ultimate goal was to resonate with his audience by using his creative and artistic talent. Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood is deemed worthy of keeping this spirit of Shakespeare alive. Kurosawa took the main themes and ideas of Shakespeare and interpreted them in such a way that made it the great film it is today.
