In the Mood for Love according to me in a classic romantic movie which captures the emotion of love very beautifully. The story is about the doomed romance between two neighbors Mr.Chow and Mrs.Chan , whose spouses are having an illicit affair. While their spouses are away "on business"/"taking care of a sick mother" the neighbors go out for dinners and hang out together on lonely nights. While trying to not be like their spouces they end up falling in love with each eather although resisting
Released in 2000, and called the "…love story of the new millennium" (Time Out New York), In the Mood for Love (2000) is one of the best and most underrated foreign film. From its nostalgic depiction of the 1960s to its artistically appealing cinematography, this film has become a staple in the ever evolving, fast-paced film industry. Consequently, after having watched it I was in a daze for days, day dreaming about the characters, reimaging their fates, this movie could not leave me. I wouldn’t
In the Mood for Love: Deconstructed The first few things I noticed when I began watching Wong Kar-Wai’s In the Mood for Love were the interesting mise en scène, the frequent use of off-screen space and the fact that almost every shot in the film is a frame within a frame. Using this internal framing is common in many films but I have never seen it used quite so extensively. Not only is it used more frequently than in most films, I also feel as though it blocks off more of the available space within

Mood and Atmosphere of The Pity of Love, Broken Dreams, and The Fisherman The Pity of Love is a short, relatively simple poem, yet it still manages to create a feeling of anxiousness, of desperate worry. Yeats achieves this in only eight lines of average length by extremely careful and precise use of language and structure. The poem begins with the line "A pity beyond all telling•, immediately setting the general tone and basic point of the piece, elevating his despair to its highest levels and
Garden of Love" from Songs of Experience have in common the experiences of a shepherd but "The Shepherd" creates a joyful and friendly mood through the word choice of Blake while "The Garden of Love" creates a sorrowful mood by means of imagery. In "The Shepherd" the sweet and love-filled diction creates a joyful mood while in "The Garden of Love" the juxtaposition of bright and gloomy imagery creates a depressing and negative mood. In "The Shepherd" the bright diction creates the positive mood whereas
Juliet’s love is sufficient to make him invincible against any form of physical weapon or threat. The play describes the tragedy of two children of clashing families falling in love under the most depressing of circumstances in fourteenth century Verona, Italy. Shakespeare creates conflicting moods to magnify the effects of the rivalry to the romance of the young Romeo and Juliet. The playwright Romeo and Juliet demonstrates how the author uses mood to treat the contradictory terms of love and war
of language, the way the scene is structured and changing moods and how Shakespeare makes use of dramatic devices like scene shifts and range of characters. Shakespeare has divided this scene into 7 sections. Section one is when the servants prepare for the party and Lord Capulet welcomes the guests. “You are welcome, gentlemen. Come musicians, play. A hall, a hall! Give room; and foot it, girls.” This shows us the pleasant mood Capulet is in. In this section Shakespeare makes the audience
The Poem Annabel Lee, written by Edgar Allan Poe, told a tale of love. In this romantic poem the narrator emanates feelings of passion, and overwhelming joy when he speaks of his beloved, Annabel Lee. Although the poem expresses the sorrow of Annabel’s demise, it accentuates the bond between the two characters, so much so that death could not break their eternal love for one another (Poe, 494; 495). Many literary devices were apparent in Poe’s poem Annabel lee. One of which being Rhythm, Poe creates
because they create a busy and lively mood as they organise every thing. "Away with the joint stools, remove the court cupboard, look to the plate. Good thou, save me a piece of march-pane, and, as thou loves me, let the porter Susan Grindstone and Nell. (He calls) Antony and Potpan!" This is a different atmosphere from Act One Scene Four as Romeo is unhappy just before they go to the party because he is in love with Roseline, and Roseline doesn't love him. Romeo and his friends wear masks
The Significance of Act 3 Scene 5 in Relation to the Mood of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Act 3 scene 5 is significant because its right in the middle and therefore it is very critical. The mood of the play up to this scene is very happy and romantic. After this scene the mood changes, this makes this scene a turning point. The main themes of this play are love and hate and light and dark, which I shall talk about later. In this scene Romeo and Juliet are happy because they
tone got darker and Armand told Desiree and her baby to leave assuming that Desiree had black in her. Armand soon discovered that he was the one with the black heritage and he lost his family because of him. In “ Desiree’s Baby” Kate Chopin uses tone/mood, irony, and theme to create the story dramatic and prominent. The literary device that Chopin uses to strengthen the drama and create the story prominent is irony. Irony is an expression that means something but means the opposite.
Sonnet Essay Love can be conveyed in many ways. It can be expressed through movements, gestures or even words on a paper. In William Shakespeare’s poems, “Sonnet 18” and “Sonnet 130,” both revolve around the idea of love, but are expressed in a different ways in terms of the mood, theme and the language used. Reading the poem once or twice may cause a reader to suggest that these two poems have the same mood. While both poems have a reference to a woman, they also vary in some ways. In “Sonnet

He also says she will forever, even after death, be beautiful. In sonnet 30 by Edna St Vincent Millay, she talks about how love is never easy or perfect, yet we would not give up anything in the world for it.

theme of love being accompanied by jealousy and loneliness, even after death by using repetition, mood and symbolism in a eerie and frightening fashion. While Poe is highly known for his horror stories he is also known for his phenomenal use of repetition in his poems.A classic example of Poe’s use of repetition is “Annabel Lee”. Throughout the entirety of the poem, the word “love” is frequently used. This is made apparent in the second stanza in which Poe expresses “ we loved with a love that was
After the death of a loved one, one might feel as if life is hopeless and meaningless without the person who they love the most. “Annabel Lee” is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. “Paint it Black” is a song by The Rolling Stones.

In both of these poems, symbols are used to represent how the speaker is feeling. “Paint it Black” uses colors
