This is the first threshold that Cohle crosses on his adventure. He and his partner find the church and a key piece of evidence linking it to the killer they are searching for. This first accomplishment in finding a piece of evidence signifies to the detectives, just as much as the viewer, that the case is progressing. They had not found any other evidence and this was welcomed by both partners. In this scene, Cohle experiences his first encounter of the immorality behind the crime. He sees in the
In literature, there are characters that are commonly portrayed as martyrs; that is, they are depicted as people who are put to death or endure great suffering of any belief, principle or cause. Such personages undergo personal suffering before finding redemption from sin. With Lorenzo in the short story The Martyr by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Sofia (Sonya) Marmeladova in Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the idea of undeserved suffering is clearly epitomized. Both characters are described
"I couldn't believe it, but it was the Klan blacklist, with my picture on it. I guess I must have sat there for about an hour holding it," says Moody in her autobiography Coming of Age in Mississippi. In Moody's response to the blacklist, one pervasive theme from her memoir becomes evident: though she participated in many of the same activist movements as her peers, Moody is separated from them by several things, chief among them being her ability to see the events of the 1960s through a wide, uncolored
Euripides’ Electra is a tragedy that encourages readers to consider the problematic nature of humanity’s response to injustice: its quest to make fair that which is unfair, to correct unjust actions, and to mark the fragile border between what is ethically correct and morally wrong. Aristophanes’ Clouds is a tragedy disguised as a comedy that illuminates Strepsiades’s profound disregard for justice, conduct, and the establishment of civilization. Underneath Aristophanes’ comedic approach lies a dark
Actions are valued more than words, silence is an acceptable form of communication, manliness is next to godliness, and respect and loyalty are key. These are a few guidelines that belong to the infamous cowboy code John Grady lives up to in “All the Pretty Horses”. According to critic Jane Tompkins, the code consists of "self-discipline; unswerving purpose; the exercise of knowledge, skill, ingenuity, and excellent judgment; and a capacity to continue in the face of total exhaustion and overwhelming

In the 1960’s, times were tough. It was hard to find work to support one’s family. In the movie Brokeback Mountain directed, by Ang Lee has two main characters Jack played by Jake Gyllenhaa and Ennis played by Heath Ledger. They both look at life very differently and handle life in a very different ways. In the movie, Lee develops two amazing characters who seem to be tough masculine guys, a scene where the men are fighting on the mountain, Ennis has an awful temper and tends to be violent, and the

Emily Choumbakos Literature Based Research Erin Lesh 4 May 2014 There is one clear main character, Mrs. Louise Mallard. The story is almost entirely focused on her, her feelings, and her personal mental journey from being a prisoner and a shell of a woman, living in an oppressive, patriarchal society within the confines of a marriage to the elation of newly acquired freedom and a rebirth of that that, for the first time, belongs to her solely. There are however three other characters in the short
The words from the man that founded evolution said it best, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent but the one most responsive to change,” said Charles Darwin in 1809. This quote is related to this conflict in Inherit the Wind because Drummond was open-minded and open to new beliefs. Where Brady, on the other hand, was very close minded and has a fixed mindset. I think the mindset of the lawyers was helpful in parts of their arguments. Drummond had a better
The women of the late sixties, although some are older than others, in Alice Walker’s fiction that exhibit the qualities of the developing, emergent model are greatly influenced through the era of the Civil Rights Movement. Motherhood is a major theme in modern women’s literature, which examines as a sacred, powerful, and spiritual component of the woman’s life. Alice Walker does not choose Southern black women to be her major protagonists only because she is one, but because she had discovered

Appearance vs. reality, the importance of free thought, and man vs. society are few of the major themes that are revealed more than once throughout the story. Appearance vs. reality is shown in “Inherit the Wind” through Brady and Drummond. In the story, Brady is sent to fight against Cates in the
Artem Yudin Slavic R5A SP14 April 1, 2014 ‘Blood Meridian’ as an ‘Anti-Western’ In a single sense, Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is a book in regards to the West; it is just a book that bridges this gap between your “old” mythological along with the “new” revisionist Traditional Western and creates a brand new direction to the genre to follow along with that of a more practical myth. It works by using and inverts various classic tasks of the cliché Western and sets them having themes in addition
Williams' Use of Imagery and Symbolism in A Streetcar Named Desire Williams uses figurative language in his lengthy stage directions to convey to the reader a deeper, more intense picture than a description alone could express. In the opening stage direction Williams illustrates the area around Elysian Fields. He uses personification to describe "the warm breath of the brown river" (P1). I think this creates an atmosphere that is decaying yet at the same time welcoming and affectionate.
