Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead II is the epitome of a splatter – comedy, psychological, slapstick, demony-hell, undead, monster (thing??), no-cohesive-genre, cult film. Made in 1987, Evil Dead II blurs the lines of genre through use of slapstick comedy, outrageous gore, and a horror – themed plotline; which is exemplified in the “dancing corpse” sequence. The sequence begins with a self – playing piano, the music being diegetic in contrast to the dancing portion of the sequence. The viewer assumes this trick

In this essay, I will explain and then evaluate Thomas Nagel’s deprivation account of death. I will explain Nagel’s considerations in regards to whether or not death is bad for the person who is dead, and the reasons for which he defends his claims. I will then go on to outline whether or not I believe Nagel’s claims are successful in light of the objections he attempts to refute. I will begin by setting the parameters of this discussion by emphasizing what Nagel defines to be death. Nagel writes
examining Shakespeare’s image of sleep, one can determine that sleep reinforces the idea of evil. Throughout the play the conventional idea of sleep as being a calm, restful time is switched around to demonstrate evil. When Macbeth is just about to murder Duncan in his sleep one sees his sleep is going to be disturbed. “Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse the curtained sleep.” (Shakespeare 41) “Nature seems dead,” shows that Macbeth is feeling guilt already, not just about him killing King Duncan
fundamentals of Christian faith. The book Truth Matters: Confident Faith in a Confusing World by Andreas Köstenberger and the film God’s Not Dead (Harold Cronk, 2014) present both similar and different viewpoints on defending one’s faith adequately. Arguments addressed by both the book and the film include the credibility of people, a concept of morals, and the existence of evil. The first argument mentioned by both the book and the film was that most people will take
Speaker for the Dead taught me that I have been and will always be my own main character, but that I should read the books of others. Ironically, Ender Wiggin, Ender the Xenocide, and the Speaker for the Dead are all the same person. Ender Wiggin: hero of the world who wiped out the entire Bugger race for the sake of mankind. Ender the Xenocide: the face of evil who slaughtered millions of innocent people just because they were different. Speaker for the Dead: the most understanding and
personal responsibility: my responsibility to the dead lives that preceded me. Sartre's writings suggest that accepting this responsibility can be a source of wisdom. Few historians, however, view history as transcending the orderly presenting and elucidating of facts, events, and processes. I contend that Sartre's writings suggest a personally enhancing commitment. A lucid and honest response to the challenges and demands of history and the dead lives that preceded my own existence is an engagement

In Lord of the Flies, Golding extensively uses of analogy and symbolism like the dead parachutist in Beast from Air to convey the theme of intrinsic human evil through the decay of the character’s innocence and the island itself. In this essay, I will view and explain Golding’s use of specific symbolism to explain the novel’s main themes. In Beast From Air, the boys have the false idea of the beast being the dead parachutist that falls on the island: the fear the boys have of the beast leads to the
In the book “ Lord of the Flies” William Golding shows that human nature is basically evil through the symbolism he uses. The entire novel is full of hidden meaning, and many of the items and people are facets of human nature.

The symbols that represent good

In his conclusion, he reaffirms that conscious existence ends at death and that there is no subject to experience death and death ultimately

their gruesome behavior the audience is given an easy out. Believing that evil has a root cause, the audience does not have to accept the shocking hypothesis that evil can simply exist without rhyme or reason. Even in the masterpiece Halloween (1978) we are tossed a half-hearted psychological explanation as to why Michael Myers does what he does. The psychobabble that Donald Pleasance spouts is simply that Myers is "pure evil," and there are some vague connections made between Myers witnessing his
