Evaluating Dead Poets Society through the Archetypical lenses there is various symbols and quotes from the book. One would notice that in Dead Poets Society this is a lot of symbols and quote with a dark meaning behind them. Such as when the Dead Poets Society starts a session in their secret cave they start by saying “ I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,” (Kleinbaum 26). At the beginning of this quote i seems very peaceful but, it takes a darker turn near the end.

    “The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call ‘out there.’ . . .The land is flat, the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them.”…

    Lord Of The Flies Quote Analysis

    First of all, the government doesn’t always protect the patriot and defend the patriot the same way the patriot does for the Government. This is evident in numerous moments in American history and it is also shown all throughout the novel,\ “Lord of the Flies”. Simon was a very devoted and efficient member of the island community. He often listens and follows what Ralph and Piggy say. Although, this sense of loyalty and trust that Simon had toward Ralph ultimately lead to his demise. One of the major issues that the community of children had in the island was the constant fear of the beastie, an imaginary monster that lives in the jungle, that cause the “Littluns” to have nightmares. Simon finds out there isn’t a beast, instead it was a dead skydiver. He runs back to inform everyone that there is no beast but his community turns on him and kills him (quote). When the oldest of the community realize what they have done, they covered up his death by dragging his body into the sea and convince the littluns that he was the beast by saying "I expect the beast disguised himself”. Simon died trying to help his community,…

    Rhapsody In The Rain Quote Analysis

    The Narrator also says things that are just about impossible. In the beginning of the story, he says, “I heard all things in heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in Hell.” (542). He is saying that he can hear things that know one could ever hear in their lifetime. He is being very dishonest, because practically everyone knows this is not true. Another example is when he says, “The ringing became more distinct-it continued and became more distinct…” (546). The ringing he is referring to is the heartbeat. The heartbeat of the man he killed, chopped up, and stuffed under the floorboards. This is impossible; to hear someone’s heart beat we need a stethoscope. We need certain tools, but he thinks he can hear a heartbeat with just his ear, and nothing else. Some people can’t hear people talking from across the room, and the majority of people can’t hear anything from a mile away. This shows he is untrustworthy, and he could be telling a false story.…

    The House Of The Scorpion Quote Analysis

    “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. When Lord Acton, an 1800s English historian, spoke these words he was warning others that if one person is given too much power, there will likely be consequences. He also stated when someone is given absolute power, there is not a doubt that person will become corrupted. In the same fashion, characters in The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, abuse power or are affected by the abuse of power. In the beginning of the book, Matt, a young boy, leaves the confinement of his home for the first time only to realize he is a clone, which causes him to be isolated and treated like a wild beast by Rosa, a maid of the Alacran Estate. After six months, El Patron takes Matt under his wing and provides…

    The novel, A Lesson before Dying, was written by Ernest J. Gaines in 1993. Gaines was born on the River Lake plantation in Louisiana, where he was raised by his aunt, Miss Augusteen Jefferson.

    The Crucible Quote Analysis

    The Crucible is not only a recounting of the Salem witch trials. Behind this story, Arthor Miller most wants to say is the essentiality of humanity. The most representative thing is what people do is mostly to satisfy their own interests, so mush as willing to believe outrageous lies when those lies serve their interests. Arthur Miller develops the characters to present this theme. His depiction of Putnam couple, Reverend Parris and Judge Danforth, which could effectively prove this theme.…

    Dead Poets Society My Gut Quotes

    The movie “Dead Poets Society” has a recurring theme of being outgoing and assertive with yourself. One quote in particular stands above the rest to me. “Sucking all the marrow out of life doesn’t mean choking on the bone.” Mr. Keating. My gut tells me that the quote is about when you take life for granted, then you will end up being stuck in a rut. Basically, if the this makes it easier to understand, imagine a large glass of water as life. If you drink it too fast or have to much you will most likely choke. It’s pretty much has the same meaning as the quote. A good example of this is when one of the kids in the movie that interrupts a big school assembly, a fake telephone takes it far enough when expressing trying to express himself. He practically…

    Confucius Lord Of The Flies Quote Analysis

    As Confucius, a very old Chinese philosopher, once said "Life is very simple, but we insist on making it complicated." The aspects that make our society more complicated and corrupted are our emotions and actions. Philosophers make the journey through our life more simplistic, by creating logical and sensible quotes based on real events that occur during their life. To create these quotes philosophers use the tool of didactical reasoning. If the characters in the tragedized book, "Lord of the Flies" heard about Confucius's philosophy, it may have caused them to experience less adversity.These characters experienced emotions such as fear and victimization which impacted them through the book in a negative way and were the factors of the…

    The Stranger Quote Analysis

    While reading the Stranger I noticed a pattern of avoiding emotional words or describing events that for a normal person would have great emotional impact. ”Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace”(Albert 59). After reading this part of the book you could tell there was no emotion in Meursault. After killing someone you would fell some sort of emotion even if that may be hatred, remorse or fear you would think Meursault would show emotion but its like he is made of ice. Another instance of this story being strait forward in the descriptions is when Meursault is at his mother’s funeral. “Then finally she shut up. I didn’t feel drowsy anymore, but I was tired and my back was hurting…

    The Crucible Quotes Analysis

    Written by Arthur Miller, the Crucible is a reading filled with many significant and important quotes. One excerpt expresses the hidden dishonesty and deceit within the Puritan society. It says, “There are wheels within wheels in this village, and fires within fires” (28). At this part in the play, Mrs. Anne Putnam is having a dispute with Rebecca Nurse over the reasoning for her many miscarriages. Unlike Mrs. Putnam, Rebecca has been granted with plenty of children making her quite envious over Rebecca. She tries to suggest that maybe the Devil helped her have so many kids. This quote is therefore used by Mrs. Putnam to express her religious knowledge in order to help explain about this mysterious and puzzling event that has been occurring in their quaint village recently.…

    Individualism in Dead Poets Society

    The movie Dead Poet’s Society explores the concept of individualism in great depth. The numerous conflicts that the characters face throughout the movie demonstrate the fundamental principles of existentialism and transcendentalism. Neil Perry’s suicide, for instance, illustrates the disturbing existential consequences that can transpire when an individual’s authority is allowed to prevail against tradition. On the other hand, however, the triumph of the individual spirit may sometimes have a positive outcome—as in the case of Knox Overstreet, an example of transcendentalism. When Knox becomes obsessed with a certain girl named “Chris”—without actually meeting her—he ends up risking his life to win her heart. In both cases, characters assume individual authority for their choices and stop obeying traditional authority figures; they embark on a trip of self-discovery and individual growth that will have a lasting impact on their futures.…
