One theme that is present is that money doesn't buy happiness. In the poem, the rich man had pride of a millionaire, but depression of a homeless man. Life was hollow and gold was just as common as oxygen. On the other hand, the man living in poverty was exuberant since he didn’t take things for granted and put a great deal of endeavor for things he desire. In relation, Soc’s in the novel Outsiders went around flaring off their wealth to have power over the greasers. Even though they had all this money, Socs did not have such a strong bond as the…

There is also an interesting point when Mr. Birling talks openly of Gerald and Sheila’s social divide, “Your mother…feels you might have done better for yourself socially [than Sheila]”. This shows that the Birlings and the Crofts, both rich families, opinion that social class is everything and cannot be overlooked. Overall, the evening is almost entirely focused on society itself and how to ‘properly’ act in it.…

There are many areas within the novel which give evidence to support the view that the main theme is about "the darkness of mans heart.". The first part of the novel is a very important part as it sets the scene of how these boys have such beautiful surrounding's and how they are keen to think of ways to be rescued and just the pleasures of day to day life they enjoy. During the opening stages you can sense that the boys still have a strong memory of law and order and how to conduct themselves. One thing that shows this is when Roger an almost non existent character with little dialogue throws stones at a small child, not to hit him as he is circled with 'the taboo of old life'…
There are a number of themes that can be extracted from the play based film, "Becket." They range everywhere from loyalty, honor, and friendship to politics and religious views of the time and concepts of secular and spiritual seperations. Many of these concepts presented in the film hold much contemporary relavance.…
In the beginning, Lola is a subservient child living under a very dominant old-world Dominican mother. She did all the right things that were expected from a Dominican hija; she cleaned, cooked, did well in school and raised her brother. It was after her first premonition, the time that she was to “begin”, that Lola began to rebel against her mother’s ways.…
The first scene that will be analyzed is that of opening credits and just how exactly this begins to set the stage for the main theme. In the very first frame, which also becomes the establishing shot, we come to a high angle shot that is zoomed in close on the words "Sunset Blvd" painted on a street curb as the image is also flooded with dramatic nondiegetic music. This becomes very important because the curb is also the gutter. Here, not even ten seconds into the movie, do we get our first glimpse of what the film is about; the mise-en-scene here involving a symbolic visual correlation to the central theme an this gutter frame is depicted through this entire establishing shot. Along with this we get more connection through the voice over actually describing, in an almost a sarcastic manner which should not be the case at all, about a murder on this high class, high status block. It's almost as if this is a clear depiction of the true chaos tied in with how this Hollywood life can and will be to…
The play shows us that this lifestyle can be one of great misfortune.

There comes a time in certain individuals’ lives where they feel it is necessary to fight for what they believe in. Many a time, this decision puts them at a crossroads with the preconceived expectations of society and their own ideals. Failure to conform and fit in with the majority results in a moral battle of individual vs. society. Motives for what drives the individual vary but the result usually consists of tragedy. “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “Paul’s Case” (1905) by Willa Sibert Cather both highlight social issues, of the late-19th and early-20th centuries respectively, by playing with the theme of individual vs. society. Their main characters both share the same struggle and are related with similar tactics taken towards the development of theme. Nevertheless, there is evidence of different approaches taken towards illustrating theme when comparing both authors in detail. The specific elements used by each author to demonstrate theme, either alike or differential, can be found in the emphasis of an underlying problem with their main characters, prevalent gender stereotyping, and the inevitable result from the constant struggle with society.…
