    Double Indemnity: The Film Noir

    The last three lines of dialogue reaffirm the details we already know, or have at least inferred by now: Walter's extreme betrayal of Keyes, Keyes' hurt caused by this wrong, and the still undying love between the two. Walter had told Keyes he loved him sarcastically in the office one time before in his brusque macho staccato, but when Walter says "I love you too," he means it this time. The repetition of the same line, one a sarcastic barb and one an earnest admission, shows arguably the only growth on Walter's part as an individual, and it is still in fact characterized by his relationship with another.…

    Walter’s Interview: Walter’s Interview in my opinion did not go very well. For starters even as the video says you are supposed to greet someone with a handshake and Walter did not do that. Also his posture did not represent an enthusiastic interviewee. His responses to the questions were not what they should’ve been. His feedback was not focused on the topic at hand. And lastly he was unorganized.…

    Walter Lee Younger: Selfish to Selfless - Essay

    The reality of being unable to achieve his dreams burdens Walter and eventually changes him into a greedy, selfish and cowardly young man who makes poor decisions and hurts those who love him. Walter’s obsession with money has caused his family a lot of trouble, especially when it comes to the discussion of the $10,000 insurance money they receive. He belittles Beneatha’s dreams of becoming a doctor and says, “Ain’t many girls who decide to be a doctor”(36). Walter even claims that spending money on Beneatha’s education is a waste, and that he and Ruth would have been richer and happier if Beneatha dropped school. Not only does he put down Beneatha’s dreams, he also selfishly wants all of the insurance money so that he can open a liquor store to make his own dream of being rich and successful come true. Ruth thought Walter was a dreamer and tells him to “eat your eggs” (34) every time he brings up his dreams. When he realizes that he none of his family supports his desire to opening a liquor store, he becomes a bitter and cowardly man. When Ruth tells him that she is pregnant and considering an abortion, he…

    The Painted Veil

    Shortly after meeting earnest, socially awkward bacteriologist Walter Fane at a party, vivacious, vain, and vacuous London socialite Kitty Garstin enters into a loveless marriage with him at the urging of her domineering mother. Following a honeymoon in Venice, the couple go to Shanghai, where the doctor is stationed in a government lab studying infectious diseases. Kitty meets Charles Townsend, a married British vice consul, and the two engage in a clandestine affair. When Walter discovers his wife's infidelity, he seeks to punish her by threatening to divorce her on the grounds of adultery if she doesn't accompany him to a small village in a remote area of China, where he has volunteered to treat victims of an unchecked cholera epidemic sweeping through the area. Kitty begs to be allowed to divorce him quietly and he agrees, provided Townsend will leave his wife Dorothy and marry her. When she proposes this possibility to her lover, he declines to accept, and she is compelled to travel to the mountainous inland region…
