    Most movies that are inspired by books hold some relation to the author's version, but are changed to fit the director's vision and perhaps make the movie more presentable. "Paul's Case" the movie, beginning to the end, is basically the same, but slight differences were found in the characters' physical traits, setting, some symbolism, and the plot. However, these changes were not significant enough to change the story as a whole.…

    Edith Warthon was born in New York City into a very wealthy family. She was forced into a loveless marriage and eventually fell in love with another man. Her life closely resembles the two books she wrote--Age of Innocence and Ethan Frome. Age of Innocence was a novel by Edith Warthon that was turned into a movie. Newland was about to marry May when May’s cousin Ellen came from Europe to New York. Newland found himself wanting to be with Ellen rather than May. Ethan Frome was very similar to Age of Innocence and was the story of a poor man, his wife, and her cousin who find themselves in a love conflict. Ethan was married to Zeena, his very ill wife. In order for Ethan to continue to work, Zeena’s cousin, Mattie, came to take care of her. Ethan instantly fell for the young, charming, and beautiful Mattie. The film and the novel share similarities in the representation of symbolism and jealousy in the main characters yet differ in how their love affairs were resolved.…

    Throughout the book, Paul’s attitude towards Keller changes many times usually as a direct result of the way Keller treats him. For example, when Keller throws away one of Paul’s manuscripts, Paul fiercely hates him but when Keller surprisingly says that Paul should have won the music competition, Paul once again feels genuine affection for him. These changes in feelings by Paul show that he is a character who often lets his heart rule his head, and that his behaviour is very often dictated by his emotional condition.…

    Paul's character is majorly influenced by Keller throughout the course of the book. It is through Keller, that Paul learns many valuable lessons in life, however, ironically, he does not realise it at the time, "you are pig-ignorant Paul". A very self-centred charater, Paul believes that he is capable of anything and is quite arrogant about it. Only afterwards, looking back, does Paul realise how stupid he had been, "His echoes were always an immense improvement and this also - in my youthful arrogance - I decided was mechanical" One of the major personality traits of Paul is that he is never quite perfect, never quite all there, he seems to be one step away from the action. This theme is revisited throughout the book. For example, when Paul is spying, through a gap between books, on the couple having sex in the aisle next to him, it symbolises that he is always on the outside, almost…

    What we see as Romance, is not really Romance at all. Words are sweet and wonderful, but do they really mean what they sound like? In "Madame Bovary," by Gustave Flaubert, the author uses equine imagery to satirize Romanticism, cleverly using horses to foreshadow the downfall of his carefully structured "Cinderella" scene. Madame Bovary will eventually die in large debt, and as Flaubert explicitly describes her gruesome death, our traditional ideas of Romance are knocked down. Charles is so distraught and filled with fury that his "nostrils fluttered, [and] his lips quivered" (Page 1249), just like a horse does when it gets agitated. All Rodolphe cared about was "farming, livestock, fertilizers"(1248). Charles contained everything that Emma wanted, yet she failed to see. By using this image of a horse in distress, Flaubert shows us Charles's true enraged emotion and his willingness to do anything to have her love him equally. Unfortunately for Charles, Madame Bovary was in love with the man who did not care, and only saw her as an extra horse in his stable.…

    In the beginning of the story, Paul seems to be a typical teenage boy: in trouble for causing problems in the classroom. As the story progresses, the reader can infer that Paul is rather withdrawn. He would rather live in his fantasy world than face reality. Paul dreaded returning home after the Carnegie Hall performances. He loathed his "ugly sleeping chamber with the yellow walls," but most of all, he feared his father. This is the first sign that he has a troubled homelife. Next, the reader learns that Paul has no mother, and that his father holds a neighbor boy up to Paul as "a model" . The lack of affection that Paul received at home caused him to look elsewhere for the attention that he craved.…

    Although the roots of the American Dream are founded on opportunity for all, it has become an inaccessible illusion for most. John Steinbeck’s novella “Of mice and men” explores the fragility of this concept in a more modern context. Whereas Sam Mendez’s film “American Beauty” uses black comedy to highlight the allusive nature of the American dream that has become perverted by an affiant society. Both of these texts expose a reality that reveals the isolation and loneliness experienced from pursuing American dream.…

    Emma And Clueless

    • 1921 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The notion of the necessity of romantic love, marriage and the expectation of woman are all equally important themes in both texts. Although, these themes are evident throughout both ‘Emma’ and ‘Clueless’, they have been transformed from Emma’s context to suit the audience and the context of ‘Clueless’. The themes that are evident in both texts are constantly defined by gender. Austen’s narrative characteristic for the novel ‘Emma’ is an ironic and amused commentary conducted by the narrator when describing the character’s actions. In Austen’s novel, an early description of Emma’s character, narrated from Mrs Weston’s perspective, in fact is an ironic publicity of Emma’s faults. “She could not think, without pain, of Emma’s losing a single pleasure, or suffering an hour’s ennui, from the want of her companionableness: but dear Emma was of no feeble character; she was more equal to her situation than most girls would have been” The irony of this part of text is that while Emma ultimately does not have any trouble finding new companions in her social group, her idea of companionship is to manipulate others into advantageous marriages. Furthermore, shown with this example is Emma’s obsession with marriage which subtlety makes socially related comments on the unequal status of women. This originally descended from the cultural status of…

    The two works Emma (1816) by Jane Austen and Clueless (1995) directed by Amy Heckerling have many of similarities in their characters. Despite the fact that Clueless is a remake film of Emma, the characters of each works are certainly parallel in the conditions of their development and achievement. Although the two works are made in very different times, the ideas and issues are comparable. The main characters in the text and the film are both obsessed with being matchmakers and believe that they have the ability to improve other people’s lives. However, the characters Emma and Cher are negligent toward other people’s feelings when they try to make matches. Once Emma and Cher realize their carelessness,…
