General Vision and Viewpoint
In the light of the above statement, compare the general vision and viewpoint in at least two texts you have studied in your comparative course.
Throughout my study of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Sive by John B.Keane and Casablanca directed by Michael Curtiz, there was no doubt that each text presented me with an outlook on life which shaped my general vision and view point to either one of positivity or in many cases, negativity. In all three texts which I have studied, the author’s use of intriguing characters, vital key moments and the all important resolution to the three texts, all contributed to my outlook on life, either bright or dark and as result, shaping my GVV to its appropriate outlook.
The author’s creation of characters in all three texts successfully presented me with an outlook on life, which depending on each individual character gave me a bright or dark outlook on life which shaped my general vision and viewpoint. Curtiz, who portrays Rick as a rather cynical owner of a cafe, Victor Laszlo as a clear embodiment of that of a noble hero and Ilsa as a loyal wife led me to make close comparisons of both Keanes and Bronte’s characters. Heathcliff who defies being misunderstood, Edgar who is mannerly and graceful and Catherine who thrives on ambition further led me to make comparisons with Mike; a man of questioning beliefs, Liam; a boy caught up in love and finally Sive, who just like Ilsa and Catherine, finds herself as a part of a somewhat ‘love triangle’. The portrayal of Rick, Heathcliff and Mike all led me to make close comparisons, as all three characters similarly gave me an outlook on life that was no doubt a combination of both brightness and darkness, and hence giving me a GVV that often shifted between a negative one and that of a positive one. All three men are characters which I certainly formed a love/hate relationship with. Heathcliff, who very much like Rick, plays a rather dominant role and it is clear to me of the
