Robinson and especially at the inciting incident. The contrast between Ben’s shock and Mrs. Robinson’s nonchalant demeanor is both humorous for the audience and significant for the film’s progression. The dysfunction of the relationship between the two characters—the former a dubious graduate whose uncertainty about the future leaves him with no sense of direction, and the latter a reserved seductress whose longing for fulfillment like she had in the past leads her to develop a highly unorthodox, sacrilegious relationship, particularly so in the period of the film—is the main conflict of the film. While this creates comedy as expected, the emotional truth of Mrs. Robinson appears during the bedroom scene, wherein she reveals that she has “lost interest” in art, just as her husband has lost interest in…

After catching his wife in bed with his boss and then finding out a day or so later that his father passed away, Judd’s life began to spiral out of control even faster than it already was. After receiving news of the request his father had asked, he was told that he needed to live at home for seven days in order to properly mourn the death of his fathers. The next seven days at home created a huge mess for the family. There were arguments and physical fights, but there was also love and affection from each family member.

RMF explores the catalytic nature of relationships in constructing an imperative sense of significance, comfort and security, through examining the themes of love, compassion and alienation. This is reflected through the contrast between Romulus’ “life, his values, his friendship with Hora and marriage to Milka”, and his relationship with his first wife, Christine. Romulus and Christine’s relationship is based on an “unrealistic hope”, and a tremulous love, recognised and expressed by Raimond in his narration as “naïve”. This is supported by his description of Christine as “a troubled city girl…[who] couldn’t settle in a.. landscape that highlighted her isolation”, the contrast of which emphasises her destructive inability to form satisfying relationships, alienating her from Romulus, Raimond and the sense of security and comfort implicated by the notion of a united family. This is emphasised as Christine “stood separately, weeping bitterly” at Mitru’s funeral, with use of emotive language to craft an image of isolation, conveying the impacts of alienation and loss on her temperament.…

Confusion is perhaps one of the most powerful anxieties that one can experience. Quite often, it can cause an individual to greatly diverge from themselves. For this reason it is rare that confusion is found by itself, seeing as it is usually accompanied by other complications; stress and mental instability are but a few. Robert Ross kills a man in the battlefield, and instantly becomes submerged in a state of confusion: “He couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t speak. He could barely see. He sat with his head between his knees. He didn’t even know the gun was still in his hand until he reached with it to wipe the mud from his face.” (Findley, 130). Robert Ross experiences a sudden flush of confusion and stress. Ross cannot breathe, speak, or see: thus, he is without sense. This conveys the theme of confusion for the reader. Throughout the novel, confusion is used to establish the presence of chaos and foreshadow future events. Later on in the novel, Robert Ross undergoes a traumatic experience that leaves him in an utter state of confusion and violation. The previous experience is described in the following quotation: “The towel was suddenly yanked from his hand and he stood there naked and…
