The Spirit Of The Beehive
The Spirit of the Beehive is a film from 1973 that primarily follows a little girl by the name of Ana and her fascination with the film Frankenstein.
Discuss the interaction between Ana and the fugitive. Explain how it relates to the film Frankenstein. Ana’s sister, Isabel, shows her a location where she claims Frankenstein resides. This is where she later finds the fugitive. I don’t know whether or not Ana actually thinks he is Frankenstein, but the fugitive is hurt and Ana helps him out by feeding and patching him up a bit. Ana’s childlike innocence helps her not make initial judgments, just like the girl in the Frankenstein film who shows kindness to Frankenstein despite him being a “monster”. The scenes feel very similar.
In conclusion,

    The Bee Meeting Analysis Essay

    Larkin’s use of alliteration when unfolding the content, that of Bleaney’s room, ‘flowered curtains, thin and frayed, Fall to within five inches of the sill’(l.3-4) creates an ironic bleak description of the things which presumably once surrounded Mr Bleaney; this contrasts the function of alliteration as its usually used in a playful manner. Using such a feature allows some light-heart, creating a rhythmic flow to the poem, despite the dismal atmosphere being presented. Larkin uses alliteration quite a few times in Mr. Bleaney, ‘Behind the door, no room for books or bags’ (l.9) signifying that the room in which he resided in was so box size that there was no space for leisure or anything exciting, not even behind the door where it may not…

    Themes In The Secret Life Of Bees

    The Secret Life of Bees is a novel written by Sue Monk Kidd that was published in 2001. It is about a girl named Lily who runs away from home with her maid Rosaleen. They wanted to get away from danger and racism. In the house, Lily finds out secrets about her dead mother and tries to learn more about her. The story shows a lot of cruelty. When an author uses their writing to represent cruelty in a story, it can be helpful in contributing to the overall theme or message. The cruelty that occurs in the story is racism, and it helps develop the theme of anyone can overlook stereotypes. In the book cruelty is shown when the three men are harassing Rosaleen on her way to register to vote, and when Lily was afraid to tell anyone that she and…

    Isolation and Resentment in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, deals with two very distinct individuals: the young-but-foolish Victor Frankenstein and his creation, the “Monster”. Victor is the main focus of the novel for the beginning chapters, while the rest of the work focuses more on the development and actions of the Monster. The characters of Victor and the Monster are first brought together during the Monster’s creation in Chapter 4 (34). It was Victor’s isolation from both his family and his peers that ultimately lead to his creation of the Monster, and it was the Monster’s feelings of isolation and resentment towards Victor that lead to his violent episodes. While these feelings are evident in both characters’ actions throughout the majority of the novel, it was during the Monster’s statements to Captain Robert Walton towards the end of the story that drives home the fact that the Monster’s actions were products of his repeated rejections when he attempted to be accepted by society and as such are not indicative of his inherent nature. It was these feelings of loneliness and resentment that drove both Victor and the Monster to their actions, and it is safe to assume that some of Shelley’s personal feelings of abandonment and resentment towards her mother bled through into her characters. These feelings are made evident by way of the diction of the characters, both elements of and deviations from the Gothic stereotype, the development of the characters throughout the story and the lack of any definite closure to the text.…

    Frankenstein Comparative

    Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, is considered one of the greatest literary works of the Romantic period. It is a tale of a man creating a monster, who then rejects it. Frankenstein, for decades, has been viewed as a horrific monster, but now, having studied both film and novel by Mary Shelley, and the author herself, I can see that the creature is not a monster, but is almost childlike. Having taken an immediate interest to the particular scene of “The Creation” of the creature, I have decided to focus solely on that chapter for my comparative.…

    Frankenstein Essay

    Mary Shelley’s science fiction novel, Frankenstein, is a Gothic horror story that captures reader’s attention leaving them with questions of their own morals and of the main characters. The novel arouses questions like, who should be allowed to create life? Is it right to kill for a greater good? Are some secrets best untold? These are all questions of morality and individuals will come up with their own opinions and answers based on their upbringing. In Frankenstein, main characters Victor Frankenstein and ‘The Monster’ are morally put to the test with decisions that will greatly affect their lives. In the end many readers find themselves wondering who are the antagonist and protagonist of the novel; Did Victor do wrong by creating The Monster, or did the Monster do wrong by killing innocent people?

    The Suffering of Frankenstein

    Frankenstein makes clear of Frankenstein’s innocence before everything becomes tragic. The reader is shown his largely happy and privileged childhood, his blameless obsession with knowledge, and how he arrived at studying what would soon become his downfall. When Frankenstein creates the monster the immediate effect is his disappointment and exhaustion. He is sickened by his own work and regrets the creation from the moment he saw it in the way everyone else will see it. Frankenstein is our tragic figure but the effects of his tragic flaw do not end with his own suffering.…

Two themes are at the heart of the story, the most important being creation, but emphasis is also placed on alienation from society.

    This close reading is about a passage derived from the Letters in the beginning of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. This extract was chosen because it acts as a good preface to what the remaining novel will be about. It serves as an introductory passage that builds suspense and interest; marking the first instance that the book begins to hint at the plot’s main intentions. The overall mood it conveys is one of intrigue. It skirts on the edges of the central conflict of the novel, leaving the reader absorbed and eager to discover what will occur next. The language used to express the characters’ endeavors in this passage is expertly crafted and its precise word usage accurately portrays the novel’s overall intent.…

    Maya The Bee Character Analysis

    In the “Maya the bee” I like a lot of characters such as Flip the grasshopper, Miss Cassandra an adult bee and the little Ben the bung beetle, but the most character that I like is the little bee whose name Maya. This bee was born in the hive along with Willy; Maya’s best friend and other bees. Since she born, she was not like other bees, she was very curious about what beyond the hive. She is a smart and very kind bee. All the bees love her, but unintentionally she brought a lot of troubles to the hive. For thus, the bees were annoyed by her unacceptable behaviors. Later, she believed that she did not belong to the hive anymore. She felt resentful about living in the hive and doing the regular bees’ duties. At that point she knew that she had to convince the queen to let her leave the hive. The problem was: asking to…
