While John’s treatment of his wife’s depression is wrong, he does not necessarily do anything to make it worse. Just by ignoring her he is mistreating her. The problem with John in the story is that he holds all of the authority. He is her doctor as well as her caretaker. He is also stubborn and so sure he knows what is best for his wife that he disregards her opinion as just a symptom of her illness. His overly rational disposition and ignorance towards her proves him to be dangerous. John treats his wife more as a medical case than a person. He wants her to get better but ends up just making her situation a lot worse. It is this counterproductively that makes John’s character ironic.…

Marriage for a Femme Fatale is not a promise of love, romance and connection but rather one of unhappiness and darkness. In this film the family home is just a location to which displeasure thrives, and where Mr. Dietrichson hardly notices his wife both mentally and physically. In many noir films marriage life is almost sadistic, in Double indemnity it is clear that marriage and sexuality contrast each other, and that death and pleasure are the same thing. Another aspect of femme Fatale marriages in film noir is the nonexistence of children. In some circumstances the husband of the femme fatale is much older meaning that he may have an older child from his previous marriage, for example Mr.Dietrichson has a daughter Lola (Jean Heather). Phyllis…

There are three stories that I loved in particular during this quarter. The Things They Carried, A Roman Incident, and A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings. These three stories carried a lot of emotion and excitement. They all have different plots and backgrounds, but for the most part, there are so much in common between these three stories in a psychological, socio/political, spiritual, queer, and feminist lens. Besides those examples, the one thing that connects these three the most is that the reader can find love in all of the stories.…
The Queen’s wrath he kept saying as we flew from the Queen’s grim, dismal, displeasurable for anyone who enters with bad notice, unwelcoming castle. Why he kept saying that repetitively I don’t know while flying the Queen’s black dragon. That could almost represent a black hole that light couldn’t go through, and the dragon's scales every time it took a breath would open up a glow of green as like if it was irritated blood. I asked the man his name he says with a murmur voice “The Queen’s wrath”. Since he said it so many times it repetitions in my mind as if I’m studying for a grammar test constantly. I then demanded him say where were we heading in a instance we divebomb to the ground with a swift, headlong straight into a rebel camp. With…
The main character, Ann, in “Z For Zachariah” by Robert C. O’Brien, is a dynamic character. At the beginning of the story, Ann hated being alone in a valley after a nuclear war. Ann has lived in a cave, with some supplies, ever since. She is desperate. Everyday she would pray and hope for someone to come so that she would not have to be alone. "At first when all the others went away, I hated being alone, and I watched the road all day and most of the night hoping that a car, anybody, would come over the hill from either direction" (O’Brien, pg 5) This support shows that Ann is hoping for someone to come because she is lonely and she wants someone to be with her. A person that is alone surely desires to have someone be with the or for them to come. It is obvious that this quote shows that Ann wants someone to come to her or in her direction. However, towards the end of the book Ann starts to regret ever wishing for someone to come to her. She has sort-of has become rivals with the man who came to the valley, Mr.John Loomis. “ I knew then that I could not stay in the valley any longer. I was too sad and angry and did not want to think of Mr. Loomis or see him again” (pg 237). It is crystal clear that Ann, at the end of the story, never wants to see Mr. Loomis again because of his creepy personality. He has controlled and abused Ann in several ways. He made her do all the chores in the field and other places. Mr. Loomis has controlled her ever since he recovered from his sickness. A person creeped out ,by another person wishes to never see that person again. Throughout the story Ann was a very brave person and stayed strong even when she was in a situation. At the beginning of the story she hoped and watched for someone to come and when the man , Mr. Loomis, comes she had seconds thoughts about him the more she got to know him. So, as you can see, Ann is a dynamic character.…
