Environment In The Pedestrian, And Miss Brill
In many of the works we have read thus far, a character is isolated or alienated from or in conflict with his or her culture and/or environment. Two prime examples of this dilemma include Leonard Mead in “The Pedestrian,” and Miss Brill in “Miss Brill.” Labeled as outcasts whether willingly or unwillingly, the main characters struggle to identify with their current environment. Throughout these short stories it is evident they become more and more detached from their surroundings.
Throughout Ray Bradbury’s “The Pedestrian” the main character Leonard Mead is at odds with the brain-dead society he lives in. Everyone in society is the same in how they live their lives; they go to work during the day, stay inside and sit in front of the television

    In “The Pedestrian” Ray Bradbury explores the idea that man’s reliance on technology, especially television, will lead to a future where he punishes individuals who dare to be nonconformists. This theme is revealed through the title of the story, the central conflict, and the outcome of this conflict. First, the title “The Pedestrian” is defined as an individual who is walking along a road. This title is a direct reference to the protagonist of the story, Leonard Mead, as he is the pedestrian that enjoys walking around at night. Second, the central conflict is Mead versus society, because most everyone relies on their television for entertainment, while Mead finds comfort in walking at night. In the ten years that he has been nightly walks,…

    Often in narratives, the authors chosen setting has a subtle but important impact on the story. This is notable in Ernest Buckler’s “Long, Long After School” and Santha Rama Rau’s “By Any Other Name.” Whereas Buckler’s story focuses on the segregation of the main character, Rama Rau’s concentrates on the attempted assimilation she faced as a child. However, both literary works demonstrate that setting is key to shaping the characters.…

    American fiction writer, Danielle Evans, composes her short stories in such a way that the reader feels compelled to judge a character’s actions. Evans perfects the art of influencing a reader to relate to or feel strong emotion throughout a story. She centralizes the majority of her short stories on the concept of character isolation and the internal conflict caused by such isolation. This isolation stems from the rootlessness found in Evans’ characters. Her characters struggle to find a home, whether it be paternally, romantically, or internally, but they never quite make it there. The best example of this can be found in Evans’ short story “Jellyfish.” The two main characters, William and Eva, struggle with a multitude of internal issues.…

    Albert Camus’ ‘The Outsider’ and J.D Salinger’s ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ both have central characters who find themselves on the boundaries of the society they live in. Holden Caulfield finds himself ‘lonesome’ in 1950’s New York, in the lead up to Christmas, while Meursault, the protagonist of Camus’ novel faces trial before a jury after committing the murder of an unnamed Arab man, in 1930’s Algeria. The question we must ask ourselves as readers is: are the stories of these two men still relevant to life in the twenty-first century, and if so, why?…

    Leonard Mead lived in a uncomplicated lifestyle of nightly wonders in the narrative, The Pedestrian, written by Ray Bradbury. Under the circumstance in 1952 with technology on the rise, Mr.Mead is awfully pessimistic with society during his diurnal evening walks; often, he is considered envious, mistakened by society, and happily self-reliant. Constantly, Leonard Mead envies those living in his community due to their lack of interest of reality. During one nightly walk, he makes a mockery of those co-dependant: “‘what is it now?’ He asked the houses noticing his wrist watch. ‘Eight thirty PM? Time for a dozen assorted murders? A quiz? A revue? Comedian falling off stage?’.. In ten years of walking by day or night,for thousand of miles,he…

    Throughout history and modern day texts and films, archetypes have been used to add significance and meaning to literature by allowing us to understand patterns of human behaviour. Looking at the archetype of the outsider, the reader speculates the outsider’s purpose to challenge the values and the assumed expectations of society; such as the actions of society to initiate change in the archetype? The “novel catcher in the rye” by jd Salinger, and the film “Gran Torino” by Clint eastwood both explore the issues isolate the archetype from society. By analysing the most captivating aspects of the outsider, we come to realise that we must accept and respect one another’s differences and the individual need to be more indulgent and understanding of society in order to not be segregated from it.…

    Since the turn of the century, new technology has slowly begun to create an anti-social and impersonal society. Take, for instance, the advancement of the entertainment industry; people's idea of a social night out is "going to the movies", where there is very limited social interaction. With the advancements of kitchen appliances, time is rarely spent with ones family in the kitchen whether it is to cook, wash dishes, or just socialize. Since online chat rooms and email, the use of the telephone has become almost obsolete, and people rarely meet face-to-face. When one thinks of how impersonal western civilization is today, try to imagine life fifty years from now. The short story "The Pedestrian", written by Ray Bradbury, is set fifty years from today. In "The Pedestrian" impersonality is shown to be the result of advancements in technology through the symbolic use if the empty police car, the empty streets and the continuous viewing of television.…

    It is normal in today’s world to feel as an outcast or unwelcome at times. It is a very unfortunate and saddening feeling to feel as such. An outcast is, “a person who has been rejected by society or a social group .” Fortunately, we have writers and authors who are able to focus and elaborate on this feeling of being an outcast, and give us a result of what can happen if someone faces the fears of being an outcast from society for a length of time. Both, Doveskey and Kafka focus on the idea of their central character being an outcast and exiled from society. In both the works of “Notes from Underground” and The Metamorphosis, the central characters find themselves as an outcast from society. In “Notes from Underground” the cause of being an outcast is a direct result of the central character. While it is opposite in The Metamorphosis; the cause of being an outcast is not a result of the central character. Ultimately, the cause for being an outcast is not always the…
