Opening Sound Tene In Slaughter's 'Twelfth Night'
Use the opening sound cue to foreshadow on-coming danger by using a universal symbol for danger. The distant siren is that of the shirtwaist factory fire trucks on their way to save the trapped workers, but they never reach them in time. Having the harsh work bell of the slaughterhouse interrupt the siren creates a sense of uneasiness, while also creating and undercurrent that continues the sense of danger into the next scene. This cue is for the end of the prelude transitioning into scene

    After realizing that Colin is dead, Carol eyes open in disbelief and a shriek discomforts viewers. Both silence and sound, like in this scene, is used throughout the film to create tension and emphasize terror. During the beginning of the film, music is lively and upbeat. At the salon, nondiegetic sounds of a flute and jazz paint a peaceful scenery. As Carol walks home, viewers hear traffic sounds and live band music. During the day birds are chirping, airplanes fly overhead, and the elevator door is heard frequently. At night, sounds which were once peaceful turn unpleasant. The church bell that strikes at midnight awakens Carol from her sleep, it becomes louder and louder as if taunting her when suddenly everything goes silent. The silence encourages viewers to listen closely. Helen’s moans and breaths are softly hear across the room but like the church bells, they intensify and mock…

    "Romeo and Juliet" revolves around two lovers whose love is destined for tragedy. In the Play "Romeo and Juliet", Act 2 Scene 3, Shakespeare demonstrates Romeo's impetuous, shallow and stubborn nature. These character flaws eventually lead to his tragic death and to the death of his love, Juliet. This can by shown in the passage of the Friar rebuking Romeo for his shallowness, and in the passage of the Friar ridiculing Romeo for his impulsive and stubborn act of desiring to wed Juliet, while knowing that their families will not permit their marriage.…

    Another effective foreshadowed example in this story is when the ibis dies alone, helpless, and in discomfort, it foreshadows that will later on happen to Doodle. Also, it effects the overall story and theme, from contentment and hope, to regret and mourning. In addition, in this book the author uses foreshadowing by using the setting. Hurst takes gloomy and dangerous weather to use to foreshadow a fearful event, which is Doodle’s death. Another example of foreshadowing is shown in the story “The Cask of Amontillado”. In the short story, there is a line that says, “And I toast to your long life” (Poe 235). This foreshadows the death of Fortunato, because it says how Montresor wants revenge on Fortunato and he later on kills him. Furthermore, the author uses foreshadowing by using a moment of enjoyment and allows Poe to add in a line of foreshadowing. While reading, it is hard to expect the foreshadowing because they are having a toast, but while Montresor and Fortunato are having a toast, Montresor’s toast foreshadows his enemy’s death. From this line, it is effective to the story, because it gives the reader an idea of what Montresor’s revenge will be and how…

    In (pg : ) it states that the old man was yelling louder and the sound might be heard by a neighbor. This makes the story suspenseful and makes the reader want to know more about the neighbors hearing the sounds of the old man yelling. Therefore another example is in (pg : ) the police came into the old man's house because of the neighbors hearing the yelling from the old man. This really makes the reader anxious of knowing what's going to happen and the fear of the murderer getting…

    Foreshadowing or first obstacle helps to identify, or gives a hint (idea) of what the problem of the story is. Paolo Coelho has several foreshadowing events in the Alchemist; for example, the scene in which Santiago relates his dream to the gypsy, regarding the Egyptian pyramids. The dream itself is an indication of a foreshadowing event. It indicates the events that eventually will occur through the book, ‘’gives a taste of the problem ‘’.…

    Sound and the Fury

    The theme of loss is present always in The Sound and the Fury. On page 42 Bloom states that in The Sound and the Fury there is a loss of innocence in the main characters. Such as Caddy Compson and her virginity, Benjy Compson's castration, and all the Compson children growing up into a new generation.. Also with this "there becomes an opposition between an older and newer culture, and facing the impossibility of choosing between them"(Hoffman 189). With that in mind the novel can also be interpreted as the fall of the old south compared to the downfall of the Compson family (Lowan 66). Another oddity about The Sound and the Fury is the fact that "death is signified by mud which is associated with Damuddy's death"(Polk 41).…

    An example of this is the mansion. The narrator notices a small crack in the house. He defines this as a crack in the building, but also in the family. This foreshadows that something is coming along to make the house and the family 'fall.' Another way foreshadowing takes place in setting is the time of year. ''The Fall of the House of Usher'' takes place in autumn. Autumn is used to symbolize that death is around the corner. This type of symbolism is also used on the night when Roderick's mind is finally on its last string. There is a storm outside, which also symbolizes that something bad is going to happen. In this story Poe used enough information to clue the reader in on what was going to happen, but not enough to give it all…
