    The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is an adventurous novel about Sir Percy Blakeney, a wealthy Englishman who disguised himself under the false pretence of The Scarlet Pimpernel, a brave and clever man who used preposterous disguises to free innocent French aristocrats that had been convicted and were waiting to be put to death under the wrath of Madame Guillotine. Sir Blakeney was married to Marguerite St. Just, known to be the most beautiful and smartest women in Europe, but in France she was considered a traitor for revealing the Marquis de St. Cyr and his whole family to the bloody guillotine to help her brother Armand get revenge for almost being killed for loving the daughter of an aristocrat. This act of hers disgusted Blakeney, who started showing no love for her even though he would have done anything for her. Although Marguerite still loved her dear Percy, she couldn’t help feeling that he was a pompous jerk. Sir Blakeney’s arch-nemesis Monsieur Chauvelin struck a deal with Marguerite in her assistance to capture the Scarlet Pimpernel and his league in return for her brother’s safe release, as Chauvelin had captured him. Soon after, she realized what a horrible thing she had done and repents to Sir Blakeney, disclosing all the information she knows about Chauvelin’s plan. Sir Blakeney promised to protect Armand and stop Chauvelin by sailing to France. After he had left, Marguerite found several letters in his room stamped with the Scarlet Pimpernel. She realized that he is the Scarlet Pimpernel and enlisted the help of Sir Andrew Ffoulkes. They sailed to Calais as fast as they could in an attempt to warn Sir Blakeney that Chauvelin knew his identity. Their attempt was in vein, but Sir Blakeney was clever enough to figure out what was in store for him. He escaped Chauvelin’s trap and released Armand, revealing Chauvelin as a cruel man and casting a shadow over his name and condemning him to the guillotine. The Scarlet Pimpernel is a story of…

    Influence is the capacity or power of persons to produce an effect on the actions of others. Victor Flemming, the director of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, depicts a message that revolves around the reversal of power and gender roles. Moreover, Dorothy is a child in her physical presence but lives the role of a hero as she leads the scarecrow, lion, and tin man to the Wizard himself. Through the archetypes such as the hero being a women, Cultural values, and the stages of the journey, Flemming raises the argument that in this case those who don 't have much influence in society are very influential in the Emerald City.…

    Pride and Prejudice

    Pride and Prejudice is known to hold one of the most perfect love stories in English literature. The struggle for love between Darcy and Elizabeth, as in any good love story is one where the two must get away from and overcome a number of situations before they can, beginning with the tensions caused by their own personal qualities. Joe Wright (the producer of the film) makes us see the hardship their love endures throughout the movie with camera angles changing and music setting the type of mood, such as the very first time they dance and everything is tensed up until the rest of the people in the room seem to disappear and it is only Darcy and Elizabeth left dancing which then frees them up. He aims to portray the way people lived in their hierarchy and what people thought of others and he shows how one class would look upon another.…

    Jane Austen introduces the theme of marriage in the opening sentence, “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” (1). Austen admonished this reasoning and believed that one should only marry for love. She believed that marriage should not occur on the grounds of superficial feelings, pressures to marry, or wealth and social status. It is love, and only this, which enable the characters of the novel to be happily married.…

    The title of a literary work often reveals its significance as the story unfolds. While reason behind some titles are obvious, other novels require extensive in depth analysis to truly understand the meaning behind the title. Jane Austen 's Pride and Prejudice certainly falls into the latter. Many scholars have conflicting views of the meaning behind Pride and Prejudice, leading to a great deal of scholarly debate. In particular, Robert Fox and D.J. Dooley have opposite interpretations of the title, revolving around the idea of prejudice versus vanity. Although Robert Fox sees the title of Pride and Prejudice merely as Jane Austen 's fall back plan of alliteration and antithesis, I agree with D.J. Dooley 's analysis of the title, stating that it refers to the two prevalent flaws of the main characters.…
