Hence all three interpretations are valid and depict Marlow’s symbolic journey through narrative techniques such as frame narrative‚ metaphor‚ symbolism‚ setting and irony.

For my final project I will be doing studies that are derived from Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams. A well know phrase Freud himself coined was that dreams are the “Royal Road to the Unconscious”. Children’s dreams‚ as Freud had put it‚ where easy to understand because they have not built up any defenses or resistances to “mask” the motive behind their dream. Adults however‚ Freud theorized that they expressed unobtainable wishes‚ and being adults have built up a resistance or put a “mask” on making

Interpretations of the text Your work on genre will have raised a number of issues as to just what type of film ’The Kite Runner’ is. One of the genres that we mentioned was the political film. One aspect of the film has to do with terrorism and the consequences of terrorist acts. There is obviously a very timely link here between what we see happening in the film and the current ’war against terrorism’.

Kent tries to convince Lear that
