more emphasis on Mr Ripley’s thought process. Recently I watched The Talented Mr. Ripley. I believe the film’s purpose was to entertain and keep the viewer involved‚ and it did a great job of doing so. You have no idea what is going to happen next and the plot‚ which was very vivid and alive‚ keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entirety of the film. Despite an exciting plot‚ this film wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be because it needed more emphasis on Mr Ripley’s thought

Socialist playwright‚ George Bernard Shaw wrote the highly controversial play‚ Mrs. Warren ’s Profession. The play was censored and it would take eight years‚ before it was finally produced in London in 1902 for private performance.

Highsmith utilises a variety of literary techniques to assist in centralising the prominent theme of isolation throughout the novel.

One critic argues of Mrs. Warrens Profession that ‘the men are ineffectual or immoral monsters – it is women who carry the play.’ In the light of this view‚ compare and contrast the presentation of men in Mrs. Warrens Profession and An Ideal Husband. Victorian society was almost completely governed by rich‚ aristocratic and immoral men‚ this description forms the central concept for Shaw’s play. He portrays men as immoral and sexually corrupt through his satirisation of the church and the aristocracy
