Isolation is also there when Keckwick leaves Arthur alone in Eel Marsh House. He says that he feels “alone‚ outside that gaunt‚ empty house”. This tells us that Arthur is alone in the house‚ without protection and he ‘predicts’ that he will see the Woman in Black soon. Another time where we feel isolation is when Arthur is alone at the house and he is so scared that he starts to pray. I think that he prays because he is looking for protection and somebody to talk in God. Mrs Drablow also creates a sense

I saw that it was quite dark but once my eyes were fully focused I saw the moonlight coming in through the windows‚ for I had left the rather heavy‚ thick-looking curtains undrawn and the window slightly ajar. The moon fell upon the embroidered counterpane and on

I am deeply interested in why Black women are received and portrayed as both “angry” and “strong” Black Women. It may seem inexplicable that a respected black woman educator would stamp her foot‚ jab her finger in someone’s face and scream while trying to make a point on national television‚ thereby reconfirming the notation that black women are irrationally angry. When confronted about race and gender‚ as a black woman I stand in a crooked room. I have to figure out which way is up. Bombarded

Black Slaves and Religion One of the first things that attracted the African American slaves to Christianity was a way of obtaining the salvation of theirs souls based on the Christian’s idea of a future reward in heaven or punishment in hell‚ which did not exist in their primary religion. The religious principles inherited from Africa sought purely physical salvation and excluded the salvation of the soul. However‚ they did believe in one supreme God‚ which made it easier for them to assimilate
