During my research‚ I found that ‘In Cold Blood’ was far from “immaculately factual”‚ as Truman Capote claims it to be. Firstly‚ in an interview with George Plimpton in 1966‚ Capote describes how he managed to input his opinions into the novel‚ without interrupting the novel. He explains that by qualifying a statement he disagrees with‚ he can convince a reader of his own opinions. Secondly‚ Capote refused to use a tape recorder. Although he claimed to be 94% accurate at remembering interviews‚ he

However‚ although we are encouraged by language‚ and the other characters to view Caliban as terrible‚ we do in fact reserve or judgment as we can sympathise with him; like the colonized people‚ Caliban is treated like a slave and although some of his actions may be terrible‚ we can deduce some reason behind them. Even before we meet Caliban on the set‚ we are given background information on him which

Throughout Romeo and Juliet loss is abound‚ making the text relatable for modern and contemporary audiences. Loss is an ineluctable part of human life allowing audiences from any era to be able to sympathise with the characters and connect with them. Many people share the view that lord Capulet cared little for his daughter‚ not unusual In Elizabethan times‚ but I feel there is much evidence to the contrary‚ lord Capulet‚ loved his "only child"‚ Juliet. PROLOGUE Juliet’s supposed death evoked intense

Mercy‚ or‚ we may rather say‚ the world’s heavy hand had so ordained her‚ when neither the world nor she looked forward to this result. The letter was the symbol of her calling. Such helpfulness was found in her—so much power to do‚ and power to sympathise—that many people refused to interpret the scarlet A by its original signification. They said that it meant Able‚ so strong was Hester Prynne‚ with a woman’s strength.” (149) By standing for herself and showing the townspeople that she was actually

Marie Antoinette‚ the 2006 film‚ is a great example of popular history and its techniques to provoke interest. Popular history is the genre of history with its main motive to entertain rather than inform. The director‚ Sofia Coppola has lost the historical integrity of the film‚ replacing it with what would make Marie Antoinette most engaging for entertainment rather than portraying the real events. In order to entertain the audience‚ Sofia Coppola decided to over exaggerate‚ a technique that popular

This provokes the audience to perceive Cassius as the jealous villain fuelled by his own lack of success‚ and sympathise with Caesar. Furthermore‚ Julius’ arrogance and flaws are brought to light by Flavius‚ whom Shakespeare uses bird imagery to allude to the Greek myth of Icarus. His dialogue states that his “growing feathers” should be “plucked from Caesar’s wing”

the novel‚ however starts with the protagonist Pip‚ in chapter I. In chapter I you are introduced to Pip; he is an orphan and all of his family are dead except for his elder sister who is his guardian. From the first page the reader immediately sympathises with Pip as he is a young‚ uneducated vulnerable boy alone in an exposed environment‚ with ‘dykes and mounds’‚ where ‘the wind was rushing’ and he was ‘growing afraid’ which ultimately left him ‘beginning to cry’.

that it is possible to feel a small amount of sympathy towards Aeneas‚ however it is clear that this sympathy cannot extend as far as with Turnus. Virgil definitely wants his readers to sympathise with Turnus‚ at least to some extent. Throughout Book 12‚ it is considerably easier for us as the reader to sympathise with this heroic character. Virgil portrays Turnus as a rather helpless character for much of the final book of the Aeneid. For example‚ we cannot help but feel empathy and sympathy for
