The problem that faced Baz Luhrmann when he was
directing the new version of Romeo and Juliet was
that he didn´ t know whether there would be
an audience for Shakespearean stories in a modern
culture. So Luhrmann didn´ t make this film
with the old-fashioned, Shakespeare purist in
mind. Instead, by using lively, modern images
(swimming pool etc. ) with a modern rock
soundtrack and young good-looking popular actors,
he has taken Romeo and Juliet to an audience that
would normally thin...

People Of Boston Hester Prynne

Symbolism is traditionally a sign or token of
something. In the matter of literature, the
definition of the literary device, symbolism, is
more complicated. Symbols of literature are
usually metaphysical. The main symbol of The
Scarlet Letter is the red A that Hester Prynne was
sentenced to wear on her chest. Nathaniel
Hawthorne's intention was to make the meaning of
the crimson token worn on the bosom of Hester
Prynne is highly ambiguous. In this he was
successful. Although the A means adultere...

unwilling to embarrass people with what he claimed
was a non-issue. But what we get here is
sexuality, not sex life; for all his openness, the
book is remarkably discreet, mentioning only two
