Alienation In Modern Society
1,280 words
I will compare and contrast Mike Newell's Dance
with a Stranger and Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave in

choice is that these two films have explicit
characteristics in the frame of alienation. Both
highlight modern alienation in terms of alienated
sexuality, isolation, normlessness whereas Newell
discusses alienation also in class and gender
difference perspective; Boyle discusses alienation
in the working place as an alienated labour. To
begin with, when ...

demonstrates these sexual themes relating to both
sexes. Unlike in her other novels, both the men
and women are "searching for love, for valid
sexual encounters, and above all, for a sense that
they are worthy. " (Bakerman 318) While Song of
Solomon gives men a more prominent place, Morrison
also shows the desires of women to break away from
established society and to create an
individualistic life. Pilate is one of the most

Problem of Genre in Drama When a reader thinks of
a play that has been labeled a comedy he thinks of
light-hearted and happy plots. The reader would
not think of family tension, arguments or even
perversion. The genre of comedy takes on the
responsibility of making the audience laugh and
walk away from the production with a satisfied
feeling. But when comedy is subverted by tragedy
the reader or audience leaves the production
wondering if what they just experienced was
correct. The play The Home...
