Stanley Kubrick Stephen Kings
2,491 words
Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980) initially
received quite a bit of negative criticism. The
film irritated many Stephen King fans (and King
himself) because it differed so greatly from the
novel. The Shining also disappointed many film
goers who expected a conventional slasher film.
After all, Kubrick said it would be the scariest
horror movie of all time. 1 Kubrick's films,
however, never fully conform to their respective
genres; they transcend generic expectations. In
the same way that 2001...

Fear in Different Genres Fear is defined as a
condition between anxiety and terror either

it becomes clear that fear is an emotion that the
writer like to heighten not only in the
protagonist, but also in the reader. After reading
great works by people such as George Orwell and
Stephen King, it b...

It appears as if the whole of civilised humanity
were converted to the aesthetics of the dusk of
nations (Max Nordau, 1895). How far and in what
ways is Civilisation under threat in Joseph
Conrad's, Heart of Darkness, (1902), and Robert
Louis Stevenson's, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde, (1886). Civilisation degrades the
many to exalt the few. Amos Bronson Alcott (1)

Bride Comes To Yellow Sky Stephen Cranes

Cranes Use of Ironic Symbolism in The Bride Comes
to Yellow Sky Stephen Cranes The Bride Comes to
Yellow Sky, as well as his other Western stories,
owe much to Mark Twain's approach to the West.
According to Eric Solomon, both authors used humor
to comment on the flaws of traditional fictional
processes (237). While employing parody of the
Western literary tradition, Crane also uses
realism to depict the influence of the East on the
West. In The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, Stephen
Crane uses symb...
