To What Extent Does Patrick Suskind Develop Grenouille's Character Throughout the Novel Through the Description of Scents?

In “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Scarlet Ibis” dark symbols and tones shape the plot, which allows man’s inhumanity to man, as a theme, to be expected. Both authors use imagery to allow readers to paint a picture of each setting in their mind. Also, each author adds in many symbols to make a concrete object into an abstract idea. In “The Cask of Amontillado” written by Edgar Allan Poe and “The Scarlet Ibis” written by James Hurst symbols, imagery, and the theme of man’s inhumanity to man are used to uniquely explain each story line.

Giorgio Armani is an Italian fashion house that manufactures and designs haute couture. Such luxurious and high fashions are visibly seen through their advertisements such as their “Armani Code” fragrance. In the Giorgio Armani ad, audiences can see the similarity in the different fragrance ads for men and women such as the same models but in different positions. However, one could see the difference in choice of audiences by closely analyzing the visual and rhetorical appeals. Both the Giorgio Armani advertisements, “Armani Code” for men and “Armani Code” for women look very similar in retrospect due to the intimate and sexual appeal they exude. However, by analyzing visual and rhetorical appeals, one could clearly see the distinct difference in choice of audiences despite selling the same product which is the fragrance. The fragrance for women aims to sell their product to adult females in the middle and upper class. The fragrance for men however, directs their ad towards adult males in the middle and upper

Unnerving, spooky, disturbing, frightful… All common characteristics of a hauntingly terrific tale by the famous Edgar Allan Poe. His story “The Masque of the Red Death” brought a grotesque taste to the horror genre throughout the 19th century with the use of literary devices. To summarize, Poe’s story discussed, in detail, the horrifying inevitability of death, which reveal the value of a device known as symbolism used by Poe in this literary work. As people are familiar with, Poe’s psychological weaknesses spurred his creativity to which he poured his problems into Gothic Literature, and he produced these unforeseen symbols as pawns of his life. In this popular short story, subtle objects are manipulated to reflect Edgar Allan Poe’s misfortunes. Symbolism is used throughout his short years of living as a narrative device for his eerie publications. Within this composition, I will be justifying how Poe’s influence on the use of symbolism constructed a disturbed and almost misleading

“So it goes with me day by day and age by age, I tell myself. Locked in the deadly progression of moon and stars. I shake my head, muttering darkly on shaded paths, holding conversation with the only friend and comfort this world offers, my shadow.” (Gardener 8)

As the story continues, we begin see and smell the world through Grenouille and somewhat adapt to his unnatural personality. Whatever attachment the reader has with Grenouille at this point is suddenly crippled when he commits his first murder. Although a point of view is given through the victim’s senses as well as Grenouille’s, there is a sudden shock to the discovery his deadly intentions, which up until now no one, not even himself, thought he was capable of: “he did not look at her, did not see her delicate, freckled face, her red lips, her large sparkling green eyes, keeping his eyes closed tight as he strangled her, for he had only one concern—not to lose the least trace of her scent” (42, Ch. 8). By painting a vivid picture of a beautiful innocent girl that Grenouille could not see (as he was closing his eyes), the narrator leaves readers with only feelings of disgust towards Grenouille and his selfish, cold-blooded thirst for scent. This situation could only been sufficiently told through the narrative mode used, and now readers begin to lose all sympathy towards

The wafting of the “hot straw smell of lion grass”, “great rusty smell of animals”, “the smell of dust like a red paprika in the hot air” all of these descriptions of the smell kind of make us aware about how uncomfortable and bad the smell in the nursery was. Also the mention of “papery rustling of vultures” makes us aware of the and highlights the fact that some animal has been killed. Now a child of ten cannot and should not have thoughts of death and killing animals. Yet the veldt shows the picture of the same. The author with this description I feel tries to fore warn us about how these children are different thinking things they should

“For me, love is the most important force. It moves the universe.” With diligent care and effective techniques, Laura Esquivel expresses this belief about love in her novel Like Water For Chocolate. Rather than bluntly giving her audience a direct assertion on the topic of romance, Esquivel spends a great deal of time using the strategy of symbolism. The reader can distinguish thematic developments and vital representations hidden in various images throughout the plot. Symbolism allows an audience to each have a distinctive experience reading a novel. Understanding this concept, Esquivel successfully uses thermal sensations and the color white to indicate the subject of intimacy in her writing. She utilizes the images of heat and white hues

The imagery used in this passage creates a disturbing and secretive tone to imply Holmes murderous actions. Larson’s use of senses such as “chemical odors” depicts a laboratory and creates an image of a devious mad scientist. This gives the reader a nonreassuring aspect due to the murders that are being commenced. Moreover, the image of “a caustic scent” and “silvery medicinal odor” also gives the reader chills and a feeling of illegal actions. The effects of these senses create an ominous atmosphere and grows even more frightening when the victim is eased into “deep

T.C Boyle does a great job using figurative language in The Tortilla Curtain to make the book easier to understand and to reveal elements. Figurative language is used to create a comparison to help readers connect better with what the author is saying. Doing this makes stories pull the readers in and creates a better understanding. “… Her nose as keen as a connoisseur” (73). Boyle is very talented with similes and figurative language. “Her nose as keen as a connoisseurs” is a great example of simile. Boyle is comparing Kyra’s nose to a connoisseur, which is a word for expert. Making this comparison shows that Kyra’s sense of smell is the best of the best and she can whiff out any smell or odor. The fact that Kyra can
