Analysis Of The Book ' Kezia '

Throughout the novel, Pedro Paramo, the author Juan Rulfo uses imagery, conflict, foreshadowing and juxtaposition to comment on the corruption of organized religion in the world, particularly the Catholic Church. The small village where the novel is set, has become a prison for the souls who remain and the local Priest abuses his position of authority to decide who will be blessed and be released. The author juxtaposes the terrible surroundings and actions of the townspeople with the purity of the religion they believe in. The people of the town are betrayed by the one they are supposed to idolize most, sin most egregiously and yet, even when they know that they are damned to eternity, they continue to rely on their religion for salvation.

A criminal case despite its time period can shock the nation by involving controversial ideas and ideological debates. Although many people might not recall the Angelina Napolitano’s case of 1911, her case became an international sensation in the public arena bringing advocates of every form including race, motherhood and gender. However, in the eyes of the court Napolitano’s case was closed immediately with a guilty sentence to death by hanging. The authors of the case analysis not only wanted to explore the details of the crime but to highlight the profound post-trial reactions. There were many debates on the fairness of her sentence with supporters in Italian communities and women organizations around the world (Dubinsky and Iacovetta 516). The current case analysis will describe the events of the crime and the

By simply reading the title of the chapter “The Man I Killed,” the reader can already tell that the title is more of a confession, especially when taking into account that the previous chapter was named “Church” and with it only being a variation of the phrase ‘I killed a man’ which can also be interpreted as a claim now that the variation has been pointed out. The overall theme that this text hints at is being frozen in time. This is evident because

Josephine Tey’s Daughter of Time is a story that gives the reader a role in being a detective, filling in Sherlock Holmes 's shoes but with a twist. Within the first few chapters we meet Alan Grant, a famous inspector from England 's Scotland Yard. He is confined in a hospital after sustaining an injury, leaving him immensely bored during his recovery there. Where he would trace and map out ceiling cracks for hours; after awhile he became acquainted with the nurses that would come in and out of his room. His actress friend Marta brings printed materials for Grant to read but he would reject them, the reason is not known. His antsy behavior shows that he craves a mental challenge. Grant eventually got what he wanted; Marta suggested that he should try solving an old mystery that no one has managed to solve. She brings him pictures, portraits of faces from different historical eras. During his recovery, he spends time analyzing the collection that Marta provides him. It’s clear that Grant adopts Carr’s and Elton’s methodology into solving this case and without either of them it wouldn’t be possible.

He quickly skips over the issues that he sees as minor, such as the Eucharist, confession of sins to priests, charity etc… in order to get to his overarching theme of the importance of the Church

To fully understand the film I had to look back and research the time period of which the story took place. The film is set in 1964, the year after the Kennedy Assassination. It was a time of change, both in society in general and in the church. Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn represent conflicting views on how the church should function. She belongs to a more corporate conservative school of thought, believing the church as separate from society at large and not needed anything to change. He, on the other hand, had a different belief with the changes being after Kennedy death. It’s seems like the problem of the past can resurface in the future. The difference of one opinion can make you hate or dislike

Cleo walked forwards in perfect greeting, her eyes slipped to the body and she froze. She recognized the woman, it was Penelope’s closest acquaintance outside of the Residence. Searching her memory, she found the name Linda Marzipan...I liked her, Cleo remembered her from their brief meeting a few times. This woman was mentioned in passing quite often by Penelope and in more recent weeks, by the other students as well. Cleo wasn’t quite sure how she did it, but this woman could leave an impression on everyone. She always exuded a kind of, clear energy, it seemed wrong for her to leave so soon. A part of Cleo, even in her tired mind was furious with Kasimir. He was like a cancer, you could fight him with everything you had, but there was still a chance he would come back. The Foremen had fought him so hard and in the end he had taken another victim and left even more

Heaving, she flings herself at the mercy of the bed after latching her cell door. The taste of Sébastien's blood lingers in her mouth, metallic and salty, tender are her breasts where the beast has pawed her and she trembles with rage at the recall. “I saw the demon who owns his soul” she whispers, stunned. At the same time, in the parlor, Sébastien heaves uncontrollably. Mad at himself for the reckless action which he has misjudged and was incapable of carrying to its end. As it turns out, the frail, slender and delicate Madonna has surprised him with a speedy and mercurial riposte. What combativeness in this slip of a woman. And, how she deceived him, guarding herself while protecting her Angel from my inquisition. He dreamed of bending this

"It 's a dramatic story, I mean for God 's sake ... the Pope is involved, a curse is involved, there 's a wrongful execution of a teenage boy," he said.”

The poem began with many imageries such as “ …handcuffs on his wrists / …they groan and shake their fists” (1-2) . These imageries create a picture of a trail, and people are really angry towards the sinner,

Though the prioress is a religious figure who is suppose to be practicing moderation, piousness, and charity, she is instead refining behavior that is expected of the courts, which is unnecessary in religious institutions. The extensive description of her elegant attire and courtly manners paints a portrait of excessive pompousness and arrogance. The extravagance of the nun’s clothes also shows that rather than living in humble poverty, the nun is living a lavish life, which portrays her in a corrupt light because she does not abide by the teachings of the convent. The nun further demeans religious codes through her obsession with worldliness. The nun’s boundless love for her dogs, and the tears that she sheds for animals demean the respect and love that she should be directing towards God because she shows that she loves the material more than she does anything else. Her brooch that reads “Amor vincit omnia” (162) is a display of her affection towards worldly material items because her love is imprinted on her brooch instead of being expressed through her actions. The nun’s focus on worldly items reflects the corruption that was overtaking religious institutions as more individuals within it began to incorporate the ambitions and ideals of aristocracy into their religious practices.

The Opus Dei was another secret society, and battle between both.

Murder in the Cathedral was one of the first successful religious plays of the 20th Century (Weintraub). This play, and many others in the time period, shows the effects of World War II and the rising political power in Germany. Murder in the Cathedral shows the struggle of one man’s obligation to religion and defying the many temptations of a political leader. Murder in the Cathedral was influenced by the increasing political ideas in the time period.

The names of the characters play a large role in the story. Some such as Delacroix, are rather obviously religious natures. Others, such as Adams, are a bit more obscure. The Delacroix family has a name that literally means of the cross. The principal Delacroix character, Mrs. Delacroix, appears several times throughout the short story. She functions as a friend to Tessie Hutchinson, the woman ultimately selected for the sacrifice, but turns on her at the end along with the rest of the townspeople. Delacroix is not angry with Hutchinson, but helps kill her because of the tradition. The symbolism here is apparent. The church, usually seen as a positive influence, can sometimes turn on a person in the name of ritual
