Compare And Contrast Rose Red And Haunting Of Hill House

In “Battle Royal” by Ralph Ellison and “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner each author gives their own views and opinions of the south, but each story has different perspective of the southern conduct shown by literary elements. The point of view of each story is the same and they have similar attributes which aides in the main character’s development, but each story has a deeper connection to it. The setting of both stories is set in the deep southern region in between the 1930’s and 1940’s while slavery was still very popular, but it aides in the development of each character’s background and trials. Symbolism is used in each story to demonstrate how each protagonist is deeply connected to the south. Ellison and Faulkner both used each of these literary elements to tie the south to the protagonists.

The Haunting of Hill House is a book about four people that all have backgrounds of experiencing supernatural events. Because of this, they were all chosen to explore the supernatural happenings occurring at Hill House. The house was originally built by a man named Hugh Crain. It had been a place of mysterious events and also the deaths of those who lived there. Dr. Montague, a supernatural investigator, then carefully selected three people with paranormal backgrounds, and invited them to explore the occurrences at the house.

Since the beginning of time, women have been treated as second class citizens. Therefore, women were forced to face many problems. Because of this women were repressed. At that time, the Napoleonic Code stated that women were controlled by their husbands and cannot freely do their own will without the authority of their husband. This paper shows how this is evident in the "Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin and " A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. In both stories, the use of literary elements such as foreshadowing, symbolism, and significant meaning of the titles are essential in bringing the reader to an unexpected and ironic conclusion.

This is very specific foreshadowing, because in the end of the story, all five on the trip die, and it seems that will lead to the end of their family line.

The brother and sister share closer relationships than they should , and their houses somewhat represent the lives they live. With both stories having an unexplainable ending , such as why the house crumbled at the end of “Fall of the House of Usher”

To conclude, these are the four loneliest characters in the novel. They all have similarities in terms of dreams and loneliness however in the story the characters do not notice this but the reader almost classifies these characters as an outsiders group. Their characters show how having big dreams and high aspirations can make you lonelier. We can also see how the views of society affect loneliness such as the acceptance of racism and sexism in this time period as well as the fact that every man was for himself so there

Little red riding hood is about a girl on a trip to her sick grandmother’s house but she had met a wolf on her way there. There are many different versions of this story, the Perrault version and Grimm version. There was also a parody of Little Red Riding Hood called Hoodwinked!. In all of the stories they all start with a mother giving something to give to her daughter. For her daughter to travel into the forest to give her grandmother what her mother had made.

If only one perspective was used to tell this story, then this theme would be completely lost, no matter which character you choose, as the novel is full of dramatic irony. Though the characters in the story don 't realize their connections, the readers do. The text reveals that even characters who never come to meet, such as Blaine (an ignorant painter) and Solomon (a grieving New York City judge), can change each other’s lives in significant ways. Without these multiple perspectives, this main theme would be lost, as the readers would have no greater knowledge than that given by a single character.

Killings and A Rose for Emily were both stories that used love as an excuse for violence. In A Rose for Emily, she killed a man because she loved him and didn’t want to lose him. Matt, in Killings, killed his son’s murder; Matt’s wife had to face her son’s murder daily. Matt decided he loved his wife enough to kill that man.

The rest of the family is somewhat boring and annoying like the two young kids Wesley and June. The way the author uses functions to portray images allows the audience to imagine and picture what it is she is trying

There were many things about the house that I absolutely hated. First, the roses painted on the ceiling that my sister and I shared. At night, in the dark the flowers glowed looking like tiny eyes always watching us. We wanted to paint over the flowers, get rid of them, but we didn’t live there all that long so we never got the chance. The last thing about the house that we hated was that behind the house there was an old radio tower. My siblings and I thought that the radio building was haunted by a ghost, or some sort of evil witch. Once we walked up the hill that was home to the tower, as we neared the top the metal door on the building swung open. We were so scared, we ran down the hill to our house. We told our parents what happened but they didn't believe us. The next day we went back to the tower and the door was closed again, after that we never went up to the tower again. We were terrified and believed that it was haunted and afraid that the ghost who lived there would attack us.

The second character is Billy Holcombe. Billy and his wife have the same problems as Will and his wife had. Amy and Billy never

In "A Rose for Emily" and "Barn Burning," William Faulkner creates two characters worthy of comparison. Emily Grierson, a recluse from Jefferson, Mississippi, is an important figure in the town, despite spending most of her life in seclusion. On the contrary, Abner Snopes is a loud, fiery-tempered man that most people tend to avoid. If these characters are judged by reputation and outward appearance only, the conclusion would be that Emily Grierson and Abner Snopes are complete opposites. However, despite the external differences, these two characters have surprisingly similar personalities.
