Fear In The Hound Of The Baskervilles

Fear is a powerful human emotion. It can make you do things you wouldn’t normally do, like risk taking and bad choices. Fear can spike your adrenaline. For example if someone was to lift a car off a run over child, that would be caused by adrenaline, which is caused by fear. According to several studies done by physicians

The book and movie Jumanji is fearful. The tone of the movie is fearful. Three reasons why the book,and the movie is fearful because a lion appears and starts growling and scares everyone,and then monkeys appear and start destroying the kitchen,and Rhinos stampede through the room and scares everyone. First,something that happened in the movie that was fearful was Allen got sucked into the gameboard.

Hysteria and Fear The rise of hysteria and fear seems to build and evolve and it has a huge impact on the way things are viewed in the world today. The relevance of the theme hysteria in The Crucible does relate to modern society in different ways. In the crucible mass hysteria can have a massive impact on any community and the results can be devastating.

This excerpt from "The Crucible", written by Arthur Miller demonstrates how fear can overwhelm people in different ways and shows how strong an individual must be to deal with this fear. Although people in this society may appear strong and claim that they oppose the devil, everyone is weakened by human instincts which forces some people to yield to the devil's commands. "The boot of Lucifer" haunts everyone in the court room and forces even the strongest of men to face their ignorance. This scene is particularly powerful because it describes how Proctor is completely overwhelmed with fear and frustration with the court to a point where he "laughs insanely". Proctor has reached a point of insanity and can no longer bear the weight of the burden he brought

Fear in Beast of The Southern Wild Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Fear is applied through every film which helps with the conflict. Director Benh Zeitlin, in the film Beast of The Southern Wild, uses narrative, cinematography, and sound to create a visual scary and mythos of the beast so called aurochs as in Hushpuppy fear. Narrative plays a big role in Beast of the Southern Wild.

Fear can change anyone and manipulate them to do things they wouldn’t normally do. In both The Crucible and The Village fear is used to twist people’s minds and change their way of thinking. Outside of literature it happens in real life when the Nazis used propaganda to manipulate people’s opinions of Jewish people and other ethnicities. In The Crucible the courts use hanging as a threat to get people to confess to or accuse other people of witchcraft. On the other hand in The Village the elders use a farce story that there is creatures in the woods that would kill you if you went into the woods.

My grandma once told me, “If you stay up too late at night, the boogeyman will get you”. I never believed her but I knew I wouldn’t want to see the Boogeyman if he actually existed. Most people would actually want to watch these horrible beings. In this case, they would want to view a horror movie such as “Friday the 13” or “Nightmare on Elm Street”. It is part of our Human Condition to be attracted to the films and asking for more. Stephen King’s claims in “Why we crave horror” asserts us that humans crave horror to face our fears, to re-establish our feelings of normalcy, and to experience a peculiar sort of fun.

Sue Miley once said, “When we combine choices with fear, we suddenly become overwhelmed and paralyzed” (Miley). Fear is a powerful emotion that can heavily impact one’s decision whether it be for the good or bad. In The Crucible, many important decisions are made and fear is heavily involved in many of those decisions. A research question to be examined is, to what degree can we attribute the events of the Salem Witch Trials as illustrated in The Crucible to fear?

My theme was fear. Fear is constantly involved with everyone everyday.It can be from having a fear of heights or fear of failing a test. Fear impacts in society because everyone fears of something.For example, one of the biggest fears in this world currently is the presidency of Donald Trump. Many people of the United States especially immigrants fear that Donald Trump isn’t going to treat them fairly. The immigrants show how scared they are and how their lives are about to change because of Donald Trump. They show their fears throughout social media, the news, and even in public protest. They fear of the outcome of Donald Trump. Fear has contributed in this world through many occasions and people have learned how to deal with it.

In the book The Hound of the Baskervilles, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are helping Sir Henry Baskerville. There will be lots of fears and they will solve the mystery of the ghastly hound that has terrorized the Baskervilles for years. Throughout Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, the book develops the theme “don’t be ruled by fear,” by showing that the people fear the Hound of the Baskervilles and the dangers on the moor.

What is the driving force for humanity to form civilizations and live in homes? Is it to have a protective structure from the wild? Why do humans act the way they do? Human nature is a natural response to the fear that guides humanity to form the societies we see today. Fear can be defined as an emotional response to possibility of being in danger or being anxious. Thus, the fear of being unprotected from the weather, wild animals or insects, and people we are unfamiliar with has led societies to be built. In the Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls tells a different story of her untraditional upbringing. Jeannette Walls uses events in her past that exemplify this fear to pivot the narrative and keep the reader’s attention.

The Fear was the name of my book. The characters are Dognut, Al, Courtney, Ed Carter, Felix, Finn, Jessica, Jordan Hordern, Kyle, Leo, Marco, and Olivia Channing. After they take a boat and row upriver, they end up at the Houses of Parliament where they find a girl named Nicola keeping order of her group. She tells them that his friends aren’t there but saw them head towards David King at Buckingham Palace. The crew is attacked by a horde sickos/zombies that are called “ Gym Bunnies” who most likely had worked out before the virus turned them so these sickos are much stronger, faster, and harder to kill than normal sickos.

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

Life is full of discomfort. Each individual adapts to these challenges differently, growing and evolving into beautifully unique and complex human beings all across the world. However, for some, that process of development is the very thing they fear - the root of the discomfort that in anyone else would push them to develop. J.D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye follows Holden Caulfield, a protagonist who finds it increasingly difficult to come to terms with the necessity of change in his own life. Struggling to realise his identity, Holden clings to who he was as a child, and idealises youth in a way that leaves him deeply unsettled by change and the idea of maturity.

In The Crucible characters would continuously not tell the truth under certain circumstances. Why is that? For example in The Crucible when Tituba was asked, “When did you compact with the Devil” (Miller 41), by Rev. Hale. Then Tituba replied, “I do not compact with no Devil” (Miller 42). After Tituba denied compacting with the Devil she then was threatened to be whipped and hanged. After those threats Tituba then said, “I tell him I don’t desire to work for him, sir” (Miller 42). Is it not a coincidence that Tituba acknowledges that she had communicated with the devil after she was threatened? This is an example of how fear can impact your decision making and can affect a person mentally and physically. There are many other examples of fear based decisions like, in Act 1 when Abigail Williams tries to cover up what her and her friends did in the forest and in Act 3 when Mary Warren cracks under the pressure of what John Proctor wanted her to do. To conclude my question, why do people act certain ways when fear is present?
