With reference to the lines within the painting, every figure within the painting, including all of the ghosts that float in from heaven, are well carved. The lines are harsh

“. A thing was crawling out of the forest. It came darkly, uncertainly. The shrill screaming that rose before the beast was like a pain. The beast stumbled into the horseshoe. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!...”There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws. ...The water bounded from the mountain-top, tore leaves and branches from the trees, poured like a cold shower over the struggling heap on the sand. Presently the heap broke up and figures staggered away. Only the beast lay still, a few yards from the sea. Even in the rain they could see how small a beast it was; and already its blood was staining the sand.... Simon’s dead body moved out toward the open sea.” (Golding 152-154)

Death is more of the person in image one based off of the context clues from the novel. He states specifically “Even death has a heart”, and in the image the background shows a relaxing type of horizon instead of the eerie, scary factor the others have. Another thing that was noticed is in the photos 2 and 3, the picture of death is portrayed as holding a scythe and in the novel Death says when describing his image that he didn’t own a scythe and only wore a cloak when it was cold. The 1st Death image is holding a flag, which could stand for his mutuality in life as a whole. In comparison, some characteristics of the second image may a person in the mindset of the narrator.

At first glance, the comment that "Hundreds of trees slip past him into darkness," seems to be a play with figurative language, but in actuality it is a sad reality for the beast. There are several other examples throughout the poem that could be dubbed as being occurrences of figurative language, but each example is a reality for this horse. The "heavy dark" can only be imagined by the rider, and must be remembered at all times. The horse, on the other hand, will always have the shadow of darkness hanging over him. These ambiguous attempts are made by a visually able man and therefore seem unreal. But is there any better way to describe blindness?

The scroll appears to consist of neutral brown and grey hues, with very thin black line work. The colors may have been brighter in the past, but the paper became considerably weathered with age. One scene in particular from this piece depicts people going about their daily lives, using the outdoors as a place to relieve themselves. All of the human figures in this piece appear to be focused and unfazed by what is happening around them. The corrupt figures known as the “hungry ghosts” live among these people in an alternate world where they suffer eternally. As punishment for crimes or wrongdoings they had committed in their lives, they were sent to a strange purgatory, similar to hell on earth, and reincarnated as semi-functional beings. To make the punishment more severe, they must feed on human waste while they endure the excruciating pain from starvation and thirst. “The abominable group of famished devils, their hands and feet thin, like dead branches, bellies strangely swelling, hair growing disheveled, and uncanny eyes shining in vain, cannot fill themselves” (Imamura 221). Their deathly, bony appearance is a frightful sight, but the humans do not appear to notice or care that they are playfully, almost skillfully, finding ways to tease them and retrieve their

Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals;[a] and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked,

Lastly, another horn blasted out. This time the horse was a dilapidated sickly green horse. The rider appeared in a black cloak with a large cowl so that his entire face was hidden. He carried with him a large scythe. He was to spread death to every being who crossed his path in his allotted section of the earth.

“Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?” Ezekiel 18:23

The Seventh Seal, released in 1957, is a Swedish film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. The film follows the journeys of a knight, Antonius Block, and his squire, Jöns, returning home from the Crusades during the peak of the Black Death. In the opening scenes, as well as closing scenes, of the film, a biblical passage from Revelation from which the film gains its title: “And when the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was in heaven a silence for about the space of half an hour. And when the seven angels who had the seventh trumpets prepared themselves to sound.” (Revelations 8:1-2) Although the verse refers to silence in heaven, one of the major themes of the film seems to be the silence of God—here on earth.

Lastly, after much observation, I think this painting has close relations with Religion and Death. The Crucifix and the Skull known as symbol of death suggests how death is inevitable for human beings. It indicates the hidden yet truthful realization of human mortality. Whilst the ambassadors stand there proudly amid their tools of knowledge, death is constantly there. No matter how advance science is, death is inevitable.

Anderson and Freedman says that Chapter 4 and 5 are called the "unit of Book of Visions." "The first item in the Book of Visions is an apocalypse, a vision of the end and consummation of history." Based on the understanding of the latter days in verse 4:1 that denote the final period of history and is not a technical expression for the end of history, I do not agree that this passage can be treated as an apocalypse. Ben Zvi says that "some have claimed that 4:1-4 reflects (post monarchic) temple liturgies, and particularly those associated with the dedication of the (second) temple." Allen maintains that 4:1-5 is a poem "closely connected with the cultic traditions attested in the hymnbook" but associates with times earlier than the historical
