Marianne Williamson Our Greatest Fear Analysis

As represented in Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible, fear played an important role and is exploited by the characters in the play. The Crucible beings with a group of girls accusing people of witchcraft for their selfish benefit.Fear is an emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to inflict pain , or a threat. Fear is an emotion that is capable of overtaking and controlling one’s state of mind and well being. However , fear can be used as a motivation factor. Fear influenced these people to take extreme measures and act irrationally. Additionally, fear is a master of suffering capable of haunting those who patronize it Moreover, in The Crucible this erratic emotion causes people to fear being labeled

Fear can lead to a lot of things, but unfortunately, in humans it usually leads to something bad. Throughout history, fear has lead to some of the most violent actions by man, and some of the biggest collapses of organized society. In early American history, the people of Salem experienced this for themselves. Arthur Miller shows this in his book. The society of Salem that Miller creates in The Crucible shows how fear can slowly cause rational thought to deteriorate, leading to mass hysteria and eventually the breakdown of civilized behavior.

Every single person in this world fears something, and there is magnificent amount of different types of fear that people know of. Each type of fear has a different name. For example, fear of change is called metathesiophobia, and fear of darkness is called Achluophobia. Fear can be not only a phobia but in a novel it can be represented as theme. One of the examples of a novel that has a lot of fear in it is The Chrysalids by John Wyndham which took place in the future, years after a nuclear holocaust has devastated large areas of the world. In that novel Wyndham explores many themes throughout the text, the main one being fear. The existence of fear in this novel is a critical factor in the unfolding of the plot. Most of the problems that occurred in John Wyndham’s tale happen because of fear. Overall, this is shown through everyone’s fear of being different, fear helped to develop Petra’s character, and by everyone thinking that if a baby was born as a blasphemy, the women is always the one who is responsible for that, but never the man.

“The Gift of Fear” is something that all women have. Women can sense danger and they can read body language. This is a “gift” to women. I recall the book stating that men are more violent than women so men really are not afraid of women in that sense. I believe men are afraid that women will laugh at them and women are afraid that men will kill them. The majority of the time, violent acts are very clear warning signs and motivates behind them, this is what women can sense.

The length and width of phrase, its diatonic, chromatic, or intervallic emphasis, the pace and the duration of its separate members, the dynamics---all are the result of the dictation and suggestion of the words.”

The experience of Luo and the narrator in the Balzac novel are vastly different than real prison camps during the Cultural Revolution. In the novel, the leaders are ignorant and the boys easily outsmart them. In real prison camps, the leaders were violent and very strict. The boys also used literature as an escape from their lives, but the books they read were banned and would get people in reeducation killed. Lastly, the boys were able to roam around and had the ability to go wherever they wanted. In reeducation, they were given very little freedom and had a curfew. The experience of the characters in the novel is bearable because the leaders were incompetent and there was no real consequences for their actions. In reeducation, the leaders were violent and everyone was in constant fear.

Could you imagine a world that is run by Nazis who have genetically engineered, powerful anomalies by their side? A fictional novel: The Only thing to Fear, written By Caroline Tung Richmond details what led to Nazi world domination and how a sixteen year old girl named Zara St. James will help the American rebels regain the United States of America. Zara has the support of a Nazi traitor and the entire rebel army so she can reach their collective goal of freedom.

Some specific language features that I used were based off imagery, imperative voice, irony, onomatopoeia, repetition, personification, similes, tone, and word choice. Some my most impactful phrases come from transitional phrases such as, ‘The day had been saved, but little did they know that it had just started‘, ‘But there was no time to talk, another emergency awaited for these two heroes.’ and ‘In the blink of an eye’. The first phrase shows how although the main characters have already completed their first challenge, there are still many to come on their way. The second, and third phrases however, show the limited amount of time, and how quickly they had to arrive to each emergency, allowing the reader to understand the pressure our protagonists were put

On the other hand, more so than the appearance, the psychological horror linked to our innermost fears is essential in establishing a didactic literature.

Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland is “a book about making art.” It breaks down to the reader the long term strategies to becoming an experienced artist as well as the process of developing as an artist and the downfalls that they are faced with. It also covers the fears that the artist will develop. All artists face fears within their progression, the fears that stood out most to me was the fear of the outside world.

Fear is natural, it is part of being human, and to state the obvious people living in different times are different. The terrors that appear in modern literature are different than those found in early American literature. Some of these fears that stand out are a fear of a lack of control, a fear of the past, and a fear of change. Which can all be boiled down to a desire for freedom.

Fear manifests itself into our minds. In society today, issues with safety and security are very prevalent. We fear the slightest disruption or threat to our lives. As more problems arise in the world, the fear heightens. Every tragedy is a reminder to us of how much we can not control; it reminds us that there is only so much we can do to keep ourselves safe. The feeling of having no control over your situation is terrifying to people. In result of this, we go to huge lengths for the illusion that we may somehow be able to have power over our lives. In the short story Once Upon a Time, Nadine Gordimer brings light to the issues of insecurity and racial issues: the family in the story goes to extreme lengths to prevent break ins from black people. Their fear of having an intruder and their stereotypical mindset leads to a tragic downfall.
