Movie Review : ' The Brass Teapot '

Situational irony also here list the fact her friend for the necklace so that she truly believes that the item she may further

The Storyline was very good, but it was not the same as the book. The director made a good choice with having the intro be with the girl in the red dress because if they did that in the middle of the movie as a flashback, then that would have made it confusing for the audience. This choice was good and even better than the book because it made the storyline easier to understand.

This was really good because many books tend to stop the story before telling its readers how the lives of its characters were going. The Epilogue at the end of the story also helped to inform the reason for the book.

The necklace serves as a symbol for greed. When Mathilda Loisel loses the necklace that she believed was worth forty thousand francs, she desperately retraces her steps and gets her husband to help her find it as well. It ends up taking ten years to pay off the debt. The ten years were hard on Mathilda Loisel and her husband, and Maupassant told the reader that she “looked old now… with hair half combed, with skirts award, and reddened hands” (6). However, even after the long ten years of manual labor all because she lost the necklace, she “sat down near the window and though of that evening at the ball so long ago, when she has been so beautiful and so admired” (6). The necklace symbolizes that when greed controls emotions and decisions, it never leads to good results.

Her husband tries and tries until he comes up with a great idea to give her an invitation to a ball. She cheers up a little until she realizes she can’t afford a dress. Her husband asks how much and had given her the money to purchase herself a nice dress. She has the dress but still doesn’t feel pretty nor happy after she put the dress on. She wanted more than just the dress which was jewels but didn’t have any. Someone suggested that she should use flowers, but didn’t find happiness in the flowers. Madame Forestier offer Mathilde to borrow her diamond necklace, which gave her the emptiness that she needed to feel happy. She had a great night and was on her way home when she went to feel for the necklace but found that it was gone. She started to panic and retraced her steps but couldn’t find it anywhere. She and her husband went from jeweler to jeweler to find the exact necklace and to replace it. They worked and worked until they had paid it off and returned it to Madame Forestier. She was a little annoyed since she had got it a few weeks after the ball. Eventually she admitted to what she had done and was surprised with what she was told. She was informed that the necklace was a fake. That it was costume jewelry. In this story the Madame was an outsider towards Mathilde. Mathilde didn’t know who she was and had taken the necklace to wear for the

The plot was uncertain at times but overall was detailed enough to present the over all struggle of one mans' journey through the cosmos. The transitions from one chapter to the next were very well organized. Through many weeks passes in the book, it seamed to flow into one seamless efficiently written story.

The story-line was very good, but it was not the same as the book. The director made a good choice with having the intro be with the girl in the red dress because if they did that in the middle of the movie as a flashback, then that would have made it confusing for the audience. This choice was good and even better than the book because it made the story-line easier to understand.

Will the story has the potential to be a compelling drama, the script would benefit from more development, especially in the area of structure, pace, and tension.

The tone is dark and gritty. The series offers an ensemble cast of characters. There are solid themes about revenge, redemption, and second chances. The series also appears to explore lust, anger, and greed, as well as justice.

     There isn’t really a tone in the book. The author writes as if she was more informational. I think the book is actually a little bit suspenseful because when I read it I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next.

From the first chapter, I found it particularly interesting when the narrator says, “she was so evidently the victim of the civilization which had produced her, that the links of her bracelet seemed like manacles chaining her to her fate” (page 8). So right from the first chapter we get an idea of the kind of society they are in, one that is mostly about money equating to power. The bracelet being a chain shows how imprisoned not only her but other women feel in that society, how they must be constantly dolled up, and if they can’t do it all themselves then that’s when they go get married (page 13). The bracelet is this constantly reminder that she, and women, are not free individuals but prisoners of society. The need to be pretty and fancy for others to see worth shows this idea of social expectations, or even social determinism.

    The story starts off with Thomas recalling the night of the accident, this is a good opener it pulls the reader in and peaks their curiosity. It hits the pathos appeal hard because she is pulling us in, to find out what happened to her husband and how it affected her. As we read

I liked that this script was not short on laughs with the slightly mordantly mixed slapstick humor; an audience will easily become captivated with Jack’s pivotal role of essentially saving the animal population. What do you think needs work? The areas in this script that seemed to need more work were Flip’s overall purpose in the narrative, missed plot point opportunities to widen Jack’s ally circle and a few grammatical errors overlooked in the description lines.

Throughout the story the title "The Necklace" becomes several other symbols, for example when Mathilde loses the necklace and makes the decision to be dishonest, the necklace becomes a symbol of Mathilde's greed and the severe consequences that came with it. After all, the necklace is the reason why Mathilde's life went into extreme poverty and unhappiness.

One, noticeable part that plays a huge part in the theme is irony and/or suspense. In “The Necklace” the readers are suspenseful of if Mathilde will come out and tell the truth or try to cover up her steps. Mathilde hurries to find the diamond necklace that she has lost, and to find someone willing to work with her payment plan. Throughout this short story Mathilde faces hard tasks of work to receive the money until she can pay it off. Also, It was very suspenseful when overtime we watched Mathilde try to conquer her external conflict. Suspenseful was a feeling that took over most readers because most of them were worried that Mathilde’s friend was going to find out about to lost of the necklace. Also, Ironically the necklace was fake causing all of Mathilde’s hard work to be useless. Overall, this taught Mathilde a lesson.
