Phil Connors: Wagged As A Weatherman

As Tom grew older he began to take notice of his surroundings, the people around him and learnt how to see the light at the end of a very dark mental tunnel.

Although as he got back into enjoying playing rugby at his school, Bennies, as well as running with his uncle Brendan, he began to become ‘Tom Brennan again’. When Tom started talking to the girl he liked, Chrissy, he became much more confident and starting to come out of the ‘dark tunnel’ he was seemingly trapped in. Not long after they started to go out with each other, with this completing Tom’s ‘comeback’ to being the person that he wanted to be. ‘…that was the morning Tom Brennan came back, forever.’ The only reason Tom Brennan went away was because of Daniel, his brother, who is not that much older than Tom, decided that driving while heavily intoxicated was a logical thing to

In Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, numerous references are made to different conditions of weather. Even the title of the novel suggests the storminess present in nearly the entire book. The often-changing weather serves to signify the characters’ personalities, as well as the changes that they go through during the course of their lives.

When it comes to literature, weather can be used in many different ways. It can symbolize theme, set the mood of the story, and even affect the plot. In Tangerine by Edward Bloor, the weather acts as a plot device and as a symbol.

Camus, the author of The Stranger, was a strong believer of absurdism, the belief that life is lived and existing with no meaning whatsoever, concluding that to find the meaning of human life will require an adsorb journey of negativity. In The Stranger, the protagonist Meursault, begins as an unemotional outsider, progressing through a stage of anger toward himself, and concludes with a stage of happiness and positivity towards the world. But throughout most of the time, he was in the first dull stage, living life as a constant boring routine, lacking communication and only at the very end realizing that life could be lived well, before his unfortunate execution due to past consequences. Groundhog Day shares a similar theme of that of The Stranger, in which the main protagonist, Phil Connors, progresses through three critical stages of life realization. He began as a selfish, egocentric news reporter, to a depressed and even suicidal stage, and concludes with a relieving extroverting attitude toward others, when the meaning of his life is realized. The movie’s plot plays a key role in this, when he repeats the second day of February over and over again from his same motel bedroom. As the loop continues, he edges off the boring routine life, re-examines it, and knows of his life priorities to benefit
