We can observe the selection of blue color symbolizing melancholy in these scenes. Also, during the film, another color scene, this time yellow, can be seen, reflecting madness, insecurity, and obsessive by these scenes in the jury and streets. The catastrophic events, scenography and audio incremented the tension of every scene and complemented the facial expressions in the characters, creating a circle of the dramatic tension in the movie.

In “How to read literature like a professor” by Thomas Foster he explains different literary techniques that writers use when writing a story. Some of these techniques were symbolism, tone, major conflicts, foreshadowing and using certain settings. Even though all of these techniques are important to the story, symbolism is more important because it is used the most throughout the book. Symbolism is the use of people or objects to portray a certain idea or quality of something.

One element of film that Julien Temple consistently reverts to throughout his film Requiem for Detroit? (Temple, 2010), is the element of motif. Both visual and aural motifs, used separately and in conjunction, are used to great effect to present and enhance the reading of the film that the director intended. Some key motifs used are fire, abandoned buildings, graffiti and many sound effects depicting destruction and

Throughout the novel, Fitzgerald’s use of symbolism helps create an ambiance of longing. He dominantly uses color to represent and convey specific messages to the reader. These colors are woven so seamlessly into the story that one would not think very much of them. However, they play a large role in shaping the novel. Fitzgerald uses yellow to represent money, and Gatsby’s desire to be included among the elite “old money” social class. His longing is shown through his yellow car and his yellow suit. Although yellow represents a major aspect of the novel, the green light at the end of Daisy’s pier holds the most significance. When Nick says, “Gatsby believed in the green light … ” (Fitzgerald 180), he is referring to Gatsby’s American Dream and how he believed that he would one day be reunited with Daisy. Green expresses the same feelings

As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of

In the novel “How to Read Literature like a Professor” the author, Thomas Foster, analyzed and broke down many literary techniques and reoccurring themes in literature. One of the most widely used literary techniques as shown in the novel was Symbolism. Symbolism is heavily used in literature from precipitation and weather to politics, almost everything we read in literature is a form of symbolism.

Yellow being the color of gold, which symbolizes money, is an accurate representation of his wealth. The color yellow separates the rich individuals, such as Tom and Daisy, from the color green run-down individuals, such as Jay Gatsby. Gold and green used in the book thus contrastingly symbolize old wealth and new riches. The color yellow also represents positive and wealthy future which is why yellow is the center of a daisy. Tom’s greed for money is increasingly at peak throughout the book.

Colors can invoke feelings for people. Certain colors are attached to moods. Red can represent anger, green sometimes represents envy and blue can represent calm or even melancholy. Much art, music, and literature is dependent on color to convey the intended mood of the artist. In the novel, The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby, a man with wealth, power, and possessions is on a quest for the dream that he will never attain. He cannot have all that he already has plus the true love of Daisy. Fitzgerald creates his own unique motifs surrounding certain colors and uses these colors to emphasize the futility in Gatsby’s quest for this dream. Through the use

While Christine is sharing her story, the color of yellow appears again. At first, it represents failure and cowardliness, but later the color symbolizes complete peace within her. As a young child she was the

It represents what outer personality that he shows others. The color yellow is similar to gold and represents old money, greediness, and social status. Gatsby surrounds himself with yellow. He believes that decorating himself and house in yellow will signify and show that he is a member of the wealthier status, however yellow, is not gold. The car that he purchases to impress Daisy is the color yellow. “Gatsby’s ostentatious car, which he buys only to impress Daisy, is yellow and the girls dressed in “twin yellow dresses” at Gatsby’s’ party are painted in stark contrast to the “golden” Jordan (Examples of the Symbolism of colors in “The Great Gatsby”).” The yellow car symbolizes Gatsby’s desire to be in a higher class whereas “golden” Jordan symbolizes how valuable she is to Nick as a person. She is as valuable as gold is to the average person. On the other hand, yellow also symbolizes destruction and death. Myrtle, married to George but having an having an affair with Tom is killed by a yellow car symbolizing

Symbolism is the use of an object or a word to represent an abstract idea. It's often used by writers to represent a hidden message or a hint in a story. The short Stories " A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner and "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker are great examples of the use of symbolism. In "A Rose for Emily" Faulkner uses symbolism to create a Story about a woman called Emily whose life is surrounded by mysteries, especially after the death of her father and the disappearance of her beloved Homer. Falkner uses symbolism to hide several messages through the Story which, in my opinion, sounds very morbid as things happen. In "Everyday Use," Alice Walker symbolizes her messages through a beautiful detailed story where Mrs. Johnson also

The audience can make a much better connection with the film when symbolism is used, better than relating to an action or object alone. For the audience, a story that you can not read into is extremely boring but, when symbolism is used, it makes the audience connect to the story and develop their own ideas about the story or scene. For example, when Mrs. Pascal gives Harold cookies, it symbolises the spreading of happiness.

The color yellow is also used throughout the story as a symbol of corruption and death. The car that Gatsby drives was yellow and his yellow car killed Myrtle. The flower that Daisy is named after is white on the outside and yellow in the middle. Daisy seems innocent on the outside, but her real character is as corrupt and greedy as Tom's.

Yellow symbolizes falsity and dishonesty. When Nick is with Tom and Myrtle, she changes into a cream colored dress and “her personality had also undergone a change,” (Fitzgerald 34) as she put on a false persona. The color yellow represents her alter in attitude and lack of purity, and the same goes for other characters in the book. At the beginning, Daisy was dressed in white as a symbol of innocence, but as she began to progress and show her flaws, the yellow in her wardrobe became significant. Yellow also exemplifies dishonesty during the gathering at Myrtle and Tom’s apartment.

For example, Faulkner uses symbolism as one of the literary devices in the story to help the readers understand it. He uses the inside of her house to insinuate to Emily’s disintegrating mind. The interior of her house was slowly decaying just like Emily was. The inside of the house had a smell “of dust and disuse—a close, dank smell” and “the leather was cracked” on her furniture. This relates to Emily because as she gets older she becomes more demented. The lime was also symbolic in the story because the towns people used it to hide the horrendous smell coming from Emily’s house. “They broke open the cellar door and sprinkled lime in there, and in all the outbuildings.” The lime the towns people used was a symbol of trying to hide something unknown or embarrassing. They were complaining about the smell coming from her house for a while so they finally used lime to cover the
