The artist creates a focal point with the only woman whose face viewers cannot see. The women’s dress appears to have caught on fire and produces luminosity around the chandelier, forming a shadow within the corners of the room, which brings the viewers eyes from the main woman, up to the chandelier, as shown in the picture to the left.

The red room is the scene of the next occurrence of suffering but in a

“I've told her and I've told her: daughter, you have to teach that child the facts of life before it's too late” (Hopkinson 1). These are the first three lines of Nalo Hopkinson's short story “Riding the Red”, a modern adaptation of Charles Perrault's “Little Red Riding Hood”. In his fairy tale Perrault prevents girls from men's nature. In Hopkinson's adaptation, the goal remains the same: through the grandmother biographic narration, the author elaborates a slightly revisited plot without altering the moral: young girls should beware of men; especially when they seem innocent.

Red, in this book, is a fearful, atrocious color that represents all the chaos and destruction that happens everywhere.

The most fatal air raid occurred during the night when no one was aware and all sleeping. On that day, everyone was murdered without a chance of survival. Everyone, but Liesel was dead and lifeless.

Six could represent human morality, the devil, spiritual imperfection. The masquerade takes place in the sixth month of isolation in the abbey; the sixth apartment is where the Prince finally confronts Red Death and eventually dies, falling in to the seventh apartment. The sixth apartment is also colored violet, which has meaning of royalty and power. It may be irony that the prince succumbs to the "Red Death" in the violet room and may have more to do with the fact that it is the sixth room they meet. It is the number six that represents the defiance of god and marks several anti-Christ like figures in

Do you think that the neiborbors will be glad that red chief is back? I think that they will be madder than two elephants that don’t have any water to drink. The reason why I say this is because he does a lot of very bad things. Likewise he is always throwing rocks at his neighbors cats and his neighbor really hates that. Also he is as loud as a train horn. Then one day red chief was out side digging a hole to china in the middle of his neighbor’s yard. Then when the lady looked out her widow and sawl red chief digging she came out side scheming as loud as a bobcat.

I believe, as do others, Judith and the Maidservant with the head of Holofernes is perhaps homage to her rape and subsequent treatment during her adolescent years. Her painting`s inspiration also plays tribute to the biblical story of Judith, who sleeps with the King Holofernes and than decapitates the drunk King in his sleep. Both Judith and the maidservant are now dominate in the painting over the dead male, they are quiet, unobtrusive and tense. A single candle burns within the dark room creating stark contrast between light and dark. The artist`s great skill can be seen in the bright highlighted details of Judith's hand and in the folds of clothing of the two. Depth and dark core detail can also be seen in the dark and reflective shadow areas within the room. Judith's hand covers the candlelight as she peers at the outside world, perhaps in an attempt to help in

Using the recurring motifs of red lanterns and caged birds, Raise the Red Lantern conveys themes of authority and custom, leading to further ideas of imprisonment, isolation and power. Authority and custom are integral themes, exemplified through the utilisation of red lanterns and their association with the Master and historical traditions upheld by the Chen family.

Subsequently, we see custom used as a tool to project the authority of the Master’s omnipotence over the household, as well as a catalyst for the constant shift in power between each concubine – their incessant want for control leading to

Although the movie does a good job at outlining the novel, it does not capture all the details and emotions each character illustrates in the novel. A key component that was described in the novel but was not included in the film was the importance of the red candle that was burned during Lindo and Tyan-yu’s wedding. In Chinese cultures, red candles and the color red in general symbolize a lifetime of luck, happiness and joy. Often times, the color red may also represent fertility and help to eliminate bad spirits. It is important for readers and viewers to understand the importance of the red candle in the Joy Luck Club because it plays an important role in many Chinese women’s lives.
