Sling Blade’s main theme is the redemption of Karl’s lost childhood. Karl Childer’s overly religious parents believed he was a punishment from God. They severely abused him, treated him like an animal, and forced him to live in a shed in solitude. Everyone in town picked on him and called him names. He was seen as a “retard” or slower than others. He had little to call his own. His only possessions were a Bible and several books on Christmas and carpentry.

Many people think, blacks cannot do many things, they do not have the same rights white do. Some people, even after the segregation times are over, still have in their mind “blacks stink”. Many are also racist about women and girls. They say women cannot achieve as many goals as a man. Well let me be the first to tell you. This is wrong.

Whether you drowned in the text in your final year of school, or saw it in that one ‘Simpsons’ episode in 2009, everyone at least, kind of knows the story of that curse’d Scottish Play. Yet, what you might not know is that the hardest part to nail about the play isn’t the language, but instead, the complex themes that run through the story. Throughout this tragic tale, countless characters succumb to the pressures of maintaining their macho-man status, while others use their new-found ‘manliness’ to accomplish unbelievable things. Masculine ambition is a theme that underpins the entire plot and is the unfortunate downfall of many great (and not so great) characters.
