Similarities Between Rape Fantasies And The Other Place

In some ways both short stories were written with some similarities in mind. In both of the short stories that were told there was a death taken place which is a sad thing in stories that could affect the mood of the reader. After the death there is someone to clean it up and keep it secret so no one would know In both of the stories there is unique writing styles used to add effect to the story. These are some of the things that were used in both stories that kind of put them together as

The first aspect both stories have in common is the fact that both of the women are oppressed by a man in their life.“The

In the other story, the young boy realizes why he is in his predicament a lot sooner than wanted and goes through excruciating pain to try and stop his fate before it’s too late. I feel like the author's purpose for both stories was to make a point of how people feel when they are being judged and the consequences that go with it. Both authors

There is many ways the stories are similar, one being racism. I say racism because i feel like this is the main reason the stories are similar is because they both show the cruel and disturbing truth and facts about racism. This is just one of the ways the stories are similar.

The story “Killings” and the film “In the Bedroom” are one in the same. Between the two, one can identify several differences and some similarities. Although one of the main differences/similarities is that the film plot seems to provide more sympathy towards the Fowler’s. Both “Killings” and “In the Bedroom” expose sympathy towards the Fowler’s, but by examining the similarities and differences the film version allows the audience to have more sympathy. Between them both the audience can see how some scenes are different and how some are the same, how there is a similar theme yet have a few differences, and how one is killed between the two which all leads to the film having more sympathy for the Fowler’s.

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

While each story had their contrasting elements, the base theme of each was remarkably similar; Both of the authors manipulate the theme of motherhood to examine the ideas of slavery, home and forgiveness during two very different time periods.

The perspective of the two stories allow the reader to perceive the sense of proximity the protagonist has with their victim.

The settings in the two stories are similar in the way that they both take place in a small town with a sense of poverty. The adults are portrayed as authoritative and the narrators feel trapped.

In “The Black Cat”, the narrator starts the story out by saying that basically he is not insane, but he will be put to death. In the beginning paragraph of “The Tell-Tale Heart”, he then also explains that he is not crazy either. As you can see here, these introductions are very similar, due to the fact that they both state that they are not crazy, yet both narrators kill something, which is another similarity in these stories. The second paragraph of the two stories, they start to explain that they love something and are so fond of it. For instance, in “the Black Cat” that narrator states that he loves animals. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” this narrator states that he loves the old man. This right here shows that these two were had affection towards something, though they are different.

These two pieces of literature are alike in many ways here are some examples. In both stories no one was in the main characters corner. We can see this when Tessie tried to stand up for herself when instead her best friend picked up the heaviest rock in paragraph 74. When in Martins case as he was trying to stand up for himself no one stood up for him because they didn’t want to mess with the Nazis and also he didn’t stand up for them in their time of crisis. These two reads also show the theme about getting hurt in the process of standing up for what is right.

In these two works there are similarities and differences in plot. A similar plot from both stories is that the protagonist, a soldier, had to kill someone. “He must kill the enemy that enemy and he could not use his rifle.”(O’Flaherty

Thesis: Death is the main theme of both short stories and both authors portrayed this dark and dreary idea as a game the characters are playing.

Both of these works have very similar narrators. By just reading the works, they seem very different because of who they killed and why, where and with whom they lived, and how they murdered their victims. But, by analyzing the two men, they become more and more alike. They both tell their stories in the first person and write from their jail cells. Each chose to reference an animal in their stories. The two men, both hide the corpses in the structures of the homes. Likewise, the narrators try to defend their sanity by logically justifying their horrific actions based on their mental states throughout the flashbacks of the events.

Rape is an experience which shakes the foundations of the lives of the victims. For many its effect is long term, impairing their capacity for personal relationships, altering their behaviour and values and generating fear, Temkin (1986:17).
