Sappho 96 is a poem that explores the beauty of love in the context of heartbreak and abandonment. The mood of the poem is almost wistful as Sappho seems to be clearly saddened by her lover, Anaktoria, leaving her; however, in true Sappho fashion, she can maintain the beauty she sees in her lover. The filled in lines serve to enhance the feelings of melancholy and passivity while giving the reader a deeper insight to the love Sappho has for Anaktoria.

In his sophomore film, Julien Donkey-Boy (1999), director Harmony Korine tunes in to the psychotic perspective of Julien (Ewan Bremner) – a suburban schizophrenic with raisin-black eyes and detachable dentistry – and his almost equally grotesque family, in a disorderly smear of violence, incest, and finally, tragedy. The film 's fragmented narrative structure, with its grainy and hand-held visual style, shudders on to the screen in a fusillade of discursive vignettes, that reflect, not only the digital dexterity of its director, but the haunting psychosis of its titular protagonist. It is the inarticulate jumble of Julien 's psychology which is the organizing principle of the film. And, it is precisely how we as viewers identify with this character and become complicit in his pathological perspective which this essay will continue to explore.

Additionally, there were others standing behind the two apparitions, some of which the five have never heard of before, but they were all equally prominent in their own right within Brotzmanskrieg and all of its other resulting conflicts. “All these people stand alongside them, and it is this so-called Plaid Dream, which motivates them. True, they may have their disagreements, but they nevertheless share similar enemies.” Suddenly, the other apparitions disappeared one by one, and the scenery reverted back to its normal state. Only the two primary apparitions remained.
