Subjectivity In The Film Charles

By having Everyman interact with these conceptualized characters, the author externalizes his inner conflict. Perhaps this technique seems too obvious or almost condescending to our more literate age, but whatever the case, it effectively conveys the central message of the play.

In the story, you can see that john is passive men that try’s to avoid conflicts in any way possible. There was when john lied to the stranger and also his boss about what the stranger wanted so that it wouldn’t make Mr. Berry upset. Also, when John agrees with Mr. Barry about his son broke his plants knowing that it wasn’t actually his son and that some white bully threw it up there, but instead went along with it to avoid conflict. John is trying to protect his love one and those around him which makes him passive.

"What about self-denial, then? If you had a God, you'd have a reason for self-denial.But industrial civilization is only possible when there's no self-denial. Self-indulgence up to the very limits imposed by hygiene and economics. Otherwise the wheels stop turning."John who grew out of the main society also is unplease with the society do to he doesn't have the freedom to have emotions the quote shows how frustrated with everyone always being the same. Both character are similar by how they both are black sheep in their society and are displeased with how things are going yet both play a different role in it's a brave new world. In the novel Bernard real is the link to all these events happening without him going new mexico he would have never discovered John. John on the other hand brings to the novel a outsider's opinions of the new world in a way he a character the reader could relate to because he grow up with the knowledge of book and feeling unlike the rest of the charters. Both character show similar emotions of the new world but in different points of view and

Additionally, John embodies naturalism in it’s own way, by including seemingly unimportant information in dialogue. This is another display of naturalism, because in real life people do include information that is irrelevant to the larger story. The characters, mostly Mertis, seem to ramble on about things that don’t always connect directly to the matter at hand. But Mertis does this in a way that is familiar; like most real old people, she tends to get lost on a tangent. This extraneous dialogue furthers the realistic feel of the play, but also shines light on the deeper psychology of the characters in an almost sneaky way. For example, when Mertis talks about the hospital she worked in, and how she ran into the doctor and got the chance to tell him she was doing well for herself now, we see Mertis rambling on just like any older person talking about the past. But this dialogue also reveals Mertis’ insecurities and need for validation. She wanted the doctor to know she was doing “quite well” (Baker). Dialogue like this is important because it reveals the intricacies of the characters and their complex nature.

The postmodern style of writing John Kennedy Toole, makes so that the various cast of the characters in the story are much closer to people in real life making this book a perfect case to study and relate to characters of people across the world .

However it is learned later that John the savage is the main character. But in this society of flawless people being made bernard does have a flaw he develops feelings about his shortness to alpha stature to be a for of every egotistical and this makes him very emotional but unable to do anything. However John being the only character born of a mother he has this family connection that is not present in any of the other characters. Although John being born of two higher londoners he seems to follow the arts more and focus on things such as shakespeare. John has constantly had this feeling of not fitting in and disconnected or rejected, he is constantly filled with this feeling of pain and confusion of not fitting in.(compare

John the Savage was the only person who did not objectify women. He, essentially, was the Christ figure in the story, as he was the only one who believed in God and his morals were better than the people he associated with in London. John was brave, he fought for what he thought was right, and he called out any injustice whenever he saw them. At the end, like Jesus in the desert, he became isolated from society. John was even tempted by his own personal devils of lust, ignored everything that linked to civilization, and whipped himself for forgiveness. On the hill where he was alone, “... he stretched out his arms as though he were on the Cross…” (Huxley 244). John wanted to feel like Jesus Christ on the road of self-discipline, since Jesus was one of his childhood heroes. He had his faults though seeing that, as stated before, he could not control his anger. He stabbed Popé; he attacked Lenina not once but twice because she tried seducing him but it obviously did not work. Despite all this, his weaknesses showed how he was human. John was the character that brought light into the book filled with darkness from the oppression of society.

John Smith had a very bland appearance. He had a round face with blue eyes and kept very tidy facial hair. We know this from the quote “ Moon-faced with wide blue eyes and a small mouth above which sat a carefully rimmed mustache.” (Fusi,45) He was a skinny and short man which was a physical way of showing his sheepish personality. We know this from the line “ He was a head shorter than Emma and a good 50 pounds lighter.” (Fusi,45) John Smith’s bland appearance is further shown when we learn that he always wears grey suits and ties. That is shown in the line “ He always wore light grey ties and a light grey suit.” (Fusi,52) All of these things further show John Smith’s monotonous physical features.

Another type of subjectivity used to aestheticize the 20th century can be found in John Dos Passos,’ The Big Money. In this novel, Dos Pasos’ uses two major types of subjectivity to re-present the past. The first type is the use of the characters to symbolize a larger idea present in 20th century American society- the loss of humanity in the pursuit of material success and ideological aspirations. This form of subjectivity is comparable to Pound’s use of characters. However, Dos Pasos’ subjectively presents his ideas through fictional characters rather than an allegorical 3rd person autobiography (as seen in Hugh Selwyn Mauberry). Throughout the Big Money, Dos Pasos depicts various characters who sacrifice their creativity to pursue ideological goals defined as worthwhile by their respective culture. Specifically, the character, Charley Anderson, epitomized Dos Pasos’ view of 20th century America. Charley Anderson was a decorated fighter pilot who designed many novel aviation components. Throughout the novel, however, Dos Pasos illustrated the demise of Charley’s creativity through the prospect of easy money and ideological aspirations. To emphasize this theme of dehumanization, Charley becomes involved in an accident due to his drinking problem. As Charley is on his death bed, he recalls that the source of his happiness was in inventing, not in making money. Through this scene, Dos Pasos illustrated the dehumanization of a creative person through Charley’s acceptance of cultural norms present in 20th century American. By using characters such as Charley Anderson, Dos Pasos subjectively illustrated the dehumanization present in 20th century American culture for modern readers. In addition to the use of characters, a second form of subjectivity targeted to focus readers on specific events can be found in Dos Pasos’ “Camera Eye” sections. Within these sections, Dos Pasos hopes to display a stream of consciousness in which he placed multiple public events from newspapers, magazines, etc. By using these Camera Eye sections, Dos Pasos forced readers to look at things that were significant to him, thus allowing readers to experience the events he viewed as important and influential during the time-period.

For this greatly appreciated extra credit opportunity given to us, I decided to do a critical analysis on the film Ray (2004) about the life of Ray Charles. The director of this film, Taylor Hackford, has done a fantastic job unfolding real life story of experiences that Ray Charles had, while using a classical narrative structure. The film Ray was such a great tribute to one of the most influential pioneers of jazz music who was known as the father of soul during the 1940’s to the 1950’s. Jamie Foxx was the actor who played the role as Ray Charles in this Universal Pictures film that was released in theatres in the year 2004. The plot to this award winning film was to capture the hard life struggles that helped

There are too many themes in terms of Freudian Perspective but I preferred to use the Ego Defense Mechanism. Fantasy is one of the major theme I’ve identify in the movie which is the narrator Jack tends to imagine that there is such character as Tyler who is brave, good-looking and perfect. He imagine about himself as Tyler which is real opposite of him. But the reality is it’s just between his imaginations that he wanted to be someone else who has greater personality than him. He idealizes of someone who is master than him. Second theme is Denial the narrator denies of his real personality that his weak he idealize other personality as him which is real strong. He deny of the real fact that he’s weak and tends to pursue of having a personality consider as perfect. The twist of the movie is part of the Freudian Themes wherein Tyler is actually manifestation of “Jack” subconscious and repressed

One concern about the script is that because of the ensemble cast, there isn’t a strong protagonist that drives the plot. While it appears that John is the protagonist, he doesn’t have a clear goal, nor does he drive the story. In fact, because of the opening with first Sebastian and then Veronica, it’s a bit challenging to know who the true protagonist really is.

The novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen was originally titled First Impressions. This is significant because it reflects the values and attitudes of 19th century England, and portrays the main themes of the novel. It is set in England during the 1800's and Austen focuses on a society whose opinions are based on first impressions.

In Winquist’s theory of subjectivity in the chapter entitled Beginnings, he defines the systematic function of subjective reality as the ‘source and arbiter of our reality’ as it is an effect on how we relate to the outside world. The subjective foundations give us the knowledge of examining the world, as we know it, by reconstructing our preexisting discourses of the subject. Winquist also notes that in our subjective discourse, we create an “inner reality” that “[is] valued over the external world.” The concepts of meaning, clarity, and truth are all a part of the domain of the subject within the realms of subjective reality. In order to be completely identified with subjectivity, the self must be in control of
