Seward mirrors the character Victor Frankenstein in Penny Dreadful. Both characters do not always portray the male characteristics associated with ego; their behaviors are more linked towards this relationship-orientated characteristic. Typically, a man’s journal entries would be more fact-based and observational of the current events, which is evident within Harker’s and Van Helsing’s journal entries. In contrast to a man’s journal, a woman’s journal would be filled with their emotions, concerns, fears, and thoughts about the men within their lives, which is evident within Mina’s and Lucy’s journal entries. Most of Dr. Seward’s journal entries talk about his pinning for Lucy Westenra and his personal feelings about the couple. Dr. Seward is characterized as a typical romantic, a characteristic usually reserved for woman. Stoker notes, “No man knows till he experience it, what it is to feel his own life-blood drawn away into the veins of the woman he loves” which implies that he was willing has a strong affection for her and was willing to do anything to save her( Stoker 119). This suggests to the readers that Dr. Seward’s devotion the beyond physical domain. This sort of attachment is usually assigned to being a female trait. In Penny Dreadful, Victor Frankenstein has an emotional attachment to the creature. In the mise en scène, the creature was recently fired from his job at the theater, he has nowhere to go, and his last resort is to go to Victor’s home. The creature gave his speech to his creator about being alone, hating himself, and getting rejected from love. Victor contemplates on ending the creature’s life but takes pity on him instead. The director uses close up frame shots to showcase Victor hand holding the gun near the creature’s head even though the camera mostly focuses on the creature face. The music and lightning are very dark which influences the viewers to feel sympathetic towards the creature. This scene shows

Post modernism can be seen as a turning against structuralism and the rigid thinking of genre. Shaun of the Dead(Focus) is a postmodern film as a combination of two genres: horror and comedy. Horror and comedy are both opposites but did very well together in this film. Shaun of the Dead is a post-modern as it had all of the elements of a horror film but is in fact a comedy. The film was directed and written by “Edgar Wright” (Wright) and co-written by “Simon Peggs” (Peggs). The film is a hybrid romantic, zombie and a comedy. These genres contradict each other therefore resulting the film to be seen as a comedy as these opposing genres are not normally combined with each other.

“Those were dear good people, but they must have carried simplicity and credulity to the limit. They would stick a pin in my arm and bear on it until they drove it a third of its length in, and then be lost in wonder that by a mere exercise of will-power the professor could turn my arm to iron and make it insensible to pain. Whereas it was not insensible at all; I was suffering agonies of pain” (3).

One Night the Moon (Rachel Perkins) is a marvellous portrayal of the conflict between the white settler and the Indigenous Australian, at the heart of which, is their attitude to the land and what it represents. The film demonstrates the conflict created through opposing views of land ownership due to misunderstanding and stubbornness over opinions, and highlights the mistreatment the Indigenous people have suffered over this confusion. The film follows a white settler, Jim Ryan, and an indigenous police officer, Albert, and their actions surrounding the disappearance of Jim’s daughter, Emily. The film depicts the conflict caused by their opposing attitudes towards the land, particularly Jim’s territorial view towards ‘his’ land. Perkins attempts to bring the similarity between their conflict in the 1930s and our society now to the fore by subtly hinting at the subconscious of the audience to cause them to consider their own ideas and values.

Shaun Of The Dead is constructed like a horror movie postmodernism as a combination of two of the opposition - the horror and comedy genres. It can be seen to the postmodern also turned against structured and rigid thinking of the horror movies. Shaun Of The Dead is a postmodern because it consists of all the elements of a horror movie, but in fact is a comedy, Shaun of the Dead was written by Edgar Wright and co-author Simon Page, the film is a hybrid romantic, coma, and comedy, and this type contradict thus each other than the film led to be seen as a comedy, as traditionally is not a combination of these types usually opposed to each other. Shaun of the Dead is a contemporary version of the horror film because it still follows the laws and conventions of the horror film, which consists of blood and gore, zombies and isolation this whole iconography of popular horror movies. Another way Shaun Of The Dead contrasts with the horror and the theory of character Propp films is by replacing the main character to lead the male cool and strong ordinary boy who works in a shop selling electronic devices with slacker him from a friend who adds initially Another element of humor in the film due to lack of The presence of the typical characteristics of a hero.

People watch horror films to renew their feelings of normality. Caught up in our lives, we all begin to lose our sense of feeling like a normal person. By watching the peculiar events and characters in a horror movie, a person can replenish their normality. Stephen King offers another example from a horror movie that compares humans to the ugly personae in a horror movie--“Freda Jackson as the horrible melting women in Die, Monster, Die!” (King, “Why We 1) makes us feel, to put it bluntly, normal. King continues to use this example to prove we are “light- years from true ugliness” (King “Why We 1). Humans require the strangeness of horror movies to demonstrate they are normal. A short story by King represents an example on how to compare a “regular” person to the main character of the story “Strawberry Spring.” King states that everyone is a tiny bit insane, and they need horror films to contain their insanity. King describes how even a “normal” person has a minuscule piece of insanity living inside them, “ Your insanity leads you only to talk to your self when you are under stress” (King, “Why We” 2). The average person has a mild case of insanity and to view a horror movie or read a terrifying story about strange characters it reestablishes their sense of normality. In “ Strawberry Spring” the main character loses control of his own mind when the fog comes. When he loses control he carves

The colourless man chuckled as he reached out with a frail hand and shared the grip of the rod. Eutropio gazed beneath the flame at the iron-like skin of the odd man's hand, surprised and tense. The knuckles were heavily bruised, only a mere centimetre above his own. He was about to ask what was going through his mind, whether thievery was on the agenda. Either way he relinquished his own grip, the gruesome hand prompting too many panicky thoughts to form of just what would happen if the knuckles slid down the wood to his own and their hands connected.
