The film “Cool Hand Luke” Directed by Stuart Rosenberg was released in 1967. It was about how Luke goes through his time in prison. The other film that relates to this film is “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” directed by Miloš Forman was released in 1975. It was about how Randle was put in a psych ward because everyone thinks he’s crazy but helps the other patients and like Luke, Randle both films had Propp's theory on narrative structure where there are the traditional seven characters and the main characters were “heroes” but they don’t seem like heroes. They use camera angles to show how the characters in both films can be known as role models and not heros.

The Movie “Cool Hand Luke” is about a middle-aged man who gets put into prison after getting caught cutting off the heads of parking meters. You view his experience in the prison and how he refuses to conform to the standards held by the jail and the rest of the current prisoners. Unfortunately at the end, Luke ends up getting shot and killed. After viewing the movie “Cool Hand Luke” there were three main psychological themes that were very prevalent on the basis of the film. The three Psychological themes consisted of Obedience to Authority, Conformity, and Nonconformity meaning that it will be addressed how society affects the way individuals behave, think, and feel.

In the movie Cool Hand Luke, Luke Jackson (Paul Newman) is arrested for cutting the heads off the town’s parking meters. His punishment seems extreme, as he is sentenced to two years on a chain gang at a Florida prison. Although Luke received several decorations in the war, including the silver star, he never rises above a private in the Army. This suggests perhaps he has a resentment for those in authority.

The story of “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton bring many different themes into question and conflict. One of these ideas is the dispute between ethics and morals versus personal desire. In the story, Ethan wants to leave Zeena because she is shrewish, while Mattie is kind, gentle, radiant, and a perfect match for Ethan. Ethan's desire to leave Zeena for Mattie is therefore completely understandable. Yet, because Ethan knows that society standards in this time period would cause him to be severely judged as a man who abandoned his wife. The author uses variety of literary tools to help contribute to the theme morals and ethics versus personal desires. The setting, character, and plot contribute to the theme morals and ethics versus personal desires.

The film, Cool Hand Luke, directed by Stuart Rosenberg and produced by Gordon Carroll, was released in November 1967. It is an American prison drama film about a former soldier who is sent to jail for taking the heads off of parking meters. Luke, the protagonist, is sentenced to two years in a chain gang prison ran by severe guardians. If the prisoners violate the rules it results in spending the night in the “box”, which is a small room with limited air and limited space to move. Most of them follow every rule, while Luke is alienated at the prison. He does not take the regulations seriously, which always gets him into trouble. This film presents several examples of religious symbolism and themes which will be analyzed through the character of Luke, which is often applied in the film to add depth to his character.

In the movie “The Bookdock Saints” there are many examples of moral dilemmas. The goal of this paper is to walk through most of them and explain how they relate to the underlying moral dilemma. Viewers of this movie are faced with a choice of whether to embrace the actions of the brothers or to condemn them which is not only the overall theme of the movie but also the moral dilemma that adds to the suspense of the movie.

Throughout time, stories of heroes have been told. Ranging from stories from Ancient Greece to Modern-day films. Russian folklorist Vladimir Propp in 1928 published Morphology of the Folktale detailing how all heroic stories can be divided into functions that must be followed. These 31 functions broke all heroic stories down into pieces that the hero must overcome. Starting from the abstention of a member close to the hero and ending in being wedded. I will be applying these units to the popular modern day film of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In this film, I found that there are 24 of Vladimir Propp’s units used that define Luke Skywalker’s journey through the galaxy far far away.

Star Wars is a series that has been around since the late 1970s. When you watch the very first one “Star Wars A New Hope” which was released in May of 1977 and compare it to the new one “Star Wars The Force Awakens” which was released last year you will notice that there storylines are very similar. When it comes to similarities of these 2 films it isn't just the characters that are the same. In “The New Hope” R2D2 has a map that shows them how to blow up the Death Star. Their main focus is to keep the droid “R2D2” alive because he is the only one who has a map that shows them how to set off a chain reaction and blow up the Death Star.

This paper will attempt to answer: How do the operations of repression inform the work? What unconscious motives are operating in the main character(s)? What core issues are thereby illustrated? How do these core issues structure or inform the piece? Are there any family dynamics, including oedipal or Electra dynamics, at work in the piece? Is it possible to relate a character's patterns of adult behavior to early experiences in the family as represented in the story? How do these patterns of behavior and family dynamics operate and what do they reveal?

Throughout time, the authors of the world have experienced different forms of stresses. The type of stress experienced by the author helps shape their moral perspective.

In Graves in Gallipoli and The Little Entente the moral perspective of the authors’ is shaped by the stress created by the Great War. The stress created by the Great Depression and the Great War shaped authors’ moral perspectives in different ways.

This is a rich work: about the deterioration of western morality from its early heroic age to the present barbarism; about the fragmentation and growing incoherence of ethical theory that accompanies the deterioriation; about the shape that self and society have increasingly taken; and about the concepts through which we can gain an understanding of the process.
