(Russell) The Van Dorts are looking to raise their status in society through the marriage to the aristocrats, and the Everglots are hoping to further bury their secret bankruptcy and get their hands on the money they, wrongly, assume Victor’s family has. At the very beginning, Victor is shown to be a very reserved, shy character

“We do not fear the unknown. We fear what we think about the unknown.” Is a quote from Teal Swan. This idea is incorporated into a lot of director’s movies, however, Tim Burton, a creator of many famous movies, would probably have one of the best understandings of this idea. This is through Burton’s constant use of ideas about the unknown in many of his films. Yet, these ideas of fearing the unknown and curiosity of the unknown are especially prominent in Burton’s films such as The Corpse Bride and

here to present on the topic ‘Language in Indian Writing in English’. Basically I will be talking about the usage of language, the writing style, of blending language and culture and my analysis of it in the text - The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. The story of the Indian English novel is really the story of a changing India. There was a time when education was a rare opportunity and speaking English was unnecessary. The stories were already there- in the myths, in the folklore and the umpteen

literal and figurative destruction of many lives, Roy argues how both obedience and disobedience of these laws will lead to destruction as human’s passion can never be contained by them. As such, by inviting the reader to piece together the puzzle pieces of this critique, the boundaries between the writer and reader is blurred as the reader ‘writes’ the text as well.

helped her mother with the housework.(Roy, 1997, 38) The double standards of the society is further highlighted in the fact that- when the estranged daughter is treated very harshly in the household, is not allowed to take part in the family functions and subjected to demeaning remarks; the estranged son of the same household not only remains the favourite in the family but is also encouraged when he flirts with another woman. Existence of a rigid caste sysem Roy brings the rigid caste system into the

The dominant idiom of Indian writing today is firmly entrenched in pain, anxiety of displacement, nostalgia, yearning to belong to roots, and so on. Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things and Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss are two such novels that explore the tragedy of man on several levels using different perspectives. Both the novels are about averted culture-clash tragedies, homogeneity vs. heterogeneity, and about Indian sensibilities. This paper attempts to examine the fictional projections

Revolvers have been used to depict American rebellion and has become a symbol of the American spirit. Revolvers have a specific, deep connection with the history of the wild west and so an ultimate connection with traditional America. Lichtenstein’s decision to depict a revolver shows that the concentration of the image is directed towards US audiences and the threats posed to them

there have been many art movements that stand out and revolutionize the art world. However, one movement stands out in particular and it is known as Pop Art. Pop Art was invented by a few younger artists by the name of Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtenstein. It was brought about in the 1960s and it helped define a new form of American Realism. Its origin was sort of a lash out against Abstract Expressionism, which was a style of painting. The point of pop art was to represent life as most

The scent of too much perfume and sweaty bodies hung over the crowded dance floor where couples shuffled around to the tunes of Roy Orbison’s “Only the Lonely”. He stumbled around, too preoccupied and too drunk to dance, and she supported him, too lonely to care. She had met him before, a brief introduction in passing, he seemed to have forgotten about it and she did not mind. He was not her kind. Two steps, a turn and a stumble, his hands found their way to her bum. Their hips rubbed together, her
