Modern Times stars the Tramp. He is a little fellow alone in a nascent society of other immigrants and vagabonds and petty miscreants. Now a factory worker, the Tramp is an Everyman, and his antagonist is society itself. The enemy is named in the movie's title. This movie was Society and the movement of modern technology tower over the common man, making humans only appendages of machines. For example, the "Billows Feeding Machine" sequence, for instance. Thanks to a mechanical salesman that speaks

Bart: a daring, wild, rambunctious western cowboy. He’s a man primed to prove himself and save the day. He’s a man seeking vengeance, but also seeking humor. What’s so special about him though? What makes him different than every other cowboy? The answers to those two questions are the same – Bart is African American. Bart, the leading protagonist in Mel Brooks’ 1974 film Blazing Saddles, is an unlikely hero in the Wild West. Through a lucky series of events, Bart catapults from his life as a subservient

Edna and her husband, Léonce, have a marriage that lacks affection and adventure. Edna personality is much different than what was expected of the typical New Orleans woman of that time. She is more independent, outgoing, and bold than the women of her time, which is something that Léonce does not necessarily see as acceptable for his wife.

Edna urges that there is no money but solely for rent. “You got two blondie kids…they need food and clothes” (Odets 9).

every story is so successful. In Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening”, Edna Pontellier finds herself fighting this very battle that, although begins with a positive outlook, ultimately ends in her demise.

Hardship and loss of freedom comes to mind as I think about an immigrant black woman. If they had other forms of persuasion other then the “glamour” or positive side of England that they heard about through tales, would they less enthused and reluctant of being the follower.
