The use of sibilance highlights this image which creates a suggestion of graves or bodies which also mirrors the actions of the photographer, who lays out his films in "ordered rows", as though in doing so he can in some way help to restore order to this chaotic world. There is also a contrast in this image “spools of suffering which seems chaotic yet structured. The technique used is varied as sibilance, effects to create a sense of panic, disorder to highlight the violence of war and conflict. Duffy’s skillful yet understated imagery helps to convey the terrible personal stories that lie behind every conflict. Perhaps almost in an attempt to counter the graphic imagery that we have become so used to seeing, her depictions are subtle and understated and she often leaves the reader to

In the entire framework, the other figures are faced towards the bull as it is a peaceful figure in the painting. Furthermore, the surrealistic quality of Neruda and Picasso’s images produce vivid imagery relating to their own personal experiences. The poem and the painting venture into esoteric creations that allows the reader to have multiple interpretations on its meaning. Neruda and Picasso found inspiration from horrific situations that enabled them to enrich their work. The two balance their desire to have a direct, bare style that will attract an audience.

Swanson writes extremely detailed scenes of events that unfolded the night of Lincoln's assassination, and the escape attempt that followed.. He allows us to paint a magnificent picture in our heads with stunning vocabulary and by mentioning the most minute of details that allow each person and location to become tangible. For example, "At all times his eyes were his striking features but when his emotions were aroused they were like living jewels". Swanson could have simply stated that "He had beautiful black eyes", but he takes it one step beyond that to envelop you in the description of this man, to make him more real, and to plant him in reality. Even the tiniest of actions can create a sense of realism: "The actor's black pupils flared wide, adjusting to the darkness, while fixing on the only available light in the dim, claustrophobic chamber...".

The reader gets the impression that the portrait is a representation of Dorian 's inner self, and how it becomes uglier and more disgraceful as time gradually passes and with every horrific crime that he commits, as can be seen in the following quote: “The picture had to be concealed. There was no help for it.” (Wilde 113). The portrait serves as an image of Dorian 's true nature and the relationship between how his soul progressively becomes more nefarious, and how the evil of his soul becomes visible on the painted surface of the canvas. The way Wilde uses the portrait as a motif throughout the story helps the reader to see and understand how Dorian himself is not yet entirely unfettered by the influence of the portrait. As the portrait significantly becomes more hideous, Dorian gradually loses his mind.

Macbeth’s destructive choices propelled the action forward because he was strongly influenced by the manipulations of others around him causing in self destruction. William shakespeare’s restrained play, Macbeth, reveals manipulating forces within relationships through its complex characters and plot interactions.

As the play continues and the plot becomes more complicated, the theme is further developed when Lady Macbeth seduces Macbeth into thinking he has to prove his manhood to her. As the play comes to a close, possession within relationships is refined when Macbeth no longer needs the influence of others, he has become berserk in the commitment to do what he has to do in order to become a forceful

Sarimento attempts to describe Facundo as a villainous outlaw, but moves Facundo character description from being a brutal tyrant to an honest and intellectual ruler. In “A Portrait of Facundo” towards the end of the fifth paragraph he proclaims “He substituted terror for patriotism and self-sacrifice” this entails that Facundo no longer was evil but patriotic and self-discerning. Also Sarimento allows the readers opinion to change. After the seventh paragraph Sarimento provides ab abundant amount of examples to Facundo’s wit. In one way Sarimento presents Facundo giving orders to whip a gaucho because he believes the gaucho is lying about thiefing “ The lashes extorted from the gaucho the confession that he had stolen a yoke of oxen” This

The meaning of symbolistic metaphor expressed incisively and vividly in the six panel illustration narrative of John Cornella’s work. The illustrator crated a character who addicted to follow the trends. We can clearly see the bright color using and funny dots print arrange into a “S” curve in this frame which produced the strong visual effects. The last panel is the climax of story by following the similar phenomenon analogy in above, it looks like the character broken his leg into a creepy L words and express a creepy felling to audience, but actually the illustrator demonstrated into a side way to satirized the people who following blindly and bringing out the people who lost independent thought.

The dark and bold colors they use in their paintings is clearly their way of showing us that we have crazy societal expectations. Even

The Godfather series has always counted on Gordan Willis for its cinematography. He deliberately darkens Marlon Brando’s eyes (Vito Corleone) while lighting up the rest of his face. He does this by lighting his face from above which creates high contrasting shadows over his eyes which make us view him as an enigmatic man. This helps us to discern the personality of the Don, gives us an insight into his sinister and manipulative ways. The use of contrast and the play with light and darkness is fascinating.

Within this book, he wrote that he felt Surrealist artists should “depict a kind of madness or fever in which a thing could look like one thing one moment and like another the next.” To achieve this, several Dali paintings used these ‘double’ images to confuse and disturb people looking at them. An example of where this can be seen within his work is in one of his most prominent pieces of artwork ‘The Persistent of Memory’. This image depicts a watch flopping over what appears to be a strange, paled-coloured rock. Observing the image more closely, nonetheless, it could be suggested that the image is a clear representation of Dali’s personality traits. It is important to remember that his paranoia and anxiety are traits that various people remember him by.

Emphasizing the realities of war, suffering, and grief rather than fleeting victory. Instead of rationalizing the war, and showcasing the good spoils of the war, Turner creates a piece that allows the audience to wallow for a moment in the immense emotion associated with the event.

In The Ghost of a Flea (fig 3), Blake paints a strange animal-human hybrid that is said to have come to the artist in a spiritual vision. This figure is meant as the soul being condemned to reside in the body of a flea.

For Fincher, the sense of evil evolves from the portrayal of the stereotypical “villain” committing acts of mindless violence to an elevated sense of evil with the “villain” meticulously planning and executing his acts to reveal the message he intends for the viewers to uncover. The “sloth scene” depicts the deadly sin that refers to laziness. In this scene Fincher immediately sets the mood with lighting and sound. Fincher sets this scene as gloomy, sad, and depressing with low lights and

In “The Black Cat,” Poe uses diction particularly well to describe his intense feelings of anger and resentment towards Pluto, and in “The Masque of the Red Death,” he employs a powerful use of an extended metaphor to send the previously-mentioned message of, “no one can cheat death,” to the reader. In “The Black Cat,” Poe uses words/phrases of increasing intensity to describe his mounting feelings, such as, “irritable” (4), “malevolence” (5), and “bitterness of hatred” (9). Poe’s use of diction here really helps the reader to understand what the narrator is feeling. In addition, it gives rise to the theme of sanity versus insanity, because Poe’s use of diction focuses on the deterioration of the narrator’s mind, by highlighting his unwarranted hatred of an innocent creature. In “The Masque of the Red Death,” Poe uses an extended metaphor to help convey the theme of fear, and the message about cheating death.

There is one thing in common with all three of these paintings, they capture certain events into one image, even if they are not real. Immediatley Confronting Phineus with the Head of Medusa by Sebastiano Ricci captured my attention when I saw it. Being that it had Greek mythology in it and that it was also an oil painting, I was instantly in shock of how well it was detailed. The

Pablo Picasso and Francisco de Goya were both prolific artists of their times, offering works of great visual travesty of the glories of warfare and bloody victory. Goya was a lifelong rebel. A libertarian opposed to all sorts of tyranny, the Spanish artist began as a semi-Rococo designer for tapestries. Then he became painter to Charles IV of Spain, whose court was known for corruption and repression. Goya’s observations of the inhumane royal court and the prejudices of the church turned him into a bitter recluse satirist, is the use of irony, humor, ridicule, sarcasm and exaggeration to criticize or show the stupidity or vices of people, particularly in the context of politics and other newsworthy issues.
