Nosferatu’s Meaning and Comparisons It’s easy to say that Germany led in experimentation of film making with Murnau’s Nosferatu. Filmed in 1922, it dealt with the outside world effects of post-world war and political uproar. With everything that was going on in Europe at that time, you can see that Germany was scared with what was going to happen to their country, and that’s where Nosferatu is symbolic for Germany. Count Orlok’s characteristics like his hooked nose, long ears, and bushy eyebrows don’t help his innocence.
Inhumane In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, the theme man's inhumanity man relates to cruelty by calling them names, treating them horribly, and making them look the same. Even the Jews in the same barracks fight each other for food, and some people suffocate because they are laying on top of each other. In this quote “Faster you swine”(Wiesel 91). This quote shows the reader how the Nazis treated the Jews when they are marching to Gleiwitz.
In Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, cruelty is what sets the plot in motion. The rejection of the monster by Victor Frankenstein represents the wickedness that is consolidated with human society. The inclusion of cruelty in Frankenstein functions to capture the creature as abandoned by his creator, withdrawn from mundane society, and a victim of the evil nature of humankind, even when he has admirable intentions. Although the novel was written in the 1800s, there is a strong connection between what we understand of how society treats “ugly” people now and how they were treated back then. In the novel, once Victor Frankenstein completed his creation and it was filled with life, he screamed and fled from him.

“It was covered with a film of Paris green sprinkled to kill the rat, and the screech owls had built a nest inside it” (Hurst 353). The tone of the “Scarlet Ibis” is mournful and melancholy from start to finish about a boy who struggled through his life trying to be like his older brother. Through the use of figurative language, imagery, and symbolism James Hurst wove a tale that touched everyone's hearts.
Philip Roth charges Sabbath’s Theater with a multi-faceted type of obscenity. At first, the borderline-psychopathic protagonist, Mickey Sabbath, seems like the archetype of sexual perversion and insatiability; and— what is worse— Sabbath is unfazed by his disgraced state. Yet, even through all his cringing qualities, Sabbath transcends his vices: Roth writes in a manner that prompts sympathy for him. For example, the reader gains insight into his internal hauntings— namely, the death of his brother, who left behind only his good taste in music, and of his mother, whose ghost plagues him.
They were organised by german nazis and the leader of the Nazi party Hitler. There was some survivors of this event and one was named Elie Weisel. He wrote a book about his experience called ‘Night’.

The Holocaust was a dreadful and truly awful time period, people were dehumanized, and shamed into losing their faith while they experienced tragic and awful death and pain. One Jewish survivor documents his experiences with death in his memoir, ‘Night’, Elie Wiesel. The novel is filled with his tales of death, dehumanization, and faith throughout the concentration camp, Auschwitz. In Auschwitz, the Jews lost their innocence that they once had. In the novel, Night, Elie, his father, and his fellow Jews lost their innocence through dehumanization, loss of faith, and experience of death and violence.
He took advantage of the weakened state of Germany, and used his authority for his own personal hatred of Jews and other minorities. In the play Macbeth by Shakespeare, Macbeth also abuses his right to free choice for his own selfish reasons, resulting in a gradual downfall. The play sets in Scotland, during the early 1600’s where Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, is informed of a vision from the witches of him becoming the king of Scotland. This intrigues Macbeth, causing him to stop at nothing to fulfill the prophecy. With some motivation from the witches and his wife, he freely commits several murders and becomes desensitized towards serious matters as well as deranged.
When these two are taken together, one understands the crisis of representation, which is most evident in the Holocaust images. (Figure 3) The absence of faces in the image is the inability of the enframing to contain the horror of the times. The punctum in the image is the bent heads of the old woman and the children that disturbs and destroys the wholeness of the image. The image intensifies the “re-” prefix of re-presentation to such an extent that the absence of the true suffering becomes the melancholy of the image.
Death was almost inevitable due to the kill-all order if the Americans were to win the war, the grotesque conditions the camps were under with rats everywhere, “climbing up his waste basket and wallowing in his urine pail, waking him at night by skittering over his face” (Hillenbrand 187), and the “floor was a thin [straw mat], which would be his bed, with three paper sheets… The walls were flimsy, the floorboards gaped, the ceiling was tarpaper” (Hillenbrand 199). Not to mention that the guards, wanting nothing but the suffering of the enemy internees, would beat the POWs with “such intensity that many of us wondered if we’d ever live to see the end of the war” (Hillenbrand 200). On the other hand, even though Manzanar was completed, “although finished was hardly a word for it. The shacks were built of one thickness of pine planking covered with tarpaper” (Houston 20), the intentions of the camp were as good as they could be considering the circumstances.
This being shown in the scene where Beowulf tries to fight Grendel but cannot understand his language so he asks the witch, “Why won’t he fight me?” and she replies, “why should he, you’ve done nothing to him. ”(Gunnarsson) In our modernized society viewers require more complexity and are not satisfied with characters being classified as simply good and evil. People today know that not everything can be considered black and white.
I hope the rations for bread have finally arrived. We have just driven the Huns back east temporarily, but it has been a dreadful past few weeks in the trenches. I have truly seen hell on earth. Wherever we trod, our legs sink into the repulsive mud and grime up to our waist, we are sinking in the muck, dying in the dirt.

Nazi concentration camps and Japanese internment camps are not essentially the same thing by reasons people moved, the treatment, and conditions. Nazi concentration camps and Japanese internment are not essentially the same thing because they were moved out of different reasons. Hitler had hate against the Jewish people. Hitler thought that Jews were causing most of Germany’s
