Wharton Starkfield Red
In much the same way as Theodore Dreiser, Edith Wharton sets her themes on isolation, despair, hopelessness, and bad relationships. She does this with a poetic flair that belies her work in that genre. Winter is used to show the bleakness and the unforgiving nature of the elements. For example, "Here the snow was so pure that the tiny tracks of wood-animals had left on it intricate lace-like patterns, and the bluish cones caught in its surface stood out like ornaments of bronze. " Wharton's cont...

D W Griffith Birth Of A Nation
Film Criticism There are several approaches to the film criticism and each approach provides us with certain information about the movie. Altogether, these approaches allow us to construct a complete characteristic or critique of a film and make it possible to understand better its meaning and its symbolism. In my opinion, semiological approach would be the best in showing information hidden in the movie on that subconscious level, which makes that special impact on the viewer. The word semiolog...

Book Ethan Scene

The book was more in depth and in tune to the basic part of the story, while the movie was written in a way to expand the length. The book did not always move at a steady pace, as did the movie. However, the novel allowed us to portray our own version of the characters in our own mind. I did not like the way that the characters we over exaggerated. I did not picture, in my mind, Ethan Frome with that noti...
