dark truth about himself to his community is the most successful way of suppressing his guilt, which is partly because of the nature of his guilt –that he was not punished and only Hester was. Briony also ‘confessed’ through her novel, but is mainly able to successfully atone herself by allowing Cecilia and Robbie the happy ‘Hollywood’ ending that she prevented. In contrary to what others might think about her novel (many viewers, including myself, feel that her novel is selfish –it is only to make herself feel better), Briony herself is content and feels that she has made things better by writing the novel –during her interview, she says with confidence, “I gave them their happiness” and that this was her “final act of kindness”. However, Wright shows us through the parallel costume of the 13 year old and 77 year old Briony, that despite all her years and efforts of atonement, she feels some ties to her past and her sin, suggesting that she feels traces of her guilt still. Although both Dimmesdale and Briony achieve some degree of atonement, it is important to note that they only achieve this close to their death. Dimmesdale dies immediately after his confession due to the deterioration of his health as a result of his self-punishments. Likewise, Briony publishes her novel while dying from vascular dementia. It is unfortunate that even those that are successful at repressing their guilt cannot enjoy it for long. In all four texts, the characters’ lives are strongly…

This led me to think how does childhood trauma affect people as adults? Through this inquiry I developed three key questions, what is the age or ages that a child is most affected? What are the causes of trauma? And, what are the long-term effects of trauma? My hypothesis is that through my research I will find that childhood trauma has both subtle…

Upon watching the terrific film Pride & Prejudice by Joe Wright based off the book by Jane Austen. One’s initial feedback is instantly to talk about how it significantly captured a good example of a household, romance, the beginnings of love and life. One may also overlook that it has a handful of psychological theories. Change appears in the context of a relationship excessive enough to agitate the habit of personality to obligation. The change-causing relationship is put together in an order…
