Hitchcock’s Psycho, from ‘Inside Norman Bates’ and ‘The World Inside Its Image’ The benchmark of horror films could easily be Hitchcock’s most revered work ‘Psycho’ (1960). The black and white filmscape does not downplay the crimson colour of blood spiralling down the plughole after Marion’s fatal stabbing, nor the shock of Norman’s mothers sunken eye sockets. It’s 2015 and this is the first time I have properly been introduced to the film however as a testament to its making I had nightmares…

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho, and Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, each played the character portrayed as mentally unstable. The two actors seamlessly fell into their parts and led the audience to believe they were truly insane. In the beginning, each of the two lived what appeared to be normal lives. Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close…

for him with a horse for his getaway, and Flambard rode to safety away from the Tower of London. Two more prisoners of the Tower of London that are well known are Edward V and Richard, his younger brother, and these brothers were sons of King Edward IV. They were sent to the tower by their uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, in 1483 after they were determined to be illegitimate. Since the brothers were declared illegitimate, the Duke of Gloucester was crowned King Richard III. After the brothers were…

Although, as Richard the Third, both Laurence Olivier and Benedict Cumberbatch speak straight to the camera in a fashion that makes the viewer feel as if they are complicit in their plots and schemes, and although both costumes show physical indications of Richard’s deformity, the two portrayals tell a considerably different story about Richard’s wicked origins. Laurence Olivier’s Richard is an infamous legend; the film does its best to tell a story about one of many in search of the English…

group of advisors who probably became too attached to their power for them to completely give it up when Henry came of age. He was well-educated and loved to read and learn, but was unfortunately not very clever (Weir, 91). His sheltered childhood led him to be dominated by his advisors, and did whatever his favourites told him to, including marrying Margaret of Anjou, a Queen “Not worth 10 marks,” both because of her lack of a proper dowry, and her French nationality (Weir). Henry had “a…

This chronicle of the third crusade is controversial, despite its accuracy and the many details it contains. There is indeed a dispute over who wrote it and when. Nonetheless, the depiction of Richard I in the text is absolutely laudatory. Richard is presented as the perfect knight, from the most noble birth, with a perfect complexion, outstanding military skills and a genuine piety. Next to this model of perfection, the French king, Philip II, is almost invisible. This chronicle is thus an…

reader a sign of immaturity within Henry. Henry seen as immature has a negative affect on how he is viewed as a leader. If Henry’s people, see him as immature it can lead to suspicions he has not grown out of his old ways. (His old ways being in “Henry IV”, where henry is seen often drunk, sleeping around, along with being a theft and a liar). Shakespeare strategically uses Henry consistent need to assign blame as a symbol for immaturity. Henry not being full mature gives an impression to the…

Man's Folly Shakespeare keenly describes the paradigm of English rule during the middle ages up to the renaissance. John of Gaunt describes England as a garden, this I believe was a statement that was directed toward the monarchy and the current "status" of the king, having soiled the kingship of many kings before him. The great folly of man has always been him seeing himself as "God" on earth, and thusly acting in the, "interest of God", when in reality he is justifying his own gain by…
