It would be wrong to solely consider this a romance film, even though the conventions of the romance genre are greatly emphasised. Corpse Bride includes characteristics of a musical and a horror film. This…

Parched means being “extremely thirsty” or one can say that something is bereft of moisture or water that it needs, and that is exactly what the film, Parched, is about. Parched is directed by Leena Yadav and Russell Carpenter is the cinematographer (Sharma). The film is about having a desperate desire for love, freedom, and sex, but being not permitted to have such thoughts because it is against the “custom” or the “norm”. Parched is a bittersweet tale about four women living undesired lives,…

Every book is the same with only small differences. A story always consists of a problem and some sort of hero that has to solve it. In the monster classics Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, and Grendel, by John Gardner, a paralyzing monster inhabits countries in Europe. The creatures can communicate in the people’s native language, but their appearance always restricts their human attributes. The novels Frankenstein and Grendel follow similar structures in their female characters, language, and…

Mary Shelley’s life is death…

In Ecclesiastes 7:13, it states, “Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what he has made crooked?” Although the Bible asked for religion to be superior to science, there has never been a balance. By creating the monster, Victor disrupted the scale even more. Instead of allowing for imperfections, Victor thirsted for more knowledge because, in his mind, knowledge was equivalent with godliness. Driven by his pride and hubris, he strove to create the perfect man…

According to Aristotle, a tragedy includes a mixture of pity, fear, and emotions that embody the character. Most…
