I also noticed another similarity which is that they both used pathos as the key strategy to selling their product or information. Since pathos appeals to emotion, the older advertisement appealed using seduction and desire to get the reader’s attention to buy cigarettes.

presents her-self as mortal, as tempted rather than tempter” (Grudin 137). However, Matilda is the tempter and therefore monstrous because she desires that the painting of her depicted as Madonna is to be hung in Ambrosio’s room. Therefore, Matilda’s seduction of Ambrosio causes his destruction into a monster, which results in Antonia’s destruction. This perverse and anti-Catholic monster appears when Ambrosio views the painting: “Were I permitted,” he sighs, “to twine round my fingers those…

Mary Astell, an English feminist writer from the late 1600s, wrote that,” If all Men are born free, how is it that all women are born Slaves?” in her book Some Reflections upon Marriages.

When he was younger, he would sing the national anthem, “Lets walk together and sacrifice our lived. Blood debt must be paid by blood.” (Lam, 3), every morning with white shirt and blue shorts.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, is a cautionary tale that demonstrates the risks of critical reflection on art, culture, and the nature of humans when clouded by the ideals of beauty and eternal youth. Through the story focused on hedonistic moral values and chaos, Wilde is able to establish a world, much different from the one known today, in which language, ritual, and morals have no profound effects on the characters, instead fabricating a setting in which men who are ordered to…

In this evaluation I will be looking at how semiotics, ideology and visual signifiers all link in to both media as well as our society as a whole, and how that has supported me in my journey of creating a truly gender neutral/non biased product packaging that is suitable and appealing towards my target audience. I have looked at a multitude of examples in my research that have shed light on why society has so many constricting boundaries, and how I needed to approach these issues with an outcome…
