Subplot

The Hunger Games the Ethical Struggle Once upon a time in the long distance future in the nation of Panem (actually the US if someone thinks about it) there was a rebellion. The rebellion was between the Capital and District Thirteen and with that District Thirteen was demolished. To display the Capital’s force they decided to force each district to offer one male and one female to participate in a gladiator type game where only one survived. “May the odds ever be with you” is a saying that…

The slaves are able to laugh and have fun during the night (often through storytelling and music), in spite of the sadistic treatment that they face on a day-to-day basis. The film’s subplot of the characters of Shola and Shango demonstrate how a strong emotional bond between human beings can help an individual survive what otherwise would be a miserable existence. In fact, the harsher and crueler the slaves are treated, the more unified…

The idea of the depression within the novel fits perfectly in introducing some significant issues that Allie experiences. In fact the author Mary Ann Hoberman, is able to fill the novel with a ton of issues that children face as they grow up into adults. The setting of the depression is important but the idea of depression as an emotional state is also significant in this novel. One character in particular that has been through the emotional stress that is depression is Meme. This is a brave…

not black and white, but actually rather more blended, his films are more ‘gray’, if we have to put it into words. And more importantly is that, unlike Disney with their ‘happy ever after’ that is always the result of a romance (or with a romance subplot like in their film Frozen), Miyazaki manages give a more realistic, broader and natural happy ending to his films, and a more accurate representation of the female genre.…

There is something like a subplot involving the love story of Mangalu and Sonaphuli, man-servant and maid-servant in the houses of the hero and the heroine, respectively. This subsidiary story of love between two unsophisticated persons appears to have been included as a sort of comic…

he leaves behind his wife and son, and ten years after the ten-year long war, he still has not returned home yet. Although the central plot of Homer’s Odyssey follows Odysseus and his quest back home, another powerful message reveals itself in the subplot regarding Telemachus, Odysseus’s twenty-year old son. As the man of the house, he has to take on the responsibility of running the household and defending his mother Penelope and himself from the dangerous appetites of the hundreds of suitors…

There is something truly rewarding as a movie fan, when a talented actor, good and entertaining in a number of roles, finally breaks out and taps into greatness. In Matt Spicer's feature film debut, Ingrid Goes West, Aubrey Plaza gives her finest performance yet as a woman caught up in the instant gratification world of social media. In a role that could be full of formulaic meltdowns and tired cinematic tropes, she creates a character who is selfish and dangerous, yet generates empathy and…

Wachowskis (directors) used the technology at hand to their advantage to easily demonstrate multiple philosophical theories and make them simple for the viewer to understand. One of the first philosophical theories to be given is also one of the main subplots of the movie, Rene Descartes’ ‘Methodological Doubt’ which essentially questions if this world is real. When Descartes said “I think; therefore I am”, he meant that without a doubt he himself was at least real but everything else could be…

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is set in the fictional southern town of Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression.

Throughout the novel, many themes become prevalent in the actions of the Maycomb people. One of…

For anyone who sat through the insufferable and laughable Ouija in 2014, you experienced a film that relied almost exclusively on jump scares, whizz-bang noises, and some of the most stilted acting and wooden dialogue this decade. The film's reliance on the "Lewton Bus" tactic, where we brace ourselves for something to scare us only to have something else reveal itself in that very moment, was used so much the movie became a joke in and of itself. And yes, sitting in the theater, I looked…
