The Man in the High Castle

I’d visited Lewes once before. Bonfire Night, 2002, aged 4, ears stuffed with cotton wool and potential pyromania growing within. From that, one can understand my intrigue when it was described as “a genteel town” by David James Smith for The Sunday Times - quite the opposite to how I’d perceived it! I had to see it to believe it. I travelled by bus from the nearby city of Brighton and Hove, to enter Lewes like a local. Trying to look sophisticated, in the sea of briefcase gripping…

namely his brother Allie and his old friend Mr. Antolini. It can’t be a coincidence that the people Holden admires happen to embody ideal traits on which Holden expresses self-doubt. Salinger uses the description of characters that Holden holds in high regard to represent key traits that Holden is insecure about. Holden admires Allie for his stunning intelligence, which he doesn’t find…

Holmes. The World’s Fair was also filled with so many people, that it was likely no one would notice if somebody went missing. He killed these people in a building he advertised as the World’s Fair Hotel. It was not a hotel but an intricate murder castle filled with different ways to kill his victims. Holmes was interested in medicine from a very early age and implicated that later in life when he lived in Chicago and ran a drugstore. He was eventually…

throughout the play, from MacBeth’s introductory quote (above), to the final events that bring him to his ultimate downfall. I will elucidate the importance of the theme by examining the witches and their prophecies, the actions that transpire at MacBeth’s castle, the parallels viewed by Lady MacBeth and Lady MacDuff, the intriguing discussion between Malcolm and MacDuff, and finally, the contributing impact of the apparitions. The witches and their prophecies contribute to the theme early…

About twenty-seven years ago, Johnny Depp played the main role in one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the 20th century. Edward Scissorhands is a film directed by Tim Burton. It is a story about an artificial man named Edward-an unfinished creation who has scissors for hands. The main themes behind the film deal with self-discovery and isolation. Tim Burton uses a point-of-view shot which pans from the grandmother’s house and sweeps over the cookie cutter suburbs, ending with a new…

A true knight of the round table was defined by his honor and his ability to be a noble warrior. To be commended in such high prestige, one had to abide by a strict code of ethics. This code of chivalry included perseverance, courage, humility, respect, courtesy, and loyalty.

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a newly appointed knight of King Arthur’s court aspires to follow the…

When the night fell and the ambitious couple went forth with their deceitful act, Mother Nature became “unruly” (2.3.50)…

as a status symbol. If you lived close to the castle, it would mean you would be a high ranking warrior. These castles had a chinese vibe to them because the Japanese originated from there. They are usually pagodas, which are a religious structure and Asia has a big buddhist following. Further increasing their importance with the buildings and giving more a reason to take them down. It served them well since it gave hospitality to the wounded. Castles would conventionally have walls and moats…
