.... are non existent. In the novel, readers can clearly notice how Piggy feels and that he is being treated as an "Outsider" but, in the film version it restricts the audience's comprehension of Piggy's emotions. Similarly, other characters such as Simon and Roger are so unclear in the movie that they may puzzle viewers because the movie fails to distinguish their role. The cinema is unsuccessful in establishing Simon as a "Christ" figure and Roger's murderous nature. On the other hand, the novel installs all these ideas and allows the reader to use their creativity. Therefore, due to the film's inability to give audiences more information about the .....

.... in battle truly entails: the desolation, the devastation, the barbarity, and the terrible suffering. There is no honour whatsoever in military combat here. "Idomeneus stabbed Erymas in the mouth with the pitiless bronze, so that the brazen sperhead smashed its way clean through below the brain in an upward stroke, and the white bones splintered, and the teeth were shaken out with the stroke and both eyes filled up with blood, and gaping he blew a spray of blood through the nostrils and through his mouth, and death in a dark mist closed round about him. (16.345-350)" "Now Dekalion was struck in the arm, at a place in the elbow where the tendons come .....

.... of his plots to set one brother against another, Richard seems socially apart from the figures around him, and perhaps regarded as an outsider or ostracized because of his deformity. His separation from is family is emphasized when he says "Dive, thought's down to my soul" when he sees his brother approaching. He is unable to share his thought with his own family as he is plotting against them. Thus, we are given hints of his physical, social and spiritual isolation which is developed throughout the play. But despite these hints, he still refers to himself as part of the House of York, shown in the repeated use of "Our". The concept of Richard's ph .....

.... and also the things she does not have which are apparent in the world of the other. We see first see the contrast of old world/old age versus new world/age when Marshall is describing her grandmother's attire and appearance when she and her family first arrive in Barbados. Marshall describes these two properties with this quote: "…the light in the long severe old-fashioned white dress she wore which brought the sense of a past that was still alive in our bustling present and in the snatch of white at her eye; the darkness in her black high-top shoes and in her face which was visible now that she was closer (349)". In this description, Marshall cr .....

.... their own "flaws", is thought to be more fisable. Walker combines all of these issues in her story in a deceptive way. They all are linked together by way of a semi-believable story line with one major overlaying theme. Prescott sums it up nicely, "Love redeems, meanness kills"(p74). This is illustrated in many ways in Walker's novel. One perfect example of this is Mr. _____. Mr. _____, as he is called throughout the novel, was a wife beater, who, having been denied Celie's sister, marries Celie to look after his children. He beats her and rapes her and is just plain nasty to her. Finally, one day, after Celie discovers another mean thing t .....

.... When Proctor told Abigail that the relationship could no longer continue, the girl became angry and did not accept this. In order to prove Abigail’s sinfulness and to discredit her in front of the court, Proctor proclaimed that he had an affair with this evil whore. This outraged the court officials and they summoned Elizabeth Proctor to find the truth. When asked about her husband, Elizabeth’s soul was twisted, for revealing the truth could destroy her husband’s reputation, but lying meant breaking her solemn oath to God. Because she was noble to her husband, Elizabeth chose to lie and save her husband, but perhaps condemn herself to h .....

.... While in a taxi, they see the slaughterhouse where they had been kept as prisoners during World War II. We are slowly introduced to Billy Pilgrim, who was born in Illium, New York, in 1922. He is tall and weak, and not ambitious. He became rich partly by his good fortune an partly because he marries a rich woman. Billy was in the infantry in Europe in World War II as a chaplain's assistant. He was taken prisoner by the Germans, and kept in the slaughterhouse along with Vonnegut in Dresden. He survived the Allied bombing along with Vonnegut only because the meat locker where he was kept was underground. Billy's time-tripping, .....

.... an upper-class suburb, had a Ph.D. and once lectured at university. Because of her suburban upbringing and education she was a confident and independent lady who relied on no-one. She was the more dominant person in their marriage whereas in The Good corn Mr. Mortimer was the dominant partner. In The Good Corn when Mrs. Mortimer discovered that Elsie was pregnant she was at first upset but later realised what a blessing the whole situation was, she had been longing for a child for so long and was hoping that Elsie would give the baby to her. Mrs. Mortimer was not overly upset with Mr. Mortimer because she felt that because she was in a depressed .....

.... filming outdoors create a symbolic message. A portion of the scenes before the beginning of the witchcraft trials is seen in a downpour of rain, possibly foreshadowing doom and dreariness to come. There were some scenes added or adapted in the movie as opposed to the play. First, the large group of "stricken" girls, which indeed had a greater number than did the group in the play, left the church meeting at the beginning of the movie to see about Betty's condition. Betty seemed to be much more violent in the movie and she tried to jump out of the window, which did not occur in the play. These details were most likely added to augment the idea of "mas .....
