GOODBYE‚ MR.

more emphasis on Mr Ripley’s thought process. Recently I watched The Talented Mr. Ripley. I believe the film’s purpose was to entertain and keep the viewer involved‚ and it did a great job of doing so. You have no idea what is going to happen next and the plot‚ which was very vivid and alive‚ keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entirety of the film. Despite an exciting plot‚ this film wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be because it needed more emphasis on Mr Ripley’s thought

Socialist playwright‚ George Bernard Shaw wrote the highly controversial play‚ Mrs. Warren ’s Profession. The play was censored and it would take eight years‚ before it was finally produced in London in 1902 for private performance.

Mrs. Warren ’s Profession however‚ presented both an argument and counter-argument

Patricia Highsmith’s unsettling novel‚ ’The Talented Mr Ripley’‚ invites us into the twisted and predatory mind of Tom Ripley. Highsmith utilises a variety of literary techniques to assist in centralising the prominent theme of isolation throughout the novel. The novel hinges on Ripley’s detachment from social norms and ultimately those around with him. Tom Ripley is a solitary drifter and has never belonged anywhere his entire life. Highsmith reveals this through her effective use of setting throughout

One critic argues of Mrs. Warrens Profession that ‘the men are ineffectual or immoral monsters – it is women who carry the play.’ In the light of this view‚ compare and contrast the presentation of men in Mrs. Warrens Profession and An Ideal Husband. Victorian society was almost completely governed by rich‚ aristocratic and immoral men‚ this description forms the central concept for Shaw’s play. He portrays men as immoral and sexually corrupt through his satirisation of the church and the aristocracy

Women in Society and Mrs. Warren ’s Profession The most obvious example of societal morals battling with individual need in Mrs. Warren ’s Profession‚ is the case of Mrs. Kitty Warren. Mrs. Warren is a woman whose economic status and lack of professional skills forced her into becoming a prostitute. A profession such as this is strictly against the beliefs of the society that she lives in. Mrs. Warren ’s Profession‚ infuriates us because it goes to the bottom of our evils because it places
