Charles Foster Kane was a man with an enormous amount of wealth and clout. He had it all, money, women, anything he could possibly want. But for a man who seems like he has everything, in reality he is missing one of the only things that money can’t buy, his childhood and happiness.

High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are two short but amazing stories. They tell a story dependent on isolation and a feeling of being alone to the person reading and watching them. High Noon is a movie that is the literal representation of being alone with no one on your side. The Most Dangerous Game is a story that paints a picture of instinct in your mind. Both stories allow for an adventure of thoughts and speculation of what might happen next.

But whether this will happen is doubtful as the plot emerges, for the drama is heightened and the value of courage is emphasized even more when Sheriff Kane and his new bride take the advice of Henderson and leave town in order to avoid a fatal confrontation with the vicious outlaw gang. There are many philosophical themes in High Noon, but the dominant one is that people must not give in to their fear, they must master it. If they don’t the price may be higher than it would have been had they taken a stand. Duty to one’s family and community is of course also important, but mastering one’s fears is of fundamental importance, for little else can be achieved if fear wins. Kane searches his soul out

The Russian Revolution and the purges of Leninist and Stalinist Russia have spawned a literary output that is as diverse as it is voluminous. Darkness at Noon, a novel detailing the infamous Moscow Show Trials, conducted during the reign of Joseph Stalin is Arthur Koestler’s commentary upon the event that was yet another attempt by Stalin to silence his critics. In the novel, Koestler expounds upon Marxism, and the reason why a movement that had as its aim the “regeneration of mankind, should issue in its enslavement” and how, in spite of its drawbacks, it still held an appeal for intellectuals. It is for this reason that Koestler may have attempted “not to solve but to expose” the shortcomings of this political system and by doing so

Kane, the main character in High Noon is a Hero. He didn't slay dragons or walk through fire. He didn’t conquer the world or go on an adventurous quest. However, he did something most people are afraid to do. He stood up for what he believed in regardless of whether he stood alone. Made by Carl Foreman, this movie contained a marshal named Kane. News went around town that Frank Miller, a criminal Kane put in prison a while back, was coming to town on the noon train to get his revenge. Instead of leaving town, he decided to stay and fight. He turned to the townspeople for help, but none lifted a finger. They were all concerned for their own safety. Nevertheless, despite all of the pleas from the people and his wife for him to leave town, Kane’s plans remain unchanged. Kane was not a hero like Thor, or Wonder Woman, but the type of hero from real life; one who stood up for what he believed in, even if he stood alone.

Everyone in life has his or her own individual struggles that can impact his or her daily life and can change the way he or she has to live his or her life. In the novels The Sun Also Rises (1926) by Ernest Hemingway and The Remains of the Day (1989) by Kazuo Ishiguro, the main characters share the struggle of impotence. The word impotent has two different definitions, one being the inability to take effective action, or helplessness. The second meaning is the inability for a man to have sex. No matter which type of impotence a person may have, it can be a daily struggle for anyone affected by it, which is displayed in both novels. The two novels share a common theme of impotence that not only affects their characters’ lives, but also the

In That Evening Sun, William Faulkner approaches the story through an anecdotal style that gives meaning to the story. The narrator uses the anecdote that happened to him to convey the story’s underlying meaning that people are restricted by social class and race, not realizing this meaning himself at the time. The era of racism pertains to the meaning of the story, discussing the aversion of southern white people to help those different from them, focusing on the restrictions that society has placed on social class and race separation and the desire to maintain the division.

“That Evening Sun” by William Faulkner is a good example of a great emotional turmoil transferred directly to the readers through the words of a narrator who does not seem to grasp the severity of the turmoil. It is a story of an African American laundress who lives in the fear of her common-law husband Jesus who suspects her of carrying a white man's child in her womb and seems hell bent on killing her.

In “The Story of an Hour” (1894), Kate Chopin presents a woman in the last hour of her life and the emotional and psychological changes that occur upon hearing of her husbands’ death. Chopin sends the protagonist, Mrs. Mallard, on a roller coaster of emotional up’s and down’s, and self-actualizing psychological hairpin turns, which is all set in motion by the news of her husband’s death. This extreme “joy ride” comes to an abrupt and ultimately final halt for Mrs. Mallard when she sees her husband walk through the door unscathed. Chopin ends her short story ambiguously with the death of Mrs. Mallard, imploring her reader to determine the true cause of her death.
