    I think that Virginia Woolf uses different angles or non-conventional places because she tries to define the kind of life that British people had at the time and this is helpful to understand the context. During Mrs. Dalloway’s day, the characters move through different places in London, frequenting streets or parks. Thus, location becomes important because it remarks the contrast between the characters' public and private selves along with the social classes where they belong. Furthermore, some

    Mr Incredible is the main protagonist of The Incredibles film. He is portrayed as a strong; confident and brave superhero. At first he is strong and independent and likes to “work alone”, but as the film progresses he realises he cannot do everything by himself and needs his family to help him. He is portrayed as strong by viewing him from high angles to make him look taller or bigger than the person he is standing next to or the enemy he is fighting. When Mr Incredible is standing alone or has

    Looking through the whole movie, Ben was confronted by his dramatic question from the beginning to end, which is how to face and start a new life? Instead of solving the problem, he had brought his unruly emotions to his two love relationships with Mrs. Robinson and especially with Elaine, and his bewilderment and confusion were rigorously examined once again in the ending scene. Director Mike Nichols cut the shots back and forth between the medium close up of the two protagonists and a high angle

    In the early 1900s technological advancements began to redefine and replace aspects of society which had previously relied on religious explanation. In ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’, George and Martha, who are representative of more traditional and old-fashioned principles, juxtapose the much younger couple of Nick and Honey. Nick is a biologist, and George is a historian; the contrast poses some poignant questions, as biological advancements at the time the play was written were beginning to

    Parallels exist between Perry Smith in In Cold Blood and Septimus Smith in Mrs Dalloway. Exploring these similarities exposes prominent psychological characteristics. Firstly, both characters struggle to feel. Perry is unremorseful following the Clutter murders, reflecting, “I don’t feel anything about it. I wish I did” (290). Clearly, Perry recognises his emotional reaction is inadequate, but simply cannot feel. Equally, Septimus notices “something failed him; he could not feel” (76). Hence, Perry

In Woolf’s novel, the action of the story takes place within a single day, showing the complexities of post World War I British life through the detailing of Mrs. Dalloway preparing for a party.

    In Mrs. Dalloway, Woolf similarly uses the elite location of Bond Street, as a setting informed by the social hierarchy. Bond Street is where Mrs. Dalloway goes to pick up flowers on the morning of her party. Bradshaw argues that, “in offering to ‘buy flowers for herself’, Clarissa seeks to break free of restrictions of her class, and by choosing to shop on Bond Street she reveals how deeply and damagingly she is bound to them” (237). While approaching the shop, Mrs. Dalloway mused about how “Bond
