The poem "Evening" by H.D. describes the fading light of evening passing from flower to flower and ridge to ridge in nature. As the light dims, the blue hepatica flowers bend their petals inward towards their hearts and fade from view. The white cornel buds remain but shadows start to emerge from the cornel roots and spread, causing individual leaves and their shadows to disappear into the darkness. The poem captures the imagery of sunset through natural images like flowers, buds, leaves and spreading shadows. It exemplifies the Imagist style through its use of free verse and focus on vivid sensory images to describe the scene.

Slouching
Joan Didion's 1968 essay collection "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" uses a loose polyphonic structure to provide snapshots of countercultural life in California during the 1960s. Through brief portraits of troubled youth interspersed with analysis, Didion depicts a disorienting scene of casual drug use, abandoned homes, and lost children. While gaining intimate access through her unobtrusive presence, Didion aims to convey what it was like amongst those she wrote about, adopting their language. The collection aims to show that the social turmoil of the time stemmed not from revolution but from a self-destructive nihilism lacking an ability to articulate its causes.

Hieronymus Bosch was a 15th century Dutch painter known for his triptychs, most famously The Garden of Earthly Delights. He was an innovative draftsman and one of the first artists to produce distinctive sketches in Northern Europe. Bosch did self-portraits to avoid being pigeonholed as an "Indian artist" and wanted to create his own style rather than traditional Native American art. Martin Handford created the Where's Waldo? book series featuring intricate crowdscenes. Waldo became a character added to link the scenes, growing more popular than the crowds themselves. The books have sold over 43 million copies worldwide in 33 countries and 22 languages.

As the marriages do not have perfect fairytale endings, Middlemarch deals with the theme of failed

Mirror by sylvia plath
Sylvia Plath was born in 1932 in Massachusetts. She married Ted Hughes in 1956.
The poem describes a mirror that sees objects impartially without judgment. It reflects a woman searching her reflection for who she truly is. As she ages, she does not like what she sees and relies on candles or the moon for comfort rather than accepting the mirror's truthful reflection. Each morning, an old woman replaces the darkness, as her youth has drowned in the mirror and aging rises towards her.
The poem explores the pain that comes with losing youth and innocence, as society values beauty over truth. The mirror provides an unbiased reflection regardless of whether one likes what they see.
Emperor jones
The document discusses expressionism in theatre and its use in the play Emperor Jones by Eugene O'Neill. Expressionism aims to represent the inner psyche on stage through symbols, short sentences, monologues and other techniques. In Emperor Jones, O'Neill depicts the protagonist Jones regressing into the unconscious levels of his mind as he travels through the jungle after escaping from prison. Jung's theories of the collective unconscious influencing innate human fears through ancestral memories is also discussed. Specific symbols in Emperor Jones like the beating of a tom-tom drum and a fabricated story of a silver bullet represent Jones' increasing fears and his struggle with his racial identity as a black man.
The Male Gaze Theory
Laura Mulvey's 1975 essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" introduced the concept of the "male gaze" to describe how films typically adopt the perspective of the heterosexual male viewer. Mulvey argues that films are constructed based on patriarchal ideals that portray women as sexual objects to be looked at. Traditionally, films give men active roles that drive the narrative, while women play more passive roles as erotic objects that slow down the plot. The male gaze results in the objectification and stereotyping of women in cinema for the visual pleasure of male audiences.

Concept of Love and Death in W. H. Auden's Poetry
Auden is a realist in that he understands poetry might not directly influence anything, but its habit of calling things by their real names (the sun, the law, death, love) can bring us into a better relationship with reality. He doesn’t give the readers the fairy-tale like happily-ever-afters rather he shows them the real picture of life that comes to an end, eventually, no matter what one does.

'Evening' by Hilda doolittle (H.D)
- 2. Eveningtext The light passes from ridge to ridge, from flower to flower— the hepaticas, wide-spread under the light grow faint— the petals reach inward, the blue tips bend toward the bluer heart and the flowers are lost. The cornel-buds are still white, but shadows dart from the cornel-roots— black creeps from root to root, each leaf cuts another leaf on the grass, shadow seeks shadow, then both leaf and leaf-shadow are lost.
