    It is common knowledge that a book is always better than its movie version. This is especially true with the short story, “The Ransom of Red Chief” by O. Henry. He writes this story in an enjoyable way, with realistic events, an understandable plot and, overall it is more organized compared to its movie version. O.

    Sarah, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head when you said Henry was portrayed in a variety of different ways. Shakespeare seems to fundamentally understand how complex humans are, and, therefore, the dissection of one’s decisions should also be complex. Henry is a king who continually looks for ways to win, whether it’s peoples’ opinions of him or a war or Kate’s love. Yet he seems to believe in an honor code that balances his decisions. This shows how many decisions in life are not black or white, but truly exist in the grey.…

    Contrasting character qualities which make up the term “politics” are explored by both composers where, traits mirroring the best and worst aspects of human nature are useful in representing the duality of people. Shakespeare’s play Henry IV Part One is representative of politics through rivalling main characters, Hal and Hotspur, where their specific characterisation is used to reveal varying traits of human nature. Similarly, Villeneuve’s film, Prisoners, represents perceived human duality by establishing a character conflict, parallel to that of Shakespeare’s character construction. Ultimately, composers influence their responders to perceive the best and worst of human nature by utilising juxtaposing persona representations to emphasise…

    Regarding Henry Analysis

    In the film “Regarding Henry”, Henry is a successful lawyer in New York and one night he gets shot in the head and suffers brain injury. The movie follows Henry’s recovery from the gunshot as he relearns how to function as an adult and struggles to remember things from before. After getting shot, Henry experiences a transition from Id to Superego. Before he was shot, his behavior was selfish and instinctive, and after he was shot his behavior showed more morals and was overly ethical. I think Henry’s natural state is the Superego because after he was shot he didn’t have any past memories or outside influences and it revealed his moral side.…

    To outline certain particular parts of human conduct, a clinician by the name of Sigmund Freud exemplified his three sections of what he accepted to be the primary segments of identity through portraying the id, sense of self, and superego. To talk in clear terms, id is the repository of instinctual and natural inclinations. Self image is the "truth rule", and superego is the wellspring of "good guideline" that depends on the wellspring of still, small voice that represses the socially undesirable driving forces of the id. That being stated, we can see these three sections of the identity in Mike Nichols' film Regarding Henry. All through Regarding Henry, the primary character Henry Turner manages two unmistakable parts of his identity—id and…

    Henry IV Part I

    While Henry IV Part I (Henry IV) may seem only a quintessential medieval tale of revelry and victory in battle, as we delve deeper into Shakespeare’s representation of the motivations and actions of its characters we begin to appreciate the latent political messages at play. The story of Henry IV Part I is fundamentally driven by a quest for legitimacy and an examination of what is required of a political leader. These personal and political ideas are similarly present in Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Return of the King, and Vladimir Putin’s New York Times opinion piece, A Plea for Caution From Russia (11/9/2013). The explorations of political philosophy in both/all three texts have been used effectively by each author in their representations…
