Golan Heights

- Catherine’s bed has almost come to symbolize a coffin. It is associated at the beginning with Lockwood and Catherine’s ghost and now is the setting of Heathcliff’s death. This very morbid place was also a symbol of Catherine to Heathcliff while he was still living. It was a very holy place to him and it is fitting that he may finally be at peace there. -Since Catherine Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff has changed, as become evident through his empathy here. He has a scornful attitude towards…

Or what if the person you are interviewing is tall? On a conscious level, I’m sure that all of us don’t think that we treat tall people any differently from short people. But there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that height–particularly in men–does trigger a certain set of very positive, unconscious associations.

Both the film Sunset Boulevard and the novel Haunting of Hill House are set in a gothic setting. I found similarities in how the societies Norma Desmond and Eleanor lived in drove them into their isolated gothic settings. The description of Norma's mansion and the house that Eleanor visits are presented similarly, both displaying gothic characteristics and being isolated from society. In contrast the journey that Norma and Eleanor take is contradictory, as well as their overall goals. The…
