Yet the distinct differences between them also affect the plots to an extent to which the suspense in the movie is less compared to the novel. Although the differences greatly alter the two, it makes each of them unique and exclusive from each other. Despite these differences, there is one theme that links both the novel and the movie together: that people with different personalities, interests, and appearances are also the same to each other. The book shows more examples of this theme than the movie, making the novel more understanding to other individuals than the film itself. Because of this, we would recommend the book and film to those who experience a likeliness to the conflicts in each storyline, such as a fight between two different social

What Edward realized does not matter. What matters is the fact that realizing who you are and what you want to do makes the pain of puberty go away.

‘ “(33). Throughout the book, Bella continues to perform very small, but significant, selfless acts that define her character. Many of these acts are displayed on behalf of Edward Cullen, even before she knows he is a vampire.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula, is a classic that has been enjoyed by readers for many years. It is one that involves fantasy, gore and even has the potential of scaring readers. It is a story that has been enjoyed and feared by readers for centuries. With that said, even though it is commonly known as a classic horror novel, it can also be seen as an erotica. Throughout the novel, Stoker incorporates sexual scenes, and scenes of desire that may or may not capture readers’ attention due to the presence of horror.
No, I think it was an exploration of what life would be like, without control. Yes, humans should be allowed to live free and be who they are, but there is a level of control we learn as infants and children to control our urges. We learn to have a tight rein on our urges for violence, glutton, and sex. It is something we inherit and learn from those around us.
The film Twilight has been the ideal teenage fantasy of the 21st century since the series started and was then adapted into a four-film franchise. How does this movie portray the ideals of masochism and glorify them to young adults who grew up with this book and movie? Through extensive research through scholarly articles, I have discovered that many believe the Twilight movies and books exhibit a number of pro-masochistic ideals and aim them towards the target teenage audience of this series. As someone who grew up admiring and glamorizing this book and film series, I am able to shed light on what the female teenage audience might have been feeling and thinking while watching and analyzing this movie and its masochistic tones throughout.
In the beginning of the book, Edward Cullen is a very restrained person that wants to get away form Bella Swan. A quote in the book that really inrigued me to my theme was, “Edward’s back stiffens and he turns slowly to glare at me.” This
In the novel Dracula, Bram Stoker highlights the theme of sexuality that challenge ideas of sex to both the female and male characters. The author objectifies the female characters in the novel to be over sexualized and portrays sex to empower women. Stoker may present the theme of female sexuality; however, he demonstrates gender inequality triumphs at the end leaving women in the shadows again. Women in the eighteenth century hardly had any type of power outside of overseeing the household and they probably contained much less power expressing any type of sexual emotions. Stoker’s novel gives readers a different perspective of the female sexuality as if almost empowering women and stating that they too can be sexual creatures like men.
Del Toro and Hogan explanation for the appeal of vampires in contemporary culture is described that vampires are sensual and liberated creatures who live forever. Vampires were shown as cannibal creatures who still live off of human blood and need for human lust. Anyhow, the appeal has changed through time and geography since it now comes in multiple structures, for instance, “soap opera storylines, sexual liberation, noir detective fictions, etc.” (Del Toro and Hogan, par. 11). The appeal of vampires has remained consistent in the style by which society is up until now fascinated with the possibility of eternality.

The shows I listened to were Suspense and Dark Fantasy. Suspense was a CBS radio drama that ran from 14942 to 1962 and Dark Fantasy was a short lived suspense/thriller anthology series that debut on WKY, a radio station based on Oklahoma, and then played on Fridays nights on NBC stations. The series lasted from 1941-1942. Suspense and Dark Fantasy both presented mysterious, suspenseful and dramatic content meant to enthrall and entertain audiences, Suspense was even considered a part of the “golden age of radio” and featured the most popular Hollywood actors and actresses of its time. I was not only captivated by the content, but I thoroughly enjoyed the flexibility it gave me.
During the Victorian period in which Dracula was written, morals and ethics were often strictly enforced. Some of the morals that were upheld had to do with personal duty, hard work, honesty, as well as sexual proprietary. It was very important during this period that one was proper in their sexual behaviors and conventional in whom they had sexual relations with. However, during this period, many authors sought to challenge the ‘norm’ with ideas of reform and change and Bram Stoker was no exception to this. In his novel, Dracula, Stoker provides a critique of this rigidity in his portrayal of Dracula and Dracula’s relationship with Jonathan Harker.
