This ideology fulfills almost a double standard due to the fact that Hunter S. Thompsons ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ is composed of extremely similar topics and it is considered the cornerstone of the classification.

Genre theory is a break down of different types of films. It is a recipe that is put together to make it a whole.

Without using these symbols, and the many symbols that are in the novel, the book might not have been as thought provoking.
