527 Words | 3 Pages

In the 1600 a large group of very religious people left their homes and went to the New World.

Summary Of The Witch's Hammer

The Witch’s Hammer is another name for a manual known as the Malleus Maleficarum. This manual was written by Heinrich Kramer in 1486.

Both Kramer and Sprenger were from the Dominican Monastatic Order. The goal of this manual was to eradicate heretics, including those who followed the Catholic faith but denied the existence of witchcraft or professed to be Catholic but practiced witchcraft.

She illustrates the deconstruction of manners and grapples with the pretenses under which we are polite within society. This play is the demolition of taught human behavior.

From making fun of Greta Neff’s accent and appearance (26), with the novel’s narrator later acknowledging that “her accent was never as bad as the people poking fun of it would have had you believe” (289), to their lack of interest in their children, such as when they talk about how they must “either go home to make their suppers or at least phone the house to put the oldest daughter in charge” (102) but do not actually do so, to Alexandra’s murder of the squirrel (220), which occurs not as part of a spell or for a greater purpose but just because Alexandra can, the three women appear cruel and selfish.

V For Vendetta

I found an interesting book called ‘Imperfect worlds and dystopian narratives in contemporary cinema’. In one of the studies by Ludmila Gruszewska-Balaim ‘Against the culture of fear: terror and romance in V for Vendetta’, she talks about how V for Vendetta echoes modern terrorism.
