Amy And Nick Dunne: A Character Analysis

The film that I chose to watch is Frankie and Alice. The true story of a go-go dancer in Los Angeles in the 1970’s. The story explores the character of an African American young lady name Frankie who experiences bouts of blackouts. When she comes too, she does not recall anything that has happened and usually finds herself in the custody of the police. On several occasions Frankie is taken to the psychiatric hospital. Because Frankie does not pose an imminent threat and have no medical urgency, she is usually discharged after a short assessment and even shorter observation.

Stated by Bradbury in paragraph 5, “Eight-one, tick-tock, eight-one o'clock, off to school, off to work, run, run, eight-one! But no doors slammed, no carpets took the soft tread of rubber heels.” This visualized how the house cooked breakfast for no one, woke up and told others to wake up, even though no one was there, and it repeated the date three times for no one to hear. The house is just doing its job it des daily, and it is doing it fine. The house doesn't realize how empty it is, and there there is no one there to make breakfast for, or to get anyone ready for the day. Even without the presence of inhabitants, the house still has intelligence in what it does. For instance, Bradbury wrote, “The front door recognized the dog voice and opened. The dog, once huge and fleshy, but now gone to bone and covered with sores, moved in and through the house, tracking mud” (paragraph 16) and “Until this day, how well the house had kept its peace. How carefully it had inquired, 'Who goes there? What's the password?’ and, getting no answer from the lonely foxes and whining cats” (paragraph 12). Allows the reader to see how the lonely and deserted house, still can recognize familiar voices, and can protect from unwelcome visitors as well. The house that used to be

First of all, Amy appeared to have been getting ready for the day when she was murdered. She was holding a hairbrush, the seat in front of her desk was pulled out, implying that she was sitting down , and there is a perfume bottle sitting on the

John Hughes's The Breakfast Club is one of film history’s most iconic and renowned movies and is a cornerstone of 1980’s pop-culture. The Breakfast Club showcases five unique high school students who all unfortunately find themselves imprisoned in an all-day Saturday detention. The students go as following: Claire (a pretty girl), Brian (the nerd), John (the bad boy), Andrew (an athlete), and Allison (the strange, goth girl). These students come from very different backgrounds and social settings which proves to spark many conflicts between them as well as with their supervisor Mr. Vernon. But through this conflict they find similarities between themselves, and after spending nine hours locked up together, they find resolution within themselves and with their new friends. Psychology can explain why this happened as well as what caused other events to occur. This paper will examine four different psychological phenomena: stereotypes, conformity/normative social influence, ingroup versus outgroup/superordinate goals, and the various causes of attraction.

Holly is not Lula Mae or even Holly Golightly but someone different who does not have a place in society. “I don't want to own anything until I know I've found the place where me and things belong to each other. I'm not quite sure where that is just yet. But I know what it's like"(Capote 32). Holly optimism that she does have a place only shows a longing to belong, a longing that unfortunately, will never be satisfied as she cannot be satisfied,much like all people who believe the grass is greener and eventually grow bitter and remove themselves and bury these hopes deep within themselves. Aberra says “Holly thus lends herself better to postmodern theories on the instability of identity.” (Aberra 20). Holly is unstable because of her lack or loss of identity and as her many personas become mashed and molded together, she loses parts of herself until she can no longer recognize who she is and despite the many sides of Holly that the reader sees, Holly true identity is never revealed and left ambiguous. ”The characterization of Holly is built on this sense of flux; it is a continuous, ever-changing process of becoming whose origin and end are shrouded in mystery”(Aberra 20). Unlike the other characters in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holly does not reveal her desires besides belonging. She cares nothing for money, love, sexual favors, or fame (Tiddswell). What she craves is order, hence the name, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, She adores Tiffanys because of the kind and welcoming people,

With Amy disclosing to Nick that the day she'd vanished "Desi Colling's took" her. (p.414) In this instance, the reader is positioned to see that Amy is yet attempting to utilise her intelligence to try and recreate a story ensuring that Nick and the rest of the world will believe in. When Amy decides that she needs to escape Desi's lake mansion, she does this by imposing another elaborate plan in motion, which is much like her first plan with Nick. She does this by patiently and waiting and calculating every detail she'd need to ensure that when she'd return, her story would be plausible for what had happened to her and would align with her fabricated disappearance. Inferring this by expressing that her "rope-wreathed wrists" (p.417) and damaged body would be what she'd have to present to the detectives, alluding to it as a "textbook" (p.417) However, her escape winds up radical as she'd killed Desi in cold blood. This positions the reader into perceiving her as a psychopath as she is capable of killing a man, and lie about what had happened to her, which reiterates to the reader her lack of empathy for others. Despite the fact that Desi was a creepy and overprotective guy, he had never physically harmed anyone, nor Amy, instead he helped her in a time of difficulty by keeping her out of the public eye and enabling her to stay at his lake

Amy’s mom tells Amy that until Matthew’s OCD is handled a bit differently then they will be able to see each other a little more often Due to Amy’s mom’s request to stop seeing Matthew, the two teens eventually have to stop seeing each other and to get ready for college.

Over the year or so that I have been interviewing actors, I have discovered so many remarkably gifted and exceptionally grounded young people in the industry. Chatting with them and featuring them on my site is always something special, and Lizzie White is no exception. While I am new to her talent, she and I recently discussed how she got started in her acting career, what her current and notable works are, and even how she manages her free time and outside interests.

A major theme in the novel Gone Girl is disenchanted marriage. Amy and Nick both chose to grow apart with manipulation but do not physically stay away from each other in the end. When Amy went missing, that was the first clue something was not right with her and Nick. When Nick came home from work he did not know where Amy was so he searched for her and could not find her. In the novel Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn Nick says “She wasn’t on the water, she wasn’t in the house.

pulling the wires, just for fun. She told me that. She told me that but I didn 't listen. I loved her so much." This shows that love isn 't always enough to hold up a relationship - but care, understanding and communication form the foundation to an otherwise successful relationship. Andrew and Dolores ' relationship depicts that in some cases you have to free those you love to give yourself and them peace, like Andrew liberated Dolores of her illness through murder because it was the only way to help her. As opposed to Shutter Island where Andrew and Dolores loved each other and were lead to their tragedy because of mental illness, in Gone Girl, Amy’s irrelationship with her parents and manipulation by their fictional character ‘Amazing Amy’ has a negative impact on hers and Nick’s relationship and just like her childhood, their relationship is carefully constructed to avoid intimacy and maintain the initial optimism of marital bliss Nick and Amy held about their relationship. The expectations from Amy by her parents and society, leave her in a state of mind where she isn 't good enough, and her alter ego consumes her to characterise an ideal daughter, wife and individual in society. Amy 's personality disorder displays she wants to be the centre of attention and when she is neglected by Nick, Amy disdains and punishes him. The turmoil becomes more apparent when Amy says "Nick Dunne took my pride and my dignity and my hope and my money. He took
