• The contrast of characters, Frankenstein being more academic in a sense of having the 'thirst for knowledge'. 
• very independent character 'it was my temper to avoid a crowd, and to attach my self fervently to a few.' this could then develop as to why he becomes socially incompetent. His lack of social skills makes him impaired to the norms and values of society. 
• ' harmony was the soul of our companionship...drew us nearer together'.Could this be a fascination to Frankenstein to find someone who is opposite to his character but can keep him content. Or is this highlighting his control of independence as well as dependence of a positive character in life. 
• 'natural philosophy' - a break down in structure goes on to talk about learning and the book that he has read, which highlights his thirst for knowledge. Becomes fixated about the world around him and the discoveries of nature and electricity.

• Age of 13- becomes interested in how life evolved on the planet, studies theories of life and human creations. ' the world was to me a secret which i desired to divine.' the knowledge of new information makes him happier, though fate has other plans for him.

Theme- Knowledge, childhood.

Chapter 3-  At the age of 17, Frankenstein moves away to Ingolstadt for college, when Elizabeth got scarlet fever, as well as the loss of his mother.'the first misfortune of my life occurred- an omen,as it were my future of misery'.

• Loneliness of Frankenstein develops 'I was new to sorrow'. Though we see him more engaged with his studying. See his nervousness of being along from everyone he loved, but finding the Professor which he befriends, see how devoted they are to studying. Another downfall chapter 3, page 34 'the labours of men of genius, however erroneously directed,scarcely ever fail in ultimately turning to the solid advantage of mankind' M Waldman was wrong. 

chapter 4- See how Frankenstein becomes to determine to figure out the source of where life comes from. He considers going back home because his studies become so advanced.  Frankenstein discovers essence of life, but refuses to reveal it to Walton as he fears that he will follow the idea.  "Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow."

•  After Frankenstein realises what gives life, he experiments with creating a human being. The construction takes place 'I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life.'

Chapter 5-Frankensteins creation comes to life and illusions of grandeur were vanished by the hideousness of the beast. the contrast of the creature having good and bad elements, can be interpreted as complementing Frankensteins personality. As well as an understanding of people and the reality of life people being judgmental. His perfect creation was a frightening disaster. "For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart." Chapter 5, pg. 42 Frankenstein fled his laboratory and collapsed in his room. He woke from a nightmare to see the monster standing over him, smiling with his hideous, black lips.

• further extension of loneliness. Page 55. 

Chapter 7- Letter is revealed from Alphonso about his brothers murder, found his strangled body in the woods. The locket worn can be seen as a motivation for the murder, leaving Elizabeth feeling responsible fro this- displacing guilt.Frankenstein is well aware of the monster being Williams murderer. though Justine is accused, we see a change in the character of Frankenstein tackling the world on his own has bought him to become selfish, ignorant but guilt is prevalent.

• Pages 62-3 
• Use of letters break down structure, tells story from a different perspective builds imagery of scenes as well as revealing emotions. (pages 56-7). 

Chapter 8 - Justine's trial explains all the evidence but not the evidence of the locket. She is still acquitted and executed. The guilt builds up of two deaths on his conscience. Frankenstein knew then that it was only the beginning of their sorrow and he was responsible for all of it but unaware of how to prevent it. "[He] beheld those [he] loved spend vain sorrow upon the graves of William and Justine, the first hapless victims to [his unhallowed arts." Chapter 8, pg. 73.

• 'Prophetic soul'- echoes Hamlet in Act 1 scene 5 line 41 where the ghost of Hamlets Father tells him of his murder by Claudius ans lays upon his sons the burden of revenge.

Theme- Innocence, confession all linked with religion.

CONTEXT- AO4 

 Prometheus and Paradise Lost
Prometheus is told to create mankind using mud and water. He is a great benefactor to mankind teaching them astrology and architecture etc. Though he stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the mortals, his punishment was to be bounded by a rock and on each day an eagle would come and peck out his liver which it then grew back and this continuously happened.  

    Frankenstein is viewed as the 'Modern Prometheus' stealing fire ffrom the Gods made him an admired figure among writers . Shares similarities with Frankenstein is told by Zeus to make a creation of humanity from mud and water, Victor creates a monster.  Also how he steals fire by harnessing the power of lightening to animate his monster.  Prometheus defies the supreme being and continues to purse knowledge (symbolises fire) until it has its consequences which parallels going against nature the way Frankenstein does.

    Both are given gifts/powers such as Frankenstein is given intelligence and Prometheus is given trust though they both disobey the power given.

Paradise lost- form of a long poem, which tells the story of Adam, Eve and Satan. Satan uses the ability to talk to destroy the Earth.

• God creates the world and Adam and Eve, Frankenstein is the parallel to the character of being 'God'.  He is seen as a more obsessive creator and self centered. The creature ca identify with Satan and Adam to be born perfect creatures but betray by committing sins. 
• The creature being rejected shows the rejection of Adam and Eve.

Mary Shelley- Born in London 1797. Born into a wealthy family her mum being a feminist writer and father a philosopher,her mother died when Shelley was at a young age.

•  she was always trying to come up with ideas for a horror story, had discussions about Darwin's theory of evolution with Lord Byron. She had a nightmare which developed the story of Frankenstein.    
• Wrote the novel at the age of 19, as a woman it was published anonymously. 
• Married Percy Shelley. 
• Died in Bournemouth 1851.

Act 5- Reading Journal

Scene 1- Introduced to the the scene of Lady Macbeth being seen by doctors, we see her vulnerable state of the guilt overriding her, where she is constantly motioning her hands 'washing her hands. I have known her continue in this a quarter of an hour'. Relating to the film helps build a strong sense of imagery upon Lady Macbeth feeling isolated, guilty almost sick. 'Will these hands ne'erbe clean'. Line 42.
   Lady M. falls into a deep psychological state 'here's the smell of blood still.' Shes mentally and traumatised by the all the killings and bloodshed, though she hasn't committed the acts herself she portrays the guilty mind. As debated in class the psychology of Macbeth and Lady M embodying one character carry different elements Macbeth is the physical part of the crimes, Lady M is the thinking behind all of this.
Structure- The way in which Lady M. speaks appear to be misplaced, jagged she isn't aware of her full surrounding.

Scene 3-
Macbeth's focus on continuing the war as well as trying to handle Lady M, the pressure builds up, Macbeth becomes reckless with his killing doesn't really show much thinking behind who he kills compared to Act one when so much detail was planned and though out logically.

• See the bond between Lady M and Macbeth, once again coming back to the theory of two bodies in one, we see the bond between their communication, see hoe Macbeth relies and needs Lady M as a backbone to his body and conscience. 
• Language- language of sickness, cleansing, repenting.

       ' mind diseased' line 40
        'troubles of the brain' line 42
        'cleanse the stuffed bosom' line 44
        
Scene 4- The prophecy of the witches comes true once again.

Scene 5- See Macbeth's emotional side behind all the drama and killings, a moment of reflection ' I have almost forgot the taste of fears'. See how he becomes careless to all the killings taking place. Linking to sociology theorist 'Katz' mentions how crime is seductive. Killing becomes a thrill to Macbeth the guilt is ignored, the seductiveness becomes a priority to achieve self satisfaction and dominance.

•  Death of Lady M. Lie 25 'Life's but a walking shadow' interpretations:
• the shadow of Lady M, always over powering and having some control over the actions of Macbeth.
• Lady Macbeth being the Backbone to Macbeth, her absence makes Macbeth feel empty, life isn't worth living.
• Life can be interpreted as being a quick moment. 
• a candle being blown out.
• 'Signifying nothing'- nihilism, Macbeth rejects the moral and religious values and principles

Macbeth mentions the equivocator, which goes back to Act 2 Scene 3, the ringing of the bell, knows he's going to hell.
  
'There is not flying hence nor tarrying here, I'gin to be aweary of the sun' Line 49 - Greek mythology.

Scene 6- War begins, Macbeth is then Killed with his head in the hands of Malcolm.
See how Macbeth slowly gives himself up.

Overall notes-
Play contradicts how it starts with Macbeth being a a nobleman end with him being a traitor. A key moral thats highlighted is that the course of fate cannot be changed, which is controlled and highlighted by the Witches. Highlights a self fulfilling prophecy all the killings and acts committed that go against his nature, once he believes and sees the person he has become he accepts the label. Lady M, has a key role in this by labeling him as a coward early in the play, adds pressure to become something he isn't.

Act 4- R eading Journal

Act 4,Scene 1

• We realise for a change how Macbeth visits the witches, its been reveres usually we would see the witches overshadowing him. 
• starting of with the charm sets out tension for the rest of the scene.
• Macbeth is in almost in demand to know whats set out for the future, who the next killing is. We see how the witches have control over Macbeth, they may be the trigger to all the killings through manipulation. 
• A set of aspirations a presented by the witches which reveal Macbeth's false sense of security:
• First aspiration is an armed head which warns Macbeth from Macduff. 
• The second is a bloody child, who tells him that 'none of woman born/ shall harm Macbeth' lines 79-80.
• Third aspiration is a crowned child with a tree in its hand lines 91 onwards- 'Macbeth shall never be vanquished...him'. This can also be seen to drive Macbeth even more he knows that no one can move a forest, he then goes on to ask will Banquo's children be kings, a moment of jealousy... though he could be planning who to cut off the scene next
• Language used by Macbeth seems masculine, strong and takes the role of asserting his dominance. Intent to kill portrays it to the reader as sickening.
• Macduff has fled to England, revenge is done by killing his family. We see Macbeth's thought processes as automatically decisive where as at the beginning of the play Lady M. has to encourage him and be the backbone of the killings. 

Act 4, Scene 2

• Lady Macduff is told her children will be fatherless, she tries to inform her son about this though he has a lot more wisdom for his age than what the audience expect.
• 'The liars and swearers are fools; for there are liars and swearers enow to beat the honest men and hang.Line 58- said by Macduff's son, the first child that actually speaks in the play as well as surviving. see child's thought processes of moral understanding- presents child morality and innocence... Later the son is killed. 

Act 4, Scene 3

• Message that Scotland is about to be attacked b ten thousand men.When Macduff meets Malcolm remembering the misplaced trust in Macbeth...comparison is made Malcolm admits his lust, greed ad sin which presents Macbeth as an angel.
• Macduff is unaware of the death of his wife and Children, told they are 'at peace' which triggers to get revenge upon Macbeth urged by Malcolm.

 General Notes: Witches further extend the theme of doubling and equivocation, gives the effect that their speeches have double meanings, paradox and equivocation.

• The aspirations are equivocal messages to Macbeth, and they consciously know that he will only understand half of the words. Doesn't take the aspirations into account as much as he does with the witches prophecies and thinking if they will come true.
• When the murder scene takes place Lady Macduff makes references to the symbol of the bird. 'The poor wren.. the most diminutive of birds, will fight... owl.' Line 10. The metaphor becomes realistic when both are attacked. Also earlier Macbeth being the owl, with Lady Macduff trung to protect her son, becomes the wren. Its a pathos to the audience as wee see Macbeths son acting out the prey to Macbeth's murders.

Act 3 Reading Journal

Act 3,Scene 1- Suspicion of Macbeth killing the King to fulfill the witches prophecy is raised by Banquo.

•  Macbeth sets up to assassinate Banquo and Fleance.  
• Line 48- Macbeth's soliloquy ... 'barren sceptre'- phallic object, unable to have children with Lady Macbeth, which could be seen as a punishment.
• 'Fruitless crown'- having no crown at all, reflecting upon the prophecy of Banqu's children becoming future kings.  
• 'Mark Antony's was by Caesar'- Whilst Macbeth compares him and Banquo to these characters. Octavius Caesar (Banquo) defeated Mark Antony in the civil wars.
• line 66- 'Put rancours in the vessel of my peace'- Rancours- hostility which are poisonous to the soul. Macbeth s actions have poisoned the vessel of peace.

Act 3, Scene 2- 'Naught's had,all's spent, where our desire is got without content.' Her mind is still fixated upon the Killing of Duncan, she confesses that nothing is gained from this, everything is losing their reach.  

•  Line 36- O, full of scorpions is my mind.' See the mental state of Macbeth, the feeling of guilt and confusion takes over as they will have to kill more people to become satisfied and cover up stories.
• Lines 52-55 use of rhyming couplets.

Act 3, Scene 3- Killing of Banquo takes place. Macbeth's state of mind is jagged reflects upon the killing being very unorganised.

Act 3 Scene 4 - Macbeth is the only one to witness Banquo's ghost at the dinner table. Lines 68-70 'Prithee,see there! Behold!Look!Lo!...' His shock and horror is covered up by lady M. saying that Macbeth is going through a lot of stress. 

• See a change in structure and speech patterns each time the ghost appears, Macbeth becomes apprehensive and agitated.
• L.M blames his hallucinations upon the lack of sleep, though its Macbeth producing a guilty conscience as said in previous act 'Macbeth shall sleep no more'.

Act 3, Scene 5-  Hecat- Goddess takes over with the prophecies of Macbeth, they aim to fill him with a false sense of security  line 29 -'draw him on to his confusion'.

• Rhyme scheme becomes consistent again, making a charm for Macbeth.
• Hecat also symbolises the corruption of Scotland's political and moral health.     

Act 3, Scene 6- Both Lennox and another Lord suspect that Macbeth is responsible for the murder of Duncan and Banquo. See Macbeth as a 'tyrant'.

Act 2 Reading Journal

• Act 2, Scene 1-  Macbeth's soliloquy of imaginary daggers builds curiosity upon the audience, this can be seen a a cue/ prod for Macbeth committing the act of killing Duncan.
• Get to see the mental state of Macbeth as he is alone on stage, this tends to be when characters are open to express feelings. ' Heat oppressed brain' interpreted as an act happening 'in the heat of the moment' . Though During Renaissance periods, heat was considered as a fluid that would literally press against the brain causing a fever or delirium. 
• Language- 'Gouts of blood' used in a rich context puts a lot of emphasis when pronouncing as well. Comes from Latin term 'gutta' meaning large droplets or splashes that are gushing or bursting.
• 'wicked dreams abuse' - mind tourmenting, psychological. 
• Structure- Macbeth's soliloquy, has no rhyming structure at all, apart from the last two lines (rhyming couplets). Adds to the effect of not knowing his state of mind. The illusion of daggers is in the unconscious creates a tone of confusion.
• Act 2, Scene 2- Evidence of Lady Macbeth producing a guilty conscience the fast pace of recalling after lines, shows character intensity and anxiety. 
• Lines 43-4 'Murdered sleep'....'Macbeth shall sleep no more' - Macbeth begins to accept what has been done, the idea of him not sleeping is him repenting for his sins. Also, the prophecies will keep delivering, Killing more people to keep secrets safe.
• Act 2, Scene 3- Porter Scene, offers a comical aspect to the play. Breaks down the structure creates a comical situation out of something serious.
• Lady Macbeth diverts the attention from the Killing being exposed by Macbeth. Line 103 onwards... Lady: (swooning).
• Act 2, Scene 4- Discovery of King Duncan's Death.

Biblical References:

• Act2, Scene 1, Lines 72-4 'The bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan for it is a knell. That summons thee to heaven or hell.Macbeth is about to send King Duncan to his judgment before God.' In Mathews25.31 were told: ' when the son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angles with him, then he shall sit upon the throne of his glory and before him shall be gathered all nations... to be judged.
• Act 2, Scene 1, Line 56  onwards, shows how Macbeth is unaware of his crimes though the heavens and the earths are aware. References to the Habakkuk 2.10,11 'Thou hast consulted shame to thine own house, by destroying many people, and hast sinned against thine own soule. For the stones shall cry out of the wall and the beam out of his timbre shall answer it'. The Noise reveals Macbeth's intentions.

Animal References:

• Act 2, Scene 2, Line 3 'It was the owl that shriek'd, the fatal bellman.' The hoot of an owl flying over someones house was an evil omen and meant impending death for someone inside. The referral to the bellman,shows that it was the bellman's job to ring the Parrish bell when a person was facing death.  
• Act 2, Scene 4, Line 14 'Duncan's horses'- betrayal with the former kings men. Horses are a symbol of loyalty and nobility .
• 'A falcon towering in her pride' representation of Lady M. Shows the power and control she has over Macbeth, but the nobility of such a creature is something she strives for.  

Shakespeare's use of animal imagery tells the play from another view point, used as a motif throughout the play to capture whats happening. Also convey what may happen in future events.

What are the Gothic elements in Act One of Macbeth? (Reading Journal for Act 1)

The first Gothic element we are introduced to is the setting o the play which is a key part as it sets the mood and tone for the audience. Automatically 'Thunder and lightning. Enter three witches.' A ere vibe is given off which leaves the audience to feel uncomfortable and slightly scared. The beginning starts off with the witches which shows mystery an mischief, the way the speak is in a steady rhyming pace which could also suggest the way they connect with each other and it gives the impression of a casting spell. 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair.' The phrase is almost like a tongue twisting spell which conveys death and cruelty. The three witches lurk around like the dark thoughts and temptations to evil. They play upon the ambitions Macbeth has. The audience is left to think at the end of Scene One, are the witches independent agents toying with human life, or agents of fate.

The references to animals are made throughout Act one, though they are animals of strong characters or features. For example in Scene 2, line 36 'As sparrows, eagles, or the hare, the lion. Then we have the Animal reference to the Raven. The raven is a strong symbol in mythology, art and literature. Though in some beliefs it is seen as the spiritual figure of God. The animal interpretations could be highlighting Macbeth's deep and dark character in the play.

The use of foul bitter language also adds emphasis the Gothic elements. Especially from Lady Macbeth, from a woman in the time that this was written, her status would be very little and she wouldn't be mentioned much in the play. she would be seen as an object not a person. Her strive for power, control take lead of her which reveals her masculine side, though it could be argued that Macbeth and Lady M. could be two sides to one body. For example in Act 1 Scene 5 ' unsex me here and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty.' Her desire to have the body of a man and fill her with cruelty, yet she doesn't want to feel guilt for her actions. This is a typical Gothic style in literature, the lust for violence and inhumane actions but at the same time characters gain a thrill. 

Key things to remember for this act:

• Introduction to the three witches.
• Macbeth has been given a prophecy by the three witches that he will become king. 
• Lady Macbeth is introduced- we see how she is as a character, shes stronger, ruthless and ambitious than Macbeth. 
• Plan to kill King Duncan.
• Language used by Shakespeare, Language contradiction is used at times with the witches 'fair is foul, and foul is fair'. Also used by Banquo 'Lesser than Macbeth, and greater'. Adds to a sense of moral confusion that their surroundings seem to be obscure.  
• Form- Use of Soliloquy- shows dramatic tension, the focus on one character is a lot more powerful. Portrays more feelings and emotions, especially Lady Macbeth. 
• Gothic Links- Can be compared to Modern day Gothic/horror films which we see how gender role have changed, women are more confrontational and out spoken, where as Lady Macbeth is held back a lot because of her role as a female. She wants to take the role of being masculine. 'unsex me'.

Themes present so far...

Corrupting power and Ambition- Macbeth's character is over ridden by power, Lady Macbeth, the issue of Morals constrains seems to be ignored.
Loyalty- Macbeth being loyal to the king, as well as being a loyal and devoted husband to Lady Macbeth. Feels a sense of pressure to take the role of a man, when being insulted against his manhood by his wife.

Marxist approach to my coursework text :A thousand Splendid Suns

Marxism approach of A Thousand Splendid Suns-

Marxism is an economic and socio-political worldview and method of socioeconomic inquiry that centers upon a materialist interpretation of history, a dialect view of social change, and an analysis and critique of the development of capitalism. Marxism was found in the early to mid 19th century by two German philosophers, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxism encompasses Marxian economic theory, a sociological theory and a revolutionary view of social change that has influenced socialist political movements worldwide.

Marxism sees society as a super structure in which the economic base determines the shape of the super structure of all social institutions.  Society is based on the conflict of inequality and wealth and power, which underpins capitalist society and the conditions with in such a system explain why people turn to crime or act deviant. In the novel we see how society becomes distorted due to the new ruling of the Taliban as well as the change and development of a corrupt government. The decade-long war led to the deaths of over a million mujahedeen fighters and Afghan civilians and 14,000 Russian soldiers before the Soviet withdrawal in 1989. The Taliban regime that came to power, as well as Al-Qaida, originated from the noxious mix of US-sponsored anti-communist foreign policy in the region during this period. This is entirely omitted in Hosseini’s narrative, as he all but erases US complicity in the fate of modern Afghanistan.

  

Society is divided into two different classes the bourgeoisies the ruling class and the proletarians, the working class. The Marxist argue that an imbalance between these classes will always be a problem in society, majority of the working class are set up to fail in a capitalist society and a few will make it to the top. The bourgeoisie is able to keep its power partly through its ability to use the law to criminalise working class activities. The laws are not expressions of value consensus as the functionalist would say, but they a reflection of ruling class ideology. The laws are only made if they are in the interest of the ruling class.

Afghanistan was once a society where women were free to walk in the streets without being guided by a male figure shadowing them. Since the ruling of the Taliban genders become unequal women’s rights banish. This uncovers valuable social truths through the lives of the main characters. The reader gets an impression of the incredibly precarious existence of young people during the most recent period through the fate of Laila and Tariq. But above all, it lays bare the truly horrendous existence of women and girls. The power is passed on to men. Marxism focuses a lot on the strive for ‘power and control’ we see this in the relationships with Mariam and Rasheed. Mariam becomes powerless her status as an illegitimate child stays with her throughout her life, she feels punished for this mistake as she cannot give Rasheed a child. Rasheed becomes an aggressive, controlling violent. The recent attempts by the Afghan parliament with President Hamid Karzai’s initial support to enact a law that would forbid women from leaving their homes without male consent and would sanctify marital rape, recalls Taliban era proclamation.

Theory of alienation- refers to the separation of things that naturally belong together, or to put hate between things that are properly in harmony. In the concept's most important use, it refers to the social alienation of people from aspects of their "human nature" (Gattungswesen, usually translated as 'species-essence' or 'species-being'). He believed that alienation is a systematic result of capitalism. Theory of Alienation is the argument that in modern industrial production under capitalist conditions workers will inevitably lose control of their lives by losing control over their work
