...is created by the sin of Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale while Roger Chillingworth seeks for revenge of the adulterer. These three main characters will be highlighted in this essay. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne uses the symbols of light and dark to depict good and evil among the characters Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, and Roger Chillingworth. Hawthorne explains both Hester’s light and dark sides with sunshine. It was stated that, “she made a halo of the misfortune and ignominy in which she was enveloped” (Hawthorne 51). Nathaniel Hawthorne is telling us she made the best out of the punishment she had to go through. Hester brought light to all the darkness that she dealt with. Hawthorne said that Hester coming out of the jail was “like a black shadow emerging into sunshine” (49). Hester looked like a shadow with the sin she had committed. People did not recognize Hester when she had come out of the prison. Hester is described by the author with sunshine for her dark and light sides....

...Character Within Whether one can accept it or not, inside all of us, there is good and there is evil. In the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, this idea exposes itself in three of the main characters. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne uses the symbols of light and dark to depict good and evil among the characters Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, and Roger Chillingworth. Hester is an outcast, but shows her light side by remaining kind to others, while her darkness shows as the sunlight cannot find her. In the novel, Hawthorne states, “It is our Hester, the town’s own Hester, who is so kind to the poor, so helpful to the sick, so comfortable to the afflicted!” (149). She is outcast and hated by the citizens of Boston for...

...The anti-hero. He is hated. And he is loved. The anti-hero taps into the viewers “dark side” which makes the protagonist likeable, even rooting for him if his qualities aren’t quite moral. For example, why are we on Jules Winnfield’s side on Pulp Fiction even if he’s clearly a hitman? Or Michael Douglas’s character in Falling Down when he pulls his gun at family-filled fast food restaurant demanding that he wants breakfast? There’s definitely certain qualities about the anti-hero that’s makes them relatable to the audience. In movies, villains like John Doe in Se7en or Tyler Durden in Fight Club embodied those dark forces. One may not see that connection so instantly but there’s a psychological reasoning. When the ‘shadow’ was introduced by...

...Introduction Dark pools are a complex topic subject to misunderstanding amongst the broad public, media, and government regulators. To help provide a better perspective, we discuss the evolution of equity markets that led to the development of electronic trading, dark pools, and current market structure. We move on to analyze dark pools and their overall impact on trading. We then discuss further aspects of dark pools in particular, and consider regulation and global trends in market structure. Historical Perspective on Equity Markets The first modern equity market was established in the Netherlands in 1610 with the publically traded shares of the Dutch East India Company. Financial transactions had taken place since the dawn of civilization, but 1610 was a milestone towards the development of the equity markets we know today. Because equity securities represent transferable ownership interests in corporations, dividing business organizations into small, affordable pieces made it easier for entrepreneurs to raise capital from multiple sources. At the same time, limited liability allowed investors to diversify their investments without fear of incurring risk of personal accountability. Enhanced liquidity also eased transfer of ownership. Secondary markets for the securities of public firms quickly developed as the number of companies increased. Merchants and traders bought and sold securities just like other commodities, and specialization soon flourished. Stock exchanges...

...Different novels may bring to the reader different tones and moods. In the novel, The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, may make the readers feel depressed because the tone and mood are ironic, gloomy, and dark. Due to the tone and mode the color dark red and song, “There is a Light that Never Goes Out,” by The Smith is relatable to the Scarlet Letter. Tone is known as the attitude of the author towards the reader and mood is known as a literary element were the reader gains feelings from emotion and descriptions. Throughout the novel the tone and mood seem to stay the same and continuously becomes more and more ironic. Readers may infer that the tone is ironic. This is due to the fact that Hester is being punished and no one knows that the priest is guilty as well, and Dimmesdale knowing he sinned and feeling like he should be punished while the townspeople don't think he”s guilty. For example on page 122, “He had been driven hither by the insisted and closely linked companion was that cowardice which impulse had hurried him back to the verge of a disclosure.” This example shows not only the ironic tone but the dark mood as well because of how he feels that what he’s done should be punished. The color dark red is...

...Analyzing both viewpoints, Christianity has more examples and support, as the worldview over Star Wars a New Hope. The Force is a religion that is created in the movie that Lucas molds from major religions including Christianity. For example the movie molds Christian sayings like “May God be with you” to “May the Force be with you” as pointed out from John McDowell in his article for Bethinking. They also treated the force like it was the almighty comforting grace. Just as if Jesus is the rock that all Christians stand on. The force has also come to have a good side and a dark side. We can easily view that as a representation of our entire religion, Christianity has a good side and an evil side. The entire religion is based on spiritual warfare, that is very similar to the battle created between the light and dark sides of the force. The light side represents all thats good and the Jedi uphold and defend that side of the force. This is very much like how we as Christians are called to uphold and defend God to the world and all who go...

...probably counterproductive to always suppress your basic feelings and desires. It’s imperative to acknowledge yourself as a combination of good and evil. Otherwise you will fall in deep self-blame and struggle when you discover your evil side which is the polar opposite to the idealistic image you set for yourself. And this could lead to serious consequences as is in the case of Lina, where she nearly collapses and begins to hallucinate when she can’t properly balance the two personalities inside of her. She wants to yield to the temptation of being bad, but her ideal to be perfect rejects that part of herself and throws her into deep self blame. In modern society, it’s unrealistic to expect yourself as perfect. Setting too high a standard sometimes could only exert pressure on oneself, thus threatening one’s emotional well-being. Sometimes it’s okay to acknowledge and even yield to our desires and temptations provided no harm could be done to others and society in which we are living in. Through the course of Lina’s revelation of her dark side, the relationship between Lina and her mother undergoes a sea change. She is initially obedient and respectful to her mother, seeing her as a role model in the pursuit of the top of her career. But as her dark side begins to reveal, she gradually comes to the realization of her mother’s creepy possessiveness and begins to defy his mother. Their conflict is at its greatest when Lina discovers her mom’s attempt to stop her from playing the black...

...“The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger and “The Dark Knight” directed by Christopher Noland are my chosen examples to explore themes such as hatred, mortality and deceit, which consist of various factors affecting relationships like self-isolation, our psychological health and propaganda. “The Cather in the Rye” explores these themes in a Dark, cynical but somewhat compassionate tone, accompanied with moments of humor. “The Dark Knight” is similar and explores the themes in a dark and disturbing tone, with the addition of action. “The Catcher in the Rye” demonstrates the theme of hatred with Holden’s hate towards the adult world around him, however as a consequence this causes personal, social and mental isolation from the world and an inability to create meaningful relationships. This is the main factor for Holden’s isolation from the world, and is symbolized throughout the novel with Holden’s red hunting hat. The majority of the people he encounters are deemed as ‘phonies’ for Holden as they do not follow with his view of the world, this generalization further prevent him from making relationships and reflects upon his immaturity. The last page of the novel and more importantly the quote, “All I know is I sort of miss everybody I told about”, through the use of colloquial language shows us Holden’s realization of his isolation as well as his longing to re-create relationships with previous acquaintances. “The Dark Knight” displays the effect of hate in relationships...

...The painting generates an inquisitive searching in the viewer. What is the cross? What does it mean? Why is it so important? A large open area behind the cross offers the eye a resting point, from the more detailed and busy areas of the painting. The cross is dark and creates tonal contrast against a bright backdrop of trees on a mountain. The trees are harmonious in colour. The use of subtle tints of orange, pink, and yellow make the trees on the mountain look like they are on fire. These strokes of paint add excitement yet are softer in technique, as to not compete with the monolithic cross. The cross has some defined edges. It is a large scale object in proportion to all the other objects in the scene, and from the observer’s viewpoint, stands taller than the mountains. A complimentary pallet of blues, greens and greys used in the cross and foreground are cooling and add contrast with temperature. All these aspects combined, help to signify the importance of the...

...When people try to find light in the dark, they often find this light with the people around us [16]. In the novel, Antoinette and Annette form this binary opposition which is bright and dark. Antoinette favours brightness over darkness while Annette distaste bright and prefers darkness. Antoinette echoed throughout the novel her preferences to brightness as of colours or lights. She mentioned that she wanted to write her name in fire red [34] which is a bright colour and this portrays her likeness to brightness. Although she’s deprived of love from her parents at an early age, she continues to hope, which a sign of light. Whereas Annette distastes brightness and desires darkness.

...trees positioned on either side of the door, that line on either side of the buildings door. Multiple plants are placed throughout the front of the building, as if to draw the viewer’s attention to the building in the center of the sketch. Along the canvas, white appears to have been intently spaced all the way around the sketch, to draw our attention to what the artist feels is most important. In this sketch, the three elements of Art that are most apparent are line, value, and space. It appears that primarily value is used throughout the sketch. Variations of light and dark, make up the outlines of the buildings and the plants around it. Lighter, value is spread throughout the forefront on the trees and trim of the building, while darker value is is fixed mostly over the buildings structure. The second most important Element of Art is line. Now while value is used greatly throughout, lines are the most plentiful in the sketch. Vertical lines make up most of it, offering strength and stability to the structure of the building. While irregular lines can be seen spread in the sketch’s plants. Parts of the trees have not been filled in with very many lines, have been left as transparent shapes, and dark contour lines....

...ideas explored in a literary work. The Duality of Human Nature Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde centers upon a conception of humanity as dual in nature, although the theme does not emerge fully until the last chapter, when the complete story of the Jekyll-Hyde relationship is revealed. Therefore, we confront the theory of a dual human nature explicitly only after having witnessed all of the events of the novel, including Hyde’s crimes and his ultimate eclipsing of Jekyll. The text not only posits the duality of human nature as its central theme but forces us to ponder the properties of this duality and to consider each of the novel’s episodes as we weigh various theories. Jekyll asserts that “man is not truly one, but truly two,” and he imagines the human soul as the battleground for an “angel” and a “fiend,” each struggling for mastery. But his potion, which he hoped would separate and purify each element, succeeds only in bringing the dark side into being—Hyde emerges, but he has no angelic counterpart. Once unleashed, Hyde slowly takes over, until Jekyll ceases to exist. If man is half angel and half fiend, one wonders what happens to the “angel” at the end of the novel. Perhaps the angel gives way permanently to Jekyll’s devil. Or perhaps Jekyll is simply mistaken: man is not “truly two” but is first and foremost the primitive creature embodied in Hyde, brought under tentative control by civilization, law, and conscience. According to this theory, the potion simply strips away the civilized...
