Dark Imagery in Macbeth Shakespeare uses a lot of imagery of night and darkness in Macbeth. This imagery is used to portray an image of a desolate, deranged place, full of tumult and disorder. Darkness and night imagery is also used to create an atmosphere of malevolence and misleading obscurity. Images of night and darkness are often used at times in the play when a death has occurred, or some other tragic event. Shakespeare also uses imagery of night and darkness in scenes with the witches,
“Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them.” “In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.” These quotes by Edgar Allan Poe are two of his many responses he gave to the criticism he received. Over many years in his writing career, the public rejected him for his gothic writing. Instead of responding negatively to the critics, whenever he found a positive way to
himself as one of the “normal” drivers as he refers the other drivers as “testosterone-deranged youths.” He mentions in this part of the story that “So the tiny minority of us Miami drivers who actually qualify as normal find ourselves constantly being trapped behind people drifting along the interstate at the speed of diseased livestock, while at the same time they are being tailgated by the testosterone-deranged youths”(92).

his constant use of vocabulary. However after an acquaintance of Montresor, Fortunato insults him, he is determined to get revenge. By slowly describing his murder of Fortunato on his deathbed it becomes obvious to the reader that the narrator is deranged and untrustworthy.

frightens one”. The definition of crazy means “mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive way”.

There have been controversial discussions in the United States about whether gun control legislation should be passed or not. Gun control advocates urge the government to impose stricter gun control laws while anti gun control advocates strongly oppose this idea.

Deranged Love Can someone who is mentally ill truly love someone? If so, then how do they love? Is it different than how a sane person loves? I believe people who are disturbed can love another person, although it is not in the way people want to be loved. Someone who is suffering from mental illness or are mentally disturbed love in a way of obsession. They love so much that they are not able to let go of their loved ones and become deranged when they lose them. Short stories, “A Rose For Emily”

Moreover, this cycle of confusion and the characterization of Macbeth as becoming deranged as he struggles between two distinctive planes of emotions aligns with the theme of self-destruction and in turn vividly portrays the effect of conscious and morality. Additionally, the employment of apostrophe in the soliloquy depicts Macbeth as not only deranged but as conflicted. The representation of the dagger as his guilt and Macbeth confronting the dagger as if it were
auto wreck in which wildness is indispensable.In addition to Shapiro's use of metaphorical phrases, he emphasizes the lack of comprehension of the on-lookers as a result of death's inconsistency with logic. Shapiro directly tells the reader, "We are deranged." The word "we" symbolizes u s, as a whole institution or better yet-society. He goes on further to say, "Our throats were tight as tourniquets." By this he means that the on-lookers were stopped, almost speechless, as they gazed upon the wreckage

He sings, “welcome to where time stands still / No one leaves and no one will / Moon is full, never seems to change / Just labelled mentally deranged.” In his “mentally deranged” state, the man feels as if time has frozen, lengthening his years of confinement and preventing the possibility of release.

Symbolism Morbid, sick, and psychotic are all words many use to describe the late writer Edgar Allan Poe. His images of ghost and maniacs have given readers chills throughout the years. While many believe Edgar Allan Poe was nothing more than a deranged horror writer, a deeper look at some of his macabre tales such as “The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and “The Tale-Tell Heart,” shows Poe’s literary brilliance through the use of symbolism. His ability to create deeper meanings in his
cruelty” is something a crazy person would say. However, now that we know she is crazy, is she still evil? While she does convince Macbeth to kill Duncan, surely someone evil would have no problem doing it themselves? Lady Macbeth is simply a mentally deranged person.
