The Men & Women we love to hate
Author: Donald A Patterson

ISBN: 1915463637
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Short Synopsis on the book: Men and Women you love to hate or What’s his name I really hate him’ (As you can see, above; I have two possible titles; but I can’t decide which one to use?) This is how I envisage the book cover the front of the book; the character is a cartoon representation of a ‘Baddie’ based on Dick Dastardly from ‘Whacky Races’ which is originally based on a Victorian actor Todd Slaughter who always played villains in plays and films. The Men & Women you love to hate Or What’s his name? I really hate him! Main Body of the book The character of the villain is an integral part of the history of ‘story telling’ in books, fairy tales in the cinema and on the stage. All cultures that have some form of storytelling tradition, in whatever language the usual premise is of good versus evil or a good person against a bad person. In the English literary tradition follows on from Chaucer in the 14th century and Shakespeare in the 16th century. Shakespeare’s genius was his skill in making his characters believable and, motivated by the things that motivate all human beings. They react to their circumstances and to people in different ways. Some of Shakespeare’s characters act in cruel and unpleasant ways; some kill, deceive and take advantage of the other person whether man or woman but they remain human beings who we can recognise. How does the author or screen writer know if a certain type of villain fits well into the script or book they propose in their genre or story? To an author or screenwriter, each character-type serves a specific purpose in the exploration of a book or script’s premise, which usually starts with the protagonist. An antagonist’s primary purpose is to be the main obstacle to the protagonist (hero’s) quest or goal, which is motivated by a conflicting goal. That goal is something an antagonist is determined to secure for his or her own reason/s. The antagonist (villain) can in most cases be self-serving or the protection of a community he or she might have a ‘stake in’. The character’s reasons for doing what they do can often be the most emotionally compelling part of the story. This is because audiences can on occasions understand the antagonist’s motivation and can sometimes relate to it; these motives fall generally under two distinct classifications of ‘personal gain’ or ‘communal gain’.

Freedom
Author: Jonathan Franzen
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429979437
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 573
Book Description
Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paul—the gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was the ideal sort of neighbor, who could tell you where to recycle your batteries and how to get the local cops to actually do their job. She was an enviably perfect mother and the wife of Walter's dreams. Together with Walter—environmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, total family man—she was doing her small part to build a better world. But now, in the new millennium, the Berglunds have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job working with Big Coal? What exactly is Richard Katz—outré rocker and Walter's college best friend and rival—still doing in the picture? Most of all, what has happened to Patty? Why has the bright star of Barrier Street become "a very different kind of neighbor," an implacable Fury coming unhinged before the street's attentive eyes? In his first novel since The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom's characters as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.

Pages : 223
Book Description
The attractions Roopa experienced and the fantasies she entertained as a teen shaped a male imagery that ensconced her subconscious. Insensibly, confident carriage came to be associated with the image of maleness in her mind-set. Her acute consciousness of masculinity only increased her vulnerability to it, making her womanliness crave for the maleness for its gratification. However, as her father was constrained to help her in becoming a doctor, she opts to marry, hoping that Sathyam might serve her cause though the persona she envisioned as masculine, she found lacking in him. But as he fails to go with her idea, she becomes apathetic towards him, and insensibly sinks into her friend Sandhya’s embrace, for lesbian solace. Soon, in a dramatic sequence of events, Tara, a suave call girl, tries to rope Roopa into her calling; Roopa herself loses her heart to Sandhya's beau Raja Rao, and Prasad, her husband’s friend falls for her. And as Prasad begins to induce Sathyam to be seduced by whores to worm his way into her affections, Roopa finds herself in a dilemma. However, as fate puts Raja Rao into Roopa’s arms in such a way as to lend novelty to fiction, this ‘novel’ nuances man-woman chemistry on one hand, and portrays woman-woman empathy on the other. Who said the novel is dead; 'Benign Flame' raises the bar as vouched by - The plot is quite effective and it’s a refreshing surprise to discover that the story will not trace a fall into disaster for Roopa, given that many writers might have habitually followed that course with a wife who strays into extramarital affairs - Spencer Critchley, Literary Critic, U.S.A. The author has convinced the readers that love is something far beyond the marriage tie and the fulfillment of love can be attained without marriage bondage. The author has achieved a minor revolution without any paraphernalia of revolution in the fourth part of the novel – The Quest, India. The author makes free use of – not interior monologue as such, but – interior dialogue of the character with the self, almost resembling the dramatic monologue of Browning. Roopa, Sandhya, Raja Rao and Prasad to a considerable extent and Tara and Sathyam to a limited degree indulge in rationalization, trying to analyse their drive sand impulses – The Journal of Indian Writing in English. Overall, Benign Flame is a unique attempt at exploring adult relationships and sexuality in the contemporary middle-class. All the characters come alive with their cravings and failings, their love and their lust. Benign Flame blurs the lines and emphasizes that life is not all black and white - it encompasses the full spectrum of living - Indian Book Chronicle.
