It is not about regular Birthday Parties. Its about Harold Pinter 's play The Birthday Party.    To see the original task click on the image.   Here is my observation regarding this work.... * Lulu's Character:  Lulu's character is a minor character in the play. In the movie it is difficult to focus on more than one or two character at a time. When Lulu was performing her character at the same time other important situation were going on parallel. So her scenes are omitted. * The effect of Menace:    The film successfully giving the effect of menace by using some techniques like..... - Knocking door - Water pouring - Ringing of Bell ...The same feeling I was not able to feel when reading the play. * The Lurking Danger:  I feel the lurking danger when the scene of Stanley and the two strangers was shown. The entry of McCain and Goldberg itself suggests the lurking danger for the family and Stanley. ...The same feeling was not...

Because today's world and people's lifestyle and the most important thing, the position of woman is different in today's world. In this novel she has focused on two ladies characters; Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe.  Here I am going to discuss some of the main topics of this novel. (To see the real study task click here.)   'What' a writer wants to say? The writer has used Stream of Consciousness technique to give her thoughts a material structure. She has described the complexity of human relations in her novel. How we are forced to live as per the rules of society.

The Embankment   Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy, In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement. Now see I That warmth’s the very stuff of poesy. Oh, God, make small The old star-eaten blanket of the sky, That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie. By T. E. Hulme (1883-1917)  Analysis : First, a short paraphrase of the poem: on London’s Embankment (an area well-known for homeless people sleeping rough), a ‘fallen gentleman’ reflects on his past and how he found pleasure in worldly social activities (the ‘finesse of fiddles’ suggesting musical gatherings, such as dances) and beautiful women – probably (given the ‘flash of gold heels on the hard pavement ‘) courtesans or prostitutes. But now, down on his luck and most probably sleeping rough ...
