THT and TSL Paper 2 Final Topics

  Daniel Arcega Mrs. Emerick IB English HL II Compare the presentation and function of villains or anti-heroes in at least two works of prose fiction that you have studied. Both The Handmaid’s Tale and The Scarlet Letter have two antagonists: society and a person, which both serve to affect the protagonists’ freedom. The societies within the two novels oppress their protagonists’ freedom, yet contrarily also elevate them in some ways. In The Scarlet Letter , Hester’s life throughout the novel is under the strict watch of society. However, its influence transforms as time goes on. Society initially rejects Hester due to her sin. She is unable to make any lasting connections with others. (quote here) Society’s judgment eventually shifts to see Hester in a more positive light. She eventually becomes known as a treasure of the town. She feels more free to walk around the town. (quote here) Her society both oppressed her and raised her up.

Hamlet and The Stranger Dialectical Portfolio

Daniel Arcega Mrs. Emerick IB English HL II Hamlet and The Stranger Dialectical Portfolio Part 1: Use of the death of a parent Hamlet : Father is dead Learn much about the character because of it Spurs him into action The Stranger : Mother is dead Learn much about the character because of it Forces him into action     In both Hamlet  and The Stranger , the main characters experience the death of a parent early in the novel to introduce the readers to their characters and spur them into action.     Hamlet opens around two months after the titular character's father has died.

Hamlet and Stranger Creative Portfolio

Daniel Arcega Mrs. Emerick IB English HL II Turning Point Art     Above is a picture that I drew of what I believe are two important moments in Hamlet and The Stranger . I chose these two events to draw not only because they are turning points for the main character, but also because how they compare and contrast. Both scenes set in motion the circumstances that lead to the main characters' deaths. The scene on the left is Meursault shooting the man on the ground. The scene on the right is Hamlet's conversation with the ghost in act 1 scene 5. As soon as Meursault pulls the trigger, he seals his fate to ridiculed for his character and die. Similarly, when Hamlet agrees to avenge his father, he is set on a path in which his personal failures bring ruin to himself and those around him. The setting on the left is overwhelmingly bright due to the sun, and Meursault is the one in the dominant position. Contrarily, the Hamlet scene takes place at night with Hamlet in awe/fear of the...
