Freud claims that “The most important instinctual drives are sexual”. Also, “society believes that no greater threat to civilization could arise than if the sexual instincts were to be liberated” (47-8). Describing 'repression' as a process an instinctual impulse undergoes to be made inoperative, he warns that such impulses proliferate 'in the dark' and require constant management lest they multiply and expand. This short summation of his theory on repression discusses what this means.

This presentation discusses the true nature of the horrific elements in the films 'Carrie' and 'Psycho'. In Carrie, the horror that Carrie embodies is locked up in her telekinetic power as well as her unpredictability, her shyness and her social awkwardness.

According to Grau, 'American History X' promotes antisemitism and racism through stylish cinematography, sound editing techniques as well as the manipulation of the viewer, turning the film into little more than propaganda. In this presentation, I propose that Kaye’s film is neither outright propaganda, neither does it subvert racist claims unquestioningly, due to its unexpected final twist.

Frost's modulation of an austere and tragic view of life through the metaphysical use of detail – the convergence of the seen and unseen realms in his poetry. Frost's poetry does not, in my understanding, harbor some hidden hues of sadness and dark. Though he refers to winter, to cold, to dark, these elements are the 'chaotic stuff' out of which he carves his poetry. If anything, as in Birches, he adopts an attitude of observation and exploration, frequently emphasizing the journey, the pr...
