What is the role of Winston Wolf in Pulp Fiction? An allegorical statement on reliance on counselors and consultants for simple tasks? Does he have a larger reflection as the externalized antisocial guide that other characters should have but lack?
The Wolf was a plot device that Quentin Tarantino added to Pulp Fiction it seems to give Harvey Keitel a role in the film. His presence makes little sense in the overall narrative and his absence wouldn't 't have changed the course of story.Why?The movie presents Jules and Vincent as being trained killers - They just killed three other people shortly beforehand, so Marvin's death might have been temporarily unsettling it would have hardly been the crisis that it shown to have been. And it hardly would have required the assistance of a “specialist" such Winston.The Jimmy/Bonnie interlude was ridiculous and it could have been handled over the phone - Two killers come by someone's with a body requesting help. Jimmy's response is to whine that his wife is coming home. Really? The most obvious solutions are for Jimmy to contact his wife and delay her return or for the two killers to dispatch Jimmy, wait for his wife,dispatch her as well and then leave Marvin's remains in Jimmy's house. When the police investigated the scene they may suspect that this was the work of other killers; but it would have taken weeks or months or longer to possible tie the murders to Jules, Vincent or even Marcellus Wallace. Again, the above could have all been done over the phone.Capital murder is a death penalty offense in California. - That means that anybody who is caught in the periphery of such an act (or acts) risks life imprisonment or again the death penalty. The Wolf, being a "problem solver" would have known this and limited his exposure as a result. He also would have strongly recommended the removal of any extraneous witness (i.e. Jimmy and, if necessary, his wife Bonnie).If Jules and Vincent had simply parked the vehicle in a remote area, stripped off their upper blood-soaked clothing and then walked away from the vehicle (after making certain that they didn't leave any prints or obvious evidence) thus "solving" the problem. The Wolf could have walked them through that over the phone or (wait for it) they could have figured this out for themselves.Again, the addition of Winston Wolf to the narrative simply was conceit by Tarantino and if the character's scenes had been omitted, the film could have continued undisturbed.
What does the allegory refer to in "Time--Real and Imaginary" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge?
Time Real And Imaginary Coleridge is speaking about sister and brother running the endeless race. The boy is blind and reprents our lives. each and every individual must understand that we are living the blind life, whereby we dont know about what is going on tomorrow. we don`t know our last days but in our we have plans. but the girl is aware of what is going on and what will take place in the fututre. the girl represents imagianry time. this is veryy common and is known as Christian belief. when someone has ans idea of what will take place in 50 years to come s/he associates him/herself with "Imaginary time" @ Read more:- http://www.poetryconnection.net/poets/Sa...

What r examples of allusion, assonance, allegory, from a book and the name of da arthor; give me all or just 1
I know what an allegory is. It is a story or novel used to represent or describe another one (usually an event in history). A good example would be Animal Farm by George Orwell. It is about the russian revolution.
Can you help me re phrase a paragraph from "Plato's Allegory of the Cave?
What Plato is saying is that learning, advancing, extending of self is more important than any physical thing that you can do in a day. That rising to be that evolved person is the most important task that we are given. He then says that to be a better person at the close of each day is the goal and then references the whole allegory by saying we must ascend from below- the cave or ignorance- into greater understanding and to be our highest selves.
What is the allegory about Jonah and the whale, in the Christian Bible?
Sold-out-to-Jesus Christians don’t believe it’s an allegory. With so many miracles described in the Bible, there’s no reason to believe the Jonah Bible story couldn’t happen, word for word.Jesus authenticates and references the event in Mathew 12:39–40.An evil and adulterous generation[that is morally unfaithful to God] craves and demands a [miraculous] sign; but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah; for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.After completing a Jonah Bible study “How to Flee From a Big Fish, it's obvious the prophet didn't have a lick of sense. The belly of a fish was his 3-day home when obeying God was the better option. The book of Jonah is more than a "whale of a fish story". The biblical story shows how God uses people, animals and natural elements to offer repentance to a sinful nation and a rebellious messenger.Along Jonah's journey, he misses what pleases God, especially when it comes to loving others."And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt" (Deuteronomy 10:19).Jonah fled because his perspective of Nineveh is different than God's—God one, Jonah zero. The bottom line message of the book—obey God quickly before the big fish in life swallow you.Theologians consider Jonah as a type of Christ offering salvation for sinful and wayward actions. Many also acknowledge that the 3-day resurrection from the fish foreshadows the coming of Christ. Jonah's response (running from God) exemplifies behavior when God's challenges seem too daunting. God's mercy and grace, extended to all mankind, is equally noticeable throughout the writing.Jonah’s behavior is typical of an Christian who doesn’t want to do what God says. The book of Jonah reveals to readers the prophet’s humanity and God’s infinite mercy to all mankind, including a less-than-obedient messenger.Your friend in Christ,Betsy
Explain the concept of allegory using Macbeth particularly particularly, not long, please! 10 points for sure!?
An allegory is a story illustrating an idea or a moral principle in which objects take on symbolic meanings. Thus, if you were to take each act literally, there would be a moral lesson in each section attached to an object: swords, witches' cauldrons, blood, woods, etc., to name a few. You could consider the allegorical objects this way: Swords = power, cauldrons = prophecy/fate; blood = guilt; Woods = Revenge/Hidden danger. As a political allegory, Macbeth in part serves as a warning to potential despots. As critic Stephen Greenblatt has observed, "There is always someone who escapes the murderer's net, someone who poses a threat seeks to redress an injury or simply remembers what it felt like to be free and unafraid." Macbeth is more interested in power than in loyalty. In each subsequent act, we find that Lord Acton's observation: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" is true. Macbeth eventually will stop at nothing not even his own beheading, to hold on to power: I will not yield To kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet, And to be baited with the rabble's curse... I will try the last. (Act 5.11.27-29 & 32.) In many ways Macbeth is a Christian allegory: Duncan represents the Christ-like figure and Macbeth represents Judas. Like Judas Iscariot, Macbeth kills the Christian King - he has Christ’s blood on his hands. Like Christ’s miracles, the blood is metaphysical and able to spread. Not even great Neptune’s ocean could wash the blood from his hands – "No," he says, "this my hand will rather / The multitudinous seas incarnadine, / Making the green one red" (2.2.60-3). That’s how powerful the blood is. For more on this one go here http://www.lotsofessays.com/viewpaper/17... "The extensive Christian imagery in Macbeth, in fact, seems to represent the foundation that the entire story is built upon the allegorical connection between the murder of King Duncan and the murder of Jesus Christ."
