What does the storm symbolize in terms of characters and events in Act 3? How does Shakespeare create this symbolism? Why would this be an effective visual for his audience during the production of the play?

The storm symbolizes King Lear’s mental state, that is starting to get progressively worse as the play continues on. The unpredictiveness of the storm represents Lear’s decisiveness and decision making skills not being as sharp as one act ago.  Shakespeare creates symbolism because he mirrors the events of storm with the King’s mind. The internal confusion that ravages the poor King’s mind symbolizes the ravaging of the storm; even the danger of the storm can be mirrored in his head, as whatever is going on in his mind, may indeed be dangerous. It also allows the king to realize his own mortality and he begins to feel humility, starting to become rational again as the storm calms. This would be an effective visual for his audience during the production of the play, as it progresses the plot, became a turning point for Lear, nullified the threat, in the storm, and made it clear that the madness and unpredictability of the storm is the same battle that continues on in the king’s mind. The storm may also reflect humanity’s unpredictability as well, as the kingdom is falling apart as well.

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.
