False Hope

Have you eer tried making yourself believe of the things that werent re wholey real? Well, if you did, thusly that was a normal thing experienced by another(prenominal)s, experienced by you and experienced by me. moody- trust. That was the right term to be used for those state who ar livelihood on holding on to promises which they approximation it provide happen soon, tomorrow, the next day until the next-next-next days and ever. treacherously-hope is a vague incidence. It was an false declaration of testimony uttered by those large number who be thoroughly of making promises yet cant stand for it. Promises.Promises and false-hope are thus supplementary to each other. Because if thither are no promises that has been said, then there leave behind be no psyche who testament continuously keep an eye for such pledges. There will be no some i who will keep on waiting for un reach tomorrows. And there will be no someone wholl only be an innocent believer of alone of th ose promises. Well, the very purpose why I wrote this article is to communicate my thoughts of believing so many things which are then things that were set to be forgotten. I myself is amenable that Ive ceaselessly been a victim of this shot thing.But then, I merely accepted those things . And so, Ive come to a point of putting this into this piece of writing. Actually, Im non touch modality bad due to failed promises of so many people surround me. I just wrote this because I do believe that Im non the only one who had experienced such thing. For a broader perspective, its not intentional. It happens because others didnt want their belongings to directly lose their hope. It happens because they likewise thought that they could provide the things they promised to give yet after times of reaching to compensate it possible, still they wont be able to do so.Sometimes, people didnt int lay off to confer false-hope. Its just that their capacity to implement their promises was n ot enough. But then, on the other hand, some t complete to do this just to let other hope for nothing. Just same for example, a courtship between a lady and a gentleman. There are many times where guys had expected their dreamed girls to give them their awaited-yes answer. Theyve tried so hard to prove them theyre deserving. Yet at the end, theyll end up disappointed. At home, I know weve been encountering this one often times.You capability got demented because youll be going turn out somewhere with your family only when it will just be postponed due to so many reasons either valid or invalid reasons. You might expect something from someone moreover expectations will just fail. There are still so many instances where false-hope was its ending application. And this is actually normal as I said on the first tell. And I guess, there is only one certain thing we must do in order not to be a victim of this everyplace and over once more. Dont believe too much.I didnt mean of losi ng your trust to someone or to be a cast out thinker. What I mean is dont be 100% sure as shooting of the things being promised to you. Just expect for both sides. Just think that it might happen and it might not. Because the more that you expect the more that it will bring you failures. Though we must always expect for the best but as I said we deal to expect for both side. Well, Ill end up locution Any man can make mis starts, but only an idiot persists in his error. By Cicero. Thanks for reading anyway.False HopeLeanne Whittemore Lecturer John McDonough ENGL 299-014 02/21/2013 Essay 1 False Hope The characters in The Glass Menagerie all hope for a better incoming which is alter with success and happiness. This hope flickers throughout the chat up and is lowestly put out all together in the blockage actions of the play. In The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, this smell out of hope is symbolized by airy. It is shown in the very descriptive show directions, the s pecific objects pertaining to decrease like candles and lamps, and by the colorful images of rainbows throughout the play.While providing the characters with actions the very descriptive stage directions also provide a sense of emotions for them to act out. In scene sextuplet while Laura and Amanda are waiting excitingly for Jim to come over, Williams renders Laura as being piece of translucent glass touched by light, minded(p) a fugitive radiance, not actual, not lasting (1748). Williams uses this desire of light to describe Lauras emotions and livelinesss during this scene. By stating Laura was given a momentary radiance Williams illustrates Lauras hope of finding someone to crawl in.In scene seven, when Laura and Jim are talking, Williams uses descriptive stage directions to describe Lauras feeling of hope in regard to light. This happens right around the time that Jim attempts to being engaged. The directions say that Jim smiles at Laura with a warmth and charm whichlight sher inwardly (1762). Then, when she finds out that Jim is engaged, the stage directions describe how the holy candles on the altar of Lauras face have been snuffled out (1768). twain descriptions show hope in Laura, while one is her hope that Jim is single, and the other being her hope being destroyed when she finds out that he is not.From the beginning, the directions, as well as the dialogue, directly tell the readers that the play is dimly illumine (1723). Then in the beginning of the final scene, all the lights go out (because tomcat has not paid the electric bill), and the only lighting left-hand(a) on stage is candlelight. Through the use of light in the play, it is clear that the play does not leave the characters looking towards the bright hope of their future, but realizing their dim reality. For Amanda, her tender floor lamp represents her hope for the future.In the fifth scene, when Tom says that Jim is access over, Amanda states that she has been paying for a bran d parvenu floor lamp that she will have sent out for the occasion (1744). By the sixth scene, before Jim arrives, the new lamp, with its rose silk shade is put in the living direction (1747), stand for her hope for Jim to come back. This hope turns out to be pointless, which Amanda recognizes by stating that all the expense has basically been for nothing, and the first one she lists is the new floor lamp (1771).The new lamp is a symbol of hope to Amanda, and its presence in her living room when Jim arrives makes her feel that there is hope for Laura and Jim. Like all other hope in the play, it was a useless, waste of time and energy At the end of the play when Tom is finishing his dialogue , the symbol of hope turns to Lauras candles. Tom speaks as if to Laura, I reach for a cigarette, I cross the street, I run into the movies or a bar, I buy a drink, I speak to the nearest stranger- anything that can blow your candles out (1772).Tom interprets these candles as Lauras hope, whic h he cant seem to get out of his brain. He doesnt want the family to suffer dealing with false hope any longer. He sees the world as a dark and stormy place, by saying For nowadays the world is lit by lightning Blow out your candles, Laura- and so goodbye (1772). Then Laura actually blows out the candles, extinguishing the final light and making the stage become dark and lonely. This symbolizes not only a goodbye to Tom, but also saying goodbye to the hope of love and a brighter future for the Wingfield family.In an essay titled Williams The Glass Menagerie, Bert Cardullo comments that, when Laura blows the candles out, The implication is that no gentleman caller will ever attain her life again (11), which, truly means that hope will never again enter Amanda and Lauras lonely lives. The symbol of the rainbow in The Glass Menagerie shows the thaumaturgy of hope or false hope. Right when the characters almost reach what they hoped for it always seems to disappear. Lauras fragile gla ss animals are used to show this sense of false hope.In the seventh scene, when Laura is talking to Jim, she shows Jim the glass unicorn and says, Hold him over the light, he loves the light You see how the light shines through him? (1764). . As Jim holds the unicorn and comments It sure does shine, one can imagine the rainbow ray that the unicorn creates. This unicorn comes to symbolize the love that Laura has been waiting all her life for. This love comes to her, however fleetingly, in the person of Jim (Cardullo 3). However, like the rainbow light of the glass unicorn, this hope of love is just an illusion.Tom mentions rainbows again in his final words as he describes how he abandons Amanda and Laura, he says, I persist the lighted window of a shop whereperfumeis sold. The window is filled with pieces of colored glass, tiny transparent bottles in delicate colors, like bits of a shattered rainbow. The image of a shattered rainbow fits perfectly with Toms closing words due to th e fact that Toms defection from the family seems to shatter any type of hope the Wingfield family had.Williams last directions to make the stage completely dark seem like a symbol of the future of the Wingfield family dark and lonely. As far as Amanda sees it, without a man to take care of her and Laura they left with nothing but loneliness. Laura will never be able to work Tom left his family behind, and it seems that no suitor will ever enter the womens lives again. Cardullo notes that, The character of Tom is based in part on Tennessee Williams himself, and Laura is modeled after Williams beloved sister, Rose (12).Since the play is autobiographical, it has the feeling that Williams is attempting to show us the readers something that happened in his past, implying that hope never did come to this family. When the lights go out at the end of the play, it is dark for good. Works Cited Cardullo, Bert. Williamss The Glass Menagerie. The Explicator. 22 March 1997. . paragraphs 1-12. W illiams, Tennessee.
