The Darkness Out There - The Signal Man - A comparetive study :: English Literature

The wickedness Out There - The Signal domain - A comparetive studyThe mood at the inception of both(prenominal) stories could not contrast any morethan it does. The tincture Out There has a beginning that is summeryand fresh. Whereas The Signal Man has a start that is actually eerie andcreates a sense of fear. A factor that runs all the way through thestory.The install that the beginning of The tail Out There has is thatMrs Rutters story hits the reader when they are not expecting itmaking it a lot more shocking. The mood change is massive. TheSignalman however, attempts to reassert the atmosphere from beginningto end. This makes the overall story more eerie by gripping the readerso that they want to read on to move what happens later on.Historically the two texts are set in very different periods. WithThe Signalman being set in the Victorian era and The Darkness OutThere being set around the 1970s. We can tell this because of numerousfactors such as the types of jobs men tioned. Signalmen worked on earlyrailways and were abandoned when electronic signalling was introducedinto railways. in like manner the language used in The Signalman seems to befrom around that era.Whereas Mrs Rutter is an old char involved in the second world war,but some of the things she mentions go us to believe that the storyis set around the 1970s.Physically both stories are set in a similar climate to individually other. Incosy little rooms, with atmosphere, that are lonely and secluded withan generate fire. Fire helps create a perception of evil as some(prenominal) peoplethink of hell as fire and brimstone orientated.As I have already said, the beginnings of the two stories arecontrasted. The Signalmans beginning is eerie and weird and doesntgive out a lot of information to the reader. This heart the reader isenticed to read on just to see how the story develops. The DarknessOut There, however, has a light and refreshing start. Leading us intoa false sense of securit y.But there are also similarities in the midst of the two. Both stories includeplaces that represent peoples fears. Packers End and the Tunnel.The main theme of The Darkness Out There is that people are notnecessarily what they seem to be. excessively in The Darkness Out There isthe theme of young people ripening up and realizing whom they are.Whereas the main theme in The Signalman is death and responsibilityand how it affectss people. So really they are similar in a way.
