Tp: The theme Identity applies to the episode the Eye of the Beholder.
ReplyDeleteSD: The nurse was kind to the Ms.Tyler.
Elab: She was kind because she felt bad for Ms.Tyler.
SD: The Doctor told her how her condition was.
Elab: He told her how it was because he would have to tell her sooner or later.
SD: The President was giving a speech about conformity.
Elab: He did that because he thinks everyone need to look beautiful (ugly).
Closer: That is why i think Identity is the theme.
The theme “Identity” applies to the Twilight Zone episode “Eye of the beholder.”
ReplyDeleteOne way is that if you think you’re ugly, other’s might not think so, because if others think you’re beautiful, thats all that matter’s. An example of this is when Mr. Smith is talking to Janet, he says that beauty matters in the eye of the beholder.
Another way it applies is that if you look different than what people consider normal, that doesn’t mean you’re not, because all people are born different. An example of this is when janet and the nurse are having a conversation in the beginning of the episode, Janet says that she used to look up at the clods all the time until they became “things.”
One other way is that people don’t have control over who they are or what they look like, because no one is perfect, and no one will ever be. An example of this is when the TV comes on in the hospital, and the president is talking about people being different. he was trying to say that people shouldn’t be different.
“Eye of the beholder” teaches you a really important lesson, that personal beauty matters most in the eye of the beholder.
TS the theme in “The Eye of The Beholder” is IDENTITY.
ReplyDeleteSD the theme is IDENTITY through the Doctor
Elab because, the Doctor said that its not fair even though she looks different and Ms.Tyler kept pressuring the Doctor it not do it, but he did it anyway.

SD the last point in the episode where it showed IDENTITY is with the President
