- ... through Europeans living among the Burmese. Orwell notes that “ . . . if a European woman went through the bazaars alone somebody would probably spit beetle juice over her dress”. The British have little control over the Burmese harassment and can do nothing about the fact that Burmans are treating their women with no respect. The British have tenuous control over the Indians. If a revolt were to occur in India, then only the ... he says, “When a nimble Burman tripped me up on the football field and the referee (another Burman) looked the other way, the crowd yelled with hideous laughter”. He can do nothing about the Burmans harassment. He also says the Burmans laugh and “jeer” at him all day long. He can do nothing because there are so many Indians and so few British in India. Orwell says, “No one had the guts to raise a riot, . . .”. None of the Burmans needed to riot because the British were taking their verbal abuses and not doing anything to stop the harassment.

- ... others. Although the play is centered on Lysistrata, the story is truly propelled by the ideas of sex and reason. The dialogue of Lysistrata is filled with double meaning, and most every character takes the sexual meaning. During the oath, the flash of wine symbolizes the male sex organ, and the black bowl the female genitalia. Dionysus, as god of both fertility and wine, functions here in both aspects. The action ... enjoy intercourse. The burning torches brought by the men’s chorus are an ironic symbol of the passions raging in men's loins. Their attempt to batter through the gate is nothing else than a sexual penetration, and foreshadows the attempts of Cinesias later in the play. Within Lysistrata, the pouring of water on the men to douse their sexual urges parallels the dampening of their husbands' passions to which the women have sworn.

Rather than showing any signs of distress and guilt as he did in the novel, Harker immediatly consents to the calls of the vampires and engages in a very sexual act with all three of them. Like the novel, but more so in the movie, the three vampire women are portrayed as mere objects of Jonathan Harker’s sexual fantasy. The second scene in the movie in which an elaboration was used was when Dracula lured Lucy Westenra from her house at night. In the novel, Lucy is known to be a frequent ...

These intentions tend to throw the other companion into a belief that their partner loves them when in fact they don’t thus causing heartbreak. Most of these intentions are sexual and physical.
