  • Purgatory in the Popular Imagination an Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By
    .- Purgatory in the Popular Imagination An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Jean A. Siebert Thesis Advisor Dr. Christina Shea Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 1994 Expected Date of Graduation May 1994 ~ /', \ a/{f I , ' . Purpose of Thesis This discussion of purgatory and its influence in the popular imagination relies on film as the medium of expression. The five movies selected, Jacob's Ladder, Defending your Life, Heaven Can Wait, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and Heart and Souls, all depict differing thoughts about purgatory. Since the concept of purgatory has changed over time, the concepts in these movies also change. A history of the beliefs about purgatory and how those beliefs have changed, along with the examination of the five movies depicting various characteristics of purgatory, is the main purpose of this thesis. - An old man is lying on a hospital bed. He appears to be about to take his last breath. A young woman was just told that she has a terminal illness and doesn't have long to live. What will happen after they die? Their bodies will be buried or cremated, but what then? Is that the end of their existence, or just the beginning? Roman Catholics believe in heaven, the final positive relation with God, and hell, where the human life ends in final disaster. Additionally, they believe in the concept of purgatory. For them purgatory is the state, place or condition in the next world between heaven and hell. In this state there is purifying suffering for those who have died and are still in need of such purification.

A: I wanted to present a group of children on whom absolute values are being imposed. What I was trying to say was that if someone adopts an absolute principle, when it becomes absolute then it becomes inhuman. The original idea was a children’s choir, who want to make absolute principles concrete, and those who do not live up to them. Of course, this is also a period piece: we looked at photos of the period before World War I to determine costumes, sets, even haircuts. I wanted to describe the atmosphere of the eve of world war. There are countless films that deal with the Nazi period, but not the pre-period and pre-conditions, which is why I wanted to make this film.

  • The Piano Lesson
    THE PIANO LESSON Synopsis The Piano Lesson is set in Pittsburgh in 1936. Boy Willie has come to his uncle’s house to retrieve a piano that holds significant historical and sentimental value to the family. A battle ensues over the possession of the piano, which carries the legacy and opportunities of the characters and determines the choices they must make. Characters AVERY: Thirty-eight years old, Avery is a preacher who is trying to build up his congregation. He is honest and ambitious, finding himself opportunities in the city that were unavailable to him in rural areas of the South. While fervently religious, he manages to find the time to court Berniece after her husband’s death. BOY WILLIE: Brother to Berniece, Boy Willie is a thirty year old brash, impulsive, and fast-talking man. He has an infectious grin and a boyishness that is apt for his name. His story provides the central conflict for the play in that he plans to sell the family piano in order to buy land that his family worked on as slaves. He feels it’s important he does this in order to avenge his father, who grew up property-less— but not everyone in the family agrees. LYMON: Boy Willie’s long time friend is a twenty-nine year old who speaks little, but when he does with a disarming straight-forwardness. As he flees the law, he makes a plan to begin anew in the North. Eliciting stories from the families past, Lymon proves a vehicle by which we learn about the family.
