The Theme of Masks

Have you ever worn a mask before? The mask may not be a costume mask, but it is a mask that makes you feel happy, or looks cool, or what makes it feel like it is not normal. You have a chance. To adapt to the crowd, please use the mask to get something we can not reach. Masks are becoming common today, due to the pressure of the 'in' group, or the pressure of success. Books using masks often show many implications of masks.

Continuously, the theme of masking and disguise can be combined with each other. Characters can use camouflage literally or figuratively. The mask itself is a literal example of this theme; pretending to be nonexistent is considered a figurative example. Other topics that may lead you to acquire an identity that hides or disguises a hero or an opponent include gender, power, even cannibalism. Examples of subject's sexuality and power can be seen in Gillian Flynn's novel "Gone Girl" and the already mentioned drama "Titus Andronicus".

Revenge as a type is consistent with various themes that frequently appear in various texts of the past several centuries. These themes include, but are not limited to, camouflage, masking, sex, cannibalism, grotesque, body fluids, strength, intense killing, confidentiality, and so on. Each theme and the concept of dramatic satire play an important role in the success of literary revenge. Dramatic satire is a literary means and audiences have knowledge that can not be used for fiction, drama, movie characters. The goal is to exacerbate the tragic events that develop by creating tension between the audience's behavior and the character. The story of retaliation is important

A common deformation of animal mask themes is the composition of several different animal characteristics within a single mask, sometimes accompanied by human characteristics. Fusion of characteristics of different animals is sometimes a means to indicate abnormalities, special virtues or high status. For example, polo secret societies of Senufo people in Côte d'Ivoire celebrate the special ability of society by combining three different "dangerous" symbols: antelope angle, crocodile tooth and fang. Another famous example is Kifube Mask of Pine Leaf (Congo Basin) mixed with zebra (or Okapi) stripes, crocodile teeth, chameleon's eyes, moon mouth, cock feathers and owl feathers. wait
