Paper Summary:
The paper analyzes the topics of guilt and redemption in the 1920 film "Way Down West" by D.W. Griffin. The writer examines the characters and their need for redemption in light of their promiscuity. The paper further examines the attitude of the filmmaker towards women and their role in society, as well as his attitudes towards those with money, and those without. The writer concludes that in the end Anna, the female lead, is redeemed and once again accepted when she marries.From the Paper:
"In the structure of the film, Lennox Sanderson is the cad who seduces Anna and betrays her. Griffith may condemn Lennox, but he also seems to indulge him to a degree, much as society has tended to do at different times with the view that "boys will be boys.""More papers on "Way Down West":
