From the Jacquard Loom (a very early punch-card-controlled device) in 1800, to the steam locomotive in 1814, to the diesel engine in 1892, and all of the various strange and wonderful things in between, it was a time of what appeared to be unlimited potential. The Victorian era was a time of incredible development in terms of manufacturing, technological development, and discovery. Over at the Steampunk Fashion livejournal site, macaodghain posted a well-written exploration of the "Victorian in Steampunk." While I don't agree with the contention that Steampunk is essentially Victorian, I love how macaodghain characterizes the Victorian era: ![]() ![]() Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.

To care about a character in a story, the audience needs a snapshot of who the character is to understand them and the motivations behind their actions. Take time in your film to explain to the audience who your characters are so they connect with them and understand their choices better. Always look for the human way into the story through the humanity of your heroes. These characters speak to a universal struggle that everyone faces in their lives, which allows audiences to see themselves in the characters that Snyder creates in his films. Snyder finds that the most relatable characters are the ones that are slightly dysfunctional misfits. Your goal is that your audience realizes that those heroes are versions of them. Make heroes relatable by making them face the same struggles all people do but in different ways. 10 Screenwriting Tips from Zack Snyder 1. ![]() ![]() ![]() The concept of creating the philosophers' stone was variously connected with all of these projects.

The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumass most famous and enduring novel, completed its serial publication in the summer of 1844, and by the time of its book. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But treasons and strategems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England, Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Time has weakened their resolve, and dispersed their loyalties. Two decades have passed since the famous swordsmen triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady in The Three Musketeers.
