Methods for modely subtext in a word of art

Types of the subtext.Subtext can work in a variety of ways, depending on how information appears in a narrative. Here are a few key types of subtext:
Privilege Subtext

A privileged subtext is a subtext in which the audience has certain privileges over the characters in the story. In other words, the audience knows something the characters don't. For example, imagine a character who has three missed calls from his mother As readers, we cringe when we know she's about to learn that her sister is in a car accident that we've seen but don't know about yet.

Revelation Subtext

A revelation subtext is a subtext that over time reveals some truth of the story and leads to the revelation For example, imagine a boy trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up Consider becoming a firefighter, police officer, or even an actor However, throughout his childhood he likes to draw, paint and sculpt. The implication of the revelation is that his hobby has always been his calling: he will be an artist Subtext through the promise

A subtext of promises is a subtext in which the audience expects the author to fulfill certain promises. In other words, the audience expects the story to unfold the way stories usually unfold: the audience expects a plot line that makes sense and intertwines, characters that have revelations and significant changes, and characters and motifs that make sense. and they fit the story suitable When the author fails to please the audience in this way, the story is considered poorly written or depressing because of the subtext Subtext through questions

Subtext through questions is subtext created when readers and audiences have questions about the story, such as how the plot develops or what a character will do Such questions naturally arise in a well-written story as an unwritten subtext The subtexts are proof that the stories are not superficial. On the contrary, they have a lot of information when you learn to read between the lines and understand what the story really means Subtext allows controversial posts that would otherwise be questioned or unpublished to reach the public. It allows characters who act a certain way to feel and think differently. The subtext weaves through an underground treasure trove of hidden messages, meanings, and themes that many readers don't often think of. Subtext is common in literature and sometimes goes unnoticed due to its subterranean nature

Example 1

From F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsy.”
“I’ve got a man in England who buys me clothes. He sends over a selection of things at the beginning of each season, spring and fall.”
He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them one by one before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-colored disarray. While we admired he brought more and the soft, rich heap mounted higher—shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple green and lavender and faint orange with monograms of Indian blue. Suddenly with a strained sound Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily.
“They’re such beautiful shirts,” she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. “It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such—such beautiful shirts before.”
Daisy, while an emotional character, could not possibly be crying over the beauty of these shirts. Rather, she is crying over the subtext: she was not with Gatsby due to his lack of wealth, and now, he is wealthy and they still are not together.

Example 2

“After the Diagnosis” by Christian Wiman.
No remembering now
when the apple sapling was blown
almost out of the ground.
No telling how,
with all the other trees around,
it alone was struck.
It must have been luck,
he thought for years, so close
to the house it grew.
It must have been night.
Change is a thing one sleeps through
when young, and he was young.
If there was a weakness in the earth,
a give he went down on his knees
to find and feel the limits of,
there is no longer.
If there was one random blow from above
the way he’s come to know
from years in this place,
the roots were stronger.
Whatever the case,
he has watched this tree survive
wind ripping at his roof for nights
on end, heats and blights
that left little else alive.
No remembering now…
This poem has a complicated subtext, as the poet remarks on a tree which has avoided falling for years but has now been struck. The subtext is that Wiman himself had just been diagnosed with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, an incurable blood cancer, which is now in remission. The poet examined trees as a way of subtly examining himself having been struck by the disease.
Subtext can be found throughout pop culture in movies, songs, speeches, and advertisements.

Example 1

Toy Story 3
The toys face a major challenge when Andy becomes older and he no longer wants to play with them. One subtext of this movie is to adapt and become useful or become discarded. Toys of the past will come to be replaced by new toys, just as people who do not adapt will come to lose their jobs and be replaced with workers with new skills. It’s a dark message from a typically heartwarming movie.

Example 2

Avatar .Avatar is remarkably similar to Pocahontas in its message that the earth must be loved and taken care of in order for us to survive in peace and harmony. The world in Avatar shows that such harmony is not only possible but necessary when humans attempt to steal great energy from their world but learn that doing so would kill it.
