2.Some essentials about The Enormous Radio

In the story radio is a symbol of voyeurism.(voyeurism: stimulation derived from secretly watching people and their acts.) Irene listened her neighbours' conversations all the time by the radio. Followed all their actions in other words, she attacked to their private lives. She was a voyeurist and actually she was not in a healthy mood. She tried to listen the radio while no one was in the room so she was obsessed to listen others' secrets.

Let's think the similarities between the enormous radio& media
Nowadays, majority of people are captured by voyeurism. Media encourages people to deal with others' secrets or private lives. This is not just consist of celebrities' lives also ordinary people are followed by some reality shows or contentions.People like to watch this kind of shows which are full of voyeurism. Because i think everybody carries voyeurism inside them. Media helps people to reveal their voyeurism. Actually we are not different from Irene, may be we don't have any radio which helps us to listen our neighbours but thanks to MEDIA we have lots of programs which helps us to follow people closely. For example, we have a great voyeurism source which called as 'paparazzi'. This helps us to attack people's private lives deeply particularly to celebrities' lives and there are lots of people like Irene who are obsessed by voyeurism. I also admit that i like to watch this kind of programmes so am i also fan of voyeurism :p? This is a question for all of us:) This story can be a message for us in order to accept our voyeuristic way:)

  1. Wow Simge, what a great blog! You've added 4 posts so far, and you're thinking a lot about our class materials. Yes, I agree with you: I think there's at least a small voyeur living in each of us! :))
