CONCLUSION

As I have objected before, for me it has not been easy to analyze this hypertext by the aspect of time. It would have been easier to work on the aspect of tools but I was not able to do that. This hypertext, first of all, catches the reader with its visual effects and qualities. The reader thinks it is a funny hypertext and that makes him to go on sailing through the factory. It is then when the reader will probably realize that the graphics he is watching have a meaning. That meaning and critic are shown in a parody way, so the reader sees how the author is joking at the same time that creates its own critic.


In my opinion, to the author readers are blind about the reality of the factory and the life around us, so he wants to open our eyes to the real problems in our society, problems that some others try to hide for us.
In many scenes of The Rainbow Factory, I have realized about the tools the author uses to show us that game of reality and hidden reality. Scenes like: the one where we can read sentences about how the rainbows are created and then each sentence is crossed by a red cartel with the word ”HERESY”; another one that shows us how protesters stay outside the factory protesting about the work they do inside and then a sentence down which says “ Get rid of them, George..” which means how the people who hide information in our life try to get rid protesters and the people who know what the reality is. These are some of the many examples we can find in Peter Howard’s hypertext.

From my point of view, this is one of the best hypertexts of Peter Howard and I liked his ironic way of showing reality very much. Working on it and analyzing it in a deep way have let me consider about the society I am living in. Also about that perfect things do not exist, so rainbows are not and will never be perfect things, just like life, not perfect and not fair.
