	Chapter Affectionated <i>to</i> Afflictive of A by Webster's Dictionary (1913 Edition)
		Affliction and sorrow are terms of wide and general application; grief and distress have reference to particular cases.
		Sorrow and grief are much alike in meaning, but grief is the stronger term of the two, usually denoting poignant mental suffering for some definite cause, as, grief for the death of a dear friend; sorrow is more reflective, and is tinged with regret, as, the misconduct of a child is looked upon with sorrow.
		Affliction is allayed, grief subsides, sorrow is soothed, distress is mitigated.

	Affliction (1998): Reviews
		Affliction is a harsh experience, but the harshness isn't a matter of punishing the audience or of the director, Schrader, showing off his toughness: That unvarnished harshness is the very essence of the material.
		Affliction could be their (Nolte, Coburn) finest couple of hours on film; they do seem to be father and son, rather than actors playing these roles.
		Affliction is a work of realist art rich in quotidian detail, a Grimm fairy tale about a community under siege, and a lament for a good man gone bad for nothing.

	AFFLICTION in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		Thus Saul's mental affliction is attributed to an "evil spirit," which is yet said to be "from Yahweh" (1 Sam 16:14; 18:10; 19:9); and the fall of Ahab is said by Micaiah to be due to the "lying spirit" which enticed him to his doom, in obedience to God's command (1 Ki 22:20-22).
		Paul attributed his bodily affliction to an evil angel sent by Satan (2 Cor 12:7), though he recognized that the evil agent was subordinate to God's purpose of grace, and was the means of moral discipline (1 Cor 12:7,9).
		It makes no difference to the meaning of the afflictions whether we understand by the Servant the whole Hebrew nation, or the pious section of it, or an individual member of it, and whether the speakers in Isa 53 are the Jewish nation or the heathen.

		"Affliction," which director Paul Schrader adapted from Russell Banks' novel, is about what happens when one of those frozen souls starts to thaw, and finds itself in hell.
		"Affliction" is a harsh experience, but the harshness isn't a matter of punishing the audience or of the director, Schrader, showing off his toughness: That unvarnished harshness is the very essence of the material.
		And part of the reason that "Affliction" is so uncommonly powerful might be that, while we recognize Schrader's intelligence at work, we aren't prepared for what else he brings to the film.

		(1) The thought of affliction as a discipline or form of Divine teaching is found in Job, especially in the speeches of Elihu, who insists that tribulation is intended as a method of instruction to save man from the pride and presumption that issue in destruction (Job 33:14-30; 36:8-10,15 the Revised Version (British and American)).

	TheMovieBoy Review - Affliction (1997)
		As "Affliction" opens, it is Halloween night, although it certainly doesn't appear to be, as the entire town is covered in a heavy blanket of snow.
		"Affliction" reminded me of an equally brilliant previous film from 1998, "The Celebration," which dealt with many of the same topics, such as the hurtful wounds and hatred in a family.
		As I watched "Affliction," I was not quite sure where everything was headed, and the masterfully-done climax caught me by utter surprise, and left me with feelings of uneasiness, which was entirely appropriate since the film was only staying true to itself.

	Affliction - Rotten Tomatoes
		Arguably Scharder's strongest film in years, Affliction is a powerful reverie on family curse, how incontrollable anger, drinking, and violence almost inevitably pass on from one generation to the next.
		Affliction is one of Paul Schrader's most subtle and confident films, and damn hard to shake off.
		Affliction is a shattering film, a dose of bracing naturalism based on Russell Banks' most lacerating novel.

	Light Affliction and Eternal Glory
		From the cradle to the coffin, affliction and sorrow are the appointed lot of man. He comes into the world with a wailing cry, and he often leaves it with an agonizing groan.
		It is THEIR afflictions which are light, and endure but for a moment; it is their griefs and sorrows which "work for them a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." And these afflictions, by way of clearness, we may divide into two leading classes.
		Affliction comes with stretched out hand and empties the soul of all earthly happiness, all perishing joys, and all carnal delights; and by sweeping out of it all these anti-Christs; for anti-Christs they are– prepares it for Christ.

		All her adult life she longed to participate in the Christian sacraments, but as she notes in her letters to her friend Father Perrin, she felt called to be a believer outside the church, one who could not condone the intellectual dishonesty of swallowing dogma without truly believing it.
		Affliction makes God appear to be absent for a time, more absent than a dead man, more absent than light in the utter darkness of a cell.
		Affliction is anonymous before all things; it deprives its victims of their personality and makes them into things.

		Paul Schrader's Affliction, adapted from the novel by Russell Banks (The Sweet Hereafter), charts the slow descent of small-town sheriff Wade Whitehouse (a raspy, gruffly restrained Nick Nolte) into violence, the legacy of the corrupt love of an abusive, alcoholic father.
		The power of "Affliction" is in the characters of the father and son.
		If I were pressed to describe Affliction in one word, I think that word would be "difficult." Now, don't get me wrong, the film is a compelling, well-made portrait of man's descent into madness, but the tone and subject matter are designed to disturb, and that's exactly what they do.

	Some Thoughts on Affliction
		The word "affliction" is used in most English translations of the Bible to cover a range of subjects including disease, disability, persecution, oppression, and even death.
		His purpose in affliction cannot be understood by rationalising, or by synthesising religious theories.
		Therefore, though the abounding consolation of Christian affliction does not blot out his penal character; yet the child of God is not so miserable as he seems to be (2Cor.6;10).

		In order for there to be relief, there has to be a blameless, afflicted person with whom we identify and whose affliction has been imposed by some external cause.
		The relief frame is an instance of a more general rescue scenario in which there is a hero (the reliever), a victim (the afflicted), a crime (the affliction), a villain (the cause of affliction) and a rescue (the relief).
		It presupposes a conceptual metaphor: Taxes are an affliction, proponents of taxes are the causes of affliction (the villains), the taxpayer is the afflicted (the victim) and the proponents of tax relief are the heroes who deserve the taxpayers' gratitude.

	Affliction - Nitrate Online Review
		You won’t get it (until after you leave the theater), but director-writer Paul Schrader fashions a marvelous tale of one man’s downward emotional spiral in a world in which he alienates/eliminates his family and friends.
		The visual style nearly plays like another character on screen, be it the somber footage filled with long, wintry shadows, the hand-held visions of the protagonist’s childhood, or the monotone re-enactments of possible criminal behavior in the backwoods and back rooms of snow-bound, four-wheel-drive Lawford.
		Affliction doesn’t carry any fore-warnings for its viewers of the depression to follow.

	[EMLS 1.2 (August 1995): 5.1-11] Affliction and Flight in Herbert's Poetry: A Note
		This fifth affliction poem is a comment on the means of salvation.
		The glance, though brief, is powerful and transforming--the antidote to affliction, and a medicine "Passing all cordials," a momentary revelation of providential design.
		This idea is implicit in "Miserie," as it is in so many of the poems, especially on "affliction"; but we appeal again to "Man" as the paradigm and apotheosis of mankind's-- and Herbert's--fruitful embracing of all experience.

		"Affliction" is not an uplifting film and it tends to drag throughout, but it can at times be very powerful and depressing.
		Small-town New Hampshire constable Nick Nolte investigates an accidental shooting that he believes to be murder; meanwhile, his personal life deteriorates as he is haunted by a horrific childhood terrorized by a drunken, abusive father (played brilliantly by James Coburn, who would earn an Oscar for the role).
		The final result of "Affliction" is melodramatic, slightly bleak, and overall implausible; however, the excellent roles carry this motion picture from the gutter and heighten it as a moderately effective drama.
