Head Over Heels For Olivia
712 wordsTHE TRUTH BE TOLD Being deceitful is just another way to say that someone is being dishonest. I think it is safe to say that dishonesty is a common trait of everyone in the world. Everyone has been dishonest in their life to benefit himself or herself in one way or another. I myself have been dishonest with people such as my parents whether it was to stay out later or to go to a party. Dishonesty plays a large role in Twelfth Night where the characters seem to be constantly deceiving each other....

People Thought Goole
502 wordsThe finale of An Inspector Calls brought cheers but most of all it brought about confusion. It was obvious this play wasn't going to lay out a neat plot for the audience; it was going to be a play that stays in your mind for the next few days. The intriguing part of this play was, for once, everyone didn't just wake up, bleary-eyed to give the cast a meaningless clap. When I looked around, I saw people I would have pegged for being gone before the lights had dimmed, actually paying attention, an...

Play Rosencrantz Guildenstern

End Of The Play
589 wordsFirst of all, I liked the way that The Glass Menagerie was not specifically dated. What I mean by this, is even though the play was written in the forties, today we (people in general), can still relate to some of the issues in it. Like take for example the disability issue. Laura was so self conscious of her disability, but in reality, people did not really even notice. This is how society in general treats people with disabilities today - the same as everyone else. I also liked the development...

End Of The Play
1,619 wordsI agree that Arthur Miller engaged the audience to a large extent, and he also manages to get across a historical story at the same time and prove a point. I believe that through extensive character detail he has made it possible for us to understand exactly how the different characters are feeling, and why they behave the way they do. Miller also plays on our emotions by amplifying our own faults through the characters, as in the case of Abigail using the whole situation to her advantage, and b...

Society views people who live in the lap of luxury as " gods', they are above those who are not so fortunate. Anyone can fall prey to this common societal problem, even innocent 'Little Mrs. Sommers'. This i...

818 wordsProspero's Plottings After years of writing plays of history, tragedy, grand comedy and dramatic romance, William Shakespeare emerged from his darker writing of the past into the lighter, more peaceful style of his play "The Tempest".

While Prospero's early actions against his foes echo the id...

Usage In Shakespeare's Play
1,067 wordsSince plays first began, writers sought a way of formulating sequences of events into an order which brings about meaning to the reader. Over time, many writers have come and gone, some more influential than others, but a set of rules or standards that probably stick out into the minds of all English majors are the Poetics of Aristotle. They served as guidelines in our history to manufacture the "ideal narrative" in which everyone could follow, similar to what we now refer to in the present day ...

Conflict In All's Well That Ends Well

The comedies are known for their happy conclusions, reconciliation of the characters, a justification of events, and life at the end. On the other hand, the tragedies are known for their miserable conclusions, destruction of the characters, a question of why this had to happen, and death at the end. Comedies make us laugh, triumph in the huma...

Scene For The Play Being A Tragedy
2,015 wordsA View from the Bridge How is it evident from the beginning of the play that it will end in tragedy?

Ending Of The Play
953 wordsThe play titled All My Sons written by Arthur Miller seemed to be an ordinary story but in actuality held a deep hidden meaning. I feel that it was not rally on the surface, but once you analyze it more closely, it could be easily found. The author wrote the play in a sense that seemed to relate more to the working class, perhaps do to his own life. This made it equally more compelling to myself since my family to worked hard to support us when we were younger. I feel that researching the hidden...
