Benedick And Beatrice Play
776 wordsMuch Ado About Nothing exemplifies a kind of deliberately puzzling title that seems to have been popular in the late 1590's (compare, "As You Like Ito / oo ). Indeed, the play is about nothing; it merely follows the relationships of Claudio and Hero, and in the end, the play culminates in the two other main characters falling in love, which, because it was an event that was quite predictable, proves to be much ado about nothing.

Shred Of Goodness In John Proctor
2,374 wordsHow is 'The Crucible' appropriately titled? The word 'crucible' is used by Arthur Miller in his play as a metaphor. The first definition of the word crucible is: a melting pot especially for metals. In the play this is first acknowledged during the first act, as we gradually piece together the information concerning the girls dancing. The 'kettle' viewed by Reverend Parris mirrors a crucible.

Lord Mayor Like Clarence And Lady Anne
1,596 wordsLord Hastings: A Justification to Omit Regret We, the audience, lend our ears and nod our heads at the exactness of Lord Hastings's uttering: I think there's never a man in Christendom, Can lesser hide his love or hate than he, For by his face shall you know his heart.

By Act, Richard exhibits a pallet of personalities including the devoted brother, the witty ...
