First Actor To Theater
1,489 wordsAncient Greek Theater and Drama By: Jennifer Mills E-mail: Ancient Greek Theater and Drama Jennifer Mills Theater has been an integral part of almost every society for thousands of years. Starting in the last Sixth century B.C. Theater has been evolving into the glitzy, whirlwind productions of today. But in the beginning, theater was a simple affair. Originating in Greece, theater tradition was derived from religious rituals. The ceremonies of the cult of Dionysus were exuberant; much story tel...

Portias Character
1,056 wordsPortia: The Best Female Shakespearean Part Portia is one of Shakespeares best parts for an actress as, apart from being one of the central characters within the main plot of the play; she displays great wit and intelligence. These are assets which none of Shakespeares other female roles ever had as women who lived around the same time as Shakespeare, were not considered to have such honourable traits. Portia has many lengthy speeches, and in almost all of theses she displays her great intelligen...

Acting In The Play
3,150 wordsI chose Arthur Miller's The Crucible because of the plot's dark history and suspense. Also because of the play's reflection of McCarthyism. The so called "witch-hunts" for communist brought on by Senator Joseph. The play is set in Salem, Massachusetts, 1692, where suspicions of witchcraft were floating around the town air. Act 1 starts out in early spring and ends in Act 4 when it is late fall. The play opens with Betty Parris sick in bed, and Reverend Parris tending to her, and wondering what m...

George And Charlotte's Home Theater
834 words"Moon Over Buffalo" Although not the talk of the university, "Moon Over Buffalo" was definitely the talk of those who saw it. From one comedic act to another. Whether it was Paul trying to get George's pants on or just random lines such as "HOLY SHIT!! !" , when George realizes he did not quite "dress for the part". It gave all the students at Stephen F. Austin something to do and whether we were forced to or went on our own free will, everyone was satisfied. Buffalo, New York, carries the reput...

Falstaff As Hal
958 wordsFalstaff's Role in Henry IV, Part One Henry IV, Part One, has always been one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, maybe because of Falstaff. Much of the early criticism I found concentrated on Falstaff and so will I. This may begin in the eighteenth century with Samuel Johnson. For Johnson, the Prince is a "young man of great abilities and violent passions", and Hotspur is a "rugged soldier", but "Falstaff, un imitated, un imitable Falstaff, how shall I describe thee Thou compound of sen...

Act 1 Scene 2 Antipholus Of Syracuse
1,721 wordsINTRODUCTION The Shakespeare play that I did was The Comedy of Errors. The Comedy of Errors was one of Shakespeare earliest works. The play was first performed at Grays Inn on December 28, 1594. The Comedy was very popular. In 1938, a musical adaptation of the play was known as The Boys from Syracuse. Of course the author of this play is William Shakespeare. The theme in this play is a romance along with comedic performances also in it. Synopsis Many years ago Egeon a merchant of Syracuse was in...

Irena And Sir Peter
772 wordsLook closely at one scene exploring its dramatic impact and its relevance to the play as a whole Act 1 scene 7 appears to be so far the only scene where all three institutions are seen together; although all three of them are not seen communicating directly, they are all linked either by music (Mozart playing in background, same as the opera) or by the fact that they all share the stage. However, even with this closeness and opportunity to have had the three different groups communicate there is...

Petruchio And Katherina Kiss In The Play
2,224 wordsThe Taming Of The Shrew: Analysis Of The Relationship Between Katherina & Petruchio The Taming of the Shrew is known as the story that a husband trains his shrewish wife. Shakespeare illustrates what a husband and wife should be; he describes that a husband should dominate over his wife and a wife should obey to her husband. It seems like that this is the story about sexism. In the book called "Broken Nuptials in Shakespeares Plays" by Carol Thomas Neely, Shakespeares "created male and female ch...

Coriolanus Love Of His Mother
1,944 wordsA tragedy typically deals with the downfall of an important character, in a serious play, via a fatal flaw. The audience would feel upset for the character as his weakness is not his fault and his in his nature. A tragedy has an unhappy ending or ongoing poignant events and during Act 5 sc 3 and Act 3 sc 3 in Shakespeare's Coriolanus many of these take place. Coriolanus' weakness is his honesty. As we see later others know how to manipulate this which in turn brings him to his demise. Although h...

Shylock's Bond
1,707 wordsShow how the plot of 'The Merchant of Venice' is apparently fanciful but in reality exactingly structured". The Merchant of Venice is a fairy tale. There is no more reality in Shylock's bond and the Lord of Belmont's will than in Jack and the Beanstalk". H. Granville-Barker, in Prefaces to Shakespeare. This is one way of looking at the play, reading it or enjoying the performance. But it can be a contradiction to our actual feelings about this complex play. 'The Merchant of Venice' might appear ...

Angelo And Isabella
2,221 wordsAct II, Scene 1 To no avail, Escalus pleads with an adamant Angelo to have pity on the life of Claudio. Angelo does not really consider Claudio's crime to be something major, but he is intent on carrying out the 'measure of the law' and to be strict with all offenders who break the law. As a result, he orders Claudio to be executed the next morning. Escalus is grieved over Claudio's fate, but is helpless to stop the execution. Elbow, a constable, enters with Froth and Pompey in custody, both gui...

Non Consenting Sm Play
1,568 wordsConsent and its Place in SM Sex At first the sting of the whip, and the reddening of her ass felt wonderful, but Carrie knew that the pain would soon become unbearable, despite her stating "refrigerator", her "safe" word... Carrie's example shows us how important consent is in SM, or rather sado- masochism sex play. The most obvious reason consent is important in SM play is the risk of injury and the potential for unwanted danger is avoided. In addition, with understood consent, trust is develop...

Ancient Greek Theater Inside The Permanent Scene
1,743 wordsThe actors and the chorus - Costumes and scenic appearance The actors At first in dithyrambous, there were no actors. Thespis was the poet who imported the first hypocrite, Aeschylus the second and Sophocles the third one. Besides these actors, who were playing the leading parts, there were also some other persons on the orchestra (stage), playing "dumb" roles (the "followers"). At the beginning the actors were being chosen by the poets. In the 5th century they were being chosen by the State. Th...

Role Of Convict And Officer
1,275 wordsThe Art is in the History: A review of Our Country's Good Aboriginal Australians look at their lives as the re-enactment of the journeys and quests taken by ancestor heroes in the Tjukurapa, the Dreamtime, the time before which the earth did not exist. And yet it took less than 75 years of colonization to wipe out most of the people who had occupied the Australian continent for over 40,000 years. The hardships faced by their ancestors could not have prepared them for the boatloads of disease and...

Difference In The Possibilities Of Success
513 wordsThat there are many difficulties in the way of presenting Shakespeare is a fact, I think, that no one will deny. Not that Shakespeare on the stage does not interest the public, but rather that those who know and love the works of the great bard so seldom see his immortal dramas presented in accordance with their own ideals. They are often disappointed because the stage characters do not altogether represent the ones they have pictured as the result of their own study or the perusal of the writin...

Darcy's Introduction Of Bridget To Natasha
1,323 wordsBridget Jones' Diary Bridget Jones Diary is a film produced by Helen Fielding that is based on the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The film like the novel portrays many different messages, emotions and brings upon the change and growth of characters through self-realisation and strength. Both Bridget Jones and Elizabeth Bennett relate to the same experiences although in different time frames many of their life experiences and family relations. In the opening of Bridget Jones Diary we s...

Unfold Between Angelo And Isabella
650 wordsAs this scene opens, we are shown Angelo speaking alone in a room in his house. Shakespeare's intention behind this setting was probably to offer us some vital insight into the current state of mind of Angelo, allowing us to analyse his thought process throughout the remainder of this vital scene. As a result, it is important that this scene is staged with the intention of revealing various elements of his character to the audience. This could be achieved by having him sat at a desk, under a spo...
