Shakespeare's The Comedy Of Errors
Number of Words: 382 / Number of Pages: 2
... character. She was insecure and
portrayed the typical damsel in distress. She was completely dependent on her
husband and this fact alone made the play somewhat out of date. Shakespeare is
said to be "not of an age, but for all times," but Adriana's character, in my
opinion, would not fit in to the modern world. I feel the most important part
of the play is the message it conveys and should be used as a moral today. The
whole play is based on family members who are trying to reunite. The play says
that even though there are troubling issues in our lives, we must remember our
families, for ...

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Humor
Number of Words: 591 / Number of Pages: 3
... used something like inferred humor to get across some other
meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck.
Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude
toward his tasks is sort of a light and airy one. He does not take life
seriously, he only does what is fun. This type of character is totally
different than everyone else in the play; they are in a serious tone, while Puck
is just dancing around pulling pranks on everyone. One good example of a prank
that Puck created was putting an Ass' head on Bottom. It was unnecessary, just
fun. Wha ...

... involves the two lovers. While standing outside of Juliet’s window, without her knowing, Romeo overhears her. He overhears her say, “O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?/ Deny thy father and refuse thy name!/ Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,/ And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” Basically, what Juliet says that she wants to marry Romeo and will defy her father to do it. This is dramatic irony because she does not know that he is there, but the audience does. Her saying this makes him want to marry her too, and them getting married later leads up to their death.
Unlike in the previous scene ...

Movie Review: Into The West

... is something we all will deal with at some point, and probably several points, throughout our lives. Some may be “luckier” than others when it comes to the severity of such a loss, but the key to surviving it, is how we chose to deal with it. In losing his wife Mary, John Riley lost himself. He was obviously a great man in the time she was with him; “King of all Travellers”, the youngest one ever, seemingly high-spirited, respectable, and fearless as Grandfather points out. With the loss of his wife, and the rejection of settled society toward him and his people, he loses sight of his own honor, an ...

... down the talents of movie actors. Although Kathy pretends to be a real stage actress, her abilities become obvious to Don when she leaps out of a cake at the after-show party. An even bigger upset occurs when studio owner R.F. Simpson (Millard Mitchell) shows a new talking picture, which is dismissed as a passing fad (commenting that Warner Brothers will "lose their shirts with The Jazz Singer").
Progress is inexorable though and the studio is forced to halt its next production, "The Dueling Cavalier", when it becomes obvious that it'll have to be wired for sound. There is only one fundamental p ...

... the financial problem he needed $15 million to produce the bomber engine.
However, he did not have enough money, so he issued 4 million shares to raise

The Character Of Macbeth
Number of Words: 2164 / Number of Pages: 8
... a murderer and
then dies a shameful and violent death. Shakespeare creates an atmosphere of
evil and darkness mainly through his language, although scenes containing
violent actions or the witches are often played in darkness. Shakespeare uses
poetry (verse) as opposed to prose, as poetry often contains more metaphors and
imagery, which he used to create a feeling of darkness and evil. The language
gives an insight into the character of Macbeth - we see his ruthlessness and
cruelty, but also fear, doubt and some scruples.
Macbeth's first words, ‘So foul and fair a day I have not seen' (Act 1:3 L36) ...
