“Now let’s cut the re-bop!” (pg. 40). As the play progresses Stanley becomes increasingly rude to Blanche until he learns of her past from a supply man in Laurel. He uses this information to destroy Blanche’s relationship with Harold “Mitch” Mitchell. The destruction of their relationship is significant because Mitch’s potential marriage proposal to Blanche was her key to living a normal life and finding a man that will love her
He speaks of how only the deaths of two star crossed lovers will break the violence, although it is said in a way that will not be noticed by those viewing the play for the first time. Plays in Shakespeare’s time were viewed many times, as it was the only available source of entertainment. Romeo and Juliet, sometimes referred to as the most tragic love story of all, is a story of young love between two people in families engaged in a deadly feud. The families fight in public at the start of the play, resulting in a death penalty from prince Escales if the peace of Verona is disturbed again. Meanwhile, Romeo, the son of Lord Montague, gatecrashes a masquerade ball hosted by Lord Capulet in honour for a potential marriage between his daughter Juliet and a wealthy man named ‘Paris’.
Williams uses the stage directions to illustrate that Blanche is not of a normal mind-set as she seems to be nervous, using directions such as, ‘A cat screeches. She catches her breath with a startled gesture.’ When Blanche rudely dismisses Eunice, she is left alone to show her true self; this is done so that we see her as an individual character without the influence of other characters or the boundaries of her social morals. Williams presents Blanche’s drinking problem through her actions during her isolated period on stage, and also during her conversation with Stella: “…talk while I
Throughout William Shakespeare’s play, King Lear’s daughters, Goneril and Regan, show no mercy to their former king and father. Goneril’s lack of compassion is seen by many, even those of importance to her, such as her husband, Albany. “Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile: / Filths savor but themselves. What have you done? / Tigers, not daughters, what have you performed?” (IV ii 42-44) Albany proclaims to his wife after being informed of how she has mistreated her father and pushed him to insanity.
Furthermore, Ántonia gives added demonstrations to the destruction of sexuality with her illegitimate pregnancy. This produces a more haggard Ántonia than any work in the fields ever could. Everywhere he looks, Jim’s aversion to sex is strengthened with examples of its power to corrupt. Ántonia’s father is destroyed and burned into Jim’s memory as a direct result of giving in to a sexual act,
For most of the novel, Amir attempts to deal with his guilt by avoiding it. However, doing this clearly does nothing toward redeeming himself, and thus his guilt lasts. He watches Hassan get raped by Assef and says and does nothing to stop it. Then to make matters worse he is cruel toward Hassan. He beats him, he throws pomegranates at him, he is no longer willing to be his friend even though that is the only thing in the world Hassan wants and needs after his horrific experience.
The man in Ophelia’s life seem to control her, this is her human failing and not having a ‘back bone’ eventually leads to her death. Her father, Polonius, puts her into a situation of crisis with Hamlet in Act 3 Scene I; at this point in the play Polonius uses her as his puppet so that he can spy on Hamlets actions while he is alone with Ophelia. Polonius has no interest in Ophelia’s wants or needs. He feels by exploiting his daughter
The betrayal of Polynieces causes his sister, Antigone, to start another long line of betrayal throughout the rest of the play. Antigone begins planning her betrayal against Creon and her justice against her brother when she goes to her sister, Ismene, for help. “You must decide whether you will help me or not.” (Line 30, Pg 774). Ismene is a coward and claims she cannot help Antigone, “But I have no strength to break laws that were made for the public good.” (Line 66, Pg 774). The fact that Antigone is now alone is this process does not slow her down at all; not even after Ismene warns her that the consequence of her actions could be death.
I mean, my head in your lap" (112, 115) thereby, lowering her status in the eyes of the court. However, Ophelia's sanity does not deteriorate until Hamlet kills her father in Gertrude's bedchamber. No wonder that Ophelia, with no family, no support, and no position, becomes mad. She is nothing to the Elizabethan world. Who could not pity her for she is a pawn of her father, a pawn in Hamlet's game, and in
