The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known. The article also states that Wilbur’s approach to translation is informative and he often gives importance to “rhyming solutions”. I find it interesting that he argues that creating natural verse is a matter of patience, and creating rhymes that sound new. The article stated that at one point Wilbur had a fear of unintentionally overlapping verses, this shows the possibility of verses may have been more limited than it is
A comparative study of Al Pacino’s ‘Looking for Richard’ and Shakespeare’s ‘The tragedy of King Richard the 3rd’ reveals to the audience the relevance and freedom of interpretation surrounding such profound pieces of literature such as Shakespeare’s plays. The vast majority of the modern audience feels distant to Shakespeare, many with a tainted outlook on his works due to a lack of understanding and unfortunate experiences studying his work. ‘Looking for Richard’, through the use of many cinema techniques conveys transcendence ideas on Richard’s role in modern society whilst supporting the idea that Shakespeare’s literature is timeless and germane. Looking for Richard reconnects us to the world of Shakespeare presenting the ideas and values of ‘King Richard 3rd’ to this post-modern era. ‘The Tragedy of King Richard the 3rd’ was a revolutionary play of its time due to its appeal of all classes ranging from the noblest Queen to the street pheasant.
Conclusion a) Prominent writer b) A genius c) No history d) Relevance of his works Shakespeare William Shakespeare is a renown writer who is remembered for his great oratory and writing genius (Ngulu 12). Indeed, his works has been shrouded in mystery as many people wonder whether he wrote all the lays and drama, or whether several authors were responsible for the write-ups. This controversy has led to many theories about the authorship of all the works attributed to Shakespeare. Many people argue that if indeed Shakespeare were the one who wrote all the works that bear his name, he would have written
The actors speak Shakespeare’s dialogue eloquently and beautifully which I can personally deem as poetry in motion. Having Macbeth interpreted this way; I believe that it makes it much more relatable and easier to understand. Often times, people have trouble when it comes to Shakespeare’s choice of words and how he lays out the discourse of his plays. In this film, that dilemma seems to be thrown out the window and the words paired with the actions, actors, and setting in the film, make it effortless to follow along. The acting is spot-on in this film.
Both Shakespeare and Carol Ann Duffy have structural differences in their texts to show the emotional change in the characters of Othello and Miss Havisham. In Othello Shakespeare shifts from blank verse to prose to show his breakdown in emotion. In Act 1 Scene 3 Othello speaks in unrhymed iambic pentameter which shows that it is written in blank verse however in Act 4 Scene 1 Othello starts to speak in prose and from the context of his speech we could infer that he is angry. This change in from verse to prose suggests that he cannot control his emotions very well and it is easy to see what he is feeling. Shakespeare tends to write in blank verse when the character is calm and then switches to prose when there is a spin of emotion.
In act IV scene VII lines 123-164 of Hamlet there is a very long exchange of words of revenge towards Hamlet between Claudius and Laertes, but in the David Tennant version much of the unimportant speech is cut out and only the most important of the conversation is left. This appeals to a modern audience, because this particular scene is very long with many allusions and metaphors to seeking revenge on Hamlet, but in this version most of these are cut out and the point is made very quickly instead. The director, Gregory Doran, also chose to add parts and dialog to certain scenes, this passage is no different as the characters are talking about how the plan to take revenge the director adds the word rapier in to the dialog to let the modern audience know that they are talking about a sword, and later changes the word unbated to “unblunted” to describe to a modern audience who may not know the meaning of
Reality of Good vs. Evil in Shakespeare’s The Tempest William Shakespeare is known for including numerous types of themes and implausible ideas within his trendy and well liked poetry and plays. Often, Shakespeare composes his works in a fashion which presents easy to understand words and phrases, as in his most popular tragedy, Hamlet. In addition, many of Shakespeare’s plays and poems are descriptive of love and affection. However, not all of Shakespeare's works are romantic comedies or heartfelt sonnets.
Similarities between Edward de vere and characters like Hamlet is also very good proof to argue the authorship debate with. The way hamlets life is made out to be, and how it is so similar to de Vere suggest that Edwards life was put in a play, and called Hamlet, because they had so many similarities between the two. Another similarity with Edward de Vere and his life is Notably Polonius, this is a line from “young men falling out at tennis.” Oxfordians argue that this is also connect to
Their discussion may be TOO GENERAL. They may even misunderstand some aspects of the literary work(s). These essays are adequately written but may demonstrate inconsistent control over the elements of effective writing. Organization is evident, but it may not be fully realized or particularly coherent. C- (2-3): These essays address the main ideas involved in the question/topic, but they do so inaccurately or without the support of APPROPRIATE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE.
Due to the fact that a lot of instruments in the Baroque had this problem of not being able to sustain sound as well as others, the majority of the ornamentation in music for them, was written. If they are unable to sustain a specific sound that the composer is looking for, it makes much more sense to have something written there for them to follow to make sure he or she is still getting what they want from the piece. Earlier on, before the Baroque, instruments were used only to accompany readings of poems or scared chanting through improvisation. As the time went on, the instruments started accompanying polyphonic music, improvising underneath the vocal lines. 27 Instruments, mainly stringed instruments and keyboards could not sustain notes as long as
