1.3: As Antonio approaches, Shylock delivers an aside explaining why he hates him. First, he says it's because Antonio is a Christian, but he goes on to explain that Antonio hurts him in his business by lending money free of interest.

He doesn't have all the money to lend right now, but he can borrow it from his Jewish friend Tubal.
A main feature of a Shakespearean comedy play is the inclusion of a light, humorous tone. This is not completely true of the play Measure for Measure. For the majority of the play, the tone is cynical and deliberately disturbing which persuades the reader that the play is in fact more of a problem play than it is a comedy. Similarly, complicated and contentious issues are debated in Measure for Measure. A trademark occurrence of a comedy play is that usually justice is done in the end; however in Measure for Measure it can be argued that this is not the case.
It just made the play seem unrealistic, so that along with the gay scene and the gay prostitution made it the worst play I’ve ever seen. There was a lot of nonverbal communication also in this place, the fact that Simay never truly finds out that adnan truly loves her and the way he treats her when she is paying attention and when she isn’t you felt a connection with him. He seemed to care a lot for her but didn’t show it because of childhood issues he faced. He hardly said much when it came to her for his symbolism for buying her food showed the audience that he cared. There were scenes when she told him how she felt and how much she cared about him, he had to turn
A Raisin in the Sun 1. Describe the main conflict of the play from the standpoint of Walter and then from Mama's standpoint. How are their concerns different? From Walter's standpoint, the conflict throughout most of the play is how to get money from Mama for the liquor store investment. When he is successful but loses the money, the question is whether he will sell his principles for money that might allow him to make another investment in a business.
Place Setting In true Shakespeare technique, the play contrasts an urban Italian setting with a rural one. Though it may not be as obvious as other plays that he wrote; the play shares the theme of state versus conurbation division (Murray 6). The play is set during the Italian renaissance period in Padua, Italy. Shakespeare presents Padua in the setting of a city and terms it a nursery of art (Shakespeare 1.1: 2). In the play, Padua is brought forth as a city of wealth and sophistication characterized by rich culture and learning.
This goes to show how he started off thinking about his business and only thought of the money, which is why Stern did not drink with Schindler at the beginning of the movie, to actually caring and thinking of the Jews, which is why Stern does drink with Schindler near the end of the movie where they both said good-bye. Self-interest was indeed Schindler's early motive for helping the Jews, at a later point he crossed the line and began assisting the Jews, not with himself in mind, but with the Jews in mind. Empathy, it is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another and Schindler was very much capable of it. His accidental viewing of the Aktion in the Krakow ghetto had a strong impact on him. He had the ability to feel the pain
You can tell that nobody takes them seriously, especially when Leonato shows no sign of gratefulness that he has captured two men by simply saying “go drink some wine” (Shakespeare 46) As we look into the theories of comedy for the play, it is clear that an option is Freud’s theory. He believes that the essence of comedy and laughter come at the extent of others. Comedy is often a disguised form of anger or aggression. We find ourselves, as well as some of the characters in the play, laughing at the fact that some of the characters are being manipulated into believing one thing from another. Much Ado About Nothing was a difficult play for me to understand at first, but after watching the play and going back and reading it again it definitely helped my understanding of the sarcasm happening by the characters.
His reserve had been always excessive and habitual.” This allows the the reader to understand that even his “so-called” friend was not open and trustworthy with him. Confinement and isolation has consumed the Usher ancestry line for centuries. Roderick belongs to an ancient family who has never put forth “an enduring branch” (Poe). This explains why Usher and Madeline are self consumed, rather than cordial and sociable. Roderick’s lack of communication with the outside world forces him to lose all sanity and become mad.
Shakespeare shows this through both Iago and Don John’s instability, by having both of them throw everything out on a limb just to boost their reputation. Iago for example seems to have a large insecurity that forces him into doing evil. Most people are stable and don’t care about their reputation enough to murder, but the ones that do act out usually are people that have been treated badly by society. “How tartly that gentleman looks! I never can see him but I am heart-burned an hour after.” (M, I, ii, 56-58) Don John is far from accepted, hence his inability to feel compassion and forcing him to seek stability.
