‘To every article’ he replies when asked how well he carried out the task, to which Prospero replied ‘ My brave spirit!’ this shows that Prospero does value and praises Ariel a lot. We have already been shown the two ways that Prospero can act towards one of the character. On one hand he is very caring and supportive of Ariel but then uses him for his magical powers and doesn’t want to give him his well-earned freedom. Another character in the play that Prospero acts two different ways to is
Hercules left with nothing other than the clothes on his back and the sword in his hand. When Hercules reached the city of Corinth the wonderful people and the fascinating architecture amazed him. After explaining his goal to the people of Corinth, Hercules was showered with offerings. The people offered Hercules food, wine, and even offered daughters in marriage. People warned Hercules of the powerful gorgon that transformed people into golden roses.
After Chris Gardner was evicted from his home, his mind evolved on the world around him. The thing that saved him and his son, was Chris’s intelligence with numbers and people. His mind set him to a higher goal in life; happiness. Many things we succeed in require our minds to be used properly. As said by our third president, Thomas Jefferson, “Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
J.K. Rowling has shown society today that even though you are an outcast you can become something great. The saying that love conquers all is very much present in the Harry Potter series. Two of the main characters, Ron and Hermione, are a power couple a good proportion of the series. Right before going into the final battle with the Dark Lords in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows it is described to the readers “running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione
The sense I got was that this is community directed theatre – people experimenting together, with various levels of rehearsal but consistently high levels of slap-stick humor. For example, the deeply-in-love stage duo of Esme Rodriguez and Hank the Heat included a disgusting yet hysterical set of false deformed teeth. The tactics that were used to achieve their goal of making us laugh included a raunchy scene where Esme licks Hank’s face while singing a cheesy 80s rock balled. I observed many performance elements at play. For example the characters primarily used inductive tactics, charming and seducing not only their performance partners but the audience as well.
In act2 sc.3, Sir Toby tells Olivia's steward, Malvolio, rather sarcastically, 'Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no cakes and ale?' This reference to 'cakes and ale' also relates the play to the festive occasion of Twelfth Night. Olivia's 'allowed fool', Feste, bears a name that relates to the spirit of festivity & he proves himself to be one of the major sources of fun and mirth in the play. All the four songs are sung by him at different
He also alludes to the “solemn curfew” the time at which such supernatural creatures come out to make mischief. In the beginning of the passage Prospero calls upon elves, fairies and elements of the magical world to observe his actions. Throughout the play they have been an essential part of his magical knowledge and ability, many times they have come to aid him in his endeavors. He reflects on all of the things he was able to accomplish only with their help. He emphasizes that these creatures can be found almost anywhere but are not of this world.
The young adventurous man, created his own persona. From going ill prepared to denying any help from others, he had the mentally that he knew what he was doing. “According to the moral absolutism that characterizes McCandless’s beliefs, a challenge in which a successful outcome is assured isn’t a challenge at all” (p 182). Even since McCandless was younger, he was always extremely fortunate at everything he tried; he was always successful in new things. This caused a sense of over confidence in Chris.
This production shows how one person can attempt to fool while the foolees fool the fooler. Falstaff, played by senior, Jeremy Wray, is a fat knave who attempts to seduce the two wealthy mistresses of Windsor. The mistresses, played by Chloe Forrester and Marissa Ramirez, learn of Falstaff’s plan, and take action by leading him on. The wonderful cast and crew clearly showed not only their love of the play, but the deep emotional connections between the characters and themselves. The setting and music of this performance was impeccable.
He is omniscient, he sees everything and understands Eddie as a person and a friend rather than just a client. This makes him especially suited to the role of ‘chorus’, which traditionally gave the audience a moral point of view and draw attention to the theme of fate. A chorus never leaves the stage, and neither does Alfieri. His office is always on stage, however, the lights are made dim and in the back of the audience’s mind, they are made aware that Alfieri is always there, almost as an onlooker. His presence on the stage makes the audience feel that he is closest to what happens and therefore the most knowledgeable about the drama.
