Miller does this to create suspense in the audience’s mind and informs us of the tragedy. We know this because in the opening chorus, Alfieri says “watch it run its bloody course” Miller uses these particular words to create more anxiety on how it is a tragedy. By using the word “bloody” Miller creates the suspense of someone’s death or murder and fits in with the notion of a tragic hero. The first act shows us the type of man Eddie is; Miller presents us with the image of a respected man, hard working and loves his family “he worked on the piers when there was work, he brought home his pay, and he lived.”. Miller uses Alfieri to
In the first line of his speech, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears” (Line 1), he is building a connection with the crowd, letting them know that he is one of them, their friend, and that they are all part of the great country of Rome. His speech is aimed at the hearts and minds of the audience, trying to turn their hatred of this now dead leader upon his murderers, Brutus and the other conspirators. As he goes further into his speech he uses repetition, another form of pathos, to persuade the audience against Brutus, saying this such as, “But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man” (Lines 1415), and, “I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?” He is destroying the credibility of Brutus in the minds of the people, thus making all that was said in Brutus’ speech seem untrue, or
In Act One of Inspector calls’ how J.B. Priestly uses dramatic devices to convey his concerns and ideas to the members of the audience, as well as interest and involve them in his play? In Inspector calls JB Priestley teaches the audience the consequences of being a capitalist, he shows through the Inspector, the Inspector interrupts when Mr Birling is giving his capitalists views; he comes to question him and his family about their actions and tell them the disaster that had happened. Mr birling is a very strong and high headed man, he believes ‘that a man has to make his own ways’ but the Inspector proves him wrong. Priestley’s main concerns were people were too busy only caring about themselves, little community sprit (not looking after each other’s needs), lack of responsibilities and they weren’t ready to take the consequences and this all related to capitalism. The dates 1912 and 1945 are important because in 1912 the play was set but it was performed in 1945, this means that the play was based in the 1912 and it was performed in 1945 to show the audience how the people were and how capitalist they were which caused war.
The devices work together to convince the crowd that Caesar being the better and more legitimate ruler, has previously connected with the Romans in a proffessional ethical way as well as connecting with them an emotional way. Antony's use of red herring actually lights the light bulb for the crowd of Rome. The fact that he draws attention to the central issue of Brutus killing caesar and his death affecting Rome, brings the crowd
The central character, Lewis, blossoms the most dramatically. Initally, _______(quote and explain)__________________ It is in these opening scenes that Nowra ensures the audience focuses on the “silliness” of attempting to perform an opera, in Italian, like Cosi Fan Tutte as Roy approaches “looking at Lewis as if he’s mad” and then pompously sprouts “What planet are you from?” Combined these show Lewis’ attitude at this stage of the play, However, Nowra engineers a change in Lewis’ character as he comes to respect the patients and finds Julie attractive. Lewis and therefore the audience come to see that loyalty and love are paramount. This is best illustrated when Lewis confronts Lucy about her affair with Nick ( quote his question, note the stage directions and explain) These show Lewis’ absolute change as Lucy responses (
He is old and a “racial and cultural outsider”. His true nature makes him an easy target for Iago, his cast - aside, constantly jealous ensign, and his hatred. We will explore exactly what aspects and circumstances drove him to insanity in text and film and led to the demise of his relationship with Desdemona. An important scene to notice is that of Act 1, Scene 3. Othello, addressing the Duke and council members about Desdemona traveling with him, states “Vouch with me heaven; I therefore beg it not to please the palate of my appetite…In my defunct and proper satisfaction.” (Line 261-264).
The soliloquy by Hamlet favors more the expression of pathos. The reason for this is because he says everything from his heart because he is seriously considering suicide. He impacts the reader by making them feel bad for him and the situation in which he is in. In the soliloquy pathos is used in a way to make the reader feel a sense of sadness because Hamlet makes it seem as though there is no point to life. He says “For who would bear the whips and scorns of time” which means who would deal with lives problems.
At the beginning of the play, Othello’s language displays a lot of confidence. His speech is also full and rounded, yet of moving simplicity. Othello’s confidence is shown when we are first introduced to him in the play and Brabanzio (The Senate) and his kinsmen approach Othello and reprimands him for eloping with Desdemona. Brabanzio calls Othello a thief and has weapons in his hand, ready to cause harm to the General, Othello. Othello responds to this very calmly and confidently by asking Brabanzio and his men to lower their weapons so that they can talk.
By telling the tragic story of Medea, Euripides is giving his audience a reflection on the current events and politics of Athens in the 4th century B.C. There are two messages being sent to viewers, the first which tells a familiar tragedy, and the second which refers historically to events going on at the time of the play. For Euripides, the current events that he was writing about were the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars. Through entertainment, he presents his position on democracy and internal security in a way that the audience can understand. In the same way, Jon Stewart entertains his audience with humor, sarcasm and poking fun at politicians to send a message across about politics today.
Alfieri knows the lawyers in Red Hook are seen as unlucky and not generally trusted but now they nod to him which means he is now trusted. Alfieri says, “I am inclined to notice the ruins in things” this is how he views Eddie, who is ruined by his own actions. Alfieri is a reliable narrator because he is a lawyer. Alfieri plays the part as a Greek Chorus this means a single person or a group of people who would be watching the play and then commenting on pasts of the play. It comes from Greece.
