This statement could explain why there are so many new adaptations of Shakespeares plays, and why they change so much from the original Roman Polanskis version (171) of the play doesnt change too much as it is for a cinema audience, and the people viewing it would have payed and would have been expecting a more conventional, unchanged Macbeth because they made a deliberate choice to view it. On the other hand people watching Macbeth on the Estate may not have wanted, or intended to see a Shakespeare film and may not normally opt to watch Shakespeare. Both versions are made with this in mind, and adapt the play accordingly. The Polanski version opens with a long establishing shot, giving the viewer an idea of the settings. It is set on a beach, which is deserted and lifeless.

I think they distorted the story because they added punishment to the bad characters. I believe they thought they were improving them and maybe adding some moral tones to the story. After reading the stories I found a lot of violence then other versions I have read or watched. I believe the telling of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Beauty and the best by Disney is an improvement from Grimms. Disney added more of a magical feel to the story and took out of some the violence.
Once it becomes easier to manipulate the person freely, the government in the case of Fahrenheit 451 is capable to engineering a whole society as they please. The second result that censorship of society and the banning of books brings is increasing the pleasure and happiness which objects bring, rather than the emotional connection between mankind. This in turn turns the happiness to be very shallow and short-lasting, increasing and stimulating the economy but severely hurting the human mind. Our last result that will be discussed in this essay is the way censorship changes the whole society. The immense diversity of books that we each read as an individual make us unique in many different ways that we cannot
It is, however, often from redundancy that novelty (eventually) emerges. Our definition might become clearer still with a few examples of what is not play. The most immediately distinctive features of play are the freedom it expresses and the agreements and cooperation among playmates. Play stops when participants are not free to play or not, become objects of play, or are unaware that they are involved in play. War, violent crime, and practical jokes may be play for the perpetrators, but it certainly is not for the victims.
The point can be further validated because there are present examples of totalitarian behavior although the extremes are not present currently but as history continually repeats itself and governments slowly gain more power each day; the reader can make a connect to the potential problem that can arise. Orwell also gives a direct example of how the party will use total control of its citizens because of this is given mass power and importance but in a very negative way that supports the problem. Finally the author uses the “shock value” to persuade the reader that there is a problem by using extreme example to show the lack
Some could argue that Caesar could have been power hungry and attempted to take control of other authorities. However, this reform improved the distribution of power, ensuring only the talented and dedicated individuals would be in power and breaking the monopolies existed within the Senate. Elections would then be straightforward, legitimate, minimizing corruption. The widespread corruption was affecting the state so badly that It needed to be put to an
In terms this could flip the whole tone of the novel whether it was depressing due to the old man’s mind, or vulgar and hostile from the younger waiter’s point of view. If Ellison were to choose to Write B.R. in third person there would then be two different sides to the story instead of just one. The reader wouldn’t be able to decipher the truth between what’s being told correctly and what would end up being slightly twisted. The story would become less personal and not have as great of an effect on the
Our Town Review Our Town by Thorton Wilder focuses mainly on the major points in a person’s life and other things that humans are faced with. Life, love, marriage, death, and eternity are the major themes in Thorton’s play and things that are focused on through the characters’ actions and even through their words. The play is also performed with minimal props, allowing the characters more freedom to move and interact with the characters that are around them. Thorton also thought that the theatre of his time “had something wrong…he began to feel that the theatre was not only inadequate, it was evasive.” This shows in the way his play has no or minimal props throughout the play also puts the focus on the actors and the themes being presented throughout the play, instead of what the actors are doing with the objects that are put in front of them. A few of the major themes deal with everyday
In the opening scene of the play John (Chris Centinaro) use of incorporating an accent was clear to understand and was used to stay true the original play. Although slang was used from the 19th century many unfamiliar words were define in the performances program. The actors’ did seem physically comfortable this could be due to the amount of hours that I assume they had rehearsed. I feel effective physically work is when the actors were able to play off each tone and facial expressions. A good example being an interaction between Algernon and Cecily in second half of the performance.
