Some of them were hard to point out but some were easy. Here are some of the dramatic ironies that happened in Romeo and Juliet. In the prologue of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet on pg 787 it begins ‘’two households, both alike in dignity…’’ that was an example of dramatic irony because at first you say that both the families are close and they get along well with each other. But as you read you find out that actually the two families are rivals. Another example of dramatic irony in the play is in scene 2 of act iv Juliet agrees to marry Paris but she had a plan.
I loved Poor Little Eva, King Simon, Little Topsy, and Geoooo-rge!. Though it has been said “it wasn’t until they filmed it until they caught the delicacy, humor, and poignancy all at once” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg 47) this paper will discuss the history of The King and I on Broadway. The King and I is one of the most well loved musicals of all time. With musical geniuses Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II writing the score, Jerome Robbins brilliantly choreographing “Small House of Uncle Thomas” and “Shall We Dance?” as well as many other dance sequences. Jo Mielziener was the set and lighting designer, Frederick Dvonch was the musical director, and Irene Sharaff was the costume designer.
It is a collection of 3 stories each with a dark twist and an intro and an outro. The script is based around storytelling with narrators in each story as well as characters. We chose Kneehigh as our Practitioner as we could use Kneehighs use of audience interaction in our play. For example, in the intro, an idea was that we could all be dotted around different areas of the room when saying our lines and delivering them to a particular member of the audience. Our group work together well to produce a coherent style and are not afraid to experiment, take chances and eventually change or reject ideas which is an important factor in performing Kneehigh Theatre.
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson Text|Response| Because so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded, Mr. Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations. The original paraphernalia for the lottery had been lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born. Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box. ...; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play.|Both of these text from the short story, give me an idea of how long this Lottery event has been taking place in this town. They both show me that this has been a tradition with rituals by the old Black Box as well as describing Old Man Warner as “the oldest man in town”.
This is represented when the narrator says “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away…” (704). If he would not have done this, Emily would have most likely had someone to care for her and her to care for. Instead, he died and left her alone to try to fend for herself without any experience of independence. Even after her father passed away, that “crayon portrait” still had a large role in her life, and the effects of his neglect were still being felt. His neglect is still being felt because he has her living in the past.
Persin, Avi English-11H 10/25/2009 Foils of Hamlet In William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, Shakespeare puts the antagonist in situations similar to the main character or protagonist. Play writers and authors do this in order to compare and contrast differences between the characters. This type of literary analysis is known as a foil. In this specific play, Hamlet, the main character, is foiled by many other characters in the play. The major foil to Hamlet is Ophelia.
This shows how naive she is about men, and when she gets married she is treated in the same way as the men she treated. Her husband ‘clicked his fingers, called [my] her bluff’. This is similar to the way in ‘Horse Whisperer’ that the whisperer’s life is turned around so quickly, because the woman in ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’ becomes ‘(yes, overnight) a plaything’ showing how fast this transformation happened. The differences between the two plays are quite subtle, with only a few differences. Whereas ‘Horse Whisperer’ is thirty-four lines long, ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’ is only fifteen long, prompting the thought that maybe the writer of ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’, Dorothy Molloy, was writing a short poem to show how the life of a woman who thinks big of herself has changed greatly over such a short space of time.
In the beginning of the film, the family seems to have the ability to function in an ordinary middle-class society. Towards the climax, one notices that the family can not function because the mother is blind and still morning over her husbands death which allows her the excuse of not being a parental figure to her children. Augusto decides the he has to take on the noble responsibility of a care giver instead of simply running off and fulfilling his dreams. He is the character that is most relatable because most of modern society has a family member who takes charge in the event of a death. Alessandro feels for his eldest brother and decides to solve all his problems by planning a collective suicide of all the family members including himself.
Rameau contributed to a variety of dramatic forms, continuing, in some, the tradition of Lully. These included tragedies lyriques, comedies lyrics and comedies-ballets. His first success in 1733 was Happily et Archie, but as time went on fashions changed and the stage works he wrote after Les Paladins in 1760 remained unperformed. Orchestral suites derived from some of Rameau’s stage works at least make a certain amount of this music readily available. Sixty of Rameau’s 65 harpsichord pieces were written by 1728, with a final group appearing in 1741.
But unfortunately, due to the erroneous decisions he had and by letting other people like Zeena, Hales, Mattie, the society, the climate or poverty make decisions for him, he ended up in an ironic life and lives with the consequences for the rest of his life. This teaches us that we should be able to vindicate our own decision without being dictated by others and be prepared for its consequences either it’s all good or all bad. Ethan’s home was defines as "one of those lonely New England farmhouses that make the landscape lonelier." (Wharton E. 10) Ethan gave up his studies so he can take care of his parents who are debilitating with illness and must settle for farming. Ethan "seemed a part of the mute melancholy landscape, an incarnation of its frozen woe, with all that was warm and sentient in him
