Another important aspect is the similarities between Tom and the play's author Tennessee Williams; both have the same forename, both had pushy, nostalgic mothers and socially inept sisters, and both proceeded to leave their family, and responsibilities, to follow a career in playwriting. In order to fully comprehend Tom, and his psychology, it is necessary to analyse his motivations, which, in the majority of The Glass Menagerie, are negatively incited. These frustrations and resentments are densely spread over different aspects of his life; most evidently in his work, home and love. One of the most prominent of Tom's frustrations is his discontentment with his job as a poorly-paid worker in a shoemaking warehouse. This is primarily because he sees no future in it, and sees it as a necessity rather than an opportunity, complaining to Amanda “you think I'm crazy about the warehouse?...You think I want to spend fifty-five years down there in that – celotex interior!
As surprising as this is for someone who was supposedly ‘love-sick’ over another girl, it is even more amusing because of how it had taken him a few seconds of seeing Juliet before he began announcing his admiration of her. Maybe the audience would find this sweet of Romeo, if it was not for how Shakespeare uses the language that Romeo uses to make him sound over exaggerated and for that reason. We feel somewhat superior over Romeo because we realise that his intentions are not completely pure. We can see this in line 4 when Romeo says’ ‘My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss’ The whole line
It could be argued that Prospero uses his power to benefit all because the play seems like it has a ''happy ending''.Further more, it could be argued that Prospero, having being wronged by many, has gracefully forgiven all. Prospero is also presented as a kind master who takes care of Caliban and educates him until Caliban tries to rape Miranda, Prospero’s daughter. In addition, Prospero also frees Ariel from being imprisoned by Sycorax. Ariel is grateful towards Prospero as a result and calls him ''Great master'' (I,ii,189). Areil further explains his appreciation by saying ''I come to answer they best pleasure ,be ,it to fly, to swim, to dive into the fire, to ride on the curled clouds, to thy strong bedding task '' (l,ii,189-930).
He does this by things such as calling her nicknames with negative characteristics, such as his little lark, spendthrift and featherhead. Both Nora and Torvald, put on a face for the rest of the world and each other. Surprisingly, these choices of façade complimented each other. We gradually see how it isn’t good enough for her, yet hides it anyways through most of the play. In this era, it is expected for a woman to go straight from her father’s hand to her husband’s and the sacrifices it meant.
At first she is very angry because she feels herself betrayed, but at least Gwendolen forgives Jack and they stay togheter until their life end. Critical Statement: In my opinion, "The Importance of Being Earnest" is one of the most wittiest and well written plays I have read so far for two reasons. First, it's the brilliance and style of Wilde's writing that facinated me. The plot, even if you don't think about it were deeply , is funny and intelligently composed; leading to a rather unexpected ending the characters are differentiated- and what I particullary liked about this point was that this applies to every person in the play, not only two or three, which is often the case in some plays or books. But the real highlights are the dialoogues, which are
Othello believes Iago’s lies and always listens to his advice throughout the play. One of the techniques used by Shakespeare throughout the play is repetition, during act 1, Othello is speaking to the Duke of Venice about Iago and says “A man he is of honest and trust” (I,iii,281). Othello believes that Iago is an honest man and is still blind to the fact that he is plotting to overthrow him, soon after Othello says this while speaking to Iago, he calls him “Honest Iago” (I,iii,281), then again to Cassio when he says “Iago is most honest” (II,iii,7), and two more times with the lines “Honest Iago,
In drama, the symbols play the most imperative role. Tom acts as the narrator of the play and also a character within the play. He underlines the play’s hostility between objectively presented reality and the memory’s alteration of reality. He sometimes speaks to the audience directly, to give a more direct explanation of what’s been occurring between the characters on stage. I felt remorse for Tom as I was reading the play, and it was as if I knew exactly what he was feeling; the sense of being trapped in a life in which he wanted no part of; what kind of life is that for a person?
Blindness and Insight: Torvald’s Tragedy of Pride Pride has been the cause of many conflicts through the ages of time. It is said, that at the center of every conflict is a man’s pride. Pride is a human nature that clouds the thoughts and controls the emotions of people. Pride builds barriers of arrogance and vanity that blinds people of seeing what is really going on around them. In Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, the pride of Torvald blinded Torvald, and gave him a sense of manhood and superiority over Nora throughout the play until his pride was put to the test, and in doing so, revealed a weak and desperate man.
Here he is saying that is Desdemona claims that her fathers accusations are right then they may not only take his position buth is life included. Othello in the play is very respected as well as respectful toward others.This is seen when he takes control of the fight that occurred between Cassio and Rodrigo.He greets Montano saying “worthy Montano” and in return Montano greets Othello saying “worthy Othello”.This shows his good natured character and how highly he was thought of and how highly he thought of others. Even though Othello is clearly a good man we notice how naive he is.We see this when he arrives back from Turkey and Othello says “Iago is most honest”, we see Othello mention how honest he thinks Iago is throughout the play.This shows how gullible and naive Othello is and how this ultimately leads to his downfall. Iago started telling Othello lies about Desdemona and Cassio how he thought they were having an affair. He did this by changing the appearance of things and making them look opposite of the actual reality.For example telling Othello that Desdemona gave her hankerchief to him and how they have already slept together.Othelle responds to the hankerchief situation saying “ farewell tranquil mind farewell content..Farewell!Othellos occupation is gone”.
His disinterest in the world he knows is beautiful confirms the depressed state he is in. Hyperbole: Intentional exaggeration to create an effect. Example: “He would drown the stage with tears..” (William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 49) Function: The first player’s performance of the speech leaves Hamlet in an awed state. He then uses a hyperbole to say that if the player were to act out with the feelings that Hamlet himself had, “he would drown the stage with tears”. He uses this hyperbole to both show his admiration for the actor’s skill, and to reflect the passions that he is feeling toward his father’s death and his quest for
