In the play, Gwendolen sets the image for a typical Victorian woman, along with her mother, Lady Bracknell. She has her personal values and ideals, and exhibits self- confidence. This can be proven by some of her lines in Act 1, like her first line “I am always right!” or “In fact, I am never wrong.” However, sometimes her over-confidence makes her look foolish. When she meets Cecily for the first time, she declares that they were going to be “great friends” and she has “likes her more than she can say”. Then when she suspects that Cecily is going to steal her fiancé, Gwendolen immediately switches her tone to saying that she “distrusted” Cecily from the first moment she saw her and that her “first impressions of people are invariably right”.
“The truth was, she’d been able to leave Constance- apparently because she was considered a bad influence on the other girls. Jenny hadn’t thought she was being a bad influence at all- she was just trying to have fun, like every other girl at school.” Drama, lies, and gossip; these are all used in The it Girl by Cecily Von Ziegesar as foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is the act of hinting toward something that will happen in the future. This always keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen next. The foreshadowing in this story, although blatant, will keep you on the edge of your seat.
She has changed a lot since the beginning of the play. Keeping a smile on my face throughout this scene is quite important. It shows to the audience that Katherine, now tamed is really happy. She can truly enjoy life and it’s brilliance to the fullest now that she has someone who really has shown her love and care and she has learned to show those feelings back. When Petruchio says the line “What duty they do owe their lords and husbands” I would want the other female characters to gasp in shock at what Petruchio said but as Katherine I would not gasp and rather ponder for a moment putting my hand up to my face to clearly show that the character is honestly thinking about this.
After realizing this, she fakes sick so she doesn’t have to go. This clip is very stereotypical of high school girls and is very overly dramatic. 1. Describe and explain the communication competence level of the characters in your scene. Although the words were hurtful, most of them were received as they were intended to be.
She believes she has truly found love in this asylum and to her it feels pretty good. Towards the end of the text Lewis kisses her out of the safety of Julie. She blushed she was surprised she loved it. She is mad of course she is, she is in an asylum but the message Nowra is trying to put across is that everyone is mad when it comes to love. Cherry seems to become more nutty when she falls for Lewis.
Throughout most of the play Mary is accepted by the girls and the court as she just follows along with them without and disturbance. However she chooses to defy Abigail, to do what’s right and an automatic disassociation began between her and the girls. Miller uses stage directions to express the exclusion to the audience “[She glances at Abigail who is staring down at her remorselessly]”. However under the pressure Mary breaks and she once again makes a decision to follow along with the girls’ hysteria to once again belong. Once again Miller uses stage directions to show her reunite with the girls “[they all watch, as Abigail, out of her infinite charity, reaches out and draws the sobbing Mary to her].
watched her construct a character so thoroughly and wear it so constantly that for spells she almost deceived herself” (149). This proves to the reader that Rosalind is afraid to show her inner self but she
Another strong theme is the conflict between good and evil. In most cases, good and evil show the same characteristics and Wicked certainly holds a lot of these characteristics, but at the same time, it shows the audience that evil may come from many unexpected sources. A clear example is the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba) is not really wicked at all. She has been branded “evil” by her peers because of her looks and she can almost do nothing to escape it. It is a tragic idea, but all is satisfied at the
The constant use of "I" puts us right in the narrator’s head and allows us to empathize with her. Ironic Indirection If we took the narrator’s words at face value, we would believe that her husband is kind and loving, that she really is physically ill, and that women really do get trapped in wallpaper. All of this is questionable at best and mostly dead wrong. This is part of the fun of first person narration – you’re never quite sure if the narrator’s perceptions actually reflect what’s going on. The narrator's tone also clues us into her character – her uncertainty and hesitation at the start of the story, and her determination towards the
In fact, when Ella gets to exert power over other creatures she is exuberant. Being submissive is not necessarily a good thing when you do it constantly. We rejoice when we have the power to control not only ourselves but also other people. Where as in Cinderella’s story, a girl is encouraged to listen and do what she is told for after she is exceptionally good, a man will come to her. This curse is exactly what
