The use of “...we are, for as long as we are.” (Line 16 and 17) Shows that Duffy is inviting her readers into the poem to help reflect upon how she feels. The formats of these pieces are all varied. Shakespeare firstly has written a play. However, within his play he writes a few sonnets to show the feelings of love between both Romeo and Juliet. One of the famous sonnets in the play is in act 1 scene 5, where Romeo shows his true feelings for Juliet during their first encounter.
In King Lear, Shakespeare successfully creates his own vocabulary and rules of grammar that assist in revealing the emotional intensity in the spoken words of a character. Tragedy is the highest form of drama therefore the diction would have to be adequately developed for the audience to gain an appreciation of the genre. This is particularly true to King Lear in Shakespeare’s reconstruction of sentences in order to heighten the emotional intensity of the character. In Lear’s speech the separation of verb and subject with long delaying or expanding interruptions conveys to the audience a sincerity of thought making the action seem genuine, familiar; compelling the audience to feel a sense of pity or fear (catharsis). According
My presentation is about intrigue and disobedience in King Lear. I project a part of the play to the screen instead of words since I have used understandable language and some dialogues from the play. We can see many intriguing things in the play such as vanity and folly. In almost every act and every scene we see the things which have done behind someone’s back. In Act 1, end of Scene 1 we see dialogue of the eldest and middle daughters of King Lear, after they have got the inheritance.
Andrew Davies purposely used that technique to mirror Shakespeare’s thematic technique to create similar effect. I also noticed that the positioning of the character is quite interesting, in every conversation between Jago and Othello, Jago is always the one in higher position. This aims to symbolise Jago’s power, control and manipulation over Othello. This also gives an imagery of Jago being the puppet master who controls everything behind the scene. Shakespeare’s Othello is a tragedy so it is most crucial that the adaptation keeps the important aspects which make the play what it is.
King Richard II essay Explore Richard's use of poetic and political rhetoric in this play and the possible dramatic effects of this contrast. Richard's use of language evolves throughout Richard II as the character himself and his circumstances change. The play begins with Richard being the king, using a very Machiavellian and political rhetoric in public. As he looses his power, his language becomes more and more poetic. This new language seems to show the sincerity of the king and his part of humanity he didn't show before.
The passage begins with a speech given by Brutus to the conspirators, followed by the debate of involving Cicero in the conspiracy, and the dilemma of whether Marc Antony should be killed along with Caesar. Shakespeare uses dialogue and various figures of speech to bring out an emotional response in the audience. Brutus’s speeches show us the power of his words and how easily they can have an influence on the rest of the conspirators. He delivers a highly effective speech on why Romans like them must not take oaths, because the thought of the future state of Rome under Caesar’s tyrannical rule must motivate them to keep their word. He states that oaths are only for cowards and feeble old people, and people who cannot be trusted for they would otherwise have broken it.
A close critical analysis of Twelfth Night can reveal how Shakespeare manipulates the form, structure, and language to contribute to the meaning of his plays. Form Through the form of dialogue Shakespeare conveys the relationship between characters. For example, the friendship and understanding between Olivia, and her servant Feste, the clown, is shown in their dialogue in Act 1, Scene 5. In this scene Shakespeare shows that both characters are intellectuals by constructing their colloquy in prose. Characterising Feste, Shakespeare gives him the aphorism, Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. (Shakespeare) In this timeless observation, William Shakespeare accurately reflects the idea that art is a universal language among men. Through the technicality and expertise of writers, singers, dancers, poets, and actors, certain ideas about life are communicated which expose the truths of reality and offer solutions of redemptive hope from suffering. While they share a common purpose, however, these varying art forms are unique in the ways in which they speak to the audience. Some art forms, for instance, interact directly with the audience, giving them a sense of inclusion into the piece.
Richard III Richard III is a historical play written to reflect the chaotic events of the War of Roses. However, Shakespeare is careful to do this is a secretive, indirect fashion because of the harsh punishments associated with speaking against the ruling parties. The play presents more than a history lesson. Shakespeare produces an intriguing character, Richard III, who audiences grow to admire as they watch his rise and fall during the course of the play. The appeal of Richard’s character is the most interesting aspect of this play.
It shows this in certain quotes that describe and show off a character’s personality. It shows conflict that will unfold later on in the play and things that characters say display their personality and relationships with other people. In this scene Othello defends his love for Desdemona and why she has fallen in love with him, as her father believes he has used charms and spells to seduce her. Othello reveals to Brabantio that Desdemona fell in love with his stories of war and his differences to anyone she has ever met. This shows Othello and Desdemona’s devotion and commitment to each other and gives the audience an insight into the character of Othello and his origins and life of war.
