William Shakespear is a wonderful writer that uses different methods to get his message across in a creative and interesting way. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” he uses the different categories of the English language to bring to the audience attention that Romeo and Juliet are “star-crossed” and fate brings them together. Inevitability of fate would be one of the main themes of the play. Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another brings them closer together but the fight between their two sides would lead to the death of these two lovers. William Shakespear often us motifs to paint a picture of what’s going on in the story.
In Ray Bradbury’s novel ‘Fahrenheit 451’ Bradbury explores the development of his protagonist Guy Montag. Guy gradually increases to rebel the dystopian society in which he is inhabited. Bradbury investigates this through a wide range of literary techniques to convey the development of his protagonist. At first, the reader is shown that Montag is pleased and contented with his life. This is proved by the effective and striking first line; ‘It was a pleasure to burn’ The reader may be potentially shocked at the interesting word choice as the noun ‘pleasure’ – which has strong positive connotations and linked with happiness and enjoyment – is juxtaposed with ‘burn’ which is associated with destruction.
The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known. The article also states that Wilbur’s approach to translation is informative and he often gives importance to “rhyming solutions”. I find it interesting that he argues that creating natural verse is a matter of patience, and creating rhymes that sound new. The article stated that at one point Wilbur had a fear of unintentionally overlapping verses, this shows the possibility of verses may have been more limited than it is
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is one of the world’s greatest love stories in literature. It is written by Shakespeare and especially in act 3 scene 1 Shakespeare cerates tension not just for the audience but also for the characters. Shakespeare uses many different techniques to create drama and the tension; he uses high levels of emotion and violence. He does this by creating a sense of danger and fear in these scenes which contain excitement and emotion. The three things he uses to create tension are going to be mentioned in the conclusion.
Though they both deal with the same concept that he who hold great power is not far from or is already corrupted they are both presented in different ways. In both text power drives the plots in a way that creates high amounts of tension and suspense that keeps the audience intrigued. Both writers; Orwell and Shakespeare, use contrast between characters and inner conflict in very different ways. This is used in order to support the tension and suspense that was created. For example in the play Macbeth we are aware of Macbeth’s inner conflict which results in us (the audience) to sympathise with him.
His tone is singularly effective—wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes... We look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth". Nathanael was a well-respected man and even Author Herman Melville dedicated his great novel Moby Dick to Mr. Hawthorne. I learned many interesting facts about Mr. Nathanael Hawthorne, but the one thing I absolutely loved was he was intelligent, inspiring, exhilarating, and inspirational when he wrote. The one novel I love and happened to read was The Scarlet Letter, It was about a red letter “A “being sewn onto a woman’s dress for adultery and was considered sinful. Can you imagine if we had the scarlet letter now days?
Many novels in this genre tackle personal issues such as dating, relationships, weight issues, life issues and many more. Often told from a point of view that pulls the audience in as if the narrator is confiding in them, Chick Lit novels offer something to identify with, and a great percentage of the audience take comfort from this. I love the odd book to read that’s light and funny and easy going and I am one hundred per cent a sucker for a happy ending; everything that is beheld in a Chick Lit novel, but can we call it literature and is it really any good when compared to Authors such as Stephen King and
This is a typical way of portraying love and it encapsulates their spontaneous feelings and implies a deep and sudden connection between the two. This would have been very effective when performed to an Elizabethan audience, the clear contrast in literary style would have been easily understood and the sonnet form allows Shakespeare to break through the limits of dramatic performance to involve the audience emotionally as if they were recipients to a poem. The language used in the sonnet also helps to create a sense of separation and intimacy for the main characters, the language and form of the dialogue is different from that used by the other characters in the play creating a greater sense of intimacy and understanding between Romeo and
Although poems can be based on a vast array of subjects, one of the most interesting and thought-provoking themes there is, is about love. The topic of love can be written in so many different ways and this is what I shall be writing about in this essay. The poems I shall be comparing are; Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare, Talking In Bed by Philip Larkin, My Last Duchess by Robert Browning, I Am Very Bothered by Simon Armitage, Remember by Christina Rossetti and finally, Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy. The first poem is by William Shakespeare and it’s called ‘Sonnet 116’ and it has a very positive outlook on what love is like, yet it is not a poem about love between the speaker and their lover. Instead, it looks at the idea of love and it’s concept.
All critics agree in considering Twelfth Night as one of the most delightful of Shakespeare’s comedies. It is full of sweetness and pleasantry. It makes us laugh at the follies of mankind, not despire them, still less bear any ill-will towards them. From start to end the play is full of gay joviality. The sentimental elements and the unsentimental malice a livelier, more dramatic impression from their contrast: and the contrast itself makes the dolling life of the play more interesting to an audience.
