Firstly the beginning of the play shows Stanley abusing his leadership in the household to get what he wants. During the scene where Stanley is playing poker with his friends and Blanche begins to interrupt them, he finds himself losing his dominance in the group and ends up having a tantrum. “Let the rut go of me, you sons of bitches!” (Williams 58), Stanley blows his top and goes crazy on both his friends and his wife whom he hits. A character of this mental instability should not be even thought of as a hero, his control over his house is not the only thing he abuses when together with his wife and sister in law. Stanley hates when Blanche gets more attention than him.
a central motif in the play is trickery or deceit, whether for good or evil purposes. counterfeiting, or concealing one's true feelings, is part of this motif. everyone seems to lie; good characters as well as evil ones engage in deceit as they attempt to conceal their feelings: beatrice and benedick mask their feelings for one another with bitter insults; don john spies on claudio and hero; don pedro and his 'crew' deceive benedick and beatrice. who hides and what is hidden? how does deceit function in the world of the play, and how does it help the play comment on life in general?
Shakespeare applies power play to heighten a person’s influence and control over others; the theme of manipulation is expressed in astonishing ways through Iago’s power in Othello.

* This is a prime example of situational irony as Macbeth becomes ruthless later in the play. * This can be seen in Act 5 Scene 3 when he calls his servant a ‘whey-face’. * He becomes a desperado and arrogant, as he knows he is going to hell anyway, so he has no qualms about committing more sins, because he has gone against the Divine Right of Kings. * In the film, during Macbeth’s soliloquy, wine is used as the main prop and is used in many ways. * Stewart occasionally pauses and sniffs the red wine cork.

Brigham Young once said, “Why do we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?” One of the many stories in Tales From the Thousand and One Nights is “The Historic Fart, “ story about a man who lets out a loud fart on his wedding night. He is extremely ashamed and embarrassed, and runs off never to be seen again. This is a great example about how caught up people are in caring about what others think of them.

Everyone worries about what people think of them at some time or another, but why do we care so much?
