C S Lewis Older Sister
1,345 words
In 1956, Clive Staples Lewis wrote an
intellectually deep book, which he titled "Till We
have Faces. " It is considered one of his best
works although it is not one of his better-known
works. This particular novel provides one with
many ways to interpret. There are so many symbols,
metaphors and at times the mythic retelling can
appear to be an allegory. Till We Have Faces is a
wonderful retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and
Psyche. In this myth, Psyche is not allowed to see
her husband, Cupi...

use of motion capture for computer character
animation is relatively new, having begun in the
late 1970 's, and only now beginning to become
widespread. Motion capture is the recording of
human body movement (or other movement) for
immediate or delayed analysis and playback. The

Spike Lee Director Producer

The man we know as Spike was born Shelton Jackson
Lee on March 20, 1957 in Atlanta, Georgia. The
first of five children, he got the nickname Spike
from his mother for being a tough baby. Spikes
tendency to be difficult is one that goes right
back to the crib. The infant Spike, much like the
man he grew into, was small but loud. The family
he was born into was great for a number of
reasons. His parents, college educated newlyweds,
both came from families stressing creativity and
black tradition. ...

Fools In Shakespeare Puck
1,640 words
Shakespeare is a master of the telling of stories.
When we observe his works, we see the struggle of
the main characters with themselves and others.
Many a time there is lack of reason as the
protagonists fight the demons, which keep them
from their goal, but the beauty of Shakespeare is
that reason is usually portrayed in the form of a
fool. When we think of fools, we think of those
with little capacity of understanding, but in
Shakespeare, fools are usually mediators, who give
us insight to th...

great theatres both on and off Broadway, then
certainly the Sullivan Street Playhouse and its
long running production of The Fantasticks rates
as one of the most celebrated of New York
theatrical traditions. Maintaining its place as

Form Of Art Sixteenth Century

The brilliant and intimately appealing art of the
unido-e woodblock print is undoubtedly the most
well-known of all Japanese arts. This particular
style of art flourished in Japan from the
mid-seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. The
word Ukiyo-e was originally Buddhist and meant
"sad world." By the seventeenth century, however,
the meaning evolved to mean "floating world. " The
"world" was one of transient pleasures and freedom
from the cares and concerns of the world. The

Plays are live shows with actors and actresses
acting out a story in front of a live audience. A
movie is a pre-taped showing of actors and
actresses acting out a story. There are benefits

The play Ragtime is set in New York in 1906. This
musical is very intriguing because the story of
the characters in quite emotional. The actions
that take place in this play are very embellished.
In order to portray some of the dramatic scenes of
the play, the actors must use exaggeration during
their songs and actions. This helps the audience
to imagine what the characters are feeling. The
props that are used by the characters are
intricate and allow the audience to understand

Judge That It Exists Myth Of Sisyphus Camus

Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he
is Albert Camus announced this in the Introduction
to The Rebel (1951). Encompassing the author in
his above mentioned predicament, it would be
impossible, however, to unravel his being. We
would, thus, begin this analysis on Camus with the
Sisyphus-like pre-supposition of sure shot
failure, philosophies by the great man himself.
Camus was born in 1913 at Mondovi in Algeria & was
fostered all through by extreme poverty. He also

Dark Imagery Lady Macbeth

The opposition of light and dark as symbols for
life and death is the foundation upon which much
of Shakesphere's Macbeth is built. In Act V Scene
V of Macbeth, strong words covey all of these
thoughts to the reader. The tone for Macbeth's
speech is immediately set after hearing of the
death of Lady Macbeth. Having lost his queen, and
seeing his hopes turn to ashes, the bitter Macbeth
now comments on life in caustic words. "Tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace. " The basic feel of
this brings a ne...

Loved Ophelia Kill Claudius

... red already-all but one-shall live" (1084,
line 144). The 'one' Hamlet refers to is
undoubtedly Claudius-which supports the link of
vengeance and role playing. The next scene alludes
to similar conflicts, but much more subtly. In
this scene, while Hamlet is advising the player on
how his lines should be read, he says "Suit the
action to the word, the word to the action" (1086,
line 15). If only Hamlet would follow his own
advice, would his conflict be subdued. This
illustrates the inconsiste...

Avenge His Father Act 1 Scene

The movement towards Hamlets regeneration begins
with his reflection on the players speech about
Hecuba; it advances further in the closet scene,
and it reaches culmination in the gravediggers
scene. Prior to the players speech about Hecuba,
Hamlet lacked the focus to avenge his fathers
murder. Upon witnessing the passion the player
portrayed, Hamlet has somebody to emulate. Hamlet
continues on after hearing this speech with a new
drive. He has become so aggressive that he
accidentally kills Pol...

School Level Spare Time

A hobby is defined to be a pursuit outside one's
regular occupation engaged in especially for
relaxation. Theatre, a fine art, chosen by many in
their spare time is my favorite hobby. Theatre is
not only an ability to act, but also more of a
life lesson. Within theatre you learn
communication, and life skills. Theatre was first
introduced to society in 500 BC in Athens Greece.

god, Dionysus. The only special ceremony for this
god was the chanting ...

Point Of View King Lear
762 words
The usual method of analyzing Shakespeare's
characters is to tabulate what they say and do,
and add what other characters say about them.
Though this is possible method and one which
occupies a prominent place in the Shakespearean
critical tradition known as character criticism,
it can be misleading as it starts from the wrong
end. Shakespeare did not begin by inventing
characters and then search for a suitable plot to
embody them. His characters are largely defined by
their roles or by their fu...

Honest And Fair Feigning Madness
1,344 words
In William Shakespeare's, Hamlet, the protagonist
exhibits a puzzling, duplicitous nature. Hamlet
contradicts himself throughout the play as he
attempts to deal with his internal conflicts. He
endorses both the virtues of acting a role and
that of being true to one's self. He supports both
of these conflicting endorsements with his
actions. This ambiguity is demonstrated by his
alleged madness, for he does behave madly, only to
become perfectly calm and rational an instant
later. These inconsist...

Lends Credence First Act Hamlet
914 words
Hamlet is fundamentally a play about seeking the
truth. The opening scene is a miniature play which
introduces the questions that will have to be
answered throughout the rest of the work. Barnardo
asks, "Who's there?" and is answered by Fransisco
with, "Nay, answer me. Stand and unfold yourself"
(1. 1. 1 - 2). The entire plot is encapsulated in
these words, with Hamlet struggling to know who is
really standing across from him, and with his own
unfolding of himself to the audience. Thus Hamlet
