Flower Girl Stage Directions
1,096 wordsIn the preface Shaw describes the Oxford phonetician Henry Sweet, on whom Professor Higgins is modeled, but warns us that Higgins is not a portrait of Sweet.

Upper Class Society Importance Of Being Earnest
541 wordsSome may say that comedy is a philosophy of life, and that it is an always changing art form.

Social Hedda Theatrical
503 wordsHedda Gabler is not an easy character to get to know. At first reading she seems a bitter personality portrayed in an old-fashioned script set in an out-outmoded and foreign society.

However, upon further examination, Hedda Gablers fictional reality not only offers us the opportunity to observe the art and social concerns of Ibsen's day, but extends to us a paradigm by which we m...
