Roman Polanski Unanswered Questions
1,141 words
The last moments of a production are important
because they can greatly alter the audiences'
interpretation of the entire play. This is
especially true in William Shakespeare's Macbeth.
A number of unanswered questions such as whom is
responsible for Macbeth's fate and whether peace
is restored to the kingdom, gather at the end of
the play Macbeth. In each of the different
productions, directors Orson Wells, Roman
Polanski, and Trevor Nunn allude to these answers.
Shakespeare's play ends with Ma...

End Of The Scene Goody Proctor

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller,
which is based on the true story of the Salem
witch trails. Miller wanted theatre to heighten
the awareness of what living in our time involves.
Therefore, his play has many links with the modern
world, McCarthyism for instance. Breaking it down
into many smaller scenes, I will analyse Act 1 of
The Crucible. I am doing this to explore the
dramatic effect of character and action. The
Crucible is a powerful drama and is strongly built
to bring out t...

to express freedom and spontaneity. Paradoxically
perhaps (at least for the Hobbesian who
understands only negative freedom), the dancer's
freedom of expression requires years of
disciplined practice and study. Again, the dancer
becomes ever more free to express his or her
ideas, feelings, etc. - the more he or she
undertakes the rules of long practice, proper
diet, etc. As another example: as drivers of
automobiles, we all share the same goal: we...

Furthermore, both authors are failing to include
rather important viewpoints into their arguments
that ultimately results in the weakening of their
chosen position. Dolan argues that population
growth when coupled with the technological
progress will eventually level off and the problem
will more or less disappear. He is claiming a tech
fix is inevitable, but ignores the problems with
applying this tech fix to the lesser developed
nations that are being most violently effected by

F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald presents the
