In Oedipus we see a man whos chief desire is to
improve the state of his nation. He treats both
his wife and those below him in status with
respect. In Othello, we see a man who has devoted
his live to protecting his nation and whos chief
desire is to be accepted by his wife and society
as the hero he is. So why do such unbelievable
terrible things happen to both of them? Their

misdoing, so it is unjust for them to suffer and
this is what makes for gre...

One of the longest-running and most successful
off-Broadway shows of all time, Little Shop of
Horrors, is what could be called an affectionate
spoof of the 1960 Roger Corman movie, Little Shop
of Horrors. Little Shop of Horrors has become a
household name thanks to a highly successful film
version and a score by the songwriting team of
Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. The 1982 play
Little Shop of Horrors is one of the most
unlikely, but successful, musical comedies of all
time. The plot of the Lit...

The Literature Of George Bernard Shaw

... dial he is oftentimes misunderstood. Shaw
never wanted to destroy religion or see it removed
from the fabric of society. No, he wanted to
affirm religion, that it is needed and available.
Though hypocritical in many ways it should persist
(Smith 3). Shaw would write letters to Tolstoy for
his opinion on his writings. In a letter about Man
and Superman Tolstoy replied to Shaw that it was
obvious that Shaw recognized that God has definite
aims (Bentley The Life Of The Drama 44). Shaw

Tony Kytes Story Women Were Very Controlled Rudy

Tony Kytes story is a well written story it is
told in a very clever type of way. It is told in
third person perspective and is also told by a
carrier with a horse and carriage telling his
passenger the things that Tony got up to. I think
that the writer has tried to make the reader think
that Tony is quite gullible and uses it to get
women where he wants them. The writer is also
trying to make you think that Tony is quite clever
in his own ways, he can be talking about how much
he likes them an...

Critical Film Analysis Of Smiles A Summer Night
550 words
Smiles of a Summer Night is the story of a series
of amorous adventures undertaken by various
people, set in Sweden at the turn of the century.
Done by Bergman, it is a scintillating, charmingly
sensual romantic comedy. The film deals with the
problems between several couples as they move in
different and rather unpredictable stages during
their erotic games. The setting is a country house
party in the midsummer of 1900. It is very
surprising, but in Smiles of a Summer Night women
are the domina...

Lady Catherine Mr Darcy
560 words
Elizabeth is a wonderful heroine. She is witty and
observant, which makes her an appropriate focus
for a social comedy. From the beginning it is
clear that she understands people much better than
the rest of the family, except perhaps her father.
It is only when she meets Mr Darcy that she is
forced to acknowledge that her judgements of
people might not be as clear as she believes. She
judges that he is a proud, distasteful man, which
is reasonably accurate for the early stages of the
novel, but...

Many plays have passed the audiences eyes with no
recognition. There are some plays which most
people do not remember. There are plays about
cats, dogs and most anything one can think up.
There are also plays which try to send a hidden
meaning to the audience. There are plays which are
covers for a real purpose of wasting an audiences
time. More importantly, there are good plays. As
the 1990 winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Piano

First, the mentalities of most citizens are that
of following the crowd. If small groups of people
change their view of our status in activities of
war, they will influence other people to change
their minds, and so on. Slowly we will find that
large areas of Athens will alter their opinions,
not only because they feel that they are right,
but also so that they may fit in with the
majority, therefore spreading the idea of peace
and retraction from fighting. Then if the decision

Greek Drama Modern Drama

Greek drama is quite simple by structure. It
consists of prologue (usually spoken by the actors
before the chorus appears), paradox (chorus
singing), first episode and first station (a
choral ode). There may be several episodes and
stations. The final scene is called exodus, where
the chorus sings a processional song. Modern drama
can have either simple or compound structure.

Legend Of Sleepy Hollow Fairy Tale

Romantic Rebellion (1) It is quite impossible not
to notice the fact that Washington Irving's story
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is highly allegorical
in its essence. In it, author clearly exploits the
motifs of medieval romance, within contemporary
settings, which add up to storys satiric effect.
First of all, Ichabod Crane clearly thinks of
Katrina Van Tassel as an embodiment of female
virtues, because even her very name implies the
