Coronation Scene Richards Character Characters
1,006 wordsIn order to compose an exploratory semi-reproduction of a text from a different era, one needs not only to analyse the depth in language, construction of characters and other logistics behind the text itself, but also aspects of the society which gave birth to it. It is an impossibility to effectively or accurately transform a text to meet the requirements placed on it by contemporary values while concurrently retaining representations of the parent society, without fully understanding the drivi...

Hard Boiled Keyes Walter
320 wordsIn comparison to which a preferred more, I would prefer the movie over the novel. Combining the theatrical elements of Hollywood film noir, Chandlers (screen-writer) dialogue skills, and Cains hard-boiled style, the film gives a better insight to the triangular relationship between Phyllis, Walter, and Keyes. In the film, we see that Walter is in a never-ending conflict to assert himself over Phyllis, and at the same time, to become more intimate with Keyes. Through the dialogues extensive use o...

Oscar Wilde Underlying Meaning
578 wordsIRONY the Challenge of Acting Oscar Wilde And George Bernard Shaw Irony is another staple tool of wit in Style acting, and it often seems to come effortlessly to British actors because the British rarely say what they mean.

But I notice that some American actors (other than native New Yorkers) are made uneasy by the ...

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. How could a woman in 102 -year-old play possibly be understandable or relevant to the late-twentieth-century student? 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...
