Twelfth Night Great Deal
754 wordsShakespeare cleverly uses the art of disguise, in both his tragedies and his comedies, in order to employ a literary device known as dramatic irony, where the audience members are aware of something (in this case the true identity of characters) that characters in the play are not. This, of course, creates tension in a play and excites the audience; actions take place on the stage, of which the audience knows the import, but characters on the stage do not. It also creates a setting for a great d...

Sir Toby Sir Andrew
540 wordsIf the play was based upon one single plot, Twelfth Night would not have been as it is.

The play starts with a major plot, Orsino wooing Olivia. Orsino has been asking Olivia to accept his love, but Olivia refuses it. To woo Olivia, Orsino sends messengers to speak on behalf of him. This is the reason why Viola is dragged in the middle of this ...

Merchant Of Venice Female Characters
1,771 wordsThroughout Mans history, women have always been at a disadvantage socially, economically, and politically. Shakespeare realized this and sought to bring the controversy that comes with Androgynous issues to life. Through strong female characters and the implications of disguises, Shakespeare exposes gender issues. Many critics believe Shakespeare poorly represents women in his plays through intentional exploiting of women with his boy-girl-boy disguises. When in fact, I see Shakespeare as exploi...

Counterpoint Within Shakespeare Twelfth Night
969 wordsShakespeare uses counterpoint throughout Twelfth Night to create an interesting story that captures the reader's attention. Counterpoint is a technique that incorporates multiple scenes happening simultaneously. These several scenes come together at the end of the work to produce a harmonious finish to an action-packed and appealing plot. In Twelfth Night these concurrent proceedings generate many misconceptions which provide the comical, somewhat ironic part of the play. The "love triangle" eff...

Act Ii Scene Twelfth Night
2,833 wordsTwelfth Night (1) William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night is commonly being referred to as one of his most successful works, even though some critics suggest that it lacks metaphysical depth. Play is filled with Renaissance motives, which leaves no doubt, as to when it was written. In late 16 th century, Christianity had lost its religious credibility, in the eyes of European intellectuals, which is why they were subconsciously trying to find a new ideal that could serve as spiritual foundation...

Sir Toby Sir Andrew
3,312 wordsViola Viola is one of Shakespeare's most charming and admirable heroines, and certainly the most sympathetic of the major serious characters (Orsino, Olivia, and herself) in Twelfth Night. Though shes forced to disguise herself as a page, for safety's sake, shes apparently as well-born as Olivia is the daughter of Sebastian of Messaline, a highly-placed nobleman in his own land. Shes also very attractive physically which can be inferred from the fact that even in male attire shes graceful enough...

Left Hand Long Time
1,105 wordsInstruments of the Orchestra Strings: The viola is an important member of the orchestra, but is not often heard by itself. Because it is bigger than the violin, with longer strings, it makes a rich, warm sound that is lower in pitch. In contrast to the viola the violin is the smallest member of the string family. Because its strings are the shortest, it produces the highest sound. The viola is a little heavier, and its shape is slightly different, too. But it is still played on the violist? s le...

Shakespeare True
944 wordsIn Ir? ne, Voltaire wrote, ? Shakespeare is a savage with sparks of genius which shine in dreadful darkness of night. ? One of Shakespeare? s sparks of genius was in his use of masks. These masks put characters in a sort of? darkness of night, ? allowing them to become someone else. They are used for imagery, so one can discover who a person is? the inside of the mask.

Masters Mistress Love Cesario
981 wordsIn Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, it is clearly evident that the fluctuation in attitude to the dual role and situation and tribulations imposed upon the character of Viola/Cesario ends up in a better understanding of both sexes, and thus, allows Viola to have a better understanding for Orsino. Near the opening of the play, when Viola is adopting her male identity, she creates another self, like two masks and may decide to wear one or the other while swinging between the two densities in emotion a...

Romeo Kills Doesn T
1,472 wordsThe very first thing that surprised me in Shakespeare was the fact that I came across an unfamiliar in Romeo and Juliet. This surprised me since I had read it so many times. The part that caught my eye was the fact that I never stopped to think about why Romeo kills Tybalt. It has always seemed to be that Romeo was revenging Mercutio to me, but this play I didn t notice evidence to that. It seemed more that Mercutio s big mouth was the only instigator in his death. The only inkling of animosity ...
