Settle The War Womens Equality Women
547 wordsLysistrata is one of the most popular of the existing Greek comedies and therefore has been of tremendous influence. The play provides insights into politics, sexual values, and family values of the time it was written. The play is not feminist but displays the sexual hypocrisy of the times and has given feminists some encouragement. One has to realize that a lot will depend upon how the production is staged. Using women, some of them naked, will get the play condemned as pornographic. Clothed w...

Thematic Analysis Of The Film Fight Club
878 wordsThe film Fight Club, with its critique of 1990 s American mass consumerism and its effect on the country's majority of movie-going audiences (mostly white males 16 - 34), should be considered a controversial film.

Therefore, the most important question Fight Club is that in a society considerably tolerant of controversy, is it still po...

And Hamlet the character has had an especial temptation for that most dangerous type of critic: the critic with a mind which is naturally of the creative order, but which through some weakness in creative power exercises itself in criticism instead.
