Jordana In William Shakespeare's A Bride

Improved Essays
At the heart of the misunderstanding that permeates the entire story is Ryan as Dr. Cooper. With his signature look and style, he fits the part quite well even though the viewers only see him momentarily. While I have seen him in nothing else, I doubt I'll forget him in this role.

As unforgettable, unattached singles, it is a delight to see Jordana as Angel and Nicole as Brooke. Neither girl is new to acting, and again, their scene is noteworthy and fraught with entertaining comedic timing. I had not seen Nicole in anything else, but Jordana has been seen in a variety roles, and Hallmark Channel fans may remember her from A Bride for Christmas. Both capably play these shallow females that are more concerned with wealth and prestige from dating prospects rather than a down-to-earth guy who helps others for a living (even if what he does is unusual). While neither gets an opportunity to display their acting chops, viewers will not soon forget these beautiful, vivacious, pretentious ladies.

In keeping with the Hallmark brand, Antonio plays the sleazy almost-fiance of Erika's character, and to look at him is to hate him--that is, hate the character. Sure, Antonio lends his handsome face and physique to this guy, but we know he's the wrong guy for our lovely heroine. Antonio is no stranger to the Hallmark channel and other networks, and chances are that you will have seen him in at least one of his varied roles (maybe you remember him in Hats Off to Christmas or Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade). Antonio's character has to pull a few shady deals out of his proverbial hat, but he's got this character down. I hope we get to see him in a role where he wins the affections of the leading lady again, but he certainly has displayed his acting prowess and versatility in this role. I don't even know if the viewers will "love to hate him" since he's pretty

    The Princess Bride is a compelling novel that retains your interest by telling enthralling tales of revenge, love, despair, and hate. It includes most of the typical stereotypes that is found in your average fairytale, but it is far from your average classic fairytale with its ever-present plot twists.

    William Shakespeare did not become arguably the most famous playwright in the history of the world for coloring inside the lines. In each one of his complex plays, he pushes against the boundaries of social norms. Shakespeare incorporates bold discussions of fleeting love, gender uncertainty, mistaken identity, and ironic comedy into his creative plots during the 1600’s when public discussion on such progressive ideas were rare. In his comedy Twelfth Night, Shakespeare uses dialogue between his three main characters, Viola, Orsino, and Olivia, to express his critique on the strict nature of gender roles during his time. Through his manipulation of his characters’ identities, his placement of women in leadership positions, and his questioning of traditional gender roles, Shakespeare reveals his theme that strict definitions of gender reinforce false stereotypes of both men and women.…

    The book 'The Princess Bride' was rather crafty in the way it presented itself. The authors notes have never been so important to a reader. This came as a shocking inclusive third layer, the authors notes weren't a suspicious place at all, as they are always displayed as pure truth and motivation of the authors background. Never had one thought that the story had truly began once you had opened the first page, thus immediately feeding the audience white lies. The authors notes described places of interest and sounded realistically convincing, the trap doesn't click for most people until they read the pool scene - a luscious babe swimming alone.…

    At the first of the movie, I thought Ryan Phillippe was one of the best cop that you will meet because he shown great levels of integrity but he wasn’t. When he seen the bad action of his fellow office, Matt Dillon, he didn’t want nothing to do with it. I believe riding with him is kind of like that movie Training Day with Denzel Washington.

    The small of iron filled the air, flooding the huntress' senses as she pulled herself along the ground, trying desperately to reach her knife that had been knocked out of her hand during the skirmish. The body of her lover laid behind her, the silver blade sticking out of the werewolf's chest; the cruel reminder that their last memory together was that of a modern Romeo and Juliet; forbidden lovers, damned to die alone, no longer synchronous in their beating hearts. But Aisha tried to escape her role in the tragic story, fighting for her life as the dagger followed behind her menacingly in the form of her brothers and sisters, the hunters she'd grown up beside who believed her no more than a traitor. It would be easier to let go, to give up,…

In our current era, unrequited love is still a greatly utilised theme in many books, such as “Dear John.” Nicholas Sparks writes, “I finally understood what true love meant…love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.” This quote very much relates to the characters in the play, “Twelfth Night” written by William Shakespeare.…
