    Although this thesis is still being revised, it states: Dario Fo had political and social triggers that led him down the path to creating a more modern—and revolutionary—giullare storytelling style that is comprehensible to masses around the world. I chose my focus(es) for multiple reasons. The first is that I need to understand why he revised biblical stories and, specifically, “Mary Under the Cross”. I believe if I understand why he chose it politically and socially, I can connect to it as well and create a better final product. Additionally, it is essential that I comprehend how it was revised by Fo and—hopefully—it will be helpful to my work on the scene.…

    Jackson’s paper, “ What Mary Didn't Know” , is about a scientist Mary, who learns all the physical facts within the world from inside an isolated black-and-white room through a black and white TV. When she finally leaves the room, she experiences seeing a red tomato for the first time, and learns new phenomenal truths about what it is like to see the color red. The argument being will she learn something from the actual physical experience of seeing red, or is her prior knowledge enough to dismiss this experience. The knowledge argue infers that, contrary to physicalism, the complete physical truth is not the whole truth. Therefore, claiming all the physical facts of a phenomenon, without actually experiencing it is not enough.…

    Although the primary link in Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes is between its two primary characters, Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade, the relationship between Will’s heroic father Charles and the vile Mr. Dark has a much larger role in shaping the meaning of the text. The relationship between the latter two characters shapes the meaning of the text by identifying its implicit conflict, that of the ongoing battle between morality and wickedness. Even before they actually meet, the pair is introduced as antitheses to each other. Charles is described in his introduction as “not grandfather, not far-wandering, ancient uncle, as some might think, but [a] father” (Bradbury, 11). Such an underwhelming introduction paints him as a pushover, as someone who is not tuned into…

    Works of literature are a reflection of the time period they were written in; they explore the inner workings of the society and examine the most prominent issues of the time. Therefore, as time passes and humanity changes, the issues addressed evolve accordingly, with the exception of one issue, which endured the tests of time and remained one the most recurring themes in literature, the battle between good and evil. The theme made its first appearance in creation stories and while the stories differ between one culture and another, the theme of good and evil remained intact. To illustrate, in the Abrahamic religions’ version, Adam and Eve’s fall from heaven is caused by Satan, the very root of all evil. Centuries later, the battle between good and evil continues to be tirelessly fought whether in literature or other creative mediums.…

Even as this holds true throughout history, power and more specifically, exerting power over others is necessary for any society to exist. Exerting dominance, leadership and power are animalistic instincts that are necessary to maintain the order of organisms co-existing. Humans, as advanced organisms, face the unique challenge of morality and maintaining justice within societies that have had a history of being unjust because they are undeniably and unchangeably power based. This power imbalance leads directly to inequality and systemic oppression such as racism and sexism.…

    The idea of publishing The History of Mary Prince came initially from herself. Prince aspired for her story to be told from her own mouth, so that “the good people in England might hear from a slave what a slave had felt and suffered” making sure to include the most heartbreaking and gruesome details (55). Her narrative was the first account of a black woman’s life to be published in Britain, debuting during a time when slavery was still legal. Prince writes to disprove the justification that many slave owners had for their actions: that slaves were with no wish to be free. This book had such an immense effect on Britain because it was written by a former slave, disproving the idea that slaves were not human or could not survive being free,…

    The Tale reveals that the perfectly good woman is powerful, or at least potentially so, insofar as her suffering and submission are fundamentally insubordinate and deeply threatening to men and to the concepts of power and gender identify upon which patriarchal culture is premised (Hansen, 190.) However, the happy ending brings the heroine the dubious reward of permanent union with a man whom the Clerk, embellishing his sources, has characterized as a sadistic tyrant, worst of men and cruelest of husbands (Hansen, 190.) As a final message and a warning for both men and women alike, the Clerk's tale ends with the following…

This just man will try to understand the truth of justice.…
