My Final Comparative Essay: Beatrice Chancy

Improved Essays
The play that I have selected for my final comparative essay is Beatrice Chancy, due to its colossal connection to various components that Room delivers to the reader. To begin with, I found that the storyline of both the novel and the play, indirectly held a close relation; due to the fact, that in both plotlines the child held an immense connection with their mother, and extreme anguish towards their father. In addition, the male character in both of the storylines was depicted as evil, and portrayed the essence of Thanatos. As in the novel, Old Nick not only abducted, but also raped the young female, which fabricated the loathing feeling that Jack illustrated towards the man. Nevertheless, in the play, the young female loathes her father

    This past weekend I went to view Southern Miss’s Trojan Barbie. This play was an amazing display of the range of talent in Southern Miss’s theatre department. As I stepped through the doors of Tatum Theatre, I was transported back to Ancient Troy. Along with the set, the preshow soundtrack made me excited for the play that I was about to see. When the lights dimmed and the play began, soldiers walked out from the vomitoriums and surrounded audience members.…

    Justin, Well written post, great break down of each act. From the first 3 acts I read I am curious to know will the rest of the book be about different characters finding love. Act 1 was very critical to the play, because it set the content of the poem, it shows how man and woman can have different views about one another in a negative way, but still be attractive to each other subconsciously. Like Benedick and Beatrice, they were so rude to one another but eventually started falling in love with another.…

    The death of her husband tells the reader that Mrs. Mallard was not happy in her marriage and is free to be an independent woman without the negative judgment from her peers. In “Desiree’s Baby”, Chopin talks about how controlling her husband is by being a slave owner and how he responds to thinking she is not white. In this story, Desiree’s husband is portrayed as a self-centered jerk. These examples in each story are vital because even though both women are in unhappy marriages with controlling husbands; their husbands have different antagonistic…

    Charles Dicken presents numerous dualities in his book A Tale of Two Cities, one of which are the characters Lucie Manette and Madame Defarge. These two characters represent two very different themes of purity and hatred, respectively, shown by analyzing their physical traits, character traits, and their past. Lucie Manette has the purity of an angel. The first time she is introduced in the book, she is described as “ a short, slight, pretty figure, a quantity of golden hair, a pair of blue eyes…” (Dickens 33).…

    The play Trifles focuses more on the context of objects and symbols, while the story includes more detailed character interactions and focuses more on character depth. The play also controls distance but not pace as the story does. The men’s mocking attitude and the women’s sensitivity to trifles underscore the basic differences in the play. For example, the title of the play Trifles means something that is small or not very important.…

    Artistic responses When I first read No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre my immediate thoughts were thoughts of life choices, after life, regrets, torture, and life versus death. The play brought a sense of helplessness and confusion. When I first read this play I pictured a dark eerie room bare, with three sofas, and nothing more. I could hear the sighs of desperation and defeat throughout the building, and I felt the feeling of being trapped with no escape. Due to my first responses, I hoped that the audience would also feel these same type of responses, which further helped me in my choice of doing this play.…

    Elinor Fuchs is a university professor whose work has revolved around the analysis of theater and comprehension of the world inside a play. She released an article with the intention of helping her readers create a better analysis of whichever play in hand by creating a series of questions that removes the reader from looking inside the world of the play into the outside. Questions such as “What changes in this world?” (Fuchs, p.7) help place the reader from the first page to the last sentence in order to understand what happened from an outside perspective. On the other hand, she also makes her reader analyze with her question “what has this world demanded of me?”…

    Two important works that are good examples of traditional gender roles are Susan Glaspell ’s play Trifles and Lynn Nottage’s play Poof. On the surface, these plays don’t seem to have very much in common; a closer look, however, reveals that both plays show similar themes and issues.

    William Shakespeare excelled in the art of juxtaposing opposites. His brilliancy in presenting opposites together can be seen in both his literary styles as well as thematic depictions. The same style is evident in his pastoral drama As You Like It. Woven in elements of comedy and romance, the play presents a clash between the life of “the painted pomp”, the “envious court”; and the simple ways of the forest. The play upholds the theme of love and presents it in its varied forms.…

    What is a truth? One may derive a multitude of definitions for this vague word and may come up with many different truths; and this is no different from how one perceives what a single or several symbols possibly mean. However, one could make inferences or inductions to what a symbol may indicate due to the symbol's usage and context of a given passage. And as such, one would perceive academia, the games, and the baby in Edward Albee's play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf as having great symbolic relevance as they can be shown blurring the lines of reality and illusion. Academia symbolism is enveloped in this play has a major relevance to the setting as it establishes a context of which the characters fall under.…

    While often regarded as an Elizabethan playwright, Shakespeare’s career straddled two epochs: the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1562 to 1603) and the reign of King James (1603 to 1625). While it is notoriously difficult to find details about Shakespeare’s personal life, he taps into what was happening around him in his writing. This was the year in which two of Shakespeare’s best-known plays were crafted: Macbeth and, the subject of this notebook, King Lear. The latter play tells the story of the titular King Lear, who at the start of the play demands declarations of love from his three daughters (Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia), that he might divide the kingdom among them based on their devotion to him.…
