    The Importance Of Communication In The Marquise Of O

    “The One Where Effective Communication Died” Clearly, one of the main themes of The Marquise of O is the breakdown of communication. Each of the main characters somehow manages to fail to communicate key things that would put them leaps and bounds ahead in terms of discovering the truth about the Marquise’s strange pregnancy. Prominent instances of this communication failure are the vehement plea from the Marquise’s mother for the Marquise to tell her the truth as well as her initial dismissal of the Marquise’s answer. Accordingly, it can be seen that the communication failings concerning the mother are born from religious and social conventions that were prevalent in society during the time of the story.…

    Conduit Street Unattractiveness

    Moreover, the concept of the unattractiveness of loquacity and excessive expressionism is evident among attendees of the social events. At the dinner on Conduit Street, Elinor notes the “poverty” and “deficiency” of scintillating conversation despite the attendance of genteel persons. The “chief of their visitors” are absurdly talkative under the pretext of agreeableness, and John Dashwood “had not much to say for himself that was worth hearing, and his wife had still less” (233).When the ladies retreat to the drawing-room, the conversation continues to diminish in value for the mundane subject of “the comparative heights of Harry Dashwood, and Lady Middleton’s second son William” dominated the discussion (284). As the women excessively and…

    Adaptation Of Branagh's Henry V

    Henry V was always going to be a bit of a deal breaker here. While the other plays in this series have all been previously adapted for television, Henry V has the double whammy of Olivier and Branagh’s on-screen precedents setting two very different benchmarks for all subsequent adaptations to try and match. The director can either meet the challenge head-on or change the rules and present a completely different beast altogether. And so The Hollow Crown came to a close with “The Tragedy of Henry V”. The surprisingly downbeat ending of the play, wherein the chorus alerts us of Henry’s early death was projected back to the very beginning of this production, which opens with Henry’s funeral and makes it clear to us all that everything we are about…

    David Benedict’s review analyzes the play from beginning to end. He begins by observing that “it’s all frightfully awkward for two such smartly professional couples, but everyone is determined to be civilized about this” (Benedict). He describes how with a dominant and slightly patronizing tone, Veronique begins the meeting and tries to stimulate the couples’ discussion. Veronique’s control of the meeting disintegrates, though, as questions of blame begin to surface. References to the family hamster combined with Alain’s…

    What Is The Tone Of My Last Duchess

    Through analyzing “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning with a formalistic approach, the reader will be able to understand the internal struggle the narrator was facing by the tone and the imagery of the poem. The way in which the narrator describes her interactions with other men carries a distinct jealousy and dissatisfaction throughout, as he consistently mentions that the power and wealth he provided for her was “somehow-I know not how-” received with the same level of gratitude as any other gift. His frustration builds throughout the poem, beginning with this dissatisfaction, followed up by his claim that by being equally courteous to all she was “stooping” down to the level of these lesser men, giving them the same smiles she gave him,…
