    The Return Of Martin Guerre Analysis

    Instead of sticking to the historical record, the film applied a nineteenth century conception of Romance to Bertrande’s relationship with the imposter she believed was her husband. This also acted as contrary to the legal vulnerability that Bertrande faced as a woman in the sixteenth century. Her focus had to be a peaceable marriage, taking maximum precautions to avoid accusations of adultery on one hand and a threat to her life and the life of her child on the other. Vigne may have thought that to represent the shifting weight of the charisma and initiative towards the fake Martin and the actual historical context would make the plot too complex. Consequently, the film positioned a sixteenth-century account where Bertrande supported her husband until it was too late, rather than adopting her historical strategy of self-protection from…

    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.…

    In line 45-47 of My Last Duchess the author revealed to use that the Duke is crazy, jealous, and selfish. Firstly, the author shows us that the Duke is crazy because he said “Then all smiles stopped together.” The author could have been inferring to us that base on the words of the Duke that he could have possibly kill or send the Duchess to a mental facility because in this era it was common for this like that to happen and by doing that he won’t have to see her smile towards anyone else ever again. This is how the author revealed to us that the Duke is crazy in My Last Duchess.…

    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…

    Gregory In Romeo And Juliet

    In the opening scene of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Gregory and Sampson of the Capulet House are belittling the Montagues with jokes on how Sampson would take their “maidenheads” and push the men from the wall. Sampson is the one leading the conversation and remarks about the Montagues, while Gregory is elaborating on with him. Gregory asks questions such as, “Their maiden-heads?” when Sampson jests about it. This shows a dynamic between the two friends with the innocence in Gregory and the bluntness of Sampson.…

    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,…

    Donoghue

    Introduction The case of M’Alister (or Donoghue) v Stevenson , a dispute originally arising in Scotland by an action brought in the Court of Session and finally heard in the House of Lords (‘UKHL’), was the landmark case in separating the law of tort from the law of contract.
