“The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams is an example of a classic tragedy. However, the characters in the drama do not encounter death. The characters encounter family instability, abandonment, and resentment. The title of this drama accurately represents these characters.

Yet, “The Glass Menagerie” could…

very small glass slippers. They were dazzling, and shimmering in the moonlight. Cinderella hopping onto the carriage and they went on their way to the castle. She was smiling the whole way there, as excited as ever. The castle was exquisite, the turrets were sparkling like someone had poured a box of glitter on them. The lights were the brightest they had ever been, and Cinderella was filled with hope that one day she would get to leave the clutches of the Stepmother. Maybe the Prince would…

His grandfather…

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study Poetry is one of genres in literature. When we try to define it, we will find out that poetry, just like love, is not something easy to be defined. Laurence Perrine in “Sounds and Sense: An Introduction to Poetry” (1969:3) defines poetry as a kind of language that says more and says it more intensely than does ordinary language. From that definition, we can say that poetry contains a complexity of human’s feeling and mind. In order to…

I’d visited Lewes once before. Bonfire Night, 2002, aged 4, ears stuffed with cotton wool and potential pyromania growing within. From that, one can understand my intrigue when it was described as “a genteel town” by David James Smith for The Sunday Times - quite the opposite to how I’d perceived it! I had to see it to believe it. I travelled by bus from the nearby city of Brighton and Hove, to enter Lewes like a local. Trying to look sophisticated, in the sea of briefcase gripping…
