Another important aspect of the first wave critic’s view of non-oppositional resistance is the idea of colonial ‘hybridity’. Bhabha presents ‘hybridity’ as a reimagining of a term that previously had been used to “imply that different races were different species” and instead argues for a new imagining of ‘hybridity’: a production of ambivalence and the means through which the colonise may defy their subjugation. He proposes that hybridity can therefore be seen as a form of non-oppositional…

On June 29, 1613, during Shakespeare's play, Henry V, a cannon was used to add flair to the arrival of King Henry; however, the outcome was not a dignified entrance. The special effect resulted in a grand exit. The wadding, cloth put inside the cannon, was fired out of the cannon. It landed on the roof and ignited a fire which burnt down the famous Globe Theatre (Allison 68). Most special effects used during the Elizabethan Era did not cause any destruction; therefore, stage crews felt…

Tolkien seemed to be drawn into writing about the same romanticized notions as that of Beowulf;…
