Characters in plays

On October 6, 2015 I did something I was very apprehensive about, I performed a play called, Dorothy and Alice with my classmate Alex in front of all my peers. In this whimsical play I portrayed a curious and down-to-earth girl named, Alice, while my partner, Alex portrayed a timid and modest girl named, Dorothy. The dramatic comedy, Dorothy and Alice discreetly joins two diverse worlds and teaches an awe-inspiring lesson. It was intriguing to read the script, memorize it, and perform it…

after school musical practice finally started. Exhausted after class, I grudgingly sat down around the piano while I waited to the music to start and practice to begin. At 3 o’clock we began to learn our required songs for our audition. Our school play is the Wizard of Oz and I decided that I wanted to audition for Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Good Witch. I was fully expecting Dorothy’s notes in her song “Over the Rainbow” to be a little high for me since I am an alto, and she is a soprano, but…

better at the game along the way. And that these new found experiences they gained together are then expressed in the gameplay shown to everyone when the tournament is broadcasted/streamed to the world. This is where the captivating charm comes into play, when people who’ve never played the game…

George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion follows the life of Eliza Doolittle, a common flower girl of the 20th century, and the sequence of events following her encounter with Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering. As a professor of phonetics, Higgins believes he can use his extensive knowledge of speech and personal experience to guide Eliza on a pathway to sophistication. In relation, She’s All That, a 1999 American film, revolves around Zack Siler and his spontaneous bet with a fellow classmate…

In the play, Blanche seems to be the most desperate character. In the beginning, she is described as beautiful, proper, and aging southern belle that is moving to New Orleans. After a personal and financial downfall, she is seeking to start a new and better life with her younger sister, Stella, and her husband, Stanley. Her character seems emotionally lost throughout the whole play. She is unable to escape her past and is constantly fighting with herself on what is reality and the truth. Despite…

conforms to the game and becomes a phony or does not play the game and suffers unfairly. Holden hates phonies, even though he himself is a phony. Stradlater, Holden 's roommate at Pencey Prep, is an example of a phony who participates in the game. Holden abhors Stradlater and thinks it is unfair how because he can play the game he gets unlimited rewards. Similar to Holden,…

He is filled with negative emotions, such as jealousy, discontentment, resentment, etc. His character is greatly summed up by this precise quote. Don John views his cheer and his brother’s cheer as two separate sides of a see-saw; one must go down for the other to go up. He sees himself as a prisoner in a sort of cage, which has been mentioned previously…

an important theme in Much Ado About Nothing. The characters in this play often have their pride wounded, each in different ways. Benedick and Beatrice are moved to fall in love with each other when they are accused of being too prideful. Claudio’s pride is wounded when he almost marries a woman that he believes to be disloyal. Hero and Leonato’s pride is extremely damaged when Hero is publicly shamed by Claudio. The pride in these characters either brings together relationships or tears…

In my diary entry, I chose to write a letter from Biff to Willy. These are the characters of the Death of a Salesman by the author, Arthur Miller. I did this to show how Biff felt about his’s and his father’s belief. From what I have read in the play, it seems to me that Biff was living in an unhappy and unsuitable life in New York. As the author states in the book, Biff had tried to do whatever he can to please his dad, not because he was interested in the job. It seemed possible to me to put…

Although the stories of Macbeth and Willie seem strikingly different after having first read them, they do have a major theme that is important to both stories. The question of both the main characters’ sanity seems to come up in the two plays. Both Willie and Macbeth started out as seemingly sane people. As the time went on though, their passions and dreams became stronger and they appeared to have changed for the worst. Throughout the story, “Death of a Salesman” the reader is told about…
