The Occult Philosophy: The Influence of Cornelius Agrippa on Marlowe’s Writings The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus is perhaps the most infamous work written by Christopher Marlowe. Inquiring in a variety of topics ranging from the supernatural, wisdom and a man’s ambition for wealth and power, Marlowe introduces the character of Doctor Faustus whose increasing weariness of basic knowledge leads him to make life-changing decisions. Faustus’s deviations commence…

Not many of Shakespeare’s plays contain a female character in the lead role position. Therefore, when female characters have a prominent role in plays it is something to pay attention to. For instance, in Measure for Measure, Isabella’s character serves to break down the patriarchy by using their own constructs to emphasize how outrageous their ideas are. Isabella does this by falling into one of the three categories that the patriarchy says women belong to. In this society, women are either…

Secondly, another deeply credited theory is the belief that Earhart and co-pilot Noonan were ‘Nikumaroro Castaway’s.’ It is speculated both pilots touched down on a remote South Pacific Island called Nikumaroro – now commonly known as Gardner Island. The belief stands that the Electra was running low on fuel implementing fear within the pilots as they began searching for a safe destination to refuel (Howland Island.)

Peter and the Starcatcher is an exhilarating and adventurous story that tells the tale of the well known free-spirited boy, Peter Pan’s backstory. Peter and the Starcatcher is based on the 2004 novel written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, which was fashioned into a play by Rick Elice. I had an exceptional experience of seeing the play on March 29, at 9:30, adapted by director, Kerry Bishop on the A.B Lucas Secondary School stage. This play certainly catches the whimsical and wonderful essence…

A Good Man is Hard to Find A Good Man is Hard to Find, is a short story written by Mary Flannery O’Connor, but she didn’t use her first name Mary. She was a writer of short stories and novels and her writings were filled with dark comedy and violence, usually mixed with moral and theological backgrounds.

Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet depicts the lives of two lovers and the events of their lives as they hide their love from their parents. Although written centuries ago, it is still relevant in today’s society. The characters Romeo and Juliet are similar to today's adolescents. Their personalities, attitudes, and emotions mimic those of teenagers today. But their range of emotions and issues are relatable to people of any age, gender or background. This is one of many reasons why the story…

4. MACBETH In this chapter, I will elaborate on Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy Macbeth. This is one of my favorite tragedies since it is about the psychological effects of ambition on those who strive for power for its own sake. “In the play Shakespeare depicts the tragedy of a man torn between an amoral will and a powerfully moral intellect. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a study of the evil that is in every human heart and of one man’s downfall as he willfully gives way to its temptations”.…

good times but they eventually see what they were hiding from each other for so long and they accept what they have decided. The theme of the play Oklahoma would have been love, this is because the two main characters in the story Curly and Laurey Williams pretend that they don’t like each other at all they try to outsmart each other every time they talk about each other when they both together trying to sound like they don’t care about each other’s feelings and that they wouldn’t care less…
