Comedy of manners

Mechanics: West of Loathing is a unique mix between a point and click adventure and a turn based action rpg. Though you do have the ability to walk around the game using W,A,S,D I would use point and click to walk around find objects. The developers have a bag type system that is pretty good. Every item can be shown to you in a long list or you can sort every item down to make it more manageable. It seems as though whenever you want to leave a scene you walk off screen to the left. This is neat…

The goal of the humorists is to bring laughter and happiness to the audiences while delivering news to the society. Humorists do not hesitate to deliver their messages even if the messages are dangerous or impossible to state directly. Moreover, they are essential and powerful as the messages they conveyed can influence the viewpoint of the audiences towards particular issue. Thus, in his 2004 book Status Anxiety, Alain de Botton argues that humorists are vital to the society. However, from…

It's understandable why many were offended by the Charlie Hebdo cartoon depicting Aylan as a future sex offender. However as a student of satire, I'm always suspect when it(satire) doesn't offend. Firstly, it is impossible to not offend someone just given the sheer number of people on earth connected through social media which specializes in bring together into the arena of the private screen, diverse ways of thinking and ideologies in real time. Secondly before we go into the issues let's…

Once the story of Belle Gibson was released to the public, I was hooked on the idea of what it could become if it was used as the base of a story. The Australian’s article on the Belle Gibson story provided a strong stimulus, as it discussed the tales of her so-called terminal illness. What made the article interesting in my opinion was Gibson’s reasoning to why she lied about her terminal illness, and how it lead to a lot of drama amongst people. It occurred to me that the same situation could…

The stories shared are really heartbreaking to watch and the whole film has an exceptionally solemn, depressing and cold feel to it. Some have condemned it for demonstrating redemption yet I think that views truly overlooks the main issue here. All things considered, life needs to go ahead after such traumatic occasions and I think Herzog is essentially demonstrating the effect of one's actions and what life will resemble attempting to move past it. The stories are all to a great degree…

When reading this play at first I really didn’t understand the humor in reading it. After watching the clips everything clicked with me. I really had to get a visual of what the play was to understand it. Now I have a clear understanding that in this play had a lot of satire in it. This whole play had satire from Get on Board, The Hairpiece and The Last Mama on the couch. They took serious issues in the African American culture and made it funny, but it’s something that African Americans dealt…

The show “Brain Candy Live!” by Adam Savage, from Mythbusters, and Michael Stevens, youtube channel Vsauce, shows how much theatre adapts to culture. Theatre can be described as live performances in which the action is precisely planned to create a coherent and significant sense of drama (Fraser 1). Now, “Brain Candy Live!” is not a typical theatrical production and can only be described as science theatre where it essentially follows the plot of one big science experiment. In the show, Adam…

Out of enjoyment, I prefered the play over the other media’s. Unlike the script and the movie the play was actually funny. As the play was moving at good speeds the script was too slow moving. There was also too much touching in the movie which made it uncomfortable to watch. Overall, the play was the best production of Midsummer Night’s Dream. There is a play, script, and a movie for Midsummer Night’s Dream but ultimately the play was the most enjoyable. First off, unlike the script and the…

the plot depends upon a skillfully exploited situation rather than upon the development of character (Dictionary.com). In this work, Martin uses multiple different types of comedy, such as screwball, highbrow and self-referential comedy, which makes the play a farce. Farcical comedies go hand in hand with screwball comedies; a style of comedic theatre dealing with exaggerated characterizations as well as unlikely situations (Nichol). There are many…
