Dangerous Liaisons

Les Liaisons Dangereuses Scene Analysis I am playing La Marquise de Merteuil in Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Christopher Hampton. She is a very interesting women to get to dig into for this scene. The play is based in 1780s France, this scene takes place October 1st. Merteuil is a well respected women who when her husband dies was left with vast wealth that she is able to use to entertain herself, if you will. She was married for a rather short time, she says in one line that when she began to tire of her husband, he very graciously died. She is quite ahead of her time. I picture her in current time running some company as the CEO in power suits while still breaking some hearts. However, in Paris, 1780, that wasn’t a woman’s place in society. Because of this, she takes to using her body and mind to play with people’s lives and innocence for her amusement. She is quite good at it. In this scene, Merteuil is meeting with Cecile, after her right hand man, Valmont, has executed their plan of sleeping with Cecile. Cecile is looking for a confidant, Merteuil however, is interested in hearing the fallout from this ruse she has created for her amusement and for that hint of revenge on Gergourt. Merteuil continues with the charade throughout the scene, hiding the fact that she had anything to do with the events…

harming the victim even more. I have seen this in the form of a girl, eight years old at the time, who had gone through multiple sexual assaults. But the people she told about the molestation had done nothing about it out of respect for the girl and her family 's privacy. By choosing to "respect" this little girl 's privacy the people she told ended up harming her even more and allowed her molester to continue. As the years passed and the molestation became more known people started to speak up,…

The words “pizza taxi” may seem totally random to you, but to me and two of my best friends, Dani and Jaime, it’s a symbol of our crazy, unpredictable friendship. In the novel, How to be Bad, the three main characters, Jesse, Vicks, and Mel, resemble us in many ways; fears, personalities, beliefs, and relationships. My friends and the book crew of girls are perfect examples of how opposites attract. The resemblances start with Jaime, and Jesse being an uptight, thoughtful, “Christian Pants”,…

In my story, Small World, I create temporal complexity through the emotions of the main character and the dates of the letters written. For example, “I know what I’ve signed up for but its kids like him that break my heart and raise questions about this war were fighting.” (Winmill 1). Dr. Bones writes all of his worries down in his journal. He is very concerned if he is doing the right thing or not or if he should be doing something else. Literary critic, Janet Gurkin Altman, argues about…

Throughout much of the film Dangerous Minds, urban students are portrayed in a negative manner. The film starts out by showing the neighborhood as poor, there is graffiti on most of the buildings nearby, and the high school is very run down. (Bruckheimer & Smith, 1995) This setting represents a stereotype of urban schools that is all too often depicted in films. Urban schools are portrayed as “graffiti-ridden, dilapidated buildings with welfare students of color who are vandals and thieves.”…
