If the second rich generation’s father and poor boy’s father has the same expectations to them, how their lives will be? In the article “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller describes the mean character is Willy who has more than 30 years selling experience and dominated by the “American Dream”, he blindly estimate his own abilities, and his fantasy fame is obtained by selling goods, so that he used to boast, lies a load point of view, until he died. And in the article “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”…

Realism is a literary portrayal of the lives of people without sentimentalization. Naturalism naturally grew out of realism. Accordingly, “Like the Realist writers... they often focused on the working class and the poor, presenting the futile battles of individuals against a brutal society or an indifferent universe"(Glencoe, 476). Realism is more mundane than naturalism and though people may die it generally is not at the hands of Father Nature. This foundation having been laid let the reader…

“The Death of a Salesman” perfectly represents how our expectations can be the death of us. Biff, who is the son of Willy, depicts freedom and light as he reminds his father that money doesn’t define him, though Willy is isolated and a prisoner to his dark and twisted mind. “The Death of a Salesman” parallels “Allegory of a Cave” because it expands on the idea of being chained to see a shadow or a tiny glimpse of a bigger picture. Just like in the cave, Willy symbolizes the prisoners;…

In the story of “Death of a Salesman,” the main character, Willy Loman, almost refuses to place himself in the realities of life. He does not want to face that he is a small cog in the machine of life. In other words, self-awareness is not our main character’s strong suit. He does not recognize that, within his profession, he is just another on-the-road salesman who is at the top of his game one week and in the cellar the next. Additionally, he does not recognize that his family (which…

Ajax among others.(PAGINA DE DONDE LO SAQUE) The last main character is Euripides (406-480 A.C). He would mostly focus on painting dramas of real life situations; the problems and passions that would agitate the contemporaries Athenians would be shown through his actors that would perform different…

tragedies, characterized by the downfall of the main character. Shakespeare, a renowned playwright, has written his fair share of plays in this genre, including the famous Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. However, tragedy has its roots in Ancient Greek dramas, including Oedipus Rex, written by Sophocles. As expected, Oedipus, the protagonist, is seen at the beginning at the height of his power, and is revealed to have fallen drastically by the conclusion of the play. Oedipus is a tragic hero because…

People for centuries have held on to Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero. Many authors cling to this idea that a tragic hero must be of noble birth or royalty making it rare to see a tragic hero be anything but high-born. In his play, The Crucible, Arthur Miller defies the rules of this interpretation of a tragic hero and forms his own modified version. Miller takes the Aristotelian idea and changes it so the hero is not royalty but just a regular man. This man can be identified as John…

Appearances of Theatre vs. Reality Off Stage The philosophical author, Shakespeare, is well known for creating plays that make the audience take a different look on life. Composed circa seventeenth century anno domini; Macbeth and Hamlet are two plays with indistinguishable themes.These two intricate tragedies define Shakespeare’s work beautifully. In Macbeth, three witches, a ghost, and patriot corrupt a kinsman; changing the way he behaves. In Hamlet, a ghost, a mousetrap, and a skull give a…

Reading the assignments from the Elizabethan Era brought me great joy, mainly due to the fact that Shakespeare just makes me happy; I think this is actually the case with many people, they just don’t know it. My love of Shakespeare and his plays grew exponentially in high school when I had a teacher who brought her love for him into the classroom and opened our eyes to how modern he really is. This love reached all new heights when I traveled to London and saw Shakespeare Reduced performed live…
