to go inside. He did not think that his day could get any worse... Unfortunately, his troubles were only just beginning. As Marcus turned the key and pushed open the door, his whole world was turned upside down. (Act out Marcus entering flat) Monologue: Mum! This is surreal, I cannot believe that she has finally done it. It’s as if an intense wave of panic is washing over me and my heart is beating at lightning speed; look at her. Mum is half on and half off the sofa. Her skin is deathly…

Slight Defects The “Glass Menagerie” is a play about memory, specifically the memories of the author Tennessee Williams himself. This play is meant to be biographical, but also is, at times, grossly unrealistic. That was Williams’ intention, however, to give the play a mortifying demeanor. This play is with hidden ulterior meanings as well as glimpses into the true life of Tennessee Williams. The play features Tom Wingfield, the main character and narrator of the play, Laura Wingfield, his…

the feminist movement at the time, feminist theory influenced his writing. The title of the poem, Porphyria’s lover, provides a unique perspective for a feminist interpretation with the focus of the poem on a female protagonist when most dramatic monologues at the time this was written focused on males. In the beginning of this poem, the female character is active and the male narrator is passive. Browning changes the role of the male power which is ultimately given to the female character.…

Jemie continues to explain that by stopping, one is simply just giving up, disregarding all of Hughes warnings that are displayed in "Mother to Son." According to the Nigerian scholar, it can also be interpreted that by stopping and admitting defeat, an African American youth is subject to becoming a prostitute or a street hustler. The mother knew the consequences of stopping on her journey, so she decided to continue to climb. She did not have an easy time on her journey, but she was ultimately…

different authors, like our literature book (hymnal as Mr. McGee calls it). This is the Anglo-Saxon Anthology of poetry. There are three poems in this Exeter book, consisting of The Seafarer, The Wanderer, and The Wife’s Lament. These poems are dramatic monologues, which means there is only one speaker and he/she is talking to someone. Interesting fact, in Anglo-Saxon time period women didn’t have any power, but in this Exeter book one of the poems has a female speaker. With that said, that is…

The film chosen is “Insidious 3”, a film that many of us have watch. Directed and written by Leigh Whannell. This film develops a linear narrative structure where the director tries to implement two completely different emotions to the viewer with Suspense. The anxiety brought on by a partial uncertainty as every typical horror creates “fear”. Also, the feeling of a young girl missing and trying to reach her mother who is dead. As the movie starts, the viewer probably already know what to…

The Absurd dramatists attempt to show the vivid reflection of the modern man and his bewilderment in their dramatic oeuvres by applying some specific elements. One of the fundamental themes of such drama is isolation. Absurdists mostly put their accusing finger on this weakness of man to prove his fragility of being alone. However, Absurd dramatists employ…

Presumably he is held captive by the role he had to play as a colonizer and acknowledges his wrongs before leaving. Shakespeare set out to inform his fellow Europeans of the truth that is the unspeakable crime of colonialism. He did just that. The dramatic use of the “other” helped his audiences to recognize the different meanings of civilized and monstrous, as well as showing that indigenous peoples were not neccesarily uncivilized, just…
