Hamnet Shakespeare

Change does not always have to be chased. In fact, change can happen without purpose or without realization, slipping under one's nose until it is too late, and the change has already happened. Small changes, preferences in music and movies, the way one wears their hair, the mannerisms in which they speak, these can all occur without realizing they have. "The bottom line is, time is a powerful force. It transforms our preferences. It reshapes our values. It alters our personalities. We seem to…

Prince Hans, voiced by Santino Fontana, was introduced as Anna’s love interest, but later revealed to be the villain. I heard a theory that Hans was based off the mirror in “The Snow Queen,” and there is a little bit of evidence to support this. His personality and motivations are constantly changing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSLv9cYOA6M He’s upbeat and awkward when he’s with Anna, he’s quiet when he’s with Elsa, he throws his weight around when he’s with the diplomats, and he even shows…

Midterm Assignment – Dojoji (Noh) For my assignment I have chosen to analyse the second act of the Noh play Dojoji, author unknown, translated by Donald Keane. The common and recurring themes of Noh, gender and religion, are hugely prevalent in this piece, and my selected section of the play illustrates this well. Noh, derived from the Sino-Japanese word for “skill” or “talent” is the oldest form of major theatre art still regularly performed today. Popular performance modes of the 10th and…

John Singer always put his hand on his friend’s arm and looked for a second into his face before leaving him. Because McCullers was the prisoner of the grotesque, she chooses for her fictional world people with the misfits, the ugly and the abnormal. When Singer and Antonopoulos are together Singer would eagerly talk gesticulating with his hands about all that is moving in his mind and Antonopoulos would recline on bed, placid and indolent. He seldom moves his hands to speak and when he does it…

Narayan’s ironic vision of life has endowed him with considerable mastery of irony in its diverse forms. The passage in The Guide, which describes the star-lawyer in an ever interesting and memorable manner offers us superb instances of ‘irony of simple incongruity’ which lies in juxtaposing incongruous or incompatible details (D. C. Muecke, p. 6)7. The veteran lawyer described herein had ‘saved many a neck from the nose’, ‘absolved many a public swindler’ and could ‘prove a whole gang of…

The reminiscing downfall of the insecure salesman and his misguided perception of success leads him to fail within the success driven environment that he is to be surrounded in. Within the play of “ death of a salesman” written by Arthur Miller the author asserts the main character Willy Loman main flaw being insecurity demonstrated in his boastful behavior claiming he is rather a “vital” necessity in New England. As well as he self praises himself in boasting that he indeed has expanded the…

Behind the Smiles are the Tears Everyone knows at least one person who frequently uses self-deprecating humor. People respond with laughter, and it passes for a nice joke, but there is true pain hiding behind the joker's smile. This can become offensive if someone other than that one person speaks about an insecurity they have. The side effect being, possibly, depression which could lead to self-harm. It is important to note that Cyrano’s character is displayed as a well-known poet and cadet who…

insecurities are so close to the surface that a few words of hint and innuendo can tear the confident exterior and expose his fears, desires, and tendency to violence. Therefore, ‘the tragedy may fairly be said to be Othello’s character in action’. Shakespeare has built the complex character of Iago from an idea already existing in the theatrical culture of his time: the Devil in religious morality plays, which developed into the villain in Elizabethan tragedy. Indeed, if you carefully inspect…

While both writings of “ Master Harold” ...and the boys, and Elie Wiesel’s Nobel Lecture included hope,despair ,and memory , it came clear to me that this was true. “Master Harold” and the boys had despair when it came up between Hally and Sam . Hally became unfair and rude towards Sam , when all Sam was doing was speaking the truth. Although Hally had troubles in his family,but he did not have to take it out on Sam. Elie Wiesel’s Nobel Lecture talks about how memory is a gift and…
