Southern Values in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof "The weight of Southern history, the power of social and racial divisions and its rituals and taboos often make self-determination and moral choice unachievable" (King). This statement from Kimball King perfectly summarizes the point Tennessee Williams strove to exemplify in many of his works. Thomas Lanier Williams, better known as Tennessee Williams, was born on March 26, 1911 in Columbus Mississippi. He spent the first seven years of his life in…

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Plot Summary (1958) It’s 1958 Mississippi, where the white man stills holds more power than the blacks, (which is still modern day Mississippi). We meet our first main character named Brick Pollitt, played by Paul Newman. A former high school football star, he spends a night at his football field, trying to relive his glory days while getting completely wasted. Yeah, when you are depressed, go to the sight of your depression with tons of beer. He falls and breaks his…

I would love to direct is Next to Normal, a musical by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt. It follows a family as they navigate through the mother’s struggle with bipolar disorder and depicts the various ways mental health affects us all, directly or indirectly. I am attracted to this piece for several reasons, the main one being how each character reacts and approaches their mental health. If I were to direct this piece I would use Gabe as a manifestation of mental illness and use his interactions with…

Option #1 is an adaptation of the story of a man fishing on a beach when approached by a businessman. This businessman is trying to convert the fisherman’s love of fishing into a business that would be all consuming; preventing him from his passion of beach fishing and spending time with his family. After a considerable amount of time and energy spent fishing from the beach, the man would, once again, have the financial ability to retire and fish on the beach “without any worries” and spend time…

If you’re not familiar with Hot Chip, let me introduce you: Hot Chip is a synth-driven, pop-fantastic, disco fancy, funk-rock, dancey, sentimental, sassy, experimental anomaly from London. They make original music that doesn’t always make musical sense—by that I don’t mean it’s hard to digest because most of it is enjoyable to listen to. However, they offer melodies, sounds and chord progressions that keep the listener interested and often thinking, “I didn’t expect that.” Their sound is their…

Modern Post-Grunge is very different from the previous, heavier sounding Grunge despite sharing many common characteristics. The differences really started to come from a select few of major artists, who in turn made it blow up into a great genre of music. The one who is my personal favorite would have to be Breaking Benjamin. They were quick to become successful due to their impressive sound. Breaking Benjamin is known for being dynamically loud, having a low pitch, a dark and heavy tone, and…

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Elia Kazan created a film adaptation in 1958 of Tennessee Williams’s original play titled Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. This film overall offers an expanded role for Big Daddy, and one scene in particular that clearly shows this extended role is the basement scene (interpolated just for the film), that proves to be very incongruent with Williams’s thoughts on the topics of homosexuality, communication, and narcissism seen throughout his play. Homosexuality, a topic evident in…

In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Brick reflects Williams’ a broken man who cannot proclaim the longing in his relationship with his dead friend Skipper. Sexual identity was something Williams wrestled with in his life and can be seen in this play (Lovelady). Being homosexual…

I sat there, in the deep snow, drawing my sound map. My eyes were closed, using my every ounce of strength to listen for even the smallest sounds. The whispering trees melodic wind, the creaking ice which covered so much of the winding river that ran through the riparian area on my map. When I was done, I laid down, acknowledging nature 's picturesque sky and landscape. The beautiful baby blue sky enveloped me with it’s gentle appeal while the tops of Aspen trees forced it’s barren branches into…
