butterfly, it is crucial to be cautious of whom you trust. Shakespeare explores the idea of self-perception in his play “Othello”, the idea of how the opinions and views of others affect one's identity and how they reconcile the conflict between illusion and reality. Othello’s self-perception changes throughout the play,…

the Gospel of Peter. It teaches that Jesus’ physical body was an illusion, as was his crucifixion; that is, Jesus only seemed to have a physical body and to physically die, but in reality he was unreal, a pure spirit, and hence could not physically die. This would deny the actual saving power of the cross and resurrection. The explanation included that matter is imperfect, so a perfect God couldn’t become flesh. Jesus was an illusion; God caused people to perceive him as a man so they could…

the first illusion is that urban planners, urban designers, and architects are the main agencies shaping the urban space. so we see such wide spread criticism of these professionals for the post-war urban development schemes and their perceived failures. another illusion to be challenged is that the developers -or clients in architectural language- are those who make the main decisions and the role of designers is merely to provide 'packaging' for these decisions. Due to this illusion, we see…

Night’s Dream and Othello, the nature of love is communicated in two different ways. The first way is that love is a random, irrational, and blind power that individuals will risk everything to hold onto. The second interpretation is that love is an illusion; it is not everlasting or unstoppable. These two interpretations of the nature of love are very similar in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and in Othello. The key act shows the resemblances between the two dramas on the opinions of love as being…

Williams does this to illustrate the flaws of human nature. By ending the story at the Climax or Scene 10, major aspects would be left out and major questions would be unanswered. The play is surrounded around Blanche. It is about her journey with illusion overall. Scene 11 is necessary for closure, and for an idea on “what happens…

help me; do thy best to pluck this crawling serpent from my breast. Ay me, for pity! What a dream was here! Lysander, look how I do quake with fear. Methought a serpent eat my heart away, And you sat smiling at his cruel prey” (2.2.152-157). The illusion of Hermia’s dream creates strife and tension between herself and Helena; ruining years of friendship. However, Lysander is the one renouncing his love for Hermia, and is ultimately to blame. Overthrown and driven by emotions, Hermia relies on…

Introduction On September 2, 1885, a league of bitter white coal miners and their families took guns and axes to attack the local Chinatown, the immigrant workers living there defenseless as they were celebrating a homeland holiday. An estimated over thirty men killed, many more injured, the five hundred Chinese living there fled from the Union Pacific Railroad, where they worked for far lower wages than their white peers in hopes of gathering enough fortune to provide for their families back…

astonished on how large the artwork was in person, compared to images that I’ve seen online. The photographs do not give the artwork justice when it comes to scale. The artwork is of a crooked, misshapen ladder that gets thinner as you go up to create an illusion of the ladder being taller than it actually is. Though…

and those without were left in the shadows.“The Butter Battle” focuses on a society that was pitted against each other because of the side of toast that they ate their butter on. Dr. Seuss argues that the illusion of power, evils of racism, and segregation lead to hatred and war. The illusion of power is shown in “The Sneetches” when the plain-bellied Sneetches believed that the star-bellied Sneetches were more worthy of happiness than they were, just because the star-bellied Sneetches thought…

elements of mise-en-scene. This scene is indeed a perfect example of how the mise-en-scene can be creatively used to deliver a thorough meaning of the film to the audience. The use of this element of the film is to express the theme of reality vs illusion. Therefore, the use of mise-en-scene succeeded in bringing about the important aspects of the film and major…
