Act two, scene five of Shakespeare's comedic play, Twelfth Night, demonstrates how the insidious Maria, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew execute their brilliant plan to fool and deceive Malvolio. The 1996 Hollywood film and the Globe theatre’s performance were both unprecedented and unique reenactments of the scene that are greatly venerable. Each of the representations can be prominent because of the variety of their actors, specifically Malvolio. Both of the versions had different intakes on the…

The play “A Midsummer Night's Dream” maybe was not the greatest comedy written by Shakespeare, but it was certainly an important piece of work to him as the drama was performed originally before the English noble audiences, including Queen Elizabeth I. In this play, Shakespeare boldly included abundant inappropriate contexts towards the queen, the newlyweds and as well as the entire upper-class audiences. This could be the reasons why he decided to end the play with an apology. As the most…

All the scenes in the play were short and barely any characters were called by name. They also did not go in order of the pamphlet that spells “Shakespeare.” Throughout my paper, I try to describe each scene to the best of my ability with the info of which play they are acting out or about just the scenes in general. The beginning of the play began with people cleaning up the stage with brooms. The three people were slouched over sweeping close together. This showed medium topography and close…

One of the most interesting characters in Shakespeare's famous play Romeo and Juliet is Mercutio. We never know what he looks like on the outside, but his character traits are vivid, like a bouquet of flowers. Mercutio is Romeo’s good friend, they share life, stories and thought together. Shakespeare created Mercutio in direct opposition to Romeo, the main character. Even though Mercutio's life in the play is very short his appearance dominates the dialogue and the action whenever he appears in…
