African Americans in 20th century America. My interest in theatre’s extraordinary ability to allow theatrical artists to acknowledge the timeless stories of humanity represents a strong motif in my life. Advocating for those whose stories might be lost without theatrical resurrection – often accomplished by transposing an age-old story into modern terms. The theatrical arts have fostered personal excellence in time management, team work, public speaking, and frequent risk taking. Through…

In both the bible and Greek mythology, the first women to inhabit Earth are essentially viewed as the downfall of mankind due to their flawed characteristics of temptation and curiosity. While Eve was created to be the companion to Adam, Pandora was crafted to be Zeus' gift of destruction to mankind for Prometheus' constant disrespect towards the various Gods. As a result of the selfish acts made by both women, the overall tone of humanity had been severely altered due to the incorporation of…
What is horror? Horror is a type of extreme feeling of being afraid, disturbed and disgusted by something or a intense feeling of fear and shock. I believe that Frankenstein was written as a horror story, but when compared to all scary movies today by our standards today the movie is not really what we think as scary.

But of those seven which was gotten the worst rap. Pride. Pride was the first sin committed since the beginning of time. In the bible, it says that because of Lucifer’s lust for power God forced him down to Earth to rule in his very own kingdom, which is Hell. Because of this, he caused Adam and Eve to commit the very first sin…
Instead of a fiery portrayal as in the rest of the circles, the deepest stratum of hell is icy and frozen. In the Ninth Circle of Hell, the sinners are either murderers or traitors, and their punishment reflects their depravity. In Round 3 of the this Circle, the murderers/traitors of guests are encased in ice, all except for half their faces above the ice and their tears creating a frosty layer covering their eyes. These sinners are part of the frozen lake, Cocytus, because their act of…

How would you feel if you were rejected by everyone then promised a companion only to have to watch your companion be destroyed? When Frankenstein destroys the female monster he does it right in front of his original creation, the very thing he promised a companion to, imagine having to watch the person who gave you life destroy something you love. Victor made the wrong decision when he destroyed the monsters “wife” because of what he owes to the monster after what he put the monster through.…
