Masquerade ball

fun. They all believe that Death cannot touch them as the castle is bordered with iron gates. The presence of the masked body in the costume of the Red Death was something no one expected and created a scare in the hearts of the participants in the ball. The way the Red Death may have entered the castle despite of the barriers is still a question. This itself makes it very clear that there are no barriers or gates so strong that can let a person escape death. The ebony clock in the chamber which…

The masked figure is the embodiment of the plague as shown by the reactions of everybody attending the masquerade upon its arrival. The figure is even dressed in a ghostly and death-like way “...shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse…” The…

After Romeo and Juliet got married he went home and that’s when he saw Tybalt waiting for him at his house. Tybalt was waiting for him because Romeo and Benvolio went to the Capulet’s Masquerade Ball without an invite. “Mercutio, thou consortest with Romeo,”(3.1.44). This line is saying that Tybalt is looking for Romeo so he speaks with Mercutio to find out where Romeo might be. This is relevant because Tybalt and Mercutio both don’t know…

The Bloody Chamber is a novel filled with short stories. The short story I chose to read was the first story of the book, The Bloody Chamber. It is about a seventeen year old girl marries a rich old man and claims to have definite love and affection towards him. She notices the small flaws about him that make him seem almost dead such as his stone cold eyes. Though, she refused to leave him. Her mother expresses dissatisfaction at the marriage but does not tell her daughter not to go through…

have been weird for the characters walking down the streets with swords in the modern time of the movie, so I believe this detail fits well. Another difference is that the party at the Capulet house was more of a dress up party rather than the masquerade ball they have in the play. I think that some of these differences make both movie and play look like a joke and not a serious romance like Shakespeare most likely intended it to be. Romeo is one of the two main characters in Romeo and Juliet.…

success in the fashion industry. Worth designed dress from prominent figures from all around the world, who would frequently visit the House of Worth to design their morning, afternoon, evening dresses, tea gowns, nightgowns, wedding dresses, masquerade ball, and even stage costumes. I speculate Worth’s success to his competence of making his costumer feel special…

All of the evil of the hotel, which is possessing Jack, eventually fights with Danny. The Overlook is working through Jack to make Danny be obedient, and to not run away; Danny has to be "chastised" (Kubrick 1980). The young boy, however, has known that the hotel has been trying to know what he 's thinking, and he has been able to resist it 's attempts. Instead of referring to the hotel 's illusions as "pictures," as he formally did, Danny now calls them "false faces," which are fictitious. In…

Modern Feminism has various strands of thinking as different factions of criticism strive to explain the world. Gregory Castle says, “What all of these women have in common is an interest in exposing patriarchal forms of power as the cause of the unequal and subordinate status of women in Western societies” (96). In particular, Susan Gilbert and Susan Gubar comment on the characters women must assume in literature, offering the three roles of angel, witch, and, less common, ghost. These…
