they are untouchable by death. Tony Marston in And Then There Were None, believes he is immortal but is proved wrong when he is the first to die. Prince Prospero in ¨The Masque of the Red Death,¨ although there is a widespread disease, throws a masquerade ball and believes his wealth will protect him from dying.

It was the last day of school and my friends and I were talking about how each of us would spend his holiday. My parents hadn’t yet told me where the family was going to spend our holiday but I assumed we were going to London due to the Olympic Games which was to occur that year. I boasted to my friends about how my parents had already bought plane tickets as well as tickets to view some of the events in the Olympics. When I got home that holiday, I had the biggest shock of my life. My parents…

Although, Lord Capulet, Juliet's father, makes awfully comical jokes during the masquerade in Act 1. Lord Capulet jokes that if the ladies refuse to dance, they must have corns on their feet. Shakespeare writes " Ah, my mistresses! Which of you all unplagued with corns will walk a bout with you — Will now deny to dance?" ( Act 1, scene 5) . Family friends and relatives of the Capulets all gather to this masquerade and then hear all of the humorous things lord Capulet has to say. Lord Capulet is…

of Romeo and Juliet, they are crucial to the play.

Saint-Phalle's personal choices of self-representation can provide an explanation for the exaggerated feminine form of the Nanas. Her decision to dress and act as a femme fatale in the media, using traditional dress codes imposed by men on women as a costume, is a revendication of her own ability to master her body and use these codes to liberate herself.
