Although Kate is one of Shakespeare's most enigmatic heroines, she is not the only complicated character in The Taming of the Shrew. Her groom, Petruchio, has nearly as much mystery surrounding him as does Kate herself. Yet exploring Petruchio forces us to ask questions that can become difficult largely because, frankly, we want to like him. In a sense, it's initially hard to explore a side of him which may, in fact, make him less likable. Is he a man of honor or a mercenary seeking only to…

Does Romeo and Juliet sound familiar? References of Romeo and Juliet are well-known throughout the world. It has been the inspiration for songs, movies, poems, stories, etc...

In “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” the theme is love. The story is mainly based on dialogues between two couples, Mel and Terresa, and Laura and Nick. While they talked a lot, at the end of the story, they did not come up with a clear definition of love. Through symbolisms and writing style used in the story, Carver examed how difficult to define love. Raymond Carver was a minimalist writer, whose stories were written in a sparse use of language and paired down prose (Brent). That…

“A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time. Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh.” In comedy, the only characteristic shared between comedies is their want to make people laugh, and it can be difficult to pull off such a seemingly simple task.
