Irrationality in Love in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream Love is a central motif in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream, as evidenced by the actions and agency of the main characters in the play. According to Hutton (290), many critics feel that Shakespeare offers the audience a choice between the rational and irrational. The theme of love brings out this choice capably, as demonstrated by the perception that rational love triumphs over irrational love, as the young lovers settle for…

Representations of non-dominant identities in broadcast television have been on the rise in recent years. Along with these increased representations, comes the careful navigation of avoiding inaccuracies and making generalizations, sitcoms are no exception to this. Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Parks and Recreation are the product of showrunner and co-creator Mike Schur (Evans). These two shows do exceptionally well with the inclusion of diverse cast members and main characters, they reflect how…

Is it the shock factor, something interesting or is it just so horrifying you have to read it? Today one of the most controversial topics flooding the news is gun violence and gun control.

H is for Halloween Dance The Halloween Dance was one of the best Dances I have ever went to. The Halloween Dance was a dance celebrated on the last weekend of October on Friday. You got to wear a costume to the dance, but the costume couldn't be bloody, it couldn't bring fake weapons or real, and you also couldn't wear a mask. Before the dance, if you are in SAC (a meeting for students and staff only), then you work there, but you can still dance. You can get in for free, but you got to get a…

Writing in someone else 's style is infinitely more difficult than simply writing as yourself. After all, a style of writing represents that author 's thought process, and it is quite difficult to get into the heads of others. In addition, we had to replicate the style of not one, but two very characteristic writers with very different styles and visions for their work. Changing mindsets was slightly difficult; just when I became accustomed to Kaysen 's style, I had to finish with her and…

An unknown author once said, “Some people create their own storms, then get upset when it rains.” Irony can be seen in three different ways, which include dramatic, verbal, and situational irony. Verbal irony is when the opposite of what is meant, is said. Dramatic irony is when the audience or some characters know something that others don’t. Situational irony is when when the opposite of what you expect to happen, happens. During the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hermia and Lysander were in…

In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, William Shakespeare makes effective use of scenery to illustrate the recurring themes and motifs expressed throughout his play. The two biggest contrasts employed within this literary work are those of Athens and the forest. Athens, during the day, expresses the rationality and stability that is not seen elsewhere expressed throughout “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. On the other hand, the forest, especially at night, expresses the more mystical and magical side of…

Throughout the semester we have learned about all the different ways that the welfare can provide assistance to families who are in need. Nevertheless, we have also learned and saw in various ways, the struggles and obstacles families face in order to get what they need to get back up on their feet. George Tillman and John Q are two men who prove that struggling to get what you need from the welfare system is worth the success in the end. However, I personally do not believe people should…

Edgar Wright is a really great director who knows how to make people laugh. He is known for his Comedic Cornetto Trilogy, and the movies I will be talking about are “Shaun of the Dead”, and “Hot Fuzz” are the two of them. The scenes display the kind of style he uses in the films, and by using film techniques it helps show the style by how effective it is. Techniques such as music, sound effects, camera work e.g close ups, mid shots, and characters. Wright uses these techniques to grab people’s…
