Night People

because I am not a sad and lonely person. I deviated from the original to show my bright attitude. I used color to make the image bright and happy. I used lined to open the space to tell the audience I am an open person. I added happy people to represent the people in my life. I used colored pencils to draw my self-portrait. I choose to use colored pencils to show that…

What distinguishes Shakespeare from other playwrights of his time is his versatility. A Midsummer Night’s dream is Shakespeare’s first comedy, and overall play, that dwells into the realm of fantasy. As plots intertwine, so do different types of humor that are related through a wide array of comedic devices. The bard is in complete control of these devices and uses them to their fullest potential. The Athenian lovers’ plot is the "quintessential comedy of love" (Croce, 386) and subsequently, the…

The comic subplots in Shakepeare’s Twelfth Night and Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus function in the overall structures of the plays in many ways. Specifically, I argue that they parallel the main plot, emphasizing the theme of self-love that dominates the main plot. Within Twelfth Night, the emphasis that is placed on the theme of self-love is prominent from the moment the play begins. For example, it opens with the following speech by Orsino to himself: “If music be the food of love, play on/Give me…

Friday night and we stand under the twinkling stars. Every constellation visible, as far as the east is to the west. Sheer beauty that could only be captured by the human eye. The trees surround us and their limbs are strong and sturdy, reaching out to us in a warm embrace. The wind rustles the leaves, and gives me a cool rush down my spine.

The human personality is always changing, and to trust that a personality is stagnant tends to show ignorance. In William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” the fluidity of identity is revealed by the shifting characters and emotions throughout the play. However, two characters in the play parody the shallow nature of stagnancy. In the first act of the play, the reader meets Olivia, a wealthy noblewoman that is in mourning of her brother and father who have recently died. To each of her other…

an emotion that we have yet to see from Juliet, anger. Juliet refers to love as a monster for making her fall in love with an enemy. Juliet’s love for Romeo is so strong that the possibility of not being with him makes even one of the most timid of people burst out in…

Some humans, are in love with other people and others are just in love with the idea of love. In the play Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, depending on the characters and their attractions to another, love is simultaneously blind as well as clear. Viola is in love with Orsino even though Orsino is blind to her love because he thinks she is a young man. Duke Orsino has blind love for Olivia because he is in love with the idea of love.

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…
