I think one of the central points in Twelfth Night is to show that appearances aren’t really what they seem. Basically what Shakespeare’s construct expresses is that appearances can be deceptive in a way that we can understand. Deception in appearances is showed throughout Twelfth Night. The first is Olivia and Duke Orsino being deceived by Viola disguising as a male. An example of this is from the quote, “There is a fair behaviour in thee, captain; And though that nature with a beauteous wall…
The piece of art that I have painted depicts the sky during a colorful sunset, and also includes a silhouette of a carousel on the beach in the foreground of the work. The sunset in the painting is at the peak time in regards to the amount of colors that are scattered throughout the sky. I incorporated all of these ideas into my painting due to the fact that they present important concepts in regards to physics phenomena. The emission of light waves from the sun includes the visible light…

Twelfth night essay “If love be the food of music.. Play on!”- The Duke Orsino Some characters in Twelfth Night become witless due to romantic attractions. Twelfth Night goes to great lengths to expose the folly of human behavior. It takes shots at love-sickness, mourning, social ambition, and even moral propriety. Throughout the play, foolish behavior is often confused with "madness" or "lunacy." Duke Orsino is clearly only in love with the idea of love itself and views Olivia as just the…
Art Jacob Vienna, 002 VIENNA, JACOB – VINCENT VAN GOGH Vincent van Gogh Vincent van Gogh was a post-impressionist painter who is considered to be one of the greatest Dutch painters to ever live. One thing van Gogh is known for is the emotion in his work. I chose to write this paper about van Gogh due to this.

means to an end and that self deception is the one of the worst kinds of deception. He knew how to use deception to move the plot into different directions and just to make the story more interesting. Don John was used by Shakespeare to really highlight what a villain looks like and also show that not all villains will act like your enemy, until it’s too late. I believe Shakespeare wanted to teach the public that deception for bad purposes will only get you in trouble, and he succeeded. He has…

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…

it was and what it ment. Women were expected to be obedient and beautiful. They were expected to obey and serve men and juliet was not really into this. Guys just were eager and only thought of women as girls who would just clean and be expected to cook and take care of children. Most of the time they just used them and only had them for pleasure. Boys and girls to this day are constantly always being stereotyped for who they are, how they act and dress. Stereotypes affect women, a…
