Night Terrors I usually wake up screaming. They called night terrors. In the middle of the night you will wake up and bolt upright in bed, screaming as loud as you’re able. After a night terror the person will simply lie back down and fall asleep, just like that. They don’t remember anything the next morning. The real victims are the family. For a husband who hears his wife 's screams next to him. For a daughter to hear her mother scream through the walls as though she were being murdered in…

William Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night and the film Shakespeare in Love deal with the complexities of gender and sexuality. Even though the play Twelfth Night was published nearly four hundred years before Shakespeare in Love was released, Shakespeare’s play represents a more modern outlook on gender. Both materials involve cross-dressing, but cross-dressing is more of a feature in Shakespeare in Love, while Twelfth Night actually delves into the complexities of what it means to be either male…

the first, as the two women use many of the techniques that were used on Benedick.The two speak eloquently and metaphorically, in verse, which is traditionally most romantic. As a result Beatrice is utterly taken in, although her initial reaction is one of shock and disbelief: ‘What fire is in mine ears? Can this be true?’.

Exoticism exists on a spectrum, from pure exoticism - the choice to represent or "other" an exotic a non-Western subject, to transcultural composing which is the result of the combination of Western and non-Western styles without any intent to "other" an exotic subject (Lecture). Bizet's Carmen premiered at the Opera Comique in 1875 and was successful because of its violation of the social and operatic norms.

In the Renaissance Era men were proud to be vigorous in their pursuit of women. Like in many of Shakespeare’s plays, men were supposed to be in search of love even if it led to sacrificing everything, even their own lives.
