Being a well-made play, all is naturalistic and not overly dramatized. However, Ibsen makes use of features within the setting to subtly convey and emphasize the story and its messages. One such feature concerns the doors within the house. At the beginning, he describes four doors in the house: two at the back, and one on either side. In…

The theatrical realist movement inspired plays about middle-class characters and encouraged natural acting. Miller took this movement further; to maximize the chance of the audience identifying with his characters, he…

Hitchcock utilised the theme of voyeurism in many of his works e.g. Rear Window, Psycho, Vertigo, and North by Northwest, in his endless pursuit to engage the audience. The use of the gaze invites the viewer into the character’s world and become a part of the scene via relatability. Whilst watching a Hitchcock movie, we almost feel responsible when we see an act of violence being imposed on a character in an act of passion boiling over, as if the blade were in our own hand. There is an element…
