Comedy has been and always will be a classic genre of books, music, movies, and staged theatrical productions. Reckless by Craig Lucas is an example of a successful attempt at dark comedy. It makes light of hired assassinations, murder, accidental killing, and human psychology. I found this play to be hilarious. It reminded me of one of my favorite mottos: if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. But what is it about this play that makes the comedy so successful? What occurs throughout the course of the…

His remarks were not meant as compliments, but he did not miss the playful glint that crossed her eyes when she took them as such. She was laughing gleefully, as though proud of such detrimental traits; he could not tell, whether it was a mix of her narcissism, arrogance, or perhaps, judging by her previous actions, results of insanity, a deranged personality. To him, she was a conundrum of sorts; dangerous, and unavoidable. She took a step towards him, before hopping onto and over the bar top…

Comedy and tragedy are often two sides of the same coin, black and white in nature, but in the play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf this nature becomes a messy storm of whether we’re supposed to laugh, cry, or both. When we started reading this play, I had no doubt in my mind that it was a comedy. The conversations between George and Martha were sometimes cruel, but I saw it as banter that’s often seen in long-term relationships. However, the class reacted in quite a different way from me, they…

Is Dressing Up as a Clown a Bad Thing? “Two men arrested in Georgia due to clown sighting and public nuisance.”People have rights, and two of those rights are freedom of expression and freedom of speech. This gives people the right to dress how they want. Dressing up as a clown is okay. NO ONE can tell you otherwise. There isn’t a difference between someone wearing bright clothes and lots of makeup and no one says that’s wrong. It’s just people showing their inner self to the world and people…

Mirror, Mirror… Imagine living in a world where criticism was punishable. You had to keep your head down and refrain from expressing your opinions of the world around you. Luckily the world we live in allows us to freely express our opinions of anything choose, especially political and authoritative figures. For many years, writers and directors have exercised their freedom of speech through satire—a literary device that uses humor or exaggeration to criticize society’s behavior. When we think…

In Oscar Wild’s written work, “The Importance of Being Ernest”, he employs humor through the use of flirty diction and satiric actions of certain characters. He does so in order to achieve his purpose of showing the lifestyle of the high class people during the Victorian era. Act 2, opening scene, Algernon and Cecily are saying their goodbyes. Algernon tries to have a few more moments with Cecily before he has to leave, he tries to show his true feelings, mentioning her, “..absolute perfection..…

Mechanics: West of Loathing is a unique mix between a point and click adventure and a turn based action rpg. Though you do have the ability to walk around the game using W,A,S,D I would use point and click to walk around find objects. The developers have a bag type system that is pretty good. Every item can be shown to you in a long list or you can sort every item down to make it more manageable. It seems as though whenever you want to leave a scene you walk off screen to the left. This is neat…

Humorists do not hesitate to deliver their messages even if the messages are dangerous or impossible to state directly. Moreover, they are essential and powerful as the messages they conveyed can influence the viewpoint of the audiences towards particular issue. Thus, in his 2004 book Status Anxiety, Alain de Botton argues that humorists are vital to the society. However, from…
