This essay will speak about two media spectacles from within the last ten years and how the media influenced the public. This essay should prove that the media influences the public and the way the public views a certain topic.

enthusiasm towards the circuses and sequentially brushed aside the other cheap amusements in their towns such as the live acts, expositions, and World’s Fair. It became a place to escape reality. The main attraction of the circus was the American circus spectacle, which was a historical drama where the viewers would look at racial and gendered exhibits/images of South Asia. This became an instructional forum where people of power could solidify their control and maintain stereotypes on the…

been fascinated with the sublime nature of technology. Stating that the dynamic, geometric and electric sublimes are what spark this fascination, one can find that this American craving can be easily connected to the spectacles that Americans found truly sublime. For example, the spectacle of race was extremely apparent in the Colombian Exposition due to the symbolism of the Midway Plaisance and the White Palace. Race was an aspect and attribute of life that many had been closed off to at this…

As I was rearranging the six categories with my four movies, I realized several similarities to the genres of movies with the poetic elements. To give an example, Spider-Man (2002) is a character-driven movie. The movie expands on the main character’s personal development as a superhero. Throughout the movie Peter…

Opinions being absorbed creates the standard that people no longer need to put thought into the creation of beliefs among those who consume media through large news networks. Guy DeBord, in “The Society of the Spectacle,” elaborates on this claim regarding personal opinion, stating that “this thought is entirely determined by the fact that it cannot and does not wish to apprehend its own material foundation in the spectacular system” (Debord 194).

has long been revered as the utmost expert on theater. He wrote a book called The Poetics in which, among other things, he listed the six most important elements of a drama (Admin). These elements, plot, character, theme, diction, music, and spectacle, listed in order from most to least important, are still used by playwrights today, as well as by those of Shakespeare’s time (Trumbull). Aristotle’s six elements of drama can be found in all of Shakespeare’s works, including the tragedy,…

with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos.”. Throughout Lord of the Flies, Golding tells a story of the conflict for power between boys trapped in an island. In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses (1) the conch, (2) Piggy’s spectacles, and the character (3) Ralph to advance the theme that humans tend to become uncivilized by their nature. William Golding uses the conch as a symbol of civilization and with the conch he shows the turning point from civilized to savage. At…

set the spectacle of the production. Which, as we know, can involve the costumes, special effects, and all the aspects of scenery in the production. Spectacle is anything that deals with the visual elements of the production which help create the world and atmosphere for the audience’s eye. In Of Thee I Sing, it is very easy to tell that the setting is in the early 1930s America era. All of the accents, costumes, and stage design help bring the atmosphere to life.
