Subplot

“King Lear” is one of the great works of William Shakespeare. It is the tale of an elderly king who leaves his entire estate to two of his three daughters as he slowly descends into madness. One of the main themes in this play is suffering. There is a vast amount of suffering felt by all of the major characters throughout the play, but it is nothing compared to that felt by king Lear and Gloucester. These two characters are pushed to their limits by the pain that they must endure. However,…

play revolves around a king and his daughters’ interactions when he gives them most of his kingdom. The entire family gets swept up in a humongous wave of drama as everyone except the youngest daughter starts backstabbing each other. There is also a subplot that mirrors the main story, with two brothers and their dad in a power struggle; the whole thing feels a bit unnecessary to the main story, however. All of King Lear revolves around family drama, and the changing dynamics as parents see…

unjust sense of superiority and entitlement. It’s a story that’s been written a million times before, and will unfortunately, be written a million times more. So why, ladies and gentlemen, do books that tell the same sexist story, give or take a subplot or two, become the must-reads of the 21st century? Is it…

characters and the narrative of the graphic novel. Malcom was not given such a role in the film, he was only included in one scene, thus taking away from this narrative complexity. Another example is the complete removal of the “Black Freighter” subplot in the theatrical cut of Watchmen, where a boy reads a comic entitled “Tales of the Black Freighter” and the contents of that comic are shared with the reader. There are many parallels between these tales and what is occurring in the main…

shorten the length and be appropriate for children. In Madame’s original version of Beauty and the Beast, was drawn-out, being over 300 pages long. Jeanne made various changes to La Belle et la Bete; she took out the sexuality component and numerous subplots. Despite the revisions, Jeanne kept the story intact (Forgotten Books, vii). Her use of ethos, pathos, and logos emphasize the theme of love. Madame Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve’s La Belle et la Bete and Jeanne’s Beauty and the Beast,…

The first thing that comes to mind when trying to link William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet with the concept of metatheatre, is the play which is staged by young Hamlet to confront his uncle Claudius with the murder of the old king Hamlet. Nevertheless, even though nothing qualifies more as metatheatre than this particular scene, the play-within-a-play is not the only significant device of metatheatre in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. There are several more metatheatrical plots that can be detected in the…

Food: a necessity obligatory for our livelihood, yet its composition as well as its diverse and customary preparations has a prominence whether it is used for comfort, a curated passion such as cooking or occupied as a food critic, or if it is just something utilized to cure boredom. Regarding food and cinema, Itami Juzo’s Tampopo is one of the handfuls of motion pictures created towards the infrequent “noodle western” genre of filmography contributing to the multiple food films seen in cinema.…

Let's be honest right away. I'm not a huge Cronenberg fan. I've seen most of his movies and more often than not, I don't end up loving them. That qualification right there probably puts me out of the running for giving a valid opinion on Dead Ringers. Nevertheless, this is my site and I can do what I want!
