Tragedy has become a large part of English literature. Tragedy started early dating back to the ancient Greeks.

While the comedies would be related to current events, they would criticize the people and ideas using sarcasm. The Greek Dramas followed many themes and the play would have a moral that would involve how life should be lived by an individual in that time. Modern theatre plays are more free, they can have both tragedy and comedy features, as well as music, creating…

Theatre of Cruelty was developed by Antonin Artaud to show to audiences that the theatre wasn't necessarily an escape from the world but actually realisation of their worst nightmares and deepest fears.

Character (MILDRED HAYES) In the Movie “The Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” I cannot overlook the stiff and hard persona of Mildred Hayes, the bereaved mother who has had it with the failure of the local police department to find the person (s) responsible for raping and murdering her daughter. Of all the Characters in the movie, I think Mildred was perhaps the worst, albeit a victim of a crime. I find Mildred interesting because she’s the only one that stood out to me. Mildred, in my view…
