Victorian Aristocracy. Characterization is used to describe characters and their personalities. Witticism, a literary tone, is used as a cleverly witty and often biting or ironic remark. Satire, a literary tone, is used to ridicule or make fun of human vice or weakness, often with the intent of correcting or changing, the subject. When you read the title of the literary work Wilde wrote, “The Importance of Being Earnest”, the Victorian aristocratic social group is represented as having…

Not only is the film quite odd, there are several different messages that could be taken from the short. I believe Svankmajer’s work is his perception of human life. Beginning with the title, Darkness, Light, Darkness, this is similar to the idea of the human lifespan. Life starts in darkness while inside the womb then transforms into light once we are birthed. However, life will inevitably end in darkness that is death. While the film depicts these three…

We can use nonverbal communication to show how we are feeling, as well as, see how others are feeling. Based on facial expressions, body language, eye contact, hand gestures, and placement of limbs, we can usually depict someone’s internal emotions that they may or may not be portraying. When we are speaking, although understanding what they are…

Albee choice to make Martin’s mistress a goat is a disturbing yet effective way to portray the message of human sexuality and desire. The first couple times Martin speaks about Sylvia the goat, the audience and characters see it as a joke. There are many moments of laughter in the audience. When Martin’s friend, Ross, writes a letter to Martin’s wife, Stevie, exposing Martin’s infidelity, laughter soon turns into shock and disgust.

out of love. They lie, they cheat, they dominate, and they are formidably dominated. Memorable unruly characters and lasting theatrics, where the Bard releases piquant humor and mischief in The Taming of The Shrew (Shr.), c. 1593, one of his first comedies (The British Library). Aptly, the play satirizes mores of its Tudor epoch, stirring and plays within a play where diction bites. Theatrically, the work is based, in principle, about courtship upsetting dynamics, marital proposals, and…

Mark Twain would also take jabs at politicians and social issues that he didn’t agree with. He did this while using humor.…
