Titus Andronicus

My personal response to the Egalitarian views of Linda Belleville and Craig Keener is varied. When reading and learning from Belleville I would go from understanding and personally align in thought, to feeling her view was somewhat stretching for me especially when other references were used outside of scripture. I was able to follow Keener closer, but this could be based on my up bringing in the evangelical church. It was very helpful to learn from Belleville the difference between…

In evaluating the weaknesses of the Egalitarian view, one of the difficulties I had was the perspective of Genesis 1-3 in that it represents the sequence of creation and not a difference in the role of male and female. The position also seemed weak in determining that there is no hierarchy of authority consideration of the word ‘helper’, of man’s responsibility to name woman, the name of Adam, and that Adam was created first. For when we recognize a difference in gender roles it also helps…

Topic Since the eighteenth century, scholars have debated whether William Shakespeare, high school dropout and glove maker’s son from the backwoods town of Stratfordupon-Avon, would have had the education, sophistication and literary skill to have written plays that are considered the most important works of literature in English. In the course of this debate, scholars have put forward many contenders as the “real author” of the plays, Queen Elizabeth I, Francis Bacon, and Christopher Marlowe.…

William Shakespeare (within the class system of Elizabethan England) did not seem intended for enormity. He was not born into a gracious or wealthy family. He did not continue his formal education at university, nor did he take guidance of a senior artist. He didn’t marry to a wealthy or prestigious family. Since he is not been casting for starring roles, his talent appears to have been self-effacing as an actor. As a playwrighter, his success depends in part upon royal sponsorship. In spite of…

Macbeth by William Shakespeare starts with Macbeth after a battle, where he finds three witches. They predict that he will eventually become king. Macbeth reports their prophesy to Lady Macbeth who is delighted to hear the news, and immediately makes plans on murdering King Duncan. After Macbeth invites the King to his home, he kills him, and begins to feel haunted by his actions. Macbeth hears more revelations from the witches, and tries to kill his friend, Banquo, and his son, Fleance. Later…

William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is one of his most disputable plays for an assortment of reasons. Written in sixteenth-century England, where against Semitism was normal and the nearness of Jews was not, the play suggests numerous conversation starters concerning racial, religious and human distinction. The play is particularly precarious to inspect in the present society, as its hostile to Semitic subjects and dialect can be awkward to look in a world post-Holocaust. Also, the…

Produce: cause to make something happen or come into existence. Music producers from all around the world are known to guide the process of making an album or a song creatively. This role is crucial to the making of albums, as fans will listen to projects and not realize the miniscule micromanaging necessary to create a specific sound and atmosphere (Dan Connor). They are the directors of the movie known as music (Ek), and they usually never stand in the spotlight. According to Dan Connor, a…

The famous tragedy, Hamlet, by William Shakespeare has three different versions that are often debated regarding which one is authentic or closest to the original, as no one possesses the original copy. The three main versions that editors typically pull from as well as blend together are: quarto 1 (bad quarto), quarto 2 (good quarto), and the first folio (F). Quarto one is often not incorporated as much due to it being having the consistencies of a “rough draft”, so to speak. The first quarto…

talking lightly or air like even though she is angry. She only moves to three different points standing and talking the same, but crying in the mixture. All the sudden she smiles and has strong fire in her voice and quick spark like movement. Titus Andronicus is acted out next. He comes out with strong anger standing tall and straight by the tables. Using STRONG fire, quick head turns and loud with disgust on his face, one line that stood out was "I will grind your bones to dust!" He shows…

action of the play. however, none of the characters in the play have this viewpoint; Hamlet's first person narration gives him latitude to explore what he has witnessed, what he thinks about what he has seen, and what actions he should or shouldn't take, as exemplified in the famous "to be or not" soliloquy. Claudius also has a moment of self-revelation while praying when he considers what he has done to become king.” (Hamlet Point of View). Hamlet cannot be limited point of view because limited…
