- 263: The Taming of the Shrew: An Critique
- The Taming of the Shrew: An Critique The Taming of the Shrew is one of the earliest comedies written by sixteenth and seventeenth century English bard, William Shakespeare. Some scholars believe it may have been his first work written for the stage as well as his first comedy (Shakespearean 310). The earliest record of it being performed on stage is in 1593 or 1594. It is thought by many to be one of Shakespeare's most immature plays (Cyclopedia 1106). In The Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio was the only suitor willing to court Kate, the more undesirable of Baptista's two daughters. Kate ... my field, my barn, My horse, my ox, my ass, my anything…. Petruchio's words left no doubt as to his belief in the patriarchal marriage system that existed during Shakespeare's time, perhaps presented in somewhat of an exaggerated form (Kahn 414). As tiredness, hunger, and frustration set in on Kate, her wildcat personality began to weaken noticeably. Because ...
- 264: Method Acting
- ... does not. I have always held the conviction that to teach acting is to rob the art of it's truth, it's beauty. Over the summer, I performed in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. I was directed by someone who really made me understand the harsh realities of the "business," and yet at the same time, gave me a deeper ... order to work in that vein, as actors, that information needs to be known. Without it, there is no possible way to communicate to the audience a truthful portrayal of Shakespeare's text. Hamlet, for example, meant something else to the Elizabethans. In order to convey the depth and power of this play to a modern audience, we must understand Elizabethan life. If we read Shakespeare, we form our emotional memory based on our view and interpretation on the character, the play, the text, etc. However, what we have created is not what Shakespeare created. ...

- 266: A Critical Analysis Of William
- ... poem to be classified as a sonnet, it must meet certain structural requirements, and Sonnet 138, When my love swears that she is made of truth, is a perfect example. Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet, the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet, and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter. However, it ... content can be dramatically highlighted, as well as reinforcing the eventual impression that the poem describes an emotionally constraining relationship. In this essay I will investigate the tools with which Shakespeare constructs this unconventional love poem. The sonnet has a definite sense of strophic development, and the frequent twists in the narration necessitate a close examination of this. The sonnet begins ... believing her lies, he is in effect mirroring her actions. He presents himself as made of truth by establishing himself as an innocent, Unlearnèd in the world s false subtleties. Shakespeare begins the second stanza with a wonderful pun. Vainly thinking refers not only to the narrator s own vanity (which is driving him to such a deception), but also ...
- 267: Macbeth-tragic Hero
- Macbeth-Tragic Hero The main character, Macbeth is a classic example of a Shakespearean tragic hero. At the beginning of the play, Shakespeare defines Macbeth as a hero very clearly to the reader. However, as the play progresses, Shakespeare gradually indicates that Macbeth is a tragic hero. There are many factors that contribute to Macbeth¡¦s degeneration. First, Macbeth is shown to be a man of exceptional nature as ... is ambitious, and it is this ambition which eventually dooms him. Macbeth¡¦s character gradually degenerates from that of a noble man to that of a violent individual. At first, Shakespeare shows Macbeth¡¦s exceptional nature as well as his high position. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is portrayed as a brave, selfless warrior - competent and loyal to ...

- 269: Romeo and Juliet: Night - Rejoice or Rebel?
- ... horror. Two shining examples of the different emotions and reactions brought on by darkness are the books Night by Elie Wiesel and Romeo and Juliet by well-known author, William Shakespeare. In Romeo and Juliet night has a positive image, a welcomed time for love, protection and exchanging of covenants, while in Night the image is portrayed in a negative way, a time for fear, suffering, and death. Night in the great romances is a greeted time of romance and in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet a time to hide from the harsh reality of the outside world. Juliet greatly yearns for the coming of night. "And bring in cloudy night immediately. Spread thy close curtain..." (Shakespeare Act III Scene ii:4-5) Juliet is very eager for night to come as she uses the word "immediately," which is very strong and demanding. Her true love, ...
- 270: The Tempest: Comparing The Cultures in The Tempest and Ours
- ... men no matter of race, religion, or creed are equals in the eyes of society, as well as the law. This was not always true in history, especially not in Shakespeare's day and age. During this time, society had levels of classification where men were considered "superior" to other men. Shakespeare gives us a taste of this hierarchical culture through his play The Tempest. He shows us how "superior" men perceived themselves in contrast to lesser beings due to their race, financial status, and gender. We also are shown those who had reason to feel superior yet treated others equally and with the respect due to them. The Tempest reflects Shakespeare's society through the relationship between characters, especially between Prospero and Caliban. Caliban, who was the previous king of the island, is taught how to be "civilized" by Prospero ...
