Henrietta The Eighth: Character Analysis
All three actors from the VHS production of Henrietta the Eighth performed with devotion to their character’s style and behavior. Maggie remaining dedicated to her frustrated character with an accent, Gabby utilizing powerful voice for Wilma’s obnoxious demands, and Rebecca having the mindset of an antagonist are examples of actors dedicated to their characters. Their performance elements: enunciation, projection, dialect, physical appearance, physical actions and grabbing the audience’s attention was achieved by the three actors. Henrietta the Eighth executed the theme of comedy of manners with the development of the actors fulfilling the roles of Maggie, Wilma, and Anabelle.

    “The scientific enterprise is all about failure; I mean, you learn so much from failure. And you learn almost nothing from success.” This scientist is stating that one cannot gain any knowledge without failing. This is not true.

    Throughout The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne establishes the character Pearl as having tenacity and peculiarity in her personality and traits. First, Nathaniel Hawthorne exaggerates Pearl’s qualities to establish her as an odd child and a separate person from the Puritan town she lives in. In chapter 7, after the governor asks Pearl who created her, she answers by saying ‘no one created her rather her mother plucked her from a wild rose bush near the prison.’ Hawthorne follows Pearl’s remark with, “This fantasy was probably suggest by the near proximity of the Governor’s red roses, as Pearl stood outside of the window; together with her recollection of the prison rose bush, which she had passed in coming hither.” (Pg. 77) Adults are not…

    The documented definition of a person is very ambiguous. Merriam-Webster defines a person as “a human being”. This answer leaves much to the imagination, particularly with the case of Henrietta Lacks and her cells. After I analyzed this prompt, I reached a conclusive definition: a person should be referred to as “one who has a lucid connection between physical self and self identity. A being without any self awareness or comprehension of the psychology of humankind cannot be constituted as a person.” Personhood is made up of key elements including perception of human nature and conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, motives, and desires.…

Song of Solomon focuses on the life of the protagonist Milkman Dead and his lifelong quest dedicated to discovering both his roots and purpose in life.

    Various characters in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet exhibit aspects of an “outsider”. The obvious choices being Claudius and Hamlet. Claudius appears to be freed from moral restrictions, while Hamlet represents the stereotypical isolated intellectual. However, both of them pale in comparison to the true outsider in the play: Ophelia. Both Claudius and Hamlet are too respected and entangled in the lives of others to be considered the ultimate estranged outsider. Ophelia on the other hand, is constantly pushed to the periphery, despite her significant relationships with many of the main characters. She is also unable to comply with the restrictive and conflicting expectations placed upon her.…

    Since the beginning, heroic leaders are well recognized in society for their distinctive qualities, but as time progressed, the standards for heroic qualities become more known for one’s knowledge and willpower rather than their strength. Heroic leaders share common interests of wanting to protect, to inspire, and to bring joy to others. However, some leaders share the flaw of excessive bragging, where every encounter for them would be a chance to comment on how great they are. For instance, Harriet Tubman has taken part in the real-life controversy over slavery by taking action in rescuing over seven hundred slaves towards their path of freedom. Whereas, in the epic, The Odyssey, by Homer, the “heroic” protagonist, King Odysseus guides his…
