    Clybourne Park Summary

    The play takes place in a middle class white neighborhood in Chicago called Clybourne Park. The First Act takes place in 1959, the Second, in 2009. My favorite character in Clybourne Park is Kathy. I find it interesting that Kathy is connected to the family from A Raisin in the Sun. This fact brings the two stories together to mention the character of Mr. Lindner who was in A Raisin in the Sun briefly. My favorite part of the play was the very end when Kenneth is seen in the moments before his death. Before this part, I was a little confused about Russ’ grief and sadness throughout Act 1 and about the letter reading at the end of the first act. This flashback perfectly tied together the entire…

    The Crucible Reverend Hale Character Analysis

    The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, is a partially fictitious rendering of the colonial witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts. The Puritanical society creates characters of strong moral compasses, but who also take the Devil as seriously as they take God. All sins are severely punished and supernatural reports and behavior are not taken lightly. The play begins with Reverend Parris speaking about his discovery of his niece, daughter, and other village girls dancing in the woods over a fire. His daughter, Betty, has mysteriously fallen ill since the dancing was discovered. This occurrence sparks rumors of witchcraft around the village. Parris’ niece, Abigail, obsessed with her…

    Malachi Stacks in the Matchmaker

    In the world of business there are always those men and women who are not recognized for the contributions they make to certain products, projects, or works even though without them the result would never exist. Nonetheless, these people go on with their daily lives working hard, knowing that all their dedication is going to benefit others and not them. Yet, they can’t blame the big companies for not being recognized, because these men and women do this willingly. They are fully aware that their actions serve a purpose to the greater rather than a personal one, and for them that is enough. Such people do not need the recognition of others because they themselves know the importance of their actions. One example of such a human being is portrayed in Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker. His name is Malachi Stacks, and though he only shows up on stage two or three times, he is the one who gives the entire production meaning. Malachi is the person who sets into motion a series of events that completely change not only the characters, but also their lives. With this character, Thornton Wilder takes what used to be just a regular farce comedy and gives it meaning which makes all the difference, Malachi Stacks makes all the difference.…

    Vyse: Harry Parr Chanticoler

    It appears that Harry Parr, knowing Vyse’s penchant for modelling fauns and animals, he could not resist having a jibe at ‘pompous Vyse,’ especially at the Royal Academy, and as he remarked to his son Malcom, ‘I’m not done with debunking Vyse’. From his studio adjacent to Vyse, he sent in two exhibits to the RA. A promotional photo-card, dated 1927, illustrates one of Parr’s exhibits, a pottery group titled Chanticleer (RA1572). The subject is a handsome boy mounted on a speckled cockerel (Fig. 79). The 1928 coloured photograph shows a cockerel decorated in blues and lavender. From this evidence, one can assume that Parr made at least two different coloured versions of Chanticleer. The composition is a variation of Parr’s figure…

    Wedding of Zein by Tayeb Salih and its portrayal of women.

    I think that its first important to characterize Zein, who plays a very important role in the story as well as in this essay. Zein is sort of a "holy fool" in his little village. He is not exactly crazy, or foolish, but is clearly peculiar. He seems to promote laughter and good feelings wherever he goes, although sometimes this is at his own expense. Many of the villagers laugh at him and with him. Not only was he the most peculiar in town, he also was believed to have special powers that would marry any women he would fall in love with. Zein has his eyes on numerous women through out the book. He would be obsessed with all of him until his love would be transferred to another heart. He was a "broker, a salesman, or a postman" of love. His powers are explained in the book by his close friendship with Haneen, a pious man who is "wholly dedicated to his religious devotions". Zein also undergoes a transformation from village clown to responsible and even modern member of the community.…
