    The Shoe Horn Sonata Play Analysis

    The play ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ composed by John Misto, is primarily focused on the incarceration of women and children in P.O.W (Prisoner Of War) camps located in the jungles of Japan in World War Two, rather than the most common factors of the male soldier wartime stories and other masculine hardships dealt with at the time. As the play unfolds Misto presents the audience with various theatrical components to convey the relationship of two women being interviewed to reminisce about their experience in captivity during the war. The composer also exposes Bridie and Sheila’s inner conflict within themselves due to 50years worth of built up tension, the absences in each other’s lives and unresolved issues which later leads them to the process of implementing harmony back into their friendship.…

    My Papa's Waltz Analysis

    In “My Papa’s Waltz”, American poet Theodore Roethke transforms the horrid experience of a child being beaten by his father into the romantic and beautiful dance of a waltz. Written in trecet iambs to imitate the relaxing beat of the waltz, the poet installs some sense of pleasure in the reader. In doing so, Roethke makes the subject of a beating more readable and lessening the effect of the drunkenness makes the speaker’s father more forgivable. The lucidity of diction and imagery throughout Roethke’s poem distracts from the underlying dark metaphor of a son being beaten by his drunk father to a graceful waltz.…
