During the previous act: Act 2 Scene 6‚ Romeo and Juliet are married in secret by Friar Lawrence. The atmosphere in the scenes are juxtaposed‚ as Act 3 Scene 1 is extremely tense and ultimately becomes the matter of the play; initially a comedy‚ transformed in to a tragedy. The moods in each of the scenes contrast completely; one of love and unanimity and the other of death and anguish; these two scenes deliberately conflict love and hate‚ the main themes of the play. Act 3 Scene 1 begins in a “public

Critical commentary on Act 3‚ Scene 3‚ lines 262-293 This passage is primarily a monologue of Othello’s realisation that he cannot forgive Desdemona for being unfaithful‚ however much it hurts him. The destruction of Othello’s mind‚ due to Iago’s manipulation‚ is clearly evident in this passage as well because we see the unreasonable motives‚ driven by persuasion‚ behind everything he says and how he reacts to everything Desdemona says. Othello’s monologue begins with a repeat of the ironic

Hamlet Assignment: Act One Due 12/17/12 In the beginning of the play‚ the reader is introduced to the disorder in Denmark‚ a prevalent motif. The mysterious death of the king spurred the disorder‚ and the prospect of revenge was magnified by the supposed appearance of the late King Hamlet’s ghost. The ghost’s appearance and subsequent speech intensify the disorder by validating the reader’s suspicion of Claudius as a murderer and an incestuous‚ adulterous serpent. Hamlet is torn by this

Intro scene: How are the characters established in the context of the group (‘southern XX ballroom championships’) Opening scenes establish insular sense of belonging- silhouettes of characters giving high fives and hugs. President established as powerful in the group- low angle shot‚ announcer introducing‚ video of dancing. Ironic- it looks daggy‚ he looks ridiculous‚ but powerful in this setting. Scott’s samba is presented in an over dramatised manner to emphasise how he has challenged

Death of a Salesman Act 1 I thought it was interesting the way Willy seems to always contradict himself. On page 36‚ after stating to his wife Linda that he will be a great success at work next week‚ he claims “You know‚ the trouble is‚ Linda‚ people don’t seem to take to me‚”. He also flips between calling Biff a “lazy bum” and then a “hard worker”. This contradiction between fantasy and reality seems to help Willy cope with his unsatisfactory lifestyle. Because of the abandonment from his father

The beginning of the play starts with a prologue‚ the main point of this is to get the audience’s attention and set the scene but to also explain the whole outline of the play.

In the prologue Shakespeare chooses to use a lot of violent language- “Their death...Civil blood makes civil

ambitious‚ flawed character that is stronger than her husband and knows it. She has both feminine and masculine characteristics which allow her to literally get away with murder-she is manipulative‚ ruthless and cunning. It is very clear from the act if you have read it.

That’s why she wants the spirits to unsex her - "fill me from
