    Death of a Salesman The play Death of a Salesman (DOAS) by Arthur Miller‚ written in 1949‚ focuses on the life and actions of the Loman family in the heart of Brooklyn. The man of the house Willy and his two sons Biff and Happy are the most interesting of the bunch‚ since they are very much alike on the surface‚ but oh-so different on the inside. Willy Loman‚ the main protagonist (and antagonist) of DOAS‚ is your usual patriotic father. He is an insecure‚ self-deluded traveling salesman‚ with

    This play is based on the Salem Witch Trails that took place in 1692. The Trials began because a group of girls in the village claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. Arthur Miller’s play has similarities with the historical background of the actual Witch Trails‚ but it can also affect our lives by teaching us various lessons. Hysteria is one of the universal themes in this play‚ along with Reputation. Out of the three themes that will be interpreted in

    Price to Pay? With its minimalistic set design‚ small cast‚ and a stage with nearly no lighting‚ Peter Shaffer’s play Equus relies heavily on a masterfully written script to spread its message with the audience. The play is “neither great theatre nor bad psychology‚ but it has elements of both” (Witham). With the assistance of the character Martin Dysart‚ a child psychologist‚ the play analyzes the parental‚ religious‚ and sexual reasoning behind the heinous act of a sick boy (Alan Strang) and calls

    Analysis Essay Revisiting the Past The past is complex; it cannot be repeated‚ nor altered‚ so why do so many people try to relive it? In Death of a Salesman‚ Willy tries on multiple occasions to relive his past through his memories. The whole Loman family did not want to face their situations‚ most of them wanted to stay in the past as long as they could. In Death of a Salesman‚ Arthur Miller described how not just one character‚ but four characters struggled to let go of the past. As Willy‚ a salesman

    Death Foretold

    • 1144 Words
    • 3 Pages

    At the crux of Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a love story. The story itself is quite simple but in reality is dominated by the elusiveness of love and filled with cultural customs‚ clashes‚ illusions‚ and ambivalence. The conception of love in the novel is bleak; Santiago’s parents marry out of convenience “without a single moment of happiness” (García Márquez 6)‚ and her mother must “console herself for her solitude” (10-11). Indeed‚ the thin line between love and duty and love and matrimony

    Throughout Shakespeare’s work‚ more famously in “Hamlet”‚ “Romeo and Juliet”‚ “Othello”‚ and “Merchant of Venice”‚ there are cleverly placed puns in the poems‚ plays‚ and some sonnets. A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings. These puns are either overlooked‚ unrecognized‚ or not credited well enough. The puns that Shakespeare utilizes in each of his works can have either an erotic‚ humorous
