Act one scene two started off with a speech by Claudius. Most of his speech was discussed in class where the speech was divided up by thought.

Gangs of New York is just perfect entertainment. It is an enthralling‚ bloody‚ melodramatic epic that more than justifies its two and one half hour running time. In Gangs director Martin Scorsese spins another tale of the New York underworld but with a twist. Instead of the mid-twentieth century organized crime milieu of Goodfellas‚ Scorsese ventures back to the 19th century to show us the origin of the modern street gang. It’s the early 1860s and the notorious Five Points slum is ruled by the

I have chosen to close read Act V‚ Scene iii as I believe it is the most significant scene in the play. The language forms‚ thematical inclusions and possibilities for staging all add to its importance. Titus Andronicus is often called “Shakespeare’s bloodiest spectacle” and this is one of the most gruesome conclusions written. The scene in question is the moment when everyone is together at Titus’s Roman
