In Bucknell University’s production of Marisol by Jose Rivera, one of the central themes is chaos and the effects of chaos. This theme of chaos is in part seen through the inconsistent timeline of the play. Chaos is also seen through the development of the main characters Marisol, June, and Lenny. Jose Rivera’s purpose in writing about chaos is to parallel the real life experiences of so many people before and even now that live the lives of his characters in Marisol. The chaos is present to give voice to the real people who lived in uncertainty, enduring the insane events of the play.
Jenna Ball Mrs. Nienstedt Civics 9 9 February 2018 Lord of the Flies Essay Franklin D. Roosevelt once stated, “The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a president and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country” (Brainy Quotes).

This is important to the text in many ways, one showing Jalil didn’t want her in his life full time, which is pretty pathetic. It also shows how little she meant to him, just like her reflection on the table means nothing.

Donald Muller, the little boy in the story, seems to be a very easy target for a predator. Donald is very isolated in school. He does not have any friends, so he the fact that the priest would accept him would make him feel accepted in the school. Donald is also the only black boy within the entire school.

Maria acts tricky to others for her own gain that shows her selfishness. Malvolio is reading the fake love letter and is failing for the trick, when Sir Toby says behind the bushes “ I could marry this wench for this device” (2.5.172). Sir Toby is starting to fall in love with Maria, which is what Maria wanted. This develops Maria’s character to be selfish and greedy as she sacrifices Malvolio’s feelings to get closer to someone else. Furthermore, Maria’s manipulative nature is illustrated through her actions when she uses her knowledge of personal preferences others have.

Helena, one of the main characters of this Shakespearean comedy, expresses her thoughts on love through a soliloquy. This soliloquy is written in verse and in “iambic pentameter” - five unaccented syllables, each followed by an accented one - as the rest of the play is, but with the characteristic that it rhymes.

Helena’s soliloquy, formed, as mentioned before, by heroic couplets, follows the rhyme scheme AABBCC as can be seen in this extract: “Things base and vile, folding no quantity, (A) Love can transpose to form and dignity: (A) Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; (B) And therefore is wing 'd Cupid painted blind: (B)
