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.

Of the many fearsome beasts and monsters that roam our land, there is none more curious or more deadly than the Basilisk, known also as the King of Serpents… Its methods of killing are most wondrous, for aside from its deadly and venomous fangs, the Basilisk has a murderous stare, and all who are fixed with the beam of its eye shall suffer instant death. Spiders flee before the Basilisk, for it is their mortal enemy, and the Basilisk flees only from the crowing of the rooster, which is fatal to it. Most of this description is what Pliny the Elder describes in his Natural History. The only difference is that Pliny says that the weasel destroys the basilisk, Rowling having probably changed this so that Fawkes could save Harry rather than a regular weasel.

that applies heavily to japan today. Many citizens argue whether incorporating aspects of foreign culture into their society would be seen as an adaptation or if it would be seen as adoption. Ultimately what FLCL shows is that accepting foreign influences doesn’t mean that one’s original identity is lost, instead incorporating new aspects may in fact result in a positive growth.
