Shakespeare Behind Bars the documentary, directed by Hank Rogerson, showed to be very rhetorically effective because of the way Rogerson portrayed the play and the emotions of the inmates. By picking the year that Luther Luckett Prison does the play “The Tempest”, which is about temptations coming in and how the characters overcome them, that adds to the effectiveness because throughout the documentary the inmates’ desire for redemption. By adding this extra flare, you discover more about the inmates and how they connect with the play and the characters they portray. Also, by giving the audience a chance to understand the backstories of the inmates, this starts a sudden attraction to the inmates and an emotional attachment because they want

When comparing the Southwest indians to the Eastern Woodlands indians I found there were some differences, in their homes, the indians in the Southwest had hut like homes made of stone or adobe while indians in the Eastern Woodlands had lodge like homes made from wood. Farming and hunting seemed to be big for the Eastern Woodlands, but most of the Southwest people were just gatherers and hunters when they could be, although there were some successful farmers. Both areas had hostile groups of people, but the two groups in the Southwest later became more settled and peaceful. The Eastern Woodlands and the Great Plains had a few differences, again their homes being one of them.
The Power of Words and Actions Sometimes it is not just the words that people say but the actions that they do as well that show what kind of person they truly are. Similarities were quite clear after reading Shakespeare's Macbeth in regards to reading Markus Zusak's The Book Thief , watching Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet directed by Baz Luhrmann as well as hearing about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In The Book Thief, Rosa shows similarities within her personality with Lady Macbeth whereas in the movie Romeo and Juliet, after Capulet experiences almost the exact same event as Macbeth, they both react very similarly. Lastly, John F. Kennedy also goes through the same experience that King Duncan did as well.
There lives a man, Christian de Neuvillette, worshiped by all of the women of the land for his stunning looks. The one thing that stands between he and the perfect girl is his extreme stupidity. In the play, Cyrano de Bergerac, by Edmond Rostand, two men come together to create the ideal fairytale prince. Rostand uses one character that is ugly and smart, Cyrano, and one that is handsome and senseless named Christian. As the tale unfolds, Christian transforms through deception of intelligence into a deeper, more intelligent character, making himself more than just a pretty face.
three witnesses: 29. How much more surer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace?” Zeph. 1:6.;Luke 12:45-47 Luke 9:62 “No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God,” We must now ask ourselves what the foregoing scriptures mean.
The human mind is far more complex than humans themselves realize. The concept of free will and its limits can alter either the person or their life. In The Crucible, Arthur Miller presents the idea that misguided motives lead to decisions that wrong others by fearing what they don’t understand. The fear of the worst to occur is what fuels these people to encourage unreliable reasons for misinterpreted conduct.
In Act 2, Scene 2, a theatrical troupe arrives at the castle to perform a speech from Aeneid. Impressed with the player’s performance, Hamlet asks that the player act out a short speech he has written for the next day. Once alone, Hamlet undergoes an introspection that sheds light to his cowardly disposition. The soliloquy is divided into three sections: problem, cause, and resolution. Through his initial self-condemnation for being passive, Hamlet realizes the essence of his internal struggle and devises a plan to take action without having to go against his true nature.
Act 4 Reader’s Response When I began reading act four of The Crucible, I hadn’t developed strong feelings, positive or negative, about any characters. There were certain people I didn’t necessarily like throughout the first three acts, but there was never a point when I became extremely frustrated with any of them. In this act, that wasn’t the case. Deputy Governor Danforth proved to me as act four progressed that he wasn’t concerned for the people of Salem, he was concerned about not allowing himself, the government or his God look weak. I discovered how his reputation became more important to him than standing up to the hysteria and saving innocent lives.
plan is to kidnap his daughter Gilda, who they think is his mistress. Act one was at casino owned by Duke, who flirts with many women, and one of them is his entourage, Ceprano’s wife. While Rigoletto Duke’s mate and comedian mocks the angry husband Ceprano. Marullo, another one of Duke’s entourage comes in with the latest gossip that Rigoletto is keeping a young mistress at his apartment, meanwhile angry Ceprano plots a revenge plan with others to punish Rigoletto for his insults.
Act 3 Scene 1 and Act 3 Scene 5 were made effective for different reasons for example Scene 1 contained more tension and impetuous decisions whereas Scene 5 consists of more predicaments and character revealing. Act 3 Scene 1 was effective because of the language used within the battle between the two families and was mostly patronizing and provoking towards each other, the character was mainly based on how blood thirsty and maculating these men thought they were, tension was used a lot within this scene as this was the scene where two men were killed and the situation was found to be more serious. Scene 5 showed characters’ personalities more as this was the scene were you got to know both Lord and Lady Capulets true colours, and their relationship with their daughter and shows us the patriarchal society
In great literature there are often characters who are deceitful to others to carry out a greater purpose. By doing so the character often compromises relationships with friends and family but it can also compromise the safety of the character and others around them. In the play Hamlet Shakespeare uses Hamlet’s character to elaborate on this situation, Claudius is deceiving his family and friends for a greater purpose which at times seems to do more bad than good. Claudius deceives many people in the tragedy Hamlet.
Throughout William Shakespeare’s tragic play, King Lear, the goal of gaining control over the kingdom and boasting about one’s status drove the characters to deceive each other through the use of lies and manipulation. Right from the start, King Lear demanded that his daughter profess their love for him, causing Regan and Goneril to exaggerate their love all to flatter their father and gain the most of his land. When it was Cordelia’s turn, even though she spoke from her heart about how much her father means to her, her words did not praise her father enough as he insisted she revise her confession. Act 1 Scene 1 started the destruction of the Lear family as Regan and Goneril proved successful in gaining their father’s land by spreading lies
Act 2, scene 2 is quite an important scene in Macbeth, since it marks the changes of the characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Their thoughts and emotions are presented in this particular scene. It shows the different roles that they play and how much they have been influenced by the witches’ prophecies. Lady Macbeth claims to be courageous in the beginning of the scene, by saying ‘that which hath made them drunk made me bold’. She seems to be very keen about this murder and very confident, and the fact that she was alone on stage emphasises it.
Type SAQ below In modern and past pieces of art and literature, the narrative voice of a male character tends to have an enthusiastic response at the sight or thought of a possible romantic partner. The song, “Michelle,” sung by Sir Paul McCartney at the White House in dedication to First Lady Michelle Obama, conveys the view of a man who is in love with a woman who only speaks French, but he knows they would be perfect together despite the language barrier. In the excerpt from “Romeo and Juliet,” written by William Shakespeare, about two star crossed lovers set in the 1300’s. The protagonist, Romeo, falls madly in love with Juliet upon first meeting her, and she causes him to be in complete and utter awe at her beauty and allure.
