Amit Kalantri, author of Wealth of Words once wrote, “Parents expect only two things from their children, obedience in their childhood and respect in their adulthood” (Daughters). Parents vary on their own understanding of their children and respecting their children’s wishes. In Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the two fathers in the plays most certainly want the obedience and respect from their children, but do little to return the respect back to their daughters when it comes to their daughters’ marriages. The two fathers in The Taming of the Shrew and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Batista and Egeus, are two characters who cause the pursuits of their daughters in both of their respected plays. They are faced
I have read numerous different books in my Contemporary Literature class; I have chosen to compare and contrast The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Ironically, they both have meanings that are fairly relatable for anyone; we are all impressionable as children however our innocence is often stripped away by life’s challenges. The two contemporary literature books I chose, both show and help to explain how our life experiences influence who we grow up to be. Jeannette Walls wrote The Glass Castle, it is the story of her life growing up in a somewhat dysfunctional yet loving family. Consequently, she uses vivid details and language to help the reader to really feel and understand what
Patriarchy presents the roles of men and women in a distinct form. Men are expected to be the dominant leader, strong, protector and sole provider where as women are subverted to the role of domestic duties, raring of children and fulfilling her man’s every desire without question or comment. In Lynn Nottage ’s play Poof! , she brilliantly portrays the roles of men and women, and experiments with the concept of changing gender roles that are characteristic of our society.
Nicholas Hytner’s adaptation of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is pulsating with dramatic energy. Hytner has also directed films that were adapted from stage. Hytner works in a punchy, combustible style, sweeping his camera through the sunny fields of Salem, using wide-angle lenses to make the actors’ faces pop off the screen. In the movie version of The Crucible, Elizabeth Proctor was one of the most believable characters from the play.

In Amal El-Mohtar’s “Seasons of Glass and Iron,” two women are trapped in magical situations: Tabitha is forced to wear down seven pairs of iron shoes by her abusive bear husband as punishment for trying to prevent his violence, while Amira is placed on a glass hill by her father to prevent the advances of suitors and keep her father’s kingdom united under his control. Magic here acts a metaphor for patriarchal power, and is used to impose restrictions upon women, just as the patriarchal system does. Through this metaphor, El-Mohtar asserts that the socially constructed patriarchal system is not intrinsic to society but, like magic, is an unnatural force, and advocates for a return to the natural base in order to reconstruct society. Throughout the story, magic works in the same way that power dynamics in a patriarchal society work, in that it works against the female characters, imposing restrictions on them, while it works in favour of men.
William Shakespeare’s work has been involved in the high school curriculum for many years. Many say that Shakespeare’s ideas reveal the true human nature and that's why young adults need to study about him; However, the more that teens study Shakespeare some have agreed that it shouldn’t be apart of the standard High School curriculum due to the fact that the old English has no importance to them. Although William Shakespeare is an amazing dramatist and his works show the true reality of the world, Shakespeare’s writings and ideas need to be offered as an elective rather than having it forced on students in the normal English classes. Young teenargers today believe that the peices William Shakespeare wrote are irrelevant to them, and they are correct.

Macbeth and The Crucible: The Significant Effect of Witchcraft Witchcraft, which is an outdated practice from pre-Christianity and an indigenous tradition of the British Isles. It is a personal spiritual path practiced by different set of individuals in the quest to see the world for its true sacredness, within one's soul or in the presence of another's. An equally significant aspect of these two plays is their similarity and their captivating literature.
