On Stereotypes and Their Consumption Avenue Q, a Broadway production, has been both appraised and scrutinized for its brash sense of humor.

Society is built upon a grand scale of assumptions and misunderstandings, all of which tend to lead us in a path for the worst. There is, however, a remedy for our seemingly infinite list of problems that lead us to war, hate, and unrest. Unfortunately, this remedy is not very likely to be found because we have not been looking in the right places, which happen to be right beneath our noses. You see, we as a society have spent our lives writing books, directing movies, and painting murals, and yet we have overlooked our own genius; Footloose, The Breakfast Club, and Dirty Dancing. These three movies all share a common thread, and it’s not their epic soundtracks and classic ending scenes.

The Correlation Between Macbeth and Modern Entertainment The Tragedy of Macbeth was written with many themes along the same lines as themes we would see in movies, literature, and music found in our society today. For its time, it was accelerated way beyond any literature we would see written then with these new themes. Macbeth contained violence, inhumane murder, a woman driven role, ambition, and a looming sense of evil. Between the constant violence and the introduction of the lead female role, most works of film today are centered around what Macbeth brought to the table long ago. The main character of Macbeth was a man who was driven to prevail, he would not let anything or anyone get in his way until he accomplished his task.
For example, in Ms. Horigan’s handout one of the pros for Disney was that Disney portrays the importance of “being yourself” in their films. The handout mentions, “Aladdin and The Lion King, show children both the importance of being yourself and living up to your responsibilities.” Many viewers may not realize the real message being portrayed in Aladdin the first time watching it. In fact, Aladdin asks for a wish to make him a wealthy prince in order to woo Princess Jasmine’s father. Aladdin, in reality, is a lower class thief.
