Drama Analysis for the Unchaperone
Wanted a Chaperone
Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero

Analysis: One Sunday morning 11 o clock in the morning, at Don Francisco and Doña Petra’s house, they have two children named Nena (their daughter) and Roberting (their son) both of them attend some party last night without any chaperone, So their father who is angry because of generation gap. Because in their time any teenager should have at least one chaperone every time he/she goes to a party or somewhere which is far from home. During the morning Don Francisco was so mad of his son and daughter because he doesn’t know that they go out without chaperone. In the story it feels like Don Francisco was always mad he is lecturing his son who is asking to lend him money to be used for his date with his girlfriend, he is also mad at his daughter who go to party also don’t have chaperone and still sleeping at this time of the day, in addition to that their muchacho (a maid who is a boy) have the same name as his. As the play goes on Nena woke up and as a father Don Francisco ask why she go out without chaperone, she only answer the she’s well educated and know what to do which is supported by her mother and her mother also trust her daughter that she will not do anything bad. As the play goes on it makes me laugh because some words are in Spanish and I ask my mother what is the meaning of that word and I ask myself is that very huge generation gap?. *Back to the Play* and while the family eating Dolores (a wealth person) with Fred (the boy who is with Nena during the party) make a ruckus because Dolores know that Don Francisco allow Nena to go without chaperon they are almost shouting at the top of their lungs what the other people see. Because Doña Dolores is a wealthy person she is thinking of what will happen to his reputation so she is forcing Nena to tell what really happen at the party. But Nena insisted that there’s nothing happen he just left his Fred because of his stupidity and go home with his friends and so

    Loyalty In Don Chipote

    • 1240 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Here, the novel reveals the unequal friendship between Don Chipote and Pitacio by displaying Pitacio’s exploitment of his host’s generosity. For example, Don Chipote offers his friend hospitality along with food and shelter as a testament to his kindness. Instead of expressing appreciation for this gracious gesture, Pitacio takes advantage of the situation in order to benefit himself. The fact that he tells lies to his friend in order to receive food for the coming days makes matters worse since he intentionally misleads Don Chipote. This dishonesty damages the friendship between the two characters because one side is using the other person for personal gain. In this example, the text highlights the negative trait of dishonesty and manipulation that constitute a faulty and unequal friendship. In addition to the negative traits of dishonesty and manipulation, Pitacio exhibits unreliability in keeping his promises. One could argue that by Pitacio staying behind in Mexico to help Don Chipote’s family while Don Chipote is away, he exhibits good friend characteristics. However, the text undermines this opinion when it notes that “[g]ood buddy Pitacio was more than happy to do this—for the first few months” (Venegas 129). In this moment, the text…

    According to M.H. Abrahms, dramatic monologue is a poetic form, "a lengthy speech by a single person", addressing a silent listener, intended to convey his or her inner thoughts and emotions. It can be rewritten in jargonised terms as 'a cross or hybrid of the genres of drama and lyric'. A lyric poem is ‘any fairly short poem, consisting of the utterance by a single speaker, who expresses a state of mind or a process of perception, thought, and feeling’. Though, the invention of the form remains unknown, it was widely practiced widely by poets of the Victorian era like Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson in"Ulysses", Dante and recent poets like Ezra Pound's "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter", Amy Lowell, Robert Frost's "The Pauper Witch of Grafton", T.S. Eliot's "Love Song of J". Alfred Prufrock, Robert Hayden's "Night, Death, Mississippi" and other poets of the twentieth century.…

    In reading this play my first thought in seeing the title I assumed the play was about a doll house. In reality the title had more to do with the life of Nora Helmer. The title represents Nora’s treatment from her husband. The husband Torvald treated Nora as a child with no mind and intelligence. His pet names for her in the beginning demonstrated this. His lack of accepting her as an equal was also demonstrated in his ability to see that Nora was a smart woman and could see and do things for herself. Ibsen used many strategies to get this point across. In one of his strategies he takes a common housewife and made her secretly intelligent he uses metaphors and Irony. In applying that Nora was treated like a doll in her perfect Doll house was really stating that Nora was treated like a doll in her husband’s house. For example Torvalds used pet names for his wife giving her the appearance of a doll. In using Irony Ibsen strategy was to state that what goes around comes around. For example the Irony of Krogstad and his forging of documents and that of Nora forging documents and the reality that both might lose their jobs, his being at the bank and hers being a mother and wife.…

    "It's about my boy Jose," he wrote. "He's in the sixth grade now." He didn't add that Jose had had to miss a year of school since coming here to Mindoro. "Since he's quite a poor hand at looking after your carabaos, I thought it would be best that he go to school in the town. "This boy Jose, compadre," he wrote, "is quite an industrious lad. If only you can make him do anything you wish, any work. He can cook rice, and I'm sure he'd do well washing dishes." And I wish you would treat Jose as you would your own son, compadre. You may beat him if he does something wrong. Indeed, I want him to look up to you as a second father."About six o'clock the following morning, a boy of twelve was riding a carabao along the riverbed road to town. He made a very puny load on the carabao's broad back. Walking close behind the carabao, the father accompanied him as far as the bend of the riverbed. When the beast hesitated to cross the small rivulet that cut the road as it passed a clump of bamboo, the man picked up a stick and prodded the animal. Then he handed the stick to the boy, as one might give a precious gift.…

    Characteristics of Drama

    The origins of Western drama can be traced to the celebratory music of 6th-century BC Attica, the Greek region centered on Athens. Although accounts of this period are inadequate, it appears that the poet Thespis developed a new musical form in which he impersonated a single character and engaged a chorus of singer-dancers in dialogue. As the first composer and soloist in this new form, which came to be known as tragedy, Thespis can be considered both the first dramatist and the first actor. Of the hundreds of works produced by Greek tragic playwrights, only 32 plays by the three major innovators in this new art form survive. Aeschylus created the possibility of developing conflict between characters by introducing a second actor into the format. His seven surviving plays, three of which constitute the only extant trilogy are richly ambiguous inquiries into the paradoxical relationship between humans and the cosmos, in which people are made answerable for their acts, yet recognize that these acts are determined by the gods.…
