In the middle of the room, a round table with chairs set about it, and books, magazines and newspapers upon it. In the foreground on the left, a window, by which is a small sofa with a work-table in front of it. At the back the room opens into a conservatory rather smaller than the room. From the right-hand side of this, a door leads to the garden. Through the large panes of glass that form the outer wall of the conservatory, a gloomy fjord landscape can be discerned, half-obscured by steady rain. ENGSTRAND is standing close

    I think I must have fallen asleep only a few moments after putting the lamp out and slept quite deeply too, for when I awoke – or was awakened – very suddenly, I felt somewhat stunned, uncertain, for a second or two, where I was and why. I saw that it was quite dark but once my eyes were fully focused I saw the moonlight coming in through the windows, for I had left the rather heavy, thick-looking curtains undrawn and the window slightly ajar. The moon fell upon the embroidered counterpane and on the dark wood of wardrobe and chest and mirror with a cold but rather beautiful light, and I thought that I would get out of bed and look at the marshes and the estuary from the window.…

    The smallest doorway I ever stepped through was less than one inch high, and the gabled cottage surrounding it was only eight inches at the top of its peaked, shingled roof. Carved from a single piece of dark stained mahogany, the cottage was one of a pair of bookends belonging to my mother. If I gazed for a time at the intricate carving, I could view the cottage’s lead-paned windows at eye level, feel the rough leaves of shrubbery against my legs, and glance up at the dormer bedroom upstairs and the gable window far overhead. I could hear the wind shake the ivy against the side of the cottage, catch the tang of petunias blooming in the window box, sense the entry’s stone steps beneath my feet, as I reached out to open the latch and step inside.…

    The play starts out with Oswald Alving returning home to visit his mother one of the few times he has visited since leaving home as a young boy. He was sent away to prevent him from becoming morally tainted by his father, Captain Alving, who later died of syphilis. Manders, the mother's former lover, also visits and tells off Mrs. Alving for not living a more conventional life and having an education. In the play, Oswald reveals that he is also suffering from syphilis and will inevitably develop dementia. It is implied that he has gotten syphilis from his father's promiscuous life, and that he is paying for his fathers sins. To make up for the past and to prove her love, Oswald asks his mother to give him a fatal dose of morphine when signs of dementia appear. At the end of the play it is not clear what she will do.…

    Bibliography: 1. The drama of Ibsen and Strindberg was consisted a good critical analysis over A Doll’s House that helped me in understanding Ibsen’s views as well as an outside source. I was able to easily find facts and normative statements that helped my writing of this essay go a lot smoother. The point of this book is to break down the elements and get into the author’s head to understand his views while also being critical. It helped change my opinion of the author by gathering information I didn’t already know and hopefully made my information more or less accurate.…

    Although many different positions could be taken on writing an essay for this Shakespearian play, the author took it upon himself to write about Hamlet's grief. His grief is obvious from the beginning of the play and he continues to grieve althroughout the play. Within his twenty-one-page essay, I chose this line to represent that I agree with his outlook on the play. "…his focus is on his grief and the profound impact in which the ghost has upon it.

    From it’s outset, the play establishes uncertainty through the interrogative dialogue between Barnardo, Marcellus and Horatio. “Whos there” … “Nay Stand and unfold yourself” … “what, is Horatio there” … “A piece of him” Having established a mood of fear and uncertainty, the apparition of a ghost sees Horatio state “It harrows me with fear and Wonder”. This Antithetical placement of words heightens the paranormal and eerie setting of the play. The “portentous” Ghost acts as an omen for what is to come.…

    A theme present in Hamlet still holding relevance in today’s world is the Impossibility of certainty, every action carried out in life is in essence a risk. This value is explored in the initial act of the play (Act 1, Scene 4) after Hamlet is confronted by the Ghost of his father and former King of Denmark and informed that he did not in fact die of natural causes, but was murdered by his brother Claudius. Hamlet, now set the task of avenging his father’s death, is uncertain of the Ghosts credibility. Hamlet is posed with the question of whether or not the Ghost is genuine or a fiend – “Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damned?” The…

    One of Hamlet’s crucial characters for the development of the story was the Ghost. Many would argue whether the Ghost, “Hamlet’s father”, was an illusion or an evil spirit. Throughout the play there is no clear sign that proves that the ghost was evil. However, some scenes in the play might lead us to believe that in fact the ghost was evil. Some people would argue that the destruction of Denmark was caused by the ghost due to the psychotic impact that his confessions cause to Hamlet.…

Some interesting facts about this castle is that the owner had hanged himself in the house. Along with the hanging other individuals have died in the house. The team investigates to see if they can debunk any of the reported occurrences. The Ghost Hunter team wires the castle/restaurant with video surveillance equipment. By doing this they can go back and view the tapes to see if they had caught anything on camera that they couldn’t see while doing the investigation. Once the house has been wired they turn off all the lights and start to try to make contact with any ghosts that may be present in the building. The owner of the restaurant claimed that a kitchen door opened and closed by itself and that several employees had witnessed this. The team debunked that by proving that opening another door in the kitchen caused such a pressure in the room that they swinging door would move back and forth. The team also used an Emf device which stands for electromagnetic field. Emf devices make it possible to locate and track energy sources. It detects fluctuations and spikes in electromagnetic fields. The team does pick up some high emf readings in the basement. This lets the team know that there are high levels of energy readings in the basement. The team also used a voice recorder during their investigation. During the viewing of all their evidence the team noticed that a deep voice was picked up on the tape recorder. Any possibilities that this could be a team member were thrown out because everything was videotaped.…

    The events of this extract are set in an isolated laboratory, possibly located on an island, in Europe. The laboratory itself is situated by the seaside, which is made clear by the line: ‘A few fishing vessels alone speckled the water’. In this context, the laboratory setting conveys an eerie atmosphere because the narrator is working on an abnormal experiment; his work is for his own purposes rather than for the good of mankind. In fact, his work may very well be the opposite. The setting of the passage provides a cold, gloomy atmosphere which complements the dark and foreboding nature of the story.…

    Ghosts, by Henrik Ibsen, is a realist drama written in 19th century Norway. The social context of this time meant his play was seen as a radial piece and theaters often refused to play it, afraid of backlash from the conservative Lutheran community. This is due to the boundaries of class and gender which are constantly challenged throughout this play, in both a historical and modern context. In respect to class, this is achieved primarily through the use of characterization and a fundamental theme of deceit, which highlights the juxtaposition between different classes. In terms of gender, the challenging of traditional roles is created due to the confronting nature of many events depicted in this novel, particularly those surrounding euthanasia and character of Mrs. Alving. This is a prime example of how the challenged boundaries can be easily related to modern times as euthanasia is a controversial modern issue. This modern context once again helps to cement the ways in which boundaries are challenged constantly by Ibsen in his work. However, the issues of class mentioned in this drama relate directly towards the context of Ghosts.…
