opening scene of ‘Hamlet’ and the Banquet scene in ‘Macbeth’. They both contain the appearance of a supernatural being‚ in both cases‚ a ghost. He uses the appearance of these characters to appeal to the audience in different ways. The response would definitely vary from groundlings‚ the audience members that pay very little for their tickets and stand beneath stage level‚ to the stands‚ higher caste people which occupy the higher stands with clearer view of the stage and therefore more expensive

Shakespeare portrays Claudio and Hero as a pair of conventional lovers who go through an unadventurous and predictive courtship.

The characters in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon create only fear and no pity in each other and in the audience.’ How far do you agree with this statement? I agree with this statement to a certain extent‚ however‚ I think it does not represent the whole of the Agamemnon.

The hypodermic syringe model is a theory of media effect on audience. The term is used to describe interaction between the media and public belief‚ offering the concept of people becoming affected by the information ’injected’ into them through their information medium. (For example‚ television viewers would have their minds injected with sex and violence after watching too many graphically violent programmes‚ and this would affect their views and behaviour).

Othello’s opening scene has an overall negative impact on the audience in the form of shock as some rather crude language; such as ”zounds”‚ “tush”‚ “’Sblood”; opens the play. This scene sets the premise for the play and tells us of Othello and Desdemona’s elopement‚ and the betrayal of Brabantio. The opening scene occurs at nightfall to a conversation between two men; Roderigo and Iago on a street outside the house of Brabantio‚ a man who‚ unbeknownst to his‚ has just lost his daughter to a man

Memories are powerful. They tell us where we come from‚ who we are‚ we learn from them‚ we tell stories about them‚ we forget them and we are scarred by them. Los Niños Perdidos by Laila Ripoll uses four young characters to explore the many elements of remembrance and coming to terms with the past. She explores the pains endured by Spain’s generation of “Lost Children”‚ many of whom are still unsure of their identity‚ following Spain’s civil war. The 1st April 1939 is the official date that the
