portraying her in Scene Three. Sandra: Of course. I can spare some time right now. What’s the issue? Mikaela: I have read the character list‚ and it describes Anna as a solemn and knowledgeable character. More specifically it states that Anna is “quiet‚ serious‚ highly intelligent and thoughtful. Compelled to tell her story.” I am just a bit worried that I am not capturing her as you intended when you composed her character. Sandra: Okay I think I can help you. In this scene‚ Anna is still developing

In Act 2 Scene 2‚ Lines 1 to 13 of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”‚ Shakespeare questions the reader about who in truth is controlling Macbeth‚ Lady Macbeth or himself. Shakespeare also makes us ponder if Lady Macbeth has a healthy ambition‚ that she herself controls‚ or if her ambition is controlling her. The three main themes of Evil‚ Ambition‚ and Macbeth-The Victim of Manipulation are heightened through the use of Positive and Negative Sleep Motifs‚ expressed in a negative context.

How does Act 1 Scene 1 succeed in arresting the audience’s attention and provide the exposition to the play? It is clear that Shakespeare was eager to set the scene and plant the audience in the world of the play with the opening word “Boatswain”. This first word immediately transports the audience on to the deck of the ship‚ ready for adventure. With the master’s second remark the audience finds itself in the eye of the storm. “We run ourselves aground”. The effect of these words on the audience

Scene Analysis – Act 3 Scene 1 Act 3‚ Scene 1 of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written by William Shakespeare outlines significant aspects within the play‚ such as the fate or destiny of Romeo and the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio. I will explore such themes of this momentous scene. The scene describes Benvolio and Mercutio wanting to retire due to the immense heat of the boiling sun‚ also implying that hot temperature would tend to create hot tempers! Although before doing so‚ they encounter Tybalt and

IAGO’S MANIPULATION Iago cites multiple and incompatible motives for wanting to destroy Othello. Earlier‚ he said he hates Othello because "the Moor" passed him over for a promotion but‚ here‚ he tells us he hates "the Moor" because he’s heard a rumor that Othello has been hooking up with Iago’s wife‚ Emilia‚ "twixt [Iago’s] sheets." It’s just not clear whether or not we‚ as an audience‚ can believe anything Iago has to say. From beginning to end Iago moves the characters of Othello as if they

How significant is Act 2 Scene 1 to the Taming of the Shrew as a whole and how does this scene contribute to the play’s comic potential? William Shakespeare’s romantic comedy ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ follows two rather different sisters and their fathers attempt to marry them off. Bianca is the beautiful sister‚ fair and virtuous‚ a symbol of purity backed up by the fact her name means white in Italian. Kate on the other hand is the older sister‚ foul and bad tempered‚ a women no man would

Story”~Taylor Swift R&J- Act 1 scene 5 To begin the comparison of this song and the play you need to understand that this song makes quite a bit of references even including the names Romeo and Juliet although some of the song is inaccurate Let’s start at the very beginning of the song “We were both young when I first saw you.” Indeed they were young with Juliet being two weeks from 14 and Romeo is around 16 and from the phrase “when I first saw you” I can guess this was act I scene 5 as this is the ball/party

Julius Caesar – Act 1 Scene 2 The scene I have drawn is act 1 scene 2 when the soothsayer approaches Julius Caesar. He tells him to “Beware of March 15th”. This is a significant scene to the play because he warned Caesar about the day of his death. This is important because it shows how he is arrogant and thinks he is superior to others by not listening to anyone’s opinions. “He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass!” (act 1‚ scene 2) this quote shows us that he did not want to talk to the soothsayer

Act 2 Scene 1 For this scene I chose the song “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers. I chose this song because it talks about how when you need a friend during bad times in your life to help you‚ they’ll be there. A quotation from the song that proves this is: ”Lean on me‚ when you’re not strong And I’ll be your friend‚ I’ll help you carry on.” this connects to the scene because Sebastian needed someone to be there for him to help him in his time of need and sorrow. Antonio offers to help Sebastian even though
