Twelfth Night is known for being one of the finest romantic comedies of all time. The play begins with love at first sight‚ which then gradually transitions into a love triangle. However‚ it is kept light with the addition of the subplot. The movie version of the play Twelfth Night is fairly relative to the written version of the play‚ yet it did have some minor differences.

Spiegelman’s Maus II is a graphic novel and I believe Spiegelman chose this format because it is the only way to discuss the Holocaust while simultaneously conveying the impossibility of doing such a task. The Holocaust was such a horrific event that there is no way of truly representing it. Spiegelman realized that everything is a representation. He also realized that representing every aspect of the Holocaust was something that simply cannot be done. It is impossible to capture something free of

Both The Pianist and Maus offer different nuances about the roles of the Germans and the Jews in the Holocaust. Some may see only the Nazis as the killers in the Holocaust and not consider other circumstances. The Pianist and Maus offer different instances to show that collaborators‚ bystanders and rescuers provide a gray area between killers and victims. Bystanders were a major role in The Pianist. Those who stood by and watched wrongdoings were very present in the film. Not only just those who
