In Twelfth Night‚ Shakespeare constantly alludes to the contrast between darkness and light by the use of secrets‚ mistaken identities and the contrast between sanity and insanity. With this motif Shakespeare shows us that if we act on first impressions without the true knowledge of the entity of the situation or character‚ then the misinformed motives will surely be in vain; and our efforts futile. Creating much dysfunction within the play‚ Viola’s manly disguise as Cesario creates confusion

verbal and structural rhythms converge to frame a sort of closure—though playing is never done‚ as the next and final verse suggests: “And we’ll strive to please you every day.” Bradley‚ having come to the end of an essay on Feste‚ extends Twelfth Night speculatively beyond the fool’s song‚ and imagines Shakespeare leaving the theater: the same Shakespeare who perhaps had hummed the old song‚ half-ruefully and half-cheerfully‚ to its accordant air‚ as he walked home alone to his lodging from the

Ignorance The play Twelfth Night encapsulates what it meant to be a man and women throughout the 16th century. The roles of each gender were set in stone‚ and one could not publicly cross over under any circumstances. During Shakespearean times women were not even allowed to portray themselves on stage‚ men played their roles instead. In my opinion Shakespeare uses the play to show the hypocrisy of the status quo that held people from expressing their true identity. Twelfth Night demonstrates that professions

Night In Night‚ Elie Wiesel used his words to describe his experiences in a way that evoked many emotions for me; those being upset‚ horrified‚ and outraged. To begin with‚ being upset (distraught) was one of the various emotions I felt while reading this memoir. Wiesel’s depiction of his first night in Birkenau was especially painful to read; his repetition of the phrase “Never shall I forget” is surely something I will never forget. He mentions flames he saw‚ the horrifying silence‚ the depravity

One of the worst times of suffering had to be during the Holocaust‚ and that is what Night is about; the suffering that one person dealt with during the Holocaust.
