...as a man and she will be working with the Duke Orsino. He has been in love with Olivia for a long time, and he asks Viola to be his messenger. Viola goes to meet Olivia and tells her everything Orsino told her too. Orsino also sent a ring with Viola to give to Olivia, which she did. As she leaves, Olivia realizes that she has fallen in love with her, even though she has no idea she is a woman dressed as a man. She sends Malvolio after her to give her the ring back. She then goes into a long monologue about the ring and how confused she was that she had gotten it back. A monologue is any composition in which a single person speaks alone (dictionary.com) In her monologue, it is clear that Olivia is falling in love with Viola, and that they are caught in the middle of one huge love triangle. Throughout Viola’s monologue, she depicts many different literary elements, including allusion, metaphor, personification, symbolism, and theme. When Malvolio brings back the ring that Viola had given Olivia, she becomes very confused. In her monologue, she is basically saying that she didn’t leave a ring with her, why is she giving this to her? She is hoping that Olivia hasn’t started to like her. She was looking at Viola so much that she couldn’t even finish her sentences and she seemed distracted. She thinks that Olivia loves her. She sent a very mean messenger back to Viola instead of coming herself. Viola doesn’t want Orsino’s ring. Orsino never even sent her a ring. Olivia wants Viola....

...The Shakespearean comedy, Much Ado about Nothing encompasses themes such as the importance of honour, the ideal of social grace, nevertheless uses a plot which primarily revolves around the theme of deception re occurring in various forms. On one hand deception is used throughout Much Ado About Nothing in a malicious manner, however on the on the hand it can be portrayed in a benevolent and beneficial manner such as the fooling of Beatrice and Benedick and deceiving them into proclaiming their love for each other. The use of both forms of deception often makes it difficult to distinguish between the two, such as when Claudio announces his desire to woo Hero, however Don Pedro takes it upon himself to woo her for Claudio. However Shakespeare’s use of deception is neither completely a means of malice nor a mean of showing traits of kindness between characters, the use of deception aids the development of the plot and creates a path for other elements necessary in the play such as its comical elements. The plot of Much Ado About Nothing centrals around misunderstanding, as during the Elizabethan era “Nothing” was pronounced “Noting”, meaning to observe, to take notice of or to write something down – take note of something, as the reader learns the play revolves around observation and surveying, however often these ‘notings’ are not continuously accurate, they are often misinterpreted or misunderstood and also misreported. The title highlights the idea of how lack of careful noting...

...Brock Bilger ENGL 102 Research Paper October 14, 2011 Outline: I. The introduction and brief statement about the drama II. Discuses the theme of the paper and how it relates to the drama III. The Tragic hero definition and how that applies to the play IV. The big revaltion in the play that Oedipus sees V. Talk about Apollos power and the meaning of that and conclude to paper with that. The first criterion of a Greek tragedy is that the protagonist be a good person; doubly blessed with a good heart and noble intention. Sophocles reveals immediately at the start of the play that Oedipus is such a man. As is common in the Greek tragedy Oedipus is also an aristocrat. Born of the King and Queen of Thebes he is of true nobility. Oedipus on the other-hand believes his parents are the King and Queen of Corinth. Oedipus was abandoned as a baby and adopted by them. Because that information is known to the audience and not to Oedipus prior to the start of the play, it is a perfect example of tragic irony because when he declares that he will find the murderer he is the man that he pursues. Here he is told by Tiresias,” I say you are the murderer you hunt” (1235). The theme of Oedipus the King is not clear-cut. The theme in this tragic play seems to be you can‘t escape your fate. Contentment leads to ignorance as Oedipus lends fate a hand in his bitter end. This trait is touched-on in these lines spoken by Creon. “Look at you, sullen in yielding, brutal in...

...acceptance. He does not think the topic of good deeds alone will gain the attention of an audience. The fear of dying is a proven success and provides an interesting plot for the play. “HERE BEGINNETH A TREATISE HOW THE HIGH FATHER OF HEAVEN SENDETH DEATH TO SUMMON EVERY CREATURE- TO COME AND GIVE ACCOUNT OF THEIR LIVES IN THIS WORLD, AND IS IN MANNER OF MORAL PLAY.” The imagery can be pictured by simply reading the plays Treatise. The bold capital letters suggest a penetrating, deep, angry taunting voice. The author is the omniscient narrator to his play. He begins to address the audience with the use of a messenger. The messenger comes across as a southern Baptist preacher on a Sunday morning. Tanner of Humor in Everyman and the Middle English Morality Play said “short of sermons, no other form of literature is so unequivocally preachy” (149). The moral based theme has led some to believe the author may have been a cleric of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church of the 15th century emphasized good works. Missionaries preached to the public while doing good deeds such as serving food to the hungry. Not everyone believed in the idea of good deeds to get into heaven. Keene, Cornell and O’donnell stated “Rejecting the Catholic Church’s focus on good works as the key to...

...Five Pillars of Islam Islamic religion is described as a derivative of the Christian and Jewish faith. In that light the “Five Pillars” of the Islam religion can be seen as closely related to or similar to the basics of both of them. The first belief of Islam religion as indicated by the first of the Five Pillars is that there is only one God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God. In this principle of the religion, followers of Islam must worship only one God and pass on their beliefs in an unforceful way to allow non-followers the right to make a choice to follow on their own. The second of the Five Pillars is the belief that daily prayers and worship to God are essential in keeping the follower faith strong. Followers participate in synchronized prayer sessions each day and separate the men from the women in order to allow each follower their own space with God devoid of any distractions. A common theme in the belief system of Islam is the knowledge that you are not above any other follower in any way. The third pillar, known as the Zakat, is the belief and instruction that the prayers of the people are only accepted if the followers also share their wealth with others. This prevents any separation of the people based on wealth as well as any kind of selfishness. (Fisher, 2014) Islam religion states that your relationship with the one and only God is always of the utmost importance. Based on that the fourth pillar, which is fasting, is incorporated in the religion to...

...Twelfth Night is a magnificent comedy written by famous writer William Shakespeare. Twelfth Night or What you will was probably written for performance on the Twelfth Night i.e. the last night of the Christmas holiday ,January 6th in the year 1601.it is also likely that it was first presented before queen Elizabeth I in a great hall of her palace of Whitchali ,just outside London. the play would suit such an occasion since it’s a delightful ,lighthearted comedy ,full of love and laughter ,and with only a cloud or two to pass across the happy sunshine. But what about the social background of the play? For many centuries Christian communities have celebrated the feast of Epiphany-the time when the infant Jesus was first presented to the Magi (wise men) twelve days after his birth on Christmas day .in Shakespeare’s time; this whole period from 25th December to 6th January was given over to ‘Yuletide revels’-a time of feasting and celebration which probably dates back to Roman Satumalin. During this extended partying, it was traditional to play tricks on people, and it was understood that, for a while the usual master-servant relationship were turned on their heads. Twelfth Night was a period of carnival in which typically: a. People might give away to bodily pleasures of all kinds (drinking too much, indulging in sex, over eating and many more). b. Language itself seemed to run riot (with jokes, nonsense and wit). c. The traditional hierarchies (the lord and lady ‘at the top’...

...Affairs Council, the conference sought to build relationships between the Muslims, interfaith committees and labor communities. Referencing heavily from the Holy Qur’an and the life of Prophet Muhammad, several Muslim Imams (leaders) discussed worker justice, the connection between faith and works, class and gender equality, and the responsibility of employers. The essence of their remarks can be summed up in one sentence uttered by Prophet Muhammad to his companions about 1400 years ago: “None of you has faith unless you love for your brother what you love for yourself.” The Imams pledged to work with organized labor to secure economic justice for low-wage workers in America. This booklet is a result of the dialogue and highlights key themes discussed during the conference. Standing Together for Worker Justice In...

...elements therefore have a great impact on the amount of dramatic irony presented in the play. This dramatic irony contributes to the comedic effect of the play. The first example of dramatic irony disguise of Viola, who is saved after being shipwrecked by a captain who puts in to shore on Illyria. After learning that the captain knows the Duke of Illyria, Viola asks him to disguise her as a eunuch so that she may work for the Duke. In this disguise, that only the audience is aware of Viola is better able to perceive the true nature of the characters as they confide in Cesario, her male disguise. While working for the Duke, she is sent as a messenger to express Orsino’s love for Olivia. However, Viola who is actually in love with the Duke, says in an aside after telling the Duke; “I’ll do my best to woo your lady, Yet a barful strife! Whoe'er I woo, myself would be his wife. “(1.5.41-42) The original love connection of the...

...studied. Love is presented through the use of characters, themes, linguistic, structural and contextual references. That pieces are ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written by William Shakespeare, ‘Sonnet 116’ by William Shakespeare again, ‘Sonnet 43’ by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, ‘Sonnet 130’ by Shakespeare and also ‘Sonnet 18’ again by Shakespeare. They were all written in the time that was considered the Elizabethan Era. A religious theme is set in both Romeo and Juliet and sonnet 43 to convey the attitudes to love. In Romeo and Juliet the theme of religion is used to express their love between each other and suggesting it is similar to religion can impose that it is a life-long commitment and will always be there even if they lose faith. At that time their attitude towards religion was very strong and it was their integral, which links to the love between Romeo and Juliet that now they have found it fully they will be part of each other’s’ lives for eternity. In Act 2, scene 2 Romeo states that Juliet’s eyes were “Two of the fairest stars in all of heaven” this is conveying that Juliet is angelic. Angels are referred to as innocent, Godly, pure and a good person; so although Romeo does not know a lot about her or even spoken to Juliet he is still portraying her as someone who is greatly looked up to and has, in the eyes of a religious person, the huge authority as they are seated with God. Romeo describes Juliet as a “messenger of heaven” and in religious terms suggests that she is angelic...

...Waiting for Godot has been my main thought for about two hours now. While considering the work, its author, and the comments I have found about the play, I have come up with three hypotheses as to the meaning and theme. As I will explain my three hypotheses in my next few paragraphs, I would like to put forth my most accepted theory, and the answer that Samuel Beckett, the author of the play, put forth when questioned about the meaning of his strange little piece. I think many people put this theory forth as the true meaning of Waiting, and there are many aspects of it by which they can make their point. The most obvious is the title character, Godot, because the root word of the name is God. The many references to Christianity also create a close connection between the storyline and many important stories from the Bible. From the very beginning Vladimir and Estragon think about their salvation, consider death, and draw a parallel between themselves and the two thieves that were crucified along with Jesus, according to the Gospels. The general attitude expressed throughout the play is the hopelessness, or maybe the meaningless-ness of life. A good example of the hopelessness I am talking about is on page 3 when Vladimir is searching through his hat and says “Sometimes I feel it coming all the same. Then I go all queer. How Shall I say? Relieved and at the same time… appalled. AP-PALLED. Funny. Nothing to be done. Well?” and following Vladimir saying this...

...The word family brings all kinds of thoughts into a person’s mind. Family can stand for anything that has to do with a group of people that have something in common. Most people believe family has to do with blood related people or people who enter a family through marriage but there is much more to the word family than that. A family can range from two people to just about any amount of people. A family is not just started from a mother and father, a family can be teammates, fans of a specific team, people that share a common interest, or any other way of collecting people into groups known as families. In the art gallery there are a variety of ways that family is represented but there were two pieces that grabbed my attention. The first piece of art that represented family to me was by the artist Stefan Abrams. The artwork was named Dopplegangers and it was composed of seven photographs stacked on top of one another which were about two feet in width and nine feet in height. In the pictures were two people that looked similar, wore similar clothes, were doing the same action, or were fans of the same sports team. That represents family because you do not need to be brothers to be family, you can be friends that share a common interest and you are a family. All of the New York Yankee fans in this world are all a family because they cheer for the same team and when they win everyone is happy and when they lose everyone is hurt. In the expression, “you win as a team, and lose...

...In the opening monologue of Richard III, Richard proclaims one of the most famous lines of the play: “I am determined to prove a villain” (Shakespeare, 11). Because of this direct address of Richard’s intentions, the audience is never left questioning why he commits the atrocities he does throughout the course of the play. Although Richard is undoubtedly evil, each viewer’s criteria for what constitutes this characteristic differs, so Shakespeare attempts to make Richard a universally evil character by giving him multiple unforgivable attributes. According to Shakespeare evil is defined by actions that benefit the perpetrator and cause harm to others, specifically in instances that would impact familial and English societal order. Losing a family member is akin to losing part of oneself....
