10 Out Of 12 Analysis

Oxford dictionary defines the word “play” in relation to theatre as “a dramatic composition which is represented or performed in a theatrical performance or film” . Also known as drama, a play is principally meant to be performed on stage rather than be read as it brings a more active form of presentation. It also “provides an extra dimension of dynamism as the readers can visualise the characters enacting the dialogue and action of the play while the audience can see the actors perform live on stage” (Tutorial notes-Unit 1, 2017). As a short story or novel, a play especially tragedy, according to Aristotle (384-322 BC) contained six vital elements. It includes (in order of importance)

The actors used various exits to disappear from the stage

Throughout, Taymor uses visual effects to her advantage. Repeatedly, the stage is overcome by a large sheet, and on occasions, there are images projected onto it. The title is the first thing that appears after Puck’s ascent into the sheet. The scenes following are of the characters from Athens, or a broader term, the mortals.

Station Eleven is a story filled with many different plotlines and backstories, all intricately woven together to paint a fascinating image of life after the Georgia Flu pandemic. The character development is one of the most intriguing parts of the novel, as the reader is surprised again and again with the actions and connections of each figure. Many of the characters enter both as background members in some scenes and as main characters in others, so that their stories flow smoothly with the others. Two characters that this can be applied to are Tyler, Arthur’s son, and Kirsten, a child actor turned into a performer with a travelling groupe after the near-extinction of the human race. They both grew and developed out of this tragedy, being

In their play, Bottom wants to play all of the parts. The lion, moonlight, Pyramus, and Thisbe. His friends finally tell her to only play Pyramus, lover to Thisbe, in their upcoming play. They practice their play and once Bottom finishes, he leaves the stage coming back with a surprise. When he left, Robin, a fairy, turned Bottom’s head into a donkey’s head.

Thornton Wilder vastly relies on his characters to carry the action of the play, due to its lack of spectacle or visual representation of the town. The characters, such as Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs, Mr. and Mrs. Webb, George Gibbs, Emily Webb or the Stage Manager (who plays several roles) create a relatable world through their actions and emotions as humans in a “normal” everyday life in small-town New Hampshire in the early nineteen-hundreds. As our textbook, THEA 1030 Introduction to Theatre: Cohen’s Theatre, states, “[A character’s] potency in the theatre is measured by our interest in them as people.” Wilder does an outstanding job of making the characters relatable despite the time period in which they live or the small town they live in compared to the often crowded cities of today’s world. Thornton chooses protagonists to live out his story, with fate and human blindness being the only antagonistic characteristics of the play.

Play-scripts were manuscript and used as manuals to en-scene plays which were visually presented by actors for the purpose of entertaining and communicating implied meaning to an audience. Shakespeare’s play Macbeth was written during King Henry V’s reign over England, a historical context which emphasizes meaning to the basis of the play. Having read Shakespeare’s Macbeth and watched film director Justin Kurzel’s re-interpretation of the play starring Michael Fassbender we can identify dissimilarities and noticeable distinctions between the script and the movie. Through my analysis, I determined the main difference between the play-script and the movie to be the role of grief in influencing the actions of the main characters.

Good morning teacher and class, today I will be analysing Shakespeare’s “king lear” and studying its communication of the human experience. There are many interpretations of the elements which relate to the depiction of the human experience, ranging from thoughts and actions to significant events. these key themes shape an individual’s character and provide the framework which determines the very nature of our behaviours and responses. William Shakespeare’s “King Lear” skillfully explores the themes which define the human experience, Specifically that of loss and its many elements, and utilises various literary techniques to formulate a plot which embodies the characteristics of the human experience. Experiences of loss, in many forms, can

And Then There Were None, she fully combines suspense and surprise, through the omniscient point of view and poignant plot. Therefore, And Then There Were None is a well-written murder mystery. The omniscient point of view means the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story. (Abrams 233) Plot is the series of events that form the story of a novel, play, and film (Abrams 294).

Throughout literary work every reader will come across a theme, or themes, present. A theme is the central idea or ideas explored in a story. Each reader will decipher the themes of a story differently than another but open interpretation is what makes literature beautiful. One widely known literary work that I will write about is The Crucible, a play written by Arthur Miller. The play was not only inspired by the Salem witch trials that took place in Massachusetts in 1692 but the McCarthy trials during the 1950’s.
