God Of Carnage Analysis

God of Carnage (Rough Draft)

The central theme that I got out of God of Carnage was how uncivilized we are as humans. Two couples meet to discuss an altercation between their kids and nothing gets solved. There is total mayhem between the two families and the more they stay around each other the worse the behavior gets. As soon as people disagree they can not stand being told their views are wrong. I did not experience any emotional moments throughout the play. It was more of a dark comedy throughout. The Raleigh family were dressed in very nice clothes. The husband was in a suit and the wife was in a seemingly expensive dress. This would give off a sense of sophistication, which at times were there and at others, the maturity was nowhere to be found. The acting was phenomenal in God of Carnage. The acting definitely supported the characters state of mind. Alan Raleigh was clearly irritated with everything that was going on between his business life, his son, and the other adults in the room with him.

Mrs. Novak went a little crazy towards the end and Maren did a solid job at playing an annoying mother who …show more content…

Her attitude towards nearly everything bothered me tremendously. I would if it was the only role I could get, but I would rather not be the character that is meant to piss everyone off. If you can play that role well enough people can dislike you. For example ever since I was young I have hated the actor Sam Rockwell because he played the antagonist in The Green Mile so well. I disliked him until Seven Psychopaths came out and I realized he was such a good actor that I looked at him as the character he played. God of Carnage was a great play and I am very happy I went. Every actor impressed me and I give kudos to Evan Turissini for directing God of

  • Macbeth Manhood Quotes Analysis

    Manhood is defined as the state or period of being a man rather than a child. The whole Macbeth play is surrounded by manhood. Macbeth was always trying to prove his manhood he always wanted to be the man and the boss of everything and everyone. He made it so difficult for other people to show their manhood and most of the ones that expressed their manhood were killed. Macbeth was the definition of a “man” wanting to control everyone all the time from the citizens of Scotland to his wife, I believe that in that time period it was so common for men to be controlling and bossy and Macbeth always tried to show that there was no one like him and he was not scared to demonstrate how far he could go to let everyone know that he was the boss, he was willing to kill.
