Literature Like A Professor And The Character Speech In Shakespeare's Henry VIII

In order for a piece of literature to live on throughout time, there has to be an element that makes it stick with you. There has to be something that makes you think about the book days after you have read it. Edith Wharton uses character archetypes in her novel Ethan Frome to do this. The use of common types of characters makes you relate the piece of literature to others you have read before, or even relate them to yourself. Wharton purposely does this with Ethan, Mattie, and Zeena for that reason.

These are three reasons to support my believe that Edward de Vere is William Shakespeare are: his aristocratic background ,travels throughout Italy and The first reason his aristocratic background makes me think that he must be highly educated person. He can playwright a lot with the beautiful language and he also knows the level of vocabulary The second reason his travels throughout Italy it makes me think He has a detailed knowledge of Italian society and politics.

One central idea from the interview is that everyone should be given an opportunity to have a quality education regardless of their circumstances. The maximum security prisoners had the greatest need for an education, but they had the least available to them. Laura Bates came into the maximum security unit and offered them a program based on Shakespeare. Another central idea from the interview is that everyone has a fighting chance to turn their life around despite an awful situation. Larry was at the point of suicide before Laura Bates knocked on his cell door.

Michael Prestwich in his book Medieval People courageously attempts to encapsulate in few pages the early life, as well as the contribution of the Pope Urban II in the reform of the Catholic church and the creation of the first crusades, yet he fails to quote the Pope himself with regard to his speech with the reference to the Christian Holy War against Islam. Such an important missing element demonstrates his prejudice toward Christianity. In particular, Prestwich begins his brief chapter on the life of the Pope Urban II by recalling his contribution to the Crusades. Also, he provides an incisive background of the expansion of the Muslims and the Byzantine empire before the creation and the rise of the crusades.

Those of nobility tend to be depicted as perfect individuals, characters who have very desirable characteristics and little flaws. In other words, these characters are idealized and perfect (following the character archetype of Mary Sue/Gary Stu). This was not the case in The King’s Speech. In the film, rather than treating Bertie more as a member of royalty, they treat him more like an ordinary person. At times, the viewer see’s the protagonist as Bertie, and not the Duke of York nor King George VI.

Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men contains a plethora of ubiquitous themes and tropes; it espouses disparate motifs such as corruption, fragmentation, and nihilism. However, the most conspicuous subject that is touched upon is that of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The paramount thematic concepts of Christian theology throughout the novel are explicated by use of literary devices such as diction, imagery, and tone; moreover, these convictions are hypostatized through Willie Stark, Jack Burden, and Tiny Duffy. In the first instance, one can see apposite connections with cut-throat governor Willie Stark and the benevolent Son of God: Jesus Christ.

My translated journal involves people and places that are non-fictional, others that are fictional but based off of non-fictional models, and some that are completely fictional. William, the main protagonist and the journal’s keeper, falls under the second category. Basing the main character off of a real person—such as the illegitimate children of Henry I—allowed me to get a good grounding for the backstory, setting, and the conflicts that the character may struggle with. I attempted to make William seem like a normal person and yet I focused too heavily on the plot rather than his expression of emotions. Luckily, the majority of the story’s plot occurs over a relatively short time span in which a lot of personal growth for William happens; the shifting of the setting, addition of characters, and rapidly occurring events allow the reader to have a deeper connection with William even though the he is a rather superficial character.

The Colorful Language of Shakespeare’s King Richard II A great portion of Gaunt’s dialogue throughout the play makes strong reference to God. For instance, his philosophical, holy dialect in the play is first evident in the conversation between the Duchess of Gloucester as her emotions are heightened in regard to her husband’s death (Bevington, 2014). Gaunt then speaks more in-depth about Richard’s incompetent ways of ruling in a conversation with York, and he describes Richards leadership in England by utilizing a colorful analogy of a garden and the ways of nature.

Pirandello uses the theme of madness at its best that make the audience Enjoy this creativity of madness. From the beginning until the end, the play presents the “false masks”, not just the masks but also the wearing of other masks under these masks. The characters do not only wear masks to hide their own identity in the play like everyone else in the life, but also forced to wear other masks to join the plan in the imperial house (Paolucci, 1974). As already noticed, the main character in the play “Henry IV” is unnamed Italian aristocrat old man.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, a novel written by Mark Twain, often depicts armor as protection and a sign of nobility in King Arthur’s sixth-century Europe. The armor used for protection often times does not work during the book and many die while wearing it. Hank Morgan tries wearing armor, and decides never to wear it again because of the tremendous uncomfort and the way the armor makes him feel trapped, both mentally and physically. Despite showing tremendous protection and fortitude, armor often times traps an individual’s humanity and lacks proper defense.
