Shakespeare’s revelation regarding equal rights shows in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and people who read/watch his play today can still realize what he realized so many decades ago. In order for the world to be balanced there needs to be contribution from women as well as men and the world today still needs to strive for making an even more equal environment. However, the world is indeed improving because what Shakespeare is saying about women would have greatly shocked the audience back then but in modern times the amount of support for his message has increased and will hopefully continue to
As a comic playwright, the idea of blind ignorance provided material for Moliere to work with. “The material for Tartuffe was artistically and dramatically excellent, popularly appealing, and psychologically fascinating, so there is small wonder that Moliere threw himself into the project of bringing it to the stage” (kctcs.edu). It was, however, difficult for Tartuffe to be performed due to its controversial subject matter. King Louis XIV had to intervene in order for the play to make it to the public
We see the best is brought out of Romeo as he is showing maternity and respect for his ‘Family.’ Overall, love is a marvelous force for good because it is everlasting through time and hardships, it brings people together, and it has the potential to bring the best out of people. Love outshines hate in ‘Romeo and Juliet’, disregarding the fact that it is labeled as a tragedy. In “Sonnet 116” true love is proven to be something that doesn't grow old or alter with us, but instead, it grows as more connections are made. The irresistible love read about in books and fairy tales and the movies we see about ‘Happily Ever Afters’, can be a dream come true after

The use of English with unique word usage is the key that separated William Shakespeare from other play writers. Shakespeare’s use of English words is a main reason how he was successful in attracting the attention of crowds during his plays. The English language has been advanced since William Shakespeare wrote plays because he introduced up to 1,700 original words into the English language. Dr. Seuss can be compared to Shakespeare because Dr. Seuss also made up many different words that set him apart from other children book authors. Even though many words that Dr. Seuss made up were absurd, he loved to entertain his
Power can change people in a matter of time Most people are focused on the cons in their life and how they can make them better, but what they don't realize is all the things they should be grateful for. Their desire for power caused lady Macbeth and Macbeth to make sinister decisions that caused their downfall. In this play, Shakespeare demonstrates clear evidence of innocence through their actions of the first act. To begin, Macbeth’s courageous actions led to Captain with a good impression.
Characters make stories interesting. Some are more important than others. This creates the contrast between major and minor characters. However, some characters are important but don’t occur often enough to be considered a major character. The one that fits best is Mercutio from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”
This has shown that if one can be manipulated too easily, it can cause for some serious problems and consequences. Brutus is such an easy example because his devout loyalty to Rome and the simple fact that he would do anything for Rome leaves him open to numerous chances of manipulation. Shakespeare then proceeds to use Caesar to show that someone high and mighty can sometimes get so caught up in everything, and themselves, that they do not see the consequences of their actions and choose to believe and not believe what they want. The Romans are then the epitome of being easily manipulated. Manipulation is everywhere; it is a part of everyone 's lives and always will
Juliet’s soliloquy is significant in this scene because that is where, Shakespeare breaks the tradition for soliloquies, which are usually speeches where a character shares their inner thoughts only with the audience. However, Romeo overhears Juliet's soliloquy, making an invasion, on one hand, but it also serves as a reminder of their intimacy, because Juliet both allows and cherishes Romeo's interruption, reminding the audience how honest and open the two are with each other, and how if they can trust anyone, then it would be each other. That holds the audience’s attention because their love is not traditional, where they would take a while to get used to each other, but instead they truly listen and understand each
Importance of Dreams As the title indicates, dreams are an important theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A dream is not real, although it does seem real when we experience it. Shakespeare seems to be interested in the workings of dreams.
The Bells” and Romeo and Juliet were written two hundred and fifty-three years apart. Both of these stories are still read today. Romeo and Juliet even gained stereotypes like a balcony possibly being in the story and Romeo around the same age as Juliet. That is assuming they are not the same age.
