The Play "Amadeus" Is Mainly Concerned With The Destructive Nature Of Jealousy

... child”. It was this jealousy and the rage it inspired that caused Salieri to attempt to kill Mozart by starving him of work and students, and thus, money and food. If Salieri had not restricted the amount of work actually shown to the general public, then Mozart could have been wealthy, and quite possibly selected as the new Kapellmeister. Mozart doesn't understand the importance of pleasing members of the Viennese court. He has no comprehension of the value of money, for when he successfully earns any, he spends it on lavish food ...

Hamlet: Antiheroism In Hamlet

... the protagonist as a hero since the result of serving those interests may be the betterment of society or an environment. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the protagonist, Hamlet, is depicted as an antihero. One main factor which gives Hamlet such a label is that he draws sympathy, as well as admiration, from the reader since Hamlet feels the pain of losing his father along with the burden and obstacles in avenging his murder. Act four places a special emphasis on Hamlet's intelligence. In scene two, Hamlet is very insolent and rude t ...

Essy And Possy

... takes up nearly three pages of the play in itself. Though the sheer length of the speech is peculiar alone, the actual text is exceptionally bizarre. It is a seemingly senseless arabesque thoughts, nonsense and symbols; reminiscent of 'train-of-thought'-like style, associated largely with Beckett's contemporary James Joyce, and perhaps even more so with the style of a later author and thinker, the somtimes surreal William S. Burroughs and the "cut-up" method he employed. This deconstructed style could be argued to be either inferior to trad ...

Symbolistic Roleplaying

... character development. Without the distinct and precise group of specific traits of the characters, the play would certainly lose an amount of appreciation of some of its readers and audiences. This play is led by the Athenian leader, Lysistrata. She is in some ways quite liberal, but I think that the identification of these liberal traits are difficult to distinguish. Some of Lysistrata's liberal aspects are ideas such as feminine politics, justice, recognition, and determination. For example, Lysistrata is a woman who is always de ...

Stand By Me: Review

... and him. The song fades out when the screen fades in to when they were kids. Another example of this moodsetting is when Gordie enters his dead brother’s room. This tune is a sad and tear jerking. His brothers room was just as it was when he died and this reminded him of his brother. The tune stopped abruptly when his father came in and asked if he had found what he was looking for. The last example of moodsetting was when they found the dead body. This tune was played by a synthesizer. It was a very sad tune and was one that may h ...

Julius Caesar: Conspiracy Theory

... Brutus as he suffers from his misguided decision. How can any of the conspirators, except for the well intentioned and easily influenced Brutus, who plot against Caesar justify their actions without spouting on about "the common good, and the honor of Rome?" Most, if not all of them, seem to have the ability to gain from Caesar's demise. Even if they were all acting for the greater good, no man can be held accountable for crimes he might commit in the future. In a tragic play, the protagonist is plagued by a "fatal flaw" in his or her pe ...

The Merchant Of Venice: Hath Not A Jew Mercy?

... the original sixteenth century audience saw Shylock's religion as his biggest shortcoming. Our first glimpse of Shylock's character comes in Act I, scene 3, where Shylock reveals to the audience why he hates Antonio. The first reason he gives of why he hates Antonio is because he is a Christian. (I. iii. 43) This to the sixteenth century audience would be unreasonable, and this would evoke a sort of villainy towards Shylock. But a few moments later, the audience witnesses Shylock's speech about Antonio's abuses towards Shylock. (I. ...

Hamlet: Madman Or Misunderstood

... And so, without more circumstance at all, I hold it fit that we shake hands and part..." (Act I, scene V, lines 132-139). It seems as if there are two Hamlets in the play, one that is a "sensitive and ideal prince, and insane madman, who from an outburst of passion and rage slays Polonius with no feeling of remorse (Wallace). After Hamlet kills Polonius he will not tell anyone where the body is. Instead, he assumes his ironic state, which others perceive as madness. "Not where he eats, but where ‘a is eaten. A certain convocation of ...
