My observation of the shakespeare love's labor's lost at the quiescent theater is that the stage design was not what I expected for a shakespearean play which I assumed would see these big elegant set pieces for the king's court but their was only two shrubs and seem mostly dependent on the lighting I thought this was a good decision because of the lack of scenery paid more attention to the actors because. The costumes the characters wore looked to be of modern attire except I felt that especially Biron that he was the rebel of the group of scholars while the two other associates Longaville and Dumaine who were dressed in debonair attire in contrast to biron who wore a hoodie under his blazer, khaki shorts and ruffled which was really helpful to me because I had a hard time understanding his character but …show more content…
The setting reminded me 2012 film version of much ado about nothing the films modernization of the shakespearean play but kept his brand of language with the dialogue the way love's labour's loss did this was just as appealing because in a way it was easier to connect to a younger audience because in someway they could possibly relate to it to situation in their life while not disregarding the genius of shakespeare who was the originator of the words and phrase they use.The oath the king and his men make take to abstain from women for three years to focus on their studies I’d compare to life of a college because students have to block all the distraction in their life and basically put their life on hold all 4 years to keep their gpa up to perfection but just as the princess and her ladies arriving in the simply it simply unavoidable to completely surrender all your time to your studies because you can not anticipate life.

Search for Wealth “All I kept thinking about, over and over, was ‘you can’t live forever; you can’t live forever” (36). In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, universally different characters are perpetually trying to move up the social ladder of hierarchy; tearing one another down, as another impermanently moves up. As the search for wealth and power continues, people are forced to choose social status over morals. The Great Gatsby takes place in the summer of the year 1922, a time of parties and prosperity, a time notoriously known as the jazz age, or the roaring twenties.
Shakespeare, in having Julia assumes a male disguise in Two Gentlemen of Verona, plays on “hose,” “codpiece,” and “pins” to emphasize cross dressing in Renaissance England. “Hose,” in the Oxford English Dictionary, comes from the Old English hosa and has the meaning of “an article of clothing for the leg” (OED). Similarly, “codpiece” refers to a “close-fitting hose or breeches worn by men from the 15th to the 17th century” (OED). Together, both “hose” and “codpiece” serve to remind the audience of Julia’s character transformation, undergoing from a female mistress to a male page. What significant about the word “codpiece,” however, is that it is a compounded word of “piece,” which derives from French peece and carries a meaning of “a portion
In William Shakespeare 's play 1 Henry IV, deception is a recurring theme. Main characters King Henry IV, Hotspur and Prince Hal deceived people to benefit themselves. Were these characters deceiving their subordinates to gain power or were their choices and actions political strategy geared toward gaining honor and maintaining the well-being of the nation?

King Henry deceives King Richard II into believing that he is on his side while he is secretly planning a rebellion, Hotspur does the same to King Henry by deceiving him into thinking that he is on his side while also secretly planning a rebellion and Prince Hal deceives the kingdom’s people into thinking he is this wild child so they will be more impressed with him when he becomes the mature prince and adequate potential leader he was expected to be all along. All of this deception brings up the question, do the characters use deception purely for their own benefit or for the benefit of the greater good? Shakespeare 's use of deception for power shows these three characters true intentions, for King Henry IV deception is used to gain power to benefit the kingdom while on the other hand, for Hotspur deception is used to gain power for his own benefit and the benefit of his family while in Prince Hal’s complicated case, deception is used both for his own benefit and ultimately the

Leandro Fernández de Moratín was born in Madrid, Spain in 1760. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England in 1564. They were two great playwrights and poets in their time. Despite the centuries, their art is still read, known, analyzed, criticized, and used both for academic and artistic purposes.

William Shakespeare, considered by many as one of the greatest writers of all history, has an aura of mystery surrounding his legacy. Shakespeare supposedly wrote 154 sonnets, 38 plays, two narrative poems and other works. Every great author knows how to inject mystery into his books, however, Shakespeare managed to not only include mystery in his wondrous works, but he has created a mystery for hundreds of years after his death. Intriguingly, the true authorship of his works continue to elude our knowledge. Three points of interest within this conspiracy, the suspects of writing under Shakespeare's name, how does the mystery stay unsolved, and why was it made a secret, will get discussed.
On the first day of class, students were given little slips of paper with Shakespeare quotes on them. I remember that the one that I was given stated, “Virtue is bold and goodness never fearful.” This quote stuck with me for some reason, just as various other lessons from the course have. Before I took the course, I was only semi-interested in each of the topics of Shakespeare, film and various social issues; now, after having learned about them in depth, my interest is heightened. Overall, this course has had a tremendous impact on my ways of thinking about a plethora of different subjects.

He is the son of John and Mary Arden Shakespeare. “His father is a prosperous and prominent tradesman, bailiff, and alderman, who suffered a decline in fortune and prestige” (Burt, Shakespeare).
