Wolfgang Mozart and Antonio Salieri are arguably two sides of the same coin and certainly foils. While Mozart embraces humanity and its flaws, Salieri shuns it, believing God’s grace and musical talent is all he needs. Amadeus is tired of “gods and heroes,” common to Italian operas, and doesn’t want a conventional job, believing “all serious operas written in [the 18th] century are boring” (Shaffer 2001, 69). Instead, he would rather compose operas about life and love and in harems, and insults Italians

Moreover, Mozart’s music in Amadeus is attributed to survey intricate relationship between God and humans. Through Salieri’s powerful jealousy of Mozart’s music and his intense blame on God, the movie proposes the issue of human’s incomplete belief in God and the question about the existence of God. Salieri, in the beginning part of the movie, is presented as the profoundly religious human. He believes that God grants his faithful wish to be a successful composer so he tries to devote to his God

In both Equus and Amadeus Shaffer shows insanity in his characters. He does this not only to stress the characters feelings and state of mind of which they are in.

     The hymn “O Worship the King” the great hymn that is still being used today in churches. Sir Robert Grant was the writer of this hymn. He wrote this hymn to reflect on how great God is and what great things He does for us. God is very worthy to be worship and praised. Sir Robert Grant brings out many areas of God that would cause us to worship Him. This song is taken out of Psalm 104, where the psalmist is showing the greatness of God. This song was written in sometime

Appearance vs. Reality in Peter Shaffer's Amadeus In the world of the 18th century, appearance was everything; and appearance often conflicted with reality. Such is the case in Peter Shaffer’s, Amadeus, which follows Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s musical career. Mozart’s career was enveloped in deceit and falsity, appearing to be brought on by poor choices he made, when all along he was being sabotaged by Salieri. When Mozart arrives in Vienna, Antonio Salieri pretends to welcome

On November 30, 2017, I viewed a play called Amadeus, from the comfort of my home. Didn’t think I would like it seeing that this would be my first time ever seeing a play like this one. I was thinking to myself am I going to like it, will I be able to sit through the whole play without being bored. Within the first couple of seconds, I was amazed at how the characters from the start of the play really drew me in with their chanting and the two characters going on and on about the tale of Antonio

The author's notoriety expanded quickly all through Austria, and assignment started landing from overseas.
