Franco Zeffili's Film Version Of Romeo And Juliet
Number of words: 214 | Number of pages: 1.... film was an improvement over
Shakespeares play because he changed the dialogue a little, he made the location
better, and the Tybalt and Romeo duel was action packed.
I really liked the real elaborate scenery in the movie. I liked all the nice
looking buildings. I also liked the scenery because it was real open and right
in the center of the city.
Franco Zeffelli really added a lot to the great battle scene between Romeo and
Tybalt. In the actual play the fight sounded stupid and it seemed like it
barely lasted a minute. In the movie the fight scene was great because it was a
long fierce fight.
Franco Zeffelli's .....

Shylock Is The Villian In Shakespeare's Merchant Of Venice
Number of words: 382 | Number of pages: 2.... shows the human qualities of Shylock throughout the
play. Shakespeare brings out these human qualities by causing us to feel
sympathy for him. After the loss of his daughter Shylock ran through the
streets crying “My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter!” as children followed
him, mocking him. This causes us to feel sympathy for Shylock, even though we
may feel him to be a villain. Besides the loss of his daughter and his ducats,
after the trial Shylock also looses his property and his religion. The loss of
his property was certainly a blow to Shylock but it can hardly compare to his
loss of his religion. His forced conver .....

(Act 1:Scene 4:ln.55)
When Lady Macbeth heard of her husband's success and read the letter, we
almost immediately feel that a new source of power had appared in the drama.
Her words reflected a great knowledge of her husband and her practical
approach to problems as seen in the following two verses.
Glacis thou art, and Cowdor, and shalt be
What thou are promised. Yet do I fear thy nature.
It is too full o' the milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great;
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it. What though .....

Hamlet: Video Comparison

best one because it reflects my view of this scene as well as what I think
Shakespeare's intentions were.
Another version was the with Lawrence Olivier. Compared with the other
two, this version didn't quite seem as realistic. When Hamlet enters them room,
it seems like he already knows what's going on, and that Polonius and the King
are in the room. You can tell that he thinks something's up when glances over
at the hanging tapestries before he talks with Ophelia. They don't seem as if
they are, or ever were in love. They don't have any chemistry during their
conversation and I think that wasn't what Shakespeare intende .....

Performances Of A Lifetime In Thelma And Louise

In Alice Doesn’t Teresa de Lauretis claims that feminist film theory has gone well beyond the simple opposition of positive and negative images, and has indeed displaced the very terms of that opposition to a sustained critical attention to the hidden work of the apparatus. It has shown, for instance, how narrativity works to anchor images to noncontradictory points of identification, so that “sexual difference” is ultimately reconfirmed and any ambiguity reconciled through narrative closure.
