What was Brutus full name from Julius Caesar?
There were two men that had the name "Brutus." If you're talking about the one that was like Julius Caesar's son and gave the speech, you're thinking of Marcus Brutus. But if you're talking about the one against Caesar and the one who wanted to start the conspiracy, that's Cassius Brutus. The twowere brothers-in-law. I know his last name was brutus

What does Prospero stage in order to celebrate the betrothal of Miranda and Ferdinand?
A masque. These were pompous and rather static entertainments which were popular at the time. In including one in the play, Shakespeare was bowing to the popular taste for spectacle. Such spectacular scenes were a feature of his late plays: in A Winter's Tale a real bear appears on the stage, in Cymbeline an actor representing Jupiter is lowered from the stage ceiling for no good dramatic reason, and Henry VIII is full of long and spectacular processions.
What happens in midsummer night's dream act 4?
Lysander loves Hermia and Hermia loves Lysander. Demetrius used to love Helena but is now in love with Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius. Egeus, Hermia's father, orders Hermia to marry Demetrius and gets the Duke of Athens involved, who explains to Hermia that if she does not obey her father she may be beheaded or forced into a life of nunnery. Next, Hermia and Lysander escape to the forest to hide from the Duke and Egeus, but Demetrius and Helena follow. Meanwhile, Oberon, King of the Fairies, and Titania, Queen of the Fairies are arguing over a boy who Titania adopted.
Later, Oberon orders Puck to squeeze a special love juice in Titania's eyes as she sleeps so that the first creature she sees when she wakes up, she will fall in love with. Then, after hearing Demetrius rejecting Helena, Oberon decides that Puck should then squeeze juice into Demetrius' eyes to make him fall in love with Helena. However, Puck makes a mistake and puts the juice in the eyes of Lysander instead. Helena then stumbles over Lysander and awakes him, which causes him to then fall in love with Helena, growing hatred for Hermia, and rejects her for her best friend and man stealer Helena.
In the middle of all of this confusion, a group of workmen from Athens are rehearsing a play that they will perform at the Duke's wedding. The two main actors are Nick Bottom and Peter Quince. Puck mischieviously casts a spell on Nick Bottom and magically gives him the head of a donkey! But, Bottom is the very first thing that Titania sees as she awakes and instantly falls in love with him!
As Titania and Bottom admire eachother, Oberon again orders Puck to make sure DEMETRIUS falls in love with Helena and eventually Puck gets it right. Although, with Lysander AND Demetrius follow Helena like lost puppies, Helena feels she is being mocked.
Finally Oberon decides that all the confusion must come to an end and puts all four lovers to sleep and gives Lysander an antidote for the juice so that he will again fall in love with Hermia. Oberon also gives Titania an antidote and the Fairy King and Queen are reunited.
Theseus and Hippolyta find the four lovers in the forest and see the love they have for their admired ones and decide that they should have a joint wedding. So, they all live happily ever after, whilst watching Nick Bottom and Peter Quince's dedicated play.

What is 'The Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty'?
The 'Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty' is a play by David Calcutt.
It is about a boy called Terry Dumpton who is nicknamed Humpty Dumpty. He is bullied in his new school by a gang lead by cruel, cunning Stubbs. Terry's only friend, Sammy, is a coward who can't stand up for himself. As the bullying gets worse, Terry begins to play truant (skip school) which worries and annoys his working-class parents, but they are powerless in the end.
In the opening scene, the bullies and 'hanger-on' Sammy are pressuring Terry into climbing a pylon (electrical building) to go after one of the bullies' Frisbee. To prove he's not a coward, poor Terry climbs the pylon but gets electrocuted. He dies - this is the Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty.
The rest of the play consists of Mrs Dumpton's reminiscence of the worrying events leading up to her son's tragic death, and the police inquiry into Terry's death by two police officers. In the end, scared, cowardly Sammy finally owns up to what happened to Terry and justice is done.

Why did Priestly write An Inspector Calls?
This is in his perpective
I am writing this to tell you why I wrote the play 'The inspector Calls'. I wrote this play to give points about things I think are wrong. I wrote the play in 1945 partially because the war had just ended and I set the play in 1912 because now compared to then was completely different.
Part of the reason I wrote this play was to teach people that their everyday actions could have a very serious impact on others' life. For example with Sheila's jealousy, Sheila did not think about what her actions and did not think about what would happen to Eva Smith afterwards. If she knew that Eva Smith would die after the following events she would not have got her fired. I am showing that inconsiderate actions and decisions people can make without thinking can have very serious after effects.
Also I was trying to show through this play that conservative people should be open to change and by demonstrating conservative people more clearly, people would realise how bad it can be. For example Sheila and Eric clearly show remorse for what they have done and are ready for change. But conservative Mr and Mrs Birling show no remorse for what has happened and are still trying to defend themselves and are more concerned about their own reputations than what happened to Eva Smith. They even laugh at the situation and think everything is fine and they should carry on as they were before. Even though Mr and Mrs Birling had just been taught a lesson. This was to teach people that being conservative can make people blind to the morals and by showing people it actually happening it creates a clearer moral that the audience can actually think about.
Finally I wrote the play to make a point about how the upper class treated the lower class people, the upper class think that they are better than lower classes of people. I was trying to express that everyone should look after each other, to prevent cases of 'Eva Smith'. Also I was trying to show that high class people should look after the lower classes instead of looking down on them.
The raging storm in King Lear is an example of symbolism?
Without the raging storm bringing on Lear's madness and self-recognition, the play would not have fulfilled its tragic purpose. Shakespeare's extensive use of the storm creates the main body of symbolism and imagery within the play, which enables the audience to assess just how high emotions were running, and allows them to get more involved with the characters of the play.
