Plays

She stoops to Conquer is a comedy by the Irish author Oliver Goldsmith. The play was initially titled as Mistakes of a Night and the events in the play, indeed, happen during the time frame of one night. Mr.Hardcastle, a rich countryman plans to marry his daughter Kate to the son of his old friend, Sir Charles Marlow. Hardcastle's second wife is determined in marrying her spoiled son, Tony Lumpkin to her niece, Constance Neville in order to keep her fortune, a casket of jewels within the family. But Miss Neville has plans to marry Hastings, a friend of young Marlow. While Hardcastle's family is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Marlow and his friend, Hastings, the friends stop at the village Inn to inquire their way. Tony Lumpkin, who is present there, realizes their identity and plays a joke by telling them that they are far away from their destination and asks them to stay at an inn, recommending Hardcastle house as the best Inn around there. Thus the friends arrive there and treat Mr.Hardcastle as mere Inn keeper. This enrages Mr.Hardcastle and is convinced that Marlow is not suitable for his daughter. On the other hand, Young Marlow who is nervous in the presence of ladies of his own social status, yet quite the quite opposite with lower-class women doesn't look properly at Kate on their first meeting. Kate realizes this and stoops to conquer him, by posing as bar maid and putting Marlow at his ease so that he falls for her in the process. However, he changes his mind when he realizes the truth behind Marlow's behaviour. The play concludes with Mr.Hardcastle realizing the truth behind Marlow's behaviour and changing his mind; Kate succeeding in her plan and getting engaged to Marlow; Tony Lumpkin discovering he is of age and receives his entitled money, which his mother hides from him. He refuses to marry Ms.Neville, who then gets her entitled jewels and gets engaged to Mr.Hastings. So all is well that ends well.

When about to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, he asks them how much they love him, and he will give each of them part of the kingdom based on their respective answers. His eldest daughter, Goneril, proclaims her love for him in a very exaggerated tone, saying "A love that makes breath poor and speech unable; / Beyond all manner of so much I love you." His middle daughter, Regan, spills out an equally melodramatic response in saying her love for him. His youngest and favorite daughter, Cordelia, merely says "Nothing, my lord", justifying that "I cannot heave my heart into my mouth", or what she feels she cannot form into words.

He was a wealthy man who tied Portia to a lottery which meant that she could only marry a man who passed the test.

Kings and Queens did not go to plays in Shakespeare's day. The plays went to them. The actors would all go to the court where the monarch lived along with their attendants and put on the play in a hall in Hampton Court or whatever palace it was.

Shakespeare's plays (with Shakespeare acting in them) were played at the courts of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I and his consort Queen Anne.

If you are talking about Death of a Salesman, which I assume you are, Willy Loman comes home because he is too "tired" and simply "couldn't drive anymore". This signifies Willy's exhaustion and also eludes to the beginnings of Willy's mental illness. He states that he was "unable to drive anymore" and Linda is alarmed by this. She acts this way because she idolizes him. She sees him as a man with little imperfections and does her best to make excuses for his flaws. This is what makes Willy the perfect tragic antihero. He was never a great man, but he was idolized by at least one person, and that happened to be his wife.

The Glass Menagerie is basically a book of symbolism. Laura is mainly represented by her precious glass menagerie. When Tom breaks some peices of it this symbolizes Laura's shattered emotions thoughout the story. The storm in the story also represent Laura's inner tormoils. The unicorn that she gives to Jim towards the end is a perfect example of her. When she describes it to Jim she is basically describing herself- fragile, different, and lonely. When the horn breaks it symbolizes Laura's transformation into a more normal preson.

I guess the difference is that with movies you get a more in-depth, realistic, part of the action kind of feel, wheras when you're watching a play, you're just an observer, you can't see a close-up of the actor's tears or hear them whispering to one another. You can see and feel alot more in a film I think.

On the other hand, in a play the actors are aware of the audience and how they are reacting to the play. Stage actors change their performance depending on how the audience is reacting. When you're watching a movie, you're just an observer, but at a play you're a participant. Because of this, and because actors often make small mistakes on stage that must be compensated for, no two performances of the same play, even in the same production, are exactly the same. Each one is unique. Every time you watch a film, it is exactly the same. Plays are much more exciting than films I think.

The role of Inspector Goole in 'An inspector calls' is a very complex one. He is perceived in many ways and, there are endless suggestions on whom or what he could be. As the play goes on his character develops, until eventually you do yourself question whether he is a real police inspector.

Cassius had his own selfish motives to kill Julius Caesar and did not have Roman welfare on his mind. He had quoted an incident in Scene 1 where by he tells about his upperhand on Julius Caesar. He tells that once Caesar challenged him to swim across storming Tiber. Cassius, in an instant, jumped in the waters bading with his lusty sinews. But, Caesar himself could not swim and was helped by Cassius to reach the bank. Now, Cassius bears this grudge that such chicken-hearted Caesar should rule over Rome and doth not pay attention to his friends. He thinks that such a man is not wotrhy at all. Furthermore, Caesar's negligence and rudeness unto him makes him feel angry towards Caesar so much so that he was bent over killing Julius Caesar.

Caesar's reaction to the soothsayers warning was that these are all rumors "who cares"

No. Lady Montague was so devastated when Romeo was banished, she died before he came back to kill him himself with Juliet. His father had no one left after Romeo died. I believe he talks about it the last act, last scene.
