Plays

Women are not stereotyped as "shrews" in this play. If it were so, then all the women in the play would be equally shrewish. But they are not. Kate is shrewish but the other women are not. Some really stereotypical characters are Gremio, the elderly suitor, who like all elderly suitors, is portrayed as being foolish, the lippy servants Tranio and Biondello, who are stereotypes drawn from the commedia dell'arte, and the lovers Lucentio and Bianca. Actually, Kate is the least stereotypical and most interesting character in the play.

The causes of Claudio's problems are both external and internal. The external cause of his problems is Don John, who is always feeding Claudio lies, first that Don Pedro has betrayed him, and second (and more convincingly) that Hero has betrayed him.

But as we and Don John find out from how easily Claudio falls for the lie that Don Pedro has wooed Hero for himself, Claudio is susceptible to suggestions that Hero will go for other guys apart from him. He is inclined to jealousy, to the suspicion that he is being cuckolded, and to react violently and cruelly when these suspicions are aroused. He could have behaved like St. Joseph who found himself in a similar situation and thought to "divorce her quietly", but he didn't.

Biff steals because from a young age, Biff was not taught the difference between right and wrong or allusion versus reality. He was taught that it was okay to steal as long as success comes from the stealing. For example, when Biff stole the football from his coach, his father simply laughed and said, "Sure, he's gotta practice with a regulation ball, doesn't he? Coach'll probably congratulate you on the initiative." Thus, Willy was showing Biff that it was okay to steal as long as success came from it. Another time, when Willy showed to Biff that it was okay to steal/cheat was when Bernard was trying to get Biff to study and Willy simply said "Bernard: Where is he? If he doesn't study! Willy: You'll give him the answers!" This is another incident when Willy shows Biff that it is okay to cheat if it leads to success. Biff also feels as though the world owes him something, so when the people around him do not give him what he's owed, he steals from them to punish them in a passive aggressive manor.

A written version of a play that is created by the playwright is called a script. A script is also the term that is used when referring to a film or television show.

Macbeth was very real. He was king of Scotland for 17 years from 1040 to 1057. The original King Macbeth's name was actual Mac Bethad meaning Son of Bethad. There are all kinds of people with the surname Macbeth living now. Google "Ryan Macbeth" if you don't believe me. It's a real name.

this was written by Hendrik Ibsen and published in 1881

Well, basically, this is not an easy question to answer. In essence, the whole play is made up of verses manifested especially in Becket and Chorus' speech, hence, this greatly enhances the richness of the language in the play. There are of course exceptions, as seen in the speech made by the 4 knights in prose. It's actually quite complicated if you really bother to analyse it.

Miranda is naturally a very nice person, which is something of a miracle when you consider who her old man is. Thankfully, she shares absolutely none of her father's bitterness and resentment at the men responsible for their island exile. For her, an encounter with another human being is a rare treat: an opportunity to connect with someone who isn't her father (Prospero), an ugly brute (Caliban), or a sprite (Ariel). So when a shipload of strangers washes up on the shore, Miranda's veritably thrilled at the prospect of making new friends.

Answer The time and place of a story is usually called its setting, or where and when it is set. For example, West Side Story is based on William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet and the setting is New York City in the 1950s. The movie High School Musical is also based on Romeo and Juliet and is set in modern day America.

From checking information with the Internet Movie Database, it appears that there are three versions of the movie "Annie". The first was in 1982, followed by one in 1999, and one in the upcoming year.

By Act 5, Hamlet knows just about everything he needs to know. He reports to Horatio that he discovered the secret orders given to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern which proved that the King was trying to kill Hamlet. He does not yet know about Laertes' complicity in this, but doesn't try to find out either. When he finds out that Ophelia is dead, he does not inquire after the details of her death. He has made a decision to go with the flow ("There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.")

" Thy master is a wise and valiant Roman;
I never thought him worse.
Tell him, so please him come unto this place,
He shall be satisfied; and, by my honour,
Depart untouch'd. "

As in "if he wishes to come here, we will explain ourselves and leave him unharmed."

Hamlet's mother died by drinking a goblet of wine that was supposed to go to Hamlet. The King had poisoned the wine in an attempt to kill Hamlet and seeing his queen about to take a sip, he tries to persuade her otherwise. She drinks anyway.

Calupurnia in To Kill a Mockingbird is almost like the nanny for the kids. She is a black lady, older then Atticus, and she cooks and takes care of the kids and so on.

Calpurnia in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and in Plutarch's Lives is the wife of Julius Caesar at the time of his death.

Although the first Quarto version of Romeo and Juliet from 1597 is sometimes called a "bad quarto", it is very similar to the "good quarto"version of 1599. For example, Q1 has "By yonder blessed Moone I swear/ That tips with silver all these fruit trees tops" whereas Q2 has "Lady, by yonder blessed Moone I vow/ That tips with silver all these frute tree tops." The lines are a little different but basically the same.

Or were these not the "two versions" you were asking about? Perhaps you wanted to compare the Hollywood movie version of 1936 with Renato Castellone's film from 1955.
