The denouement is in the final act, as the final stage of the plot.

Ninth grader Rudy asks a good-looking eleventh grader, Patricia, for a date-- and she says yes. As the big day approaches, Rudy is nervous. Rudy's friends and family have plenty of advice for him....but he doesn't expect them all to show up at the restaurant while he is trying t romance Patricia.

The Crucible was a box office success and highly acclaimed by both critics and the general public alike. Some critics made not of historical innaccuracys but overall it was received very positivly

Not really. Both lovers describe the other as good-looking, but this does not give us any detail. Juliet says in 3,2 that Romeo has a "flowering face". The Nurse in 2,5 also vaguely describes Romeo as attractive. Romeo, for his part, is full of superlatives at Juliet's good looks, as "I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" in 1,5.

There is nothing which says whether they are short or tall, heavy or light. Romeo does say that Juliet "shows a snowy dove trooping with crows" but this only reflects the standard of beauty of the time, where paleness was equated with beauty, and women wore makeup which was so white it made them look like clowns or corpses. Indeed, the dialogue avoids any characteristic detail of appearance, in order to maintain the idea that these two people embodied the ideal of beauty, for if one was described as short it would mean that he or she was shorter than a perfectly beautiful person would be. And it is perhaps just as well, for ideas about what is ideal beauty change over time, and in the four hundred years and more that this play has been performed, every actress and actor who has played one or other of those parts is intended to embody those changing ideals, no matter what he or she actually looked like.

The family tries to make Orgon see Tartuffe's hypocrisy.

Sheila Birling changes from a naive, self-centered young woman at the beginning of the play to a more mature and socially conscious individual by the end. She learns to take responsibility for her actions and shows empathy towards others, especially towards Eva Smith. Sheila's transformation is symbolized by her willingness to accept blame for her part in Eva's death and her commitment to change her behavior in the future.

She is afraid the potion will not work. She is afraid that it will kill her. She is afraid that Romeo will not arrive on time and she will wake up in a crypt full of dead bodies, including the decomposing body of Tybalt. She puts all three fears aside, proving how genuinely courageous she is.

Both Romeo and Juliet, of course, do a lot of maturing as the play goes on. Capulet, also, changes between being belligerent and jovial and finally changes to contrition.

they had an affair.

One of Shakespeare's early plays, As You Like It(1598-1599), is a stock romantic comedy that was familiar to Elizabethan audiences as an exemplar of "Christian" comedy. Although the play does include two offstage spiritual conversions, the "Christian" designation does not refer to religion itself. Instead, it denotes the restoration and regeneration of society through the affirmation of certain Christian values such as brotherly love, marital union, tolerance for different viewpoints, and optimism about life at large.

The dolls are used as an instrument of narration and also as a projection of what the characters are thinking. They are used in the play to fill in the gaps of what is happening in the story.

he wants him to assasinate Caesar

Artemidorus first urges Caesar to read his letter in ACT II SCENE III. ARTEMIDORUS O Caesar, read mine first; for mine's a suit That touches Caesar nearer: read it, great Caesar. CAESAR What touches us ourself shall be last served. What Caesar says is that I will serve my own needs last, inferring that he will serve others first. This could be interpreted two ways. 1. That Caesar really does believe in Rome and the people so higly that he puts himself after the well being of all others. 2. That Caesar, now in full blown ego, is making a show that he puts all others first. I think the latter is more true, in that it fits with his behavior and ego pumping he was given at the end of the second act and that continues right up until they stab him. This furthers the irony of the situation in that if he was behaving in a truly egotistical fashion he would have looked at that which touches him nearer(is more important to him) and might have gotten out alive.

"She is fair, and fairer than that word, of wondrous virtues."
