Jimmy Porter's anger in "Look Back in Anger" is primarily caused by his frustration with the social and political status quo of post-World War II England. He is disillusioned by what he perceives as the apathy and lack of ambition in those around him, particularly his wife Alison and her upper-class background. Additionally, Jimmy's anger is fueled by his feelings of alienation and inability to find a sense of purpose or fulfillment in his own life, leading to his outbursts and confrontations with those closest to him.

Well, honey, in the movie "12 Angry Men," the boy is initially perceived as guilty by most of the jurors. However, throughout the film, one juror raises doubts about the evidence presented, leading to a not guilty verdict. So technically, the boy was found not guilty by the end of the movie. But hey, watch it for yourself and make up your own mind, darling.

Here are five examples of alliterations in the highwayman:

ghostly galleon

breeches of brown

over the cobbles he clattered and clashed

his hair like mouldy hay

with the barrel beneath her breast

a play is complete with a script and stage directions, it's designed to be viewed on the stage (but may also be read, although much of the feel of the play would be lost). a story is a story

William Shakespeare, a renowned English playwright and poet, is traditionally credited with writing the plays attributed to him. While there have been some conspiracy theories suggesting that someone else may have written his works, the overwhelming majority of scholars and experts in the field of literature accept Shakespeare as the true author. The Shakespearean authorship question is a topic of ongoing debate, but the consensus within the academic community is that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon is the rightful author of the plays and sonnets that bear his name.

The question of who is a better leader between Antony and Brutus in Julius Caesar is subjective and depends on one's perspective. Antony is known for his charisma, rhetorical skills, and ability to mobilize the masses, while Brutus is portrayed as honorable, principled, and strategic. Antony's leadership style is more emotionally driven and populist, while Brutus is more rational and idealistic. Ultimately, the effectiveness of their leadership qualities is determined by the outcome of their actions and the impact on their followers.

Ah, what a lovely question! In Robert Swindells's heartwarming book "Stone Cold," we follow the journey of two main characters, Shelter and Link. Shelter is a kind and caring older man living on the streets, while Link is a young runaway trying to navigate life in the rough streets of London. Together, they form a special bond that teaches them both valuable lessons about friendship and survival.

Oh, dude, in act 2 scene 3, like, stuff goes down, you know? There's some drama, some dialogue, and probably a set change or something. I mean, it's Shakespeare, so there's bound to be some juicy gossip or a sword fight or whatever. Just read it, you'll figure it out.

In "After Juliet," Rosaline's monologue at Juliet's grave is a poignant reflection on grief, loss, and the passage of time. Rosaline expresses her sorrow over Juliet's death and contemplates the fleeting nature of life. She also reflects on the impact of their love and friendship, highlighting the enduring bond between them even in death. Overall, Rosaline's monologue serves as a powerful moment of introspection and emotional depth in the play.

they are both willing to kill to get what they want, cassius does it for ambition and brutus does it for the love of his country.they accomplish the same goal but for very different reasons. cassius wanted to do it to get power and brutus did it because he felt it was his duty. they both are helping/ using each other to get what they want or think that should be theirs. they are both manipulative. both are male roman men.

hope this helped im a 15 year old :)

Macbeth says this in Act V Scene 5 immediately before saying "Blow winds! Come wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back." Basically, Macbeth is tired of living. He is tired of waking up in the morning and seeing the sun. The world could go hang for all he cares. As his next line shows, he has nothing to look forward to except dying, so at least he will die fighting.

On a bright day, serpents (adders) come out to warm up in the sunlight. Snakes usually hide in cracks, crevasses and under rocks. (To 'crave' something is to want it very badly and to be 'wary' means to be very careful). So, on a bright day, snakes will be coming out in the open, so you'd want to be careful where you walk.

In this case, the phrase is a double entendre. Brutus, with his reference to the bright sun bringing forth dangerous creatures, is alluding to the fact that Caesar, once crowned, may change his nature completely and become a dangerous foe. Brutus is therefore advising his co-conspirators to be careful.

In the play "Bugsy Malone," Dotty is a minor character with limited lines. She primarily appears in group scenes and has a few short interactions with other characters. Dotty's lines typically involve brief comments or reactions to the events happening around her, rather than significant dialogue or monologues.

The 5 elements of literature are the plot, point of view, characters, setting, and theme. Literature is of great importance to everyone because of its huge amount of creating understanding from a different perspective in life.

Mount Ida is a mountain in northwestern Turkey, southeast of the ruins of Troy.

In the scene where the chorus of captive Trojan women utter the line "No more through Ida's looms shall I ply my shuttle to and fro" they are lamenting the fact that they are being taken from Troy into slavery, never to see their homes in the shadow of Mount Ida again.

Another possible interpretation comes from the fact that Mount Ida was considered sacred to the mother goddess Cybele, sometimes called Mater Idaea, who was the protector of the Trojan prince Aeneas. Goddesses were often associated in one way or another with weaving, as it was considered a feminine task at the time, but honestly, there is little recorded of any specific link between Cybele and weaving - she was a lot more about lions, hawks, chariots, hunting and smiting, so it is far more likely the "Looms of Ida" are just looms near Mount Ida.

Oh, a loom is a device for weaving cloth, in case that is part of what you were asking. At the time the play was written, a loom consisted of a wooden frame strung with thread and a lever that pulled forward alternate strings, allowing a "shuttle" pulling another length of thread to pass behind them. There is more on weaving in link below.

They were expected to take care of the house by cooking and cleaning, present themselves well, perform in bed, and be generally obedient and subservient to their husbands.

Othello wasn't written in the 1950s! Women like Desdemona or Emilia did not "take care of the house by cooking and cleaning". They had servants to do that. They were expected to be generally obedient and subservient by the more puritanical members of society. However, the reality was far different, as Shakespeare is at pains to point out. Unmarried women, according to the same sources, were supposed to be obedient and subservient to their fathers, but Desdemona is anything but to Brabantio.

Certainly Othello's action in publicly striking Desdemona was shocking, outrageous and way out of line, and is seen to be so by everyone who witnesses it.

I think the answer you are looking for is this quote: "Our course would seem too bloody, Caius Cassius...To cut the head off and then hack the limbs...for he [Antony] can do no more than Caesar's arm, when Caesar's head is off." Therefore, the most dangerous "branch" would be the head, or Caesar himself. If you were looking for something completely different, I'm sorry.

The appearance of the fairies in the denouement of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" adds a sense of magic and fantasy to the play, enhancing the whimsical and dreamlike tone. It ties up the loose ends of the plot and reinforces the idea of enchantment and transformation that runs throughout the story.

The "book" is a play script, intended to be performed on a stage by live actors. Any film (unless it is a filming of a stage play) has a screenplay, not a play script. Film scripts are different from play scripts in a number of ways, since it is possible to do things with films that you cannot do with plays and vice versa. Film can take advantage of certain special effects which are not available in live performances. Film can also cut easily and quickly from one scene to another, without any need for set changes. A play, on the other hand can show you what a number of people are doing separately from each other at the same time. A live audience can keep tabs on them in a way that a film camera cannot. One difference you will find is that when the play was written, a script if fully performed lasted three hours or more, but likely was cut back for performance. These days, people do not normally want to watch either a play or a film which lasts three hours plus so something must go. I cannot comment on what specifically may have been cut from the movie you are watching since a number of movies have been made from this play and they all have different screenplays.
