The hero or main charcter dies or doesn't get what he wants in the end.

in greek mythology, Medea was a sorceress who left her kingdom with a hero named Jason and her little brother. she had managed to help Jason in a situation and they left the kingdom, Jason promisded to marry Medea. However, medea's father was going after them and they had no time so medea killed her little brother and chopped him to pieces to get them sometime and threw the remians into the ocean. Jason was shocked by this event and he left her.

Because Waitwell needs to be married if Mirabell's plot against Lady Wishfort is to be successful. Mirabell needs to get back into Lady Wishfort's good graces (he offended her when she thought he was flirting with her and then her turned her down) so that she will approve of him and let him marry her neice Millamant. To do this Mirabell planned to dupe Wishfort by having his servant Waitwell and Waitwell's wife Foible (Lady Wishfort's maid) help set up a false betrothal between Mirabell's fictional uncle (Sir Rowland, actually Waitwell in disguise) and Lady Wishfort, who very much wants to get married again. Waitwell needs to be married so that the betrothal between him and Lady Wishfort is not valid since you cant be legally married to more than one person at a time. Mirabell's plan is to swoop in at the last moment and expose Sir Rowland as a servant and already married so that Lady Wishfort will be grateful and allow him to marry Millamant. This of course doesn't work out in the end because of the schemes of Mr. Fainall and his mistress Marwood who are working against the main characters (Mirabell Millamant and Mrs. Fainall)

Arthur Miller's reason for writing "Death of a Salesman" is not known.

The male lead is called Petruchio and the female lead is called Katherine. She is the "shrew" in the title, a word which means a bad-tempered woman.

You could say a mixture of both, as when Lear divides his kingdom, he splits the indivisible body politic and body natural, which can only be passed on through death. Therefore, it is his fault that neither can survive without the other, hence the downfall of the kingdom (body politic) and his own mind (body natural). However you could say that once he has made that division, it is then inevitable that he will reach his downfall, as one cannot survive without the other.

Hippolyta is the Queen of the Amazons, who is betrothed to Theseus, the Duke of Athens. In Greek mythology, these two legendary persons do in fact marry.

i guess you could say that eliza changes. by the end she was being mistaken for a duchess.

With great difficulty. Good luck.

Early productions of the play focused on the relationship between Bassanio and Portia, and the character of Shylock was a kind of comic relief. Later, however, the character of Shylock proved to be the most interesting in the play and attracted the star actors. In 1741 Charles Macklin played Shylock as an out-and-out villain. Edmund Kean in 1814 had a more sympathetic but still villainous reading. Sir Henry Irving began a tradition of playing Shylock as a sympathetic character in a famous production in 1879 with Ellen Terry as Portia. Sir Laurence Olivier played Shylock as a Victorian businessman in 1970 in a National Theatre production directed by Jonathan Miller, and which was later televised. David Suchet and Dustin Hoffman have both famously played Shylock, and Patrick Stewart played him as a smarmy, ingratiating character. More recently a feature film was released in 2004 directed by Michael Radford and starring Al Pacino as Shylock.

It depends on the theatre. Through a door in the set, out of the wings, and through the audience are all possibilities. The director will choose which he or she wants.

Ken Gorman is the protagonist of Neil Simon's play, Rumors. Rumors is about four upper-class couples attending the tenth anniversary party of the deputy New York City mayor and his wife. The couples find out in a round-about way that the deputy mayor has tried to shoot himself in the head, but missed and shot his ear-lobe. Hilarity ensues as they try to conceal the nights events from the local police and the media.

Well, that's a difficult one. Of all the characters in Shakespeare's canon, I would argue that only Aaron of Titus Andronicus and perhaps Richard III exceed him in patent villainy. If it were put to me to argue this point, I would say that the best option would be to portray him as a symptom of a paranoid, misogynistic and widespread perception that women will inevitably betray their husbands. Look at Leontes in The Winters Tale. He seems to suggest that husbands are all members of a brotherhood of sorts, in which they all share the cuckold's horns and find a kind of solidarity in it. Iago displays a similar kind of sickness of thought. He briefly suggests that he believes his own wife to have been unfaithful with Othello. You could argue that his rage and subsequent malevolent plotting stem from the anxiety that is pervasive in a society of men who are all simultaneously predators and victims. You could also argue that he is railing against a meritocracy that values ability vs. loyalty (which seems to be his argument occasionally). Thus his frustrated ambition is a product of conflicting notions of value. Though this would be fairly weak on its own, it could augment the other argument.

Juror 1, the foreman never seemed to get involved in the arguments. He is a representation of complete impartiality. When Juror 1 votes not guilty, it is a turning point, a sign that the evidence points to a not-guilty verdict.

Different things have happened at Belle Reve. Belle Reve is a penitentiary that has been a location used for many DC comics supervillians. In once comic, Superman calmed a riot there.

For example, some stock-stereotyped characters films have a lot is: The popular girl is always pretty and make-up and rich clothes The nerd always has glasses and buck teeth A stock character is one which relies heavily on cultural types or names for his or her personality, manner of speech, and other characteristics.

Othello is a play, so you should not think of it as a book. Go and watch it, either at a theatre or on film, if you want to understand it. Learning how to understand plays by just reading the script is like learning how to understand music by just reading a score. If you have experience you can imagine a performance; otherwise you can only understand the work by seeing or hearing it.

Desdemona becomes worried by a change in behaviour in her husband. He has become suspicious and bad-tempered. She doesn't know that iago is systematically manipulating him into believing that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair.
