... her appearance as illustrated in the quote. Stella tells Blanche that she only has two rooms and Blanche is shocked. When Stanley comes back from bowling he is surprised to see Blanche there. Blanche was looking for a compliment, but Stanley is not the complimenting type. Stella has to tell Stanley secretly to once in while give Blanche a nice compliment.

Shakespeare's "Henry IV": Summary
... they use him to
pay for drinks and get them out of trouble sometimes but that does not
really bother him. His best friend would have to be the fat old slob
Falstaf. Falstaf is always around in the story and talks all of the time.
He also spends most of his time drinking in the tavern. Hal likes to hang
out with Falstaf because he is funny and outspoken. Hal and Falstaf could
make fun of each other and call each other names and that wont bother them.
For instance when the prince started calling Falstaf, “This bed-presser,
this horse-back-breaker, this huge hill of flesh”. Then Falstaf came back
by saying, “Sblood, you starveling, you eel-skin, you dried neat's ...

Shakespeare's World
... in our wonder and astonishment, hast built thyself a
long-live monument," wrote Milton, in praise of Shakespeare.
Shakespeare is by far and without doubt the most popular and successful
writer of all time. But what of the man himself? Who was William Shakespeare?
The life of William Shakespeare is shrouded in mystery. There is no
record of him receiving an education, buying a book or writing a single letter,
and no original manuscript of a Shakespeare play survives. There is no direct
record of his conversations, and no one in his home town seems to have known
that he was a successful playwright while he was alive. There is not even a
contemporary portrait to reve ...

Hamlet: Inner Turmoil
... bread on the table.
If people did not like what Shakespeare wrote, then he would not earn any money.
If the people didn't like what they saw, he became the starving artist.
Shakespeare wrote these dialogues in such a manner as to entertain both the
Nobility, as well as the peasants.
The Shakespearean theater is a physical manifestation of how Shakespeare
catered to more than one social class in his theatrical productions. These
Shakespearean theaters has a unique construction, which had specific seats for
the wealthy, and likewise, a designated separate standing section for the
peasants. This definite separation of the classes is also evident in
Shakespeare's wri ...

All My Sons: Miller's Chief Criticism Of American Society
... and not do medical research- which is what he
really wanted to do. The third example is Jim's abdication of his pursuit
of medical research do to the lack of profit involved.
In his play "All My Sons," Miller makes it apparent that society in
general values money and profit more than human life. He shows this by his
portrayal of Keller. Keller ships out cracked cylinder heads, aware that in
flight they will cause planes to crash, to save his business from being
shut down. Furthermore, he goes on to allow the blame to fall on Steve, in
order to save himself from going to jail, even though Steve was not the
only one guilty. Keller tries to rationalize his ...

Shakespeare's The Comedy Of Errors
... to
their close family members. The fact that Shakespeare was able to make the
dialogue fit in with the scenarios made the action even more comic. The idea of
the plot, although not completely original is still unique and is still used in
modern work, such as the TV sitcoms like "Sister, Sister." Something that
surprised me in the play was Adriana's character. She was insecure and
portrayed the typical damsel in distress. She was completely dependent on her
husband and this fact alone made the play somewhat out of date. Shakespeare is
said to be "not of an age, but for all times," but Adriana's character, in my
opinion, would not fit in to the modern world. ...

Analysis Of The Movie Contact
... of technology. The moment when contact becomes possible." The
movie explores many aspects of making "contact" with aliens. It explores
the religious implications of such an event as well as the faith that one
has to have afterwards. It is ironic that Arroway falls back on faith to
believe her journey took place upon her return after having shunned faith
that others had in God before. The movie did not deal with the Cold War
politics that Sagan's book dealt with mainly because of the release date of
this movie. The movie was made well after the end of the Cold War and the
efforts to build a space pod for space travel is depicted as being an
international effo ...

Macbeth: Lady Macbeth And Evil
... of women being kind and benevolant in the
first act. After Macbeth writes home telling of his murderous plans, Lady
Macbeth begins talking to evil spirits. Because women often lack the
ruthlessness to kill someone, Lady Macbeth asks the spirits to make her male.
One of the most vivid descriptions of Lady Macbeth's wickedness is directly
after Macbeth announces to her he does not want to kill Duncan.This speech
epitomizes Lady Macbeth's evilness. She is ruthless, and her evil accounts for
the murders that occur throughout the play Macbeth.
Lady Macbeth is far more savage and ambitious than her husband, yet she
convinces Macbeth to commit the murders that will ...
