are no absolute truths or realities. Pinter is therefore concerned with
what exists as unknown and intangible to humanity. His theatre interrogates

what the audience regards as fact is fiction as he explores the uncertainty
of human existence.
When an audience of the 1960's went to the theatre, it can generally be
assumed that they had preconceived ideas about what they expected and what
they are going to gain from the theatrical experience. The traditional
attitudes towards theatre and the conventions of realist drama are
disrupted by Pinter. This confronts the assump ...

There is indeed a contrast in characters between the Fox and Disney versions of Robin Hood.
Secondly, the Fox film doesn't use narration in contrast to the Disney film using an animated roaster who is a Minstrel to narrate much of the story. This changes the point of view in how the viewer interacts with the storyline ...

Hedda Gabler: “Evaluate The Achievements Of Act I As Exposition”
... of a play must be able to establish some degree of suspense and dramatic tension. To such an end, Act I is relatively successful. Hedda’s pregnancy is hinted at : directly through Jorgen mentioning Hedda’s “blossoming” twice, and subtly through Hedda’s clothes which are indicated in the stage directions to be “loosely-fitting”, which does not suit her “elegant figure”. The ridiculous reasoning of Jorgen and Hedda’s noticeably strong reaction to any mention of the matter further draws the audience’s attention to the matter. When Miss Tesman declares that she will visit her “every single day” even in the face of Hedda’s disgust and obvious disapproval, the possibility ...

Macbeth: The Symbol Of Blood
... the injured sergeant and says "What bloody man is that?". This is symbolic of the brave fighter who been injured in a valiant battle for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution", he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,".

Hamlet: Is He Insane?
... to heaven, and so am I revenged that would be scanned. A villain
kills my father, and for that, I, his sole son, do this same villain send to
heaven. Why, this is hire and salary, not revenge.” He says here that he has
his chance to kill his father's murder but, he is praying. By killing him while

A Look At The Moss, Father/Son Relationship In Bonnie And Clyde
... this scene and move to the kitchen. It is only but short time after
we meet C.W.'s father, we can already begin to know what their relationship
is all about. Their values and lifestyle are all made apparent almost
immediately when they are first seen in the movie. C.W. Moss's father is
