... theater was far from being bare, the playwright did have some valuable technical sources that he used to the best of his ability. The costumes the actors wore were made to be very elaborate.

Behind it were doors for exits and entrances and a curtained booth or alcove useful for actors to hide inside. Above the stage was a higher acting are ...

... seems that there will always be the rich and poor, the owner and the worker. This is even demonstrated by the literature of our time and that of other era's, such as the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. In this play Wilde display's the class structure with a different and interesting twist.

He leaves room for these critiques when he writes about the servants, the nobles, and the middle class. His view on society and class is very evident on the wa ...

... my face ignominously shoved against the wall, because I did not answer those questions at sufficient length."2 While at the orphanage, Oliver from Oliver Twist also experienced a great amount of abuse.

Le Guin has to keep in mind that we live in a mediatic world. Among the many different forms of media including books, radio, theatre and television, writing is and has been proven to be the oldest and the slowest. It is even considered sometimes the most boring form of home entertainment. In only five hours, a telespectator can go through about four stories while reading them would take on average four to six days.
