A Play By Rebecca Gaston

In Rebecca du Maurier appears to conform to the conventions of the romantic genre however, du Maurier has also subverted the genre of romance through her representation of the relationship between the narrator and Maxim and the structure of the novel. She has also incorporated of elements of the gothic genre and the psychological thriller.

The way an individual is seen and the impression that person makes upon others determines the way that person is treated. If one has charisma and self confidence in one's own abilities, those around unconsciously recognise this trait and are inclined to respond with respect. In Daphne du Maurier's novel "Rebecca", the narrator Mrs de Winter's lack of self confidence and assertion are responsible for the lack of respect she receives from others. In comparison, when a character, such as Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre has self confidence, she earns the respect of both other characters and herself.

An idea that arises No Great Mischief[, is MacLeod’s ability to prove to the readers that it is impossible to talk about the Scottish-Canadian heritage without mentioning family history, loyalty and bonds. It is common for an individual to discuss all three factors when discussing family or one’s past in general. However, in No Great Mischief, MacLeod successfully

WILLIAM and Mary sat in the front row. The chairs were arranged in long, straight rows under a tent set up in the field next to the farmhouse. The farmhands and family stood as a fiddler played Here Comes the Bride. Annaliese’s father led Annaliese down an aisle between the rows of chairs. James and Reverend Flowers stood at the end of the aisle, waiting for the bride and her father to arrive. Annaliese was dressed in a long, white gown sewn by Mary and Annaliese’s mother in the weeks before the wedding. William looked up and smiled at Susan, Catherine, and two other bridesmaids standing off to the side. Mary sniffled and dotted her eyes with a handkerchief as Annaliese’s father gave his daughter a kiss on the cheek and shook James’s hand. A soft, late-afternoon breeze swept through the tent, offering slight relief from the blistering heat and oppressive

Eventually, Ellen became exasperated by the group and stepped out onto the balcony where she was able to escape the maelstrom of yelling. However, she did enjoy speaking her mind on the topic of the New York upper class and how she wanted to become part of it. Unfortunately, Mr.Beaufort joined her a few moments later, breaking her temporary tranquility. Ostensibly, he appeared calm and had a conversation with Ellen about her home, but his intentions were gradually unveiled. It started with his sudden comment on Ellen’s hair, calling it gorgeous. She thanked him awkwardly and took a step back from him, only allowing Mr.Beaufort to take two steps forward. Soon afterwards, he engaged in a conversation about Mrs.Struthers’ paintings and how beautiful they were, but Ellen knew that he was a dilettante of the topic, for she had known that most art in Europe would triumph over any of the art in this house. Oblivious of his true intents, he seized this opportunity to come closer to Ellen and clasped his hand around hers. He asked her if she still kept in touch with her husband and if she was currently seeing anyone in New York, stumbling upon all his words. The tension in the air was palpable and Ellen only did what she could; she gave him a smile and said that she needed to step inside, leaving him on the outside. Her heart pounding, she dashed off the balcony into the house, thinking of the look on Newland’s face when she informed him that she would be going to the party, which was now elucidated. She sat down at the table with the Duke and Mrs.Struthers and finished her dinner. After having a few more drinks she began to feel a bit drowsy, so she thanked Mrs.Struthers for having her and concluded that besides her strange and revealing encounter with

The untraditional marriage between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. Lady Macbeth shows how a woman takes charge of her marriage, showing she is

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to honour a man who was amazing in so many ways. You may have known him since birth, as I have, or you may have only known him a brief time, but in any case, he touched your life. He touched many lives, some with his valiant courage and love, some with his kitchen knives. Although our dear friend Macbeth has passed from this world to the next, there is still much to be learned from him. He always had a kind word for me, and although he was bit intense he was a very special man. His face could have entranced the sirens themselves: such was his beauty and grace. He charmed friends and strangers alike with his wit and

For centuries, society has taught its men and women to behave in a clear way and to expect certain things from each other. Due to this, women have been placed second, below men, the submissive gender. Women have been taught to aspire to marriage, to not be too smart, to live their life according to society who tells them how to please a man. In fact, when women saw this degradation of themselves they decided to create a movement known as feminism, the social, economic and political equality of the sexes. Due to this standard of society passed through generations, an average reader would interpret Joan Murray’s “Play-by-Play” to be a poem about older women lustfully longing after younger men and fulfilling their purpose. However, if one were to delve deeper into Murray’s poem, it could be argued that she is taking a satirical approach to the way men objectify women. Marilyn French once said, “The same men who are blind and deaf to feminism are acutely sensitive to what threatens their dominance and privilege.” In looking at the symbols, diction, and tone in Murray’s poem, one can plainly see her disdain towards the societal standard and objectification of women.

The Hall was constructed through speed dating. In the environment of a dilapidated, mold-ridden meeting house, we pandered to egos with a thousand “Hello!”s and “Would you like to donate?”s. iPhones screeched with disconnect tones. Our phonebank was a pecuniary eHarmony, and we were desperate for a soulmate. Finally, after an endless quest, corporate lawyer Austin Bramwell gave the Party her ten-carat diamond ring. Being an ideal five-minute walk from both downtown and the package store, the Buckley Hall lacks the need for a prenuptial agreement: it was love at first sight.

The ceremony seemed as if it were going to be elegant and pleasing. There were an equal number of thanes on each side of the table. The king presented himself honorably as he sat down with the rest of us to “play the humble host” and announced that Lady Macbeth would keep her state. However not long after that things began to get strange. A dirt and bloody man
