Analysis Of William Shakespeare 's ' I Didn 't Say No '

Many college students have the misconception that reading Shakespeare is a waste of time. Michael Mack presents a different view in his speech to college freshmen “From Why Read Shakespeare?” Mack’s speech constructed an effective argument that reading shakespeare will help you in life through his use of rhetorical devices and counterclaims.

This production was ripe with humour, witticisms and a valuable moral message, it entertained the audience and showed a different side of the elderly most would not perceive. Through brilliantly written extended dialogue, tension creating arguments and fleshed out and realistic relationships between characters portrayed the plays dramatic meaning clearly and effectively whilst keeping audiences young and old

The first use of trickery in Hero and Claudio's relationship is when Claudio's friend, Don Pedro, pretends to be

The play has been contemporised. Modern day language is used this makes it easier to understand. Colloquialism of ?sod? and ?bollocks? are used these are words that are often spoken today. Being rewritten to modern day language has really helped me to understand the play more. In my opinion if I was to read the play before it was adapted I don?t think I would of understood it.

The morals and values presented in his works speak to the audience, often offering a new perspective on the world in which they live. Students are affected by the powerful and complex characters and are rewarded with profound insights into human nature and behavior.I firmly believe that Shakespeare's works, like no other literature in the high school curriculum, challenge and invigorate the minds of students. Because of the complex characters, difficult vocabulary and style in which he writes, students must elevate their level of learning to grasp a clear understanding of his works. Shakespeare's plays hold intricate meanings and messages. His

Have you ever read something that didn't make any sense to you? Well that happens to almost everybody when they read Shakespeare. While Michael Mack gave a speech to incoming college freshmen telling them that Shakespeare is remarkably difficult to read he makes his point stand out even better. Mack develops an effective argument that explains to the readers that just because you may not understand something at first doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. He learned this through his use of past experience of working with Shakespeare’s work, and appeal to audience.

Since before I can remember, I have always loved books. Over the years, I have read a plethora of books. Those books have varied from tales of knights, princesses, and castles to books about real world situations. Although I have read so many books of so many genres, very few of them have consisted of Shakespeare.

One thing that I did not like about the visual components was the furniture and the costumes. I say this because in the playbill, the time and place is set for now in the English Countryside. I did not know this until after watching the play. Throughout the duration of the play, I was given the impression that this play took place somewhere in between the 1920s and 1950s. The plaid furniture just gave that kind of old timey feel. Also, the costumes were old fashioned as well. The mothers’ dresses especially, and also the police uniform aided in this thought.

Wow! Really? You've never gave Shakesphere a chance, you should it's worth the read.  If you don't believe me then at least read "Why Read Shakesphere." by Michael Mack. Mr.Mack is a collage professor giving a wonderful speech to his class of collage freshman on the variety of good reasons Shakesphere is worth the read.

As a sweeper in London, I am proud to say that I’ve finally been able to enter the Globe Theater to see “Romeo and Juliet.” Though the area around the theater has prostitutes and murders, that did not stop from the play being amazing. I had saved four pennies in a few weeks in order to watch the play. Usually as a sweeper, you would pay one penny and stand and watch the actors preform, but I was in fact able to sit with higher classes in society.

Small chatter and laughter came rolling down the stairs as the audience walk themselves up the 39 steps of theatre on Bunker in Adamstown to be a part of one of the last dinner theatres left in Newcastle. Cast and production team members of the play 39 steps await to greet you at the entrance, welcoming you with a cheerful smile and a warm meal. When first arriving and observing the inside the building you wonder how this small old church will pull off a play as complex as 39 steps. The stage is tiny and the secrets of a professional production were either missing or completely visible to the eyes of the talkative audience. As the old-fashioned meal wrapped up and the lights abruptly dimmed over the elderly audience everyone was impatient

This film will provide you with an enhanced understanding of the play. Although, it is misleading at times, this version of the play will keep you fully entertained for the full 111 minutes and provide you with extra knowledge of the play. Casting The majority of the cast was well selected,

The play is set in two different realms in which some people can travel between. The play is set in modern day. The play starts of in a simple, dark forested area and shifts to /alternates with a fancy hotel conference room in a developed and undefined country where a meeting is taking place.

I have never been involved with the production of any kind of play, so my partner and I decided that we would watch multiple versions of this play. There was Kenneth Branagh’s version which was sort of lack characteristic that we thought would be suiting for our “soap opera” themed performance.

Sometimes appearing as there is no plot to the play, the Theatre of the Absurd had non-linear plot developments and went against general theatre conventions. Things that were considered a structure of human life such as time, place and identity were often distorted to an extent where the characters became confused on where they were or who they were, and therefore easily fell out of the ‘rhythm’ of normal life and the way that people generally live.
