Comedy In Errors: Will Ferrell

His presenting self was the safeguard to his private self. Will was very much aware of his gift and his enormous potential but shunned it like some burden, or at least that's what he wanted others to believe. He often told Sean Maguire, his shrink with whom he had developed a bond, that his gift was something he didn't ask for, and he'd be perfectly fine working an honorable blue-collar job with his buddies. Despite his assertion regarding his gift as an aggravation Will's actions contradict, for he is asked why he just so happened to get a custodial job in the world's foremost institute for technology, M.I.T if he wanted nothing to do with his genius. Maguire sees behind Will's visage, he realizes Will is a wounded soul who really knows nothing about life for he hasn't experienced it, it is so much more that what he read in a book. It is hard to say what Will should have done for he had a difficult past one that most cannot relate too, or have any idea what it may be like to live it. However, If Will had been a little more open to the people who wanted to love him he would have been much happier. In his quest to never be hurt he was headed for a life where he would never be loved. His thoughts were becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy; where one's expectations of an event make that event more likely to occur (Adler, 65). Had Will been honest with himself and more willing

For example, when confronting an old foster home “Friend”, by the name of Carmine, Will unleashed an onslaught of punches, which lead to Will Knocking out Carmine then being arrested for assault by the local cops. When Will saw his old friend, memories of the abuse that his foster family gave him sprang onto Will’s head and triggered his mind to give some payback for everything that he experienced as an abused kid in the foster home. Not only that but his mood drastically changed from the moments prior to seeing Carmine. Before seeing Carmine, Will was planning to have a good time with his friends at a baseball game, But that changed as he saw Carmine at the game as well. Once he saw Carmine, Will was determined to beat Carmine up, as carmine did to him when he was a kid. Clearly in the movie, Will is a mathematical genius, as he was able to solve the problem that Professor Lambeau wrote on the chalkboard outside his room. However when Lambeau confronted Will, after he found out who solved the problem, Will ran away from the professor instead of being congratulated for his success in solving the problem. A valid reason why Will did not accept the praise from the professor was because he had a negative self-image of himself. To understand what a negative self-image is, it is important to know what the term self-image means. Karl Perera, from the website, More-selfesteem.com defines the term self-image as, “ how you see yourself. This may be how you see yourself physically or your opinion of who and what you are which is normally called self concept. It is important as it

In PG-13 films, like Ride Along 2, he relies upon nonsensical moments, like an alligator eating his shoe or sticking his head into a ceiling fan, for lackluster laughs. Both of those scenes, I might add, didn't even warrant a sympathy laugh, let alone the reaction it was going for.

Northern Arizona University's Production of Comedy of Errors was, by far the funniest thing I have ever seen, as far as plays go. Now, I haven't seen very many plays in person, but it was still hilarious. It was definitely different from the last play I saw, which was Good People by David Lindsay-Abaire. I enjoyed both plays, but for different reasons. I won't go into detail about Good People, because that was my last paper. This paper is about Comedy of Errors.

Many a times, society tends to view its outcasts as lonesome, introverted people, who lack happiness and glee due to their secluded nature. Tim Burton, in part to his eerie film style and the fact that he sees himself within his characters, reflects upon this idea within his films, often depicting characters that have these outcast traits. However, Burton contradicts the aforementioned concept by exemplifying the fact that his protagonists are often happy, full of joy, and very content with themselves, even though they may be introverts. Therefore, through his use of close ups and flashbacks, Burton creates the theme that one does not need to conform to society in order to be pleased and comfortable with himself.
