She Loves Me takes place in the 1930s and is an enchanted romantic musical play about two people falling in love with one another. The two main actors, Mr. Nowack and Ms. Balash, work together in a saloon and from the very beginning they could never stand one another’s presence. One reason why they could not get along is that Mr. Nowack thought Ms. Balash was arrogant while she believed he was selfish and parsimonious. If they were in the same room with one another for too long they would cause some dramatic scene. Every time they were in the saloon working together they would have all the attention from the customers and or other employees because of their nonstop bickering arguments. As the play went on the audience began to realize that these two actors each had a pen pal and inside the letters, they would express their passion for one another. Shortly after they started writing the letters the audience was able to detect that Mr. Nowack and Ms. Balash were falling in love with one another even though they believe they hated each other. They were falling in love not by appearance but by what was being addressed in the weekly letters they received. Appearance does not play a role in love it's about someone’s character and that is demonstrated throughout the entire play. The two actors started realizing that they were falling for each other when they would sing iconic songs such as: “She Loves Me”, “Will He Like Me”, and “Vanilla Ice Cream”. Further, into the play, Mr.

Gender roles are portrayed through the complementary theme of love and marriage; the play provides an insight into the motives, pressures and expectations of individuals previous to, and whilst wedded.

During the poem a character, Grumio, has gotten closer to Bianca (Katharina's sister). He is also friends with Petruchio and hangs out with him during the times surrounding Katharina. While Katharina is getting her dress tailored Grumio and the tailor think it is perfect on her but Petruchio argues otherwise. Here, " GRUMIO I confess two sleeves. Tailor [Reads] 'The sleeves curiously cut.' PETRUCHIO Ay, there's the villany. GRUMIO Error i' the bill, sir; error i' the bill. I commanded the sleeves should be cut out and sewed up again; and that I'll prove upon thee, though thy little finger be armed in a thimble.(Act 4, Scene 3)." Obviously again both Grumio and the tailor thinks the dress looks great but Petruchio thinks it looks "villany". This is a comedic device because they are seriously only arguing over what is wrong with this dress that looks gorgeous on

Perhaps the most foolish characters readers could come across in The Decameron were Friar Alberto and Monna Lisetta. Boccaccio masterfully parodied the Church by introducing Friar Alberto as a former con man who moved to Venice and became a priest: already, Boccaccio has criticized the vetting process for potential religious officials. Monna Lisetta, the next character introduced, is a vain, airheaded devotee of the angel Gabriel. By having these silly characters meet in a religious setting, Boccaccio mocked the Catholics of his day, especially once Friar Alberto used his credibility as a “man of God” to trick the gullible Monna Lisetta into having sex with “Gabriel,” who would be possessing the friar’s own body. Boccaccio could hardly be more derisive toward the Church than with this “tragic” story.

A momentary vibration in her voice, which makes you want to hear it more, would reveal itself so fickly that it tethers all of your attention. Chubby cheeks, the only prominent detail of her face when she bursts into laughter. Gleamy eyes, turning into a line whenever she frowns, rendering even her anger sublime. Her infinite visages, there are many for each expression, captivating & stunning like unseen landscapes of nature. Everything becomes a foul odor after your nostrils become used to of her smell. A painting crafted to perfection, people blemishing and appreciating

Isabella is immediately established as a rare female character when her brother describes her with the statement,

children chase the lovers when the man chases the women. Gérard shows his brutal and child like nature when he chases one of his tormentors, when he gets him he slaps him, a primal and a beast just like children would curl. The spectacle of the lovers is always accompanied by either screams or whispers and extremely agitated and exciting body languages. The children are constantly reactive to the spectacle of the love that they are seeing.

Following the Induction, the incessant changes in appearances and the use of disguises continue. This is first seen with Lucentio and Tranio, who temporarily exchange not only clothes but social positions as well, seen with Lucentio’s statement, “Thou shalt be master, Tranio, in my stead / Keep house, and port, and servants, as I should. / I will some other be, some Florentine, . . or meaner [socially lower] man of Pisa. . . . Uncase thee. Take my colored hat and cloak” (1.1.208-211). Not only does this illustrate the power one’s external appearance has on perception, but it demonstrates that appearance, at least in this society, affects how one is treated—since Tranio is seen as Lucentio, a nobleman, he is treated as Lucentio and vice versa,

The play itself is centered around love triangles, mistaken identities and hidden homosexual loves. The play has some homosexual attractions that

In terms of personality, she is extremely caring and doting over her sister which mostly came from the fact, she has basically raised her since she was a toddler. Although she mostly appears to be calm, she also has an eruptive nature and is easily snapped when someone makes fun of her. She can also be pretty stubborn to show no weaknesses. She is kind and warm with others, caring about her friends and knowing they are important to

My position on Isabella is that I am against the commentators’ opinion. The reason being is because Isabella has the courage to follow her code even when the situation proved difficult. I also disagree with the commentators because Isabella confronted Angelo and she does not yield to Angelo’s relentless demands when trying to save her brother’s life. Including this, she is a warrior in which she does not give up in saving her brother, even when the situation is grim. Moreover, Isabella is a heroine because she is a suburb and audacious person. The commentators are also wrong about Isabella because she is a heroine. Isabella is a heroine in many ways however, the most notable heroisms are listed below.

“The course of true love never did run smooth,” comments Lysander of love’s complications in an exchange with Hermia (Shakespeare I.i.136). Although the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream certainly deals with the difficulty of romance, it is not considered a true love story like Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare, as he unfolds the story, intentionally distances the audience from the emotions of the characters so he can caricature the anguish and burdens endured by the lovers. Through his masterful use of figurative language, Shakespeare examines the theme of the capricious and irrational nature of love.

Oh, how love works in mysterious ways: she is a hot-tempered, antisocial, and violence-prone twenty-some-year-old with an unhappiness complex and daddy issues. He is a selfish, arrogant, and loudmouthed chauvinist looking for nothing more than the daughter of a rich man to marry in order to expand his own wealth. How a relationship between two such people could ever work would have taken some great effort by William Shakespeare if The Taming of the Shrew were written in this day and age; however, because of his time period, what seems today like an incompatible pair was actually considered a match made in Heaven, even if they both seem to be significant others from Hell.

In Act II, Scene 2 for Measure for Measure, Isabella and Lucio go to Angelo and beg him to spare Claudio's life. Isabella asks him to condemn Claudio’s faults not Claudio himself. Isabella states, “Yes, I do think you might pardon him, and neither heaven nor man grieve at the mercy” (2.2 67-68). She asks Angelo to pardon her brother of his wrongful act and begs Angelo to not execute Claudio. Isabella’s view in this act is quite apparent, she wants her brother to be punished, but not with a savagely cruel punishment. She states that “ If he had been as you, and you as he, you would have slipped like him, but he like you would not have been so stern” ( 2.2 84-86). Isabelle states that if Claudio were in Angelo’s position he would not have been set on the death penalty, and would have shown mercy on Angelo. On the other hand, Angelo’s beliefs lead him to be so stern on Claudio. Angelo’s impression indicated that since Claudio committed the crime he must pay the price. Angelo states that Isabella’s brother is a “forfeit of the law”(2.2 94). The statement indicates that Claudio forfeited his life once he made the choice of breaking the law. The character Lucio merely agrees with Isabella throughout this scene.

A Midsummer Night 's Dream is a play about love. All of its action—from the escapades of Lysander, Demetrius, Hermia, and Helena in the forest, to the argument between Oberon and Titania, to the play about two lovelorn youths that Bottom and his friends perform at Duke Theseus 's marriage to Hippolyta—are motivated by love. But A Midsummer Night 's Dream is not a romance, in which the audience gets caught up in a passionate love affair between two characters. It 's a comedy, and because it 's clear from the outset that it 's a comedy and that all will turn out happily, rather than try to overcome the audience with the exquisite and overwhelming passion of love, A Midsummer Night 's Dream invites the audience to laugh at the way the passion of love can make people blind, foolish, inconstant, and desperate. At various times, the power and passion of love threatens to destroy friendships, turn men against men and women against women, and through
