Equivocation Analysis

I will show understanding of the plot, character and themes and Shakesperes use of language and dramatic devices within the play.

First of all, it made it a great movie because the director did not forgot to use Shakespeare’s lines on his play. After the party on Capulet’s mansion Romeo sneaks into Juliet’s orchard and see her come out from her balcony and say the famous line of the play of ‘em all “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name! Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (33-36). This shows that even though how modern time is when you start to act Shakespeare’s play with great actors, the movie will always have a good outcome. This is because it is very important to use his lines in able to feel the ambiance

The technical aspects of the production such as scenery, properties and costumes also played a keynote in the productions success. The scenery was fabulous it truly made the play. It was very realistic and extremely vibrant. Almost the entire play was performed in one setting, except for the railcar and dance scenes. The house, the main setting, was magnificent with painstakingly placed detail in every corner. All elements in the house matched wonderfully, for example the furniture, the photos on the wall, the telephone and even the trash can. Little bits of detail were everywhere adding to the beautification of the set, for example the lace decorations on the chairs, the etched glass above the front door and even the Christmas tree.

The scenic design in this play was extraordinary, and I could tell there was a lot of effort put into it. In this play there was a stairway towards the back of the stage. It brought in a new way for the actors to enter/exit the stage. I thought this was very creative idea that was easy to move on, and off stage if needed. There were many scenes that had the moon and the stars in the background. I loved this because it showed the audience when it was night time. I also love looking at the moon and the stars, I feel it creates a very romantic atmosphere. There were times the setting was inside a house or a pub, and then there were times that the setting was outside like the war scene, and the balcony scene. I

The play I chose to analyze was Proof by David Auburn. The play as well as the author were very interesting. Auburn had a long and interesting past. The play itself was original and smart. This play also made me think a lot about the world and my own life.

My favorite part of the entire play, which may seem weird is that face that the scene changes were in character. As Jean put on her jack, she was in character looking out into the crowd. That was just such a nice touch that they added and should be applauded. Secondly, the fact that they had the performance in the upstage rather than in the large auditorium. It was such a minor thing, but I actually had to move me feet because I was worried that I would accidentally trip an actor. That was amazing! It made the play feel more intimate and like I was actually in the rooms, experiencing what they were.

William Shakespeare influenced much of our modern society. For example, he contributed more than seventeen hundred words to our English language, including ‘eyeball’. Some would attribute his success to his brilliant writing style. While this is certainly true, what made the experience memorable was the scene of the performances, the marvelous Globe Theater! The Globe is a feat of history, design, and special effects.

One of the most vital parts of putting on a play is a director who will provide an understandable, and watchable performance. This play was a much easier play to put on as it is based on a classic novel by Harper Lee. From the audiences point of view, the director clearly understood the novel. He gave a very well adapted stage version of the book, however he didn't rely on the audience having read the book, he also created a whole new story through different techniques and fresh ways of telling a story. As a person who has read the book and was a fan of it, and Harper Lee I personally thought that he did it justice and filled some large boots. The director employed very subtle and yet effective staging techniques during certain scenes that required a different atmosphere. Some examples of these techniques were during the scene between Scout and Atticus near the beginning of the play. Here the staging was very central, this provided a sense of a close relationship between the characters. Also, a small inclusion of a chair, or a light immediately makes the scene seem more like a home, and the audience immediately have a different expectation of the scene, for example if an armchair is introduced to the stage then the audience expect a scene at home, however if a desk and computer is introduced then the audience expects a scene at work or in a study and therefore the scene will have a completely different atmosphere.

There was lots of audience participation. we got involved a lot, which made it more real to us and helped us get inside the minds of the characters and it was almost like we had stepped into the world of Macbeth himself.

There were other amenities that were lacking for the theaters. Almost all the lighting for the theater was natural light. This meant that most plays would have to be show during the daytime. The theaters did not have heating either. In the winter months they would have to shut the theater down and be transferred to indoor playhouses. This actually helped boost popularity because it gave the people something to do during the cold winter months since it was inside. There were no microphones or soundboards to be able to hear so actors had to speak loudly and clearly. Unfortunately, there were also no toilets at the theater. “But there were no toilets and the floor they stood on was probably just sand, ash or covered in nutshells” (Shakespeare Globe Education). During the summer hours when it would become real hot the pit would be called the “stinkards.”

Although she hustled, stripped and set fire to hairspray cans with her tits out in bars across New York City for many years, it wasn’t until releasing her debut album in 2008 that Lady Gaga became a household name. Confused journalists didn’t understand her platinum hair bows, tiny leotards, and that purple teacup she used to bring with her everywhere she went. But she was an instant hit among pop fans, who became fascinated by her flashy sense of style, progressively creative music videos and uplifting determination to push boundaries in a pop arena. While Gaga herself was unquestionably odd, her music was not. When you look at the start of her career, the tracks were very catchy, repetitive, and synth-driven but they were insanely huge.

The setting of the play helped to develop the mood. First of all, the abundance of props brought the story to live successfully. For example, the bed and door created the forgotten, quiet feeling in the old man's room. Next, the floorboards were lifted up so it actually looked like the

Although condemned by London authorities, along with cock-fighting, bear-baiting and the bawdy attractions of taverns, the Southwark theater district operated outside the legal reach of the City's officials. But while the Globe Theatre, and indeed, the entire Elizabethan theater scene opened its doors to the low life of the pits, it also accommodated an audience of higher-status, well-heeled, and better educated individuals. As Harry Levin notes in his general introduction to the Riverside Shakespeare (1974), the "Globe was truly a microcosm or little world of man". With its logo of Hercules holding up the earth (as a temporary replacement to Atlas), the Globe Theatre constituted a "little world" in which the social elite rubbed up against a cross-section of common vulgarians, drunken idlers, and other shady, street-wise sorts. Yet, at the same time, the Globe was grand even in the eyes of Elizabethan society's most powerful and prosperous leaders. As Levin also observes in his prefatory essay, recently discovered documents indicate that reconstructions of the Globe as "a quaint little Tudor cottage" have been errant, since Burbage's house "may have had arches, pilaster, and other details of Baroque architecture". Contemporaneous accounts suggests that the Globe was far more impressive than the thatched and half-timbered models of it can capture, having a more spectacular look to its structure than is commonly recognized, one

Chapter 17 covers the first tracking of WWI and how it played out. Before the war even started, Germany had already made a secret plan to knock out France and Russia. One of the biggest events that ignited WWI was in Germany there were many languages that were spoken and most of the people wanted to leave and gain its independence. The war revolved around gaining independence and blame. The Austro-Hungarian Archduke went to Serbia to give it it’s independence meanwhile he got shot by Gavrilo Princip. Austria-Hungary had a feeling that Serbia had planned this ahead of time, which they did. Soon afterward, Austria-Hungary went to war with Serbia and wanted Germany's help, Kaiser William II made the final decision in standing behind and supporting

The problem between physical fitness and high school is very clear. Learning how to better incorporate physical fitness in high school will set the tone and aid one for overall health in the future. Physical fitness is mandatory because the balance between health and high school will equal each other. “Regular physical activity is an essential component of personal and public health programs and is associated with reduced risk for specific health problems and lower all-cause mortality.” (Health 1). Physical fitness should be mandatory at the high school level because physical fitness eliminates a variety of health problems, improves academic performance, and decreases depression levels
