Throughout history, the use of subliminal messaging has been highly prevalent within various forms of media consumed by the human race. Using it allows authors to influence their political or societal viewpoint through implicit methods. Even stories as rudimentary as those produced for the entertainment of children, contain hidden messages deeply imbedded within them. Marxist theory, the analysis of the role of politics, money and power within literary works, allows readers to examine principles promoted by the author; these can be especially demonstrated in Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont’s Beauty and the Beast. These themes are exemplified through the bourgeoisie mindset of the elder sisters, the proletariat mentality of Beauty and the direct influence of wealth on the prominence of the merchant.
“Just a little change, Small to say the least, Both a little scared, Neither one prepared, Beauty and the Beast.” The beautiful beauty and beast song. Three versions of this story all similar yet, different. From the original published in 1757 by Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont. To Disney and then to the new one.
We are being told the story by various narrators through song. The world of the play and the audience’s was never separated by a fourth wall. We were watching them tell us a story, but they knew we were watching. We were an audience to a real story. We were integrated into the plot. The audience did not have a major role. It was not as if the fourth wall was ever broken. The fourth wall in this play simply did not exist. Narrators are a very good way to make a play presentational without the audience having to be too involved. Every time a new story started or scene I suppose, we were introduced as the listeners. I like feeling like I am a part of what is going on onstage without having to act on stage. I actually prefer this type of presentational play over a representational play where I am being creepy looking in on the character’s
There was a lot of breaking the fourth wall to keep to audience involved because the main priority of this play was to entertain not to tell a story, in fact a lot of the story was left out and left the audience’s imagination. In the climax of the play the villain is shot dead by a mysterious hand that you could see creep out of the curtain and shot him. His final words were “IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A CAST OF FOUR!” as all four actors were on stage so it couldn’t have been anyone the audience were aware of.
She did not just sing song the whole time, she would also give a brief description about the song to the audience to make it more interesting and yes, she can speak really fast. There were two things I liked the best in the event, first, reading the poem “Little Boy Tamir” because I was explained this poem
She’s Beauty and The Beast is my favorite podcast easily. Tracy G is so dramatic in her delivery and her voice is so soothing. “Tracy G. is a media maven from Brooklyn, New York passionate about pop culture, women empowerment and perhaps above all, embracing individuality (Rose, 2016). She delivers her message in an energized 13-50 segment, and goes off script so it doesn’t feel forced, with a little tinge of Brooklyn flavor.
She provided a brief description about the songs to the listeners to make it more lively and yes, she recited some of the lines fast. I was immensely engaged
I sang the song through on a lip trill to work on consistent air. I sang it through “like a witch” and this opened by sinuses and raised my back pallet. By singing through the aria with my tongue out as Millan had suggested to Marlee, I noticed a more relaxed tongue. I worked to be conscious of my posture, especially in keeping the head aligned with the body. I practiced the habit of dropping the stomach when I run out of air, and hopefully this improved my breathing. I enjoyed Millan’s experiment in asking three students to turn around and have their backs to Becky as she sang Skeleton Song. She had to convince them to turn around as she was singing (this was the same tactic Millan would later use when working with Rachael, and it produced similar results). It heightened the intensity and emotion, gave Becky an objective, and forced her to reach her voice to the back of the room where they were standing. I worked on aiming my voice to the back of the room during my performance in front of school friends, who were purposefully standing on the opposite end of the orchestra room. I worked on intensifying my emotional investment towards the Countess, as well as connecting with my audience. A few years ago the audience terrified me, but now connecting with them and getting reactions is my favourite part of singing. Logan’s piece Smile was a great example of the performer-audience relationship because Logan’s goal to make the audience smile with
Laurie Strode is the lead female character in Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis plays Laurie, the last girl standing after going face to face with masked killer Michael Meyers. Alice, played by Adrienne King, is our final girl in Friday the 13th. Laurie and Alice quite similar at first glance--virginal, but not-so-innocent, old fashioned American girls.

The movie ‘Her’ is the story about Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), an intelligent computer operating system personified through a female voice. At the beginning of the film, Theodore is completely inept when it comes to how to make relationship with person, specifically women. However, after he gets to know Samantha, an OS program, a feeling of true love develops inside of Theodore’s mind. Then he realizes how he was fatuous in his past. Throughout the film, the director (Spike Jonze) uses five distinct color schemes to correspond Theodore’s feeling and situation.
“Beauty and The Beast” is a classic well known romantic Disney movie that depicts the gender role of men and women in society. The film is based upon a smart young female protagonist named Belle who is imprisoned by a self-centered young prince after he has been turned into a beast. They both learn to love each other in the end and throughout the film there are several examples shown portraying the roles of gender. In the film the main characters Gaston and the Beast portray themselves as rude, conceited and more important than the woman even though the main character Belle is a woman whom is considered odd, yet smart, and unrelated to most women in society.
In Act I Katherine is described by other characters to be very “shrewd” and “sharp-tongued.” She expresses no interest to marry and insults those who are offered to marry her. At one point Katherine says, “I pray you, sir, is it your will to make a stale of me amongst these mates?”(1.1.57-58) In this quote she is implying that her father’s intent to marry her off is an insult. The attitude she has towards being married is a problem because it deters many suitable males from wanting to marry her, but her sister Bianca is desired by many. Considering how different Katherine and Bianca are despite the fact that they are sisters, it brings forth the question of, why?
All over the world Feminism is a current topic of concern and there are very few advocates who are currently fighting for gender equality. In the media men and women are attempting to use their voices to fight for equal rights and get the message across to all generations. In this paper, I will be analyzing the movie Beauty and the Beast (2017) by drawing upon the feminist theory, which will demonstrate how the main female character, Belle challenges the modern-day system of inequality and the socially constructed gender roles. I will do so by examining why Emma Watson was chosen as the leading actress, how Belle is different than the other women in her town, the modifications from the original movie, and how Belle ultimately gets to decide her destiny. I will also consider why some people may view the film as anti-feminist, which will allow for me to understand a different perspective. It is my thesis that socially constructed gender identities are negatively presented in popular culture, however actors and actresses are attempting to use their influence to make an impact and move towards equality.
The version of Beauty and the Beast by Jeanne- Marie LePrince De Beaumont tells a compelling story of a young women making sacrifices for her family, and finding love through these sacrifices. Beauty and the Beast is a fairytale meant to educate young children on the importance of family, and that life is full of making sacrifices; while also teaching children to appreciate what is on the inside, and not just on the outside. The protagonist of the tale is Beauty. Beauty is a caring, family- oriented, strong, loyal girl whom everyone in the town adores. She kept to herself, but would do anything for anyone, especially her father. With many opportunities to get married, Beauty stayed loyal to her father, until she realized she was in love with Beast. When the family lot their fortune men still proposed to Beauty, even though she did not have money. Beauty politely turned them down; “She told them that she could not bring herself to abandon her poor father in his distress and that she would go with him to the country in order to comfort him and help him with his work.” (32)
