Man Costumes And Disguise Analysis

In the She’s The Man (2006), Viola Hastings (Amanda Bynes) cross dresses for the majority of the film, pretending to be her twin brother Sebastian. She does this in order to play for Illyria’s men’s soccer team as her school, Cornwall, cut the women’s soccer team and wouldn’t allow her to play for the men’s team. Her main motivation is to beat her former schools team and prove to them that even though she is a girl, she can play on the same field as the boys. While pretending to be Sebastian, Viola initially struggles to hide her femininity, such as when it is discovered that she has tampons in her bag. As the movie progresses her ability to hide this femininity and express masculinity becomes easier. Her cross dressing has an effect on everything and everyone around her and it pushes the line on the comfort people feel when stereotypical gender norms are challenged/ She becomes interested in her roommate, Duke (Channing Tatum) and throughout the movie the two become closer on an intimate level even though Viola is still masked as Sebastian. Duke is obviously uncomfortable with this as made evident by the end of the movie, when it is revealed that Viola was pretending to be Sebastian the entire time. His look of relief reinforces this idea of stereotypical, heterosexual gender roles, as now that Viola is revealed as a female, it is socially acceptable to be attracted to her. She’s The Man reinforces the stereotypical gender roles that society expects out of

On the Twelfth Night or, What You Will by William Shakespeare was written in the Elizabethan era and on the movie She’s The Man by Andy Fickman it was written in modern day. William Shakespeare’s original version has been passed down and changed from the original version and authors have made many key changes to help the new generation understand the story. Authors and directors have changed the original version to help modern day society learn about the Elizabethan era in a different and more interesting way for today’s society. There are many comparisons and differences between the original version and the modern day version mentioned above. In Shakespeare’s version Viola believes her brother Sebastian is dead so she dresses like a man and calls herself Cesario to work in Orsino’s home, but in She’s The Man Viola takes advantage of her twin brother being in

We find our first display of deception in the play to come from viola. She has just been in a accident on a ship in a far away land. She also has the idea that her brother is dead and that she is alone. Now viola is a wealthy woman in a foreign land and this is dangerous. So she decides

She feels pity for Olivia and herself with the statement "Poor lady, she were better love a dream" (2.2. 25)! Viola's use of deception causes a cross gender love triangle with which she can not deal.

movie varies greatly from the original play. The frivolous tone of this adaptation fails to epitomize the historical setting, depth of characters, and poetic magnificence of this comedic play. In She’s The Man the plot revolves around Viola, and her struggle to be recognized as a professional soccer player. When the girls’ team at her school is cancelled, she decides to disguise herself as her twin brother Sebastian (who coincidentally leaves for London to pursue his passion in music) in order to join the boys’ soccer team at his boarding school. However she is instantly captivated by her new roommate Duke Orsino, and he asks her to divulge his fervent and vehement love for their classmate Olivia. The movie essentially modernizes the play in order to remove the boring stigma associated with Shakespeare’s plays but with some futile additions that distort or are gross misrepresentations of the original play.

Viola, the main character, disguises herself as Cesario. She decides to disguise herself in order to gain entrance into the Duke Orsino’s house. Viola pleads to the ship captain: “Conceal me what I am, and be my aid/ for such disguise as happy shall become/ the form of my intent. I’ll serve this Duke” (I.ii. 56-58).

“She will hide all you wish to see about her sweet soul, like breathing and living in a masquerade ball you will fall in love with who she is beneath her mask, and somewhere in the night be her escape, and watch her soul because even with a mask her eyes give her away.” (Cheyenne Rain). In the Elizabethan era those of high social classes hosted these extravagant parties that consisted of décor, food, dancing, music, and dramatic shows usually referred to as masques. These shows that took place at the masquerade balls displayed usually in verse. Even though some may see it just as entertainment masques and masquerades changed the way of a nation, because it allowed people to teach, be taught, and see others views thus forming and changing one another causing a change in the people.

A hillbilly talks, drinks and dresses as he pleases. Well, sometimes he dresses. Other times he does whatever he pleases. Like wearing the naked morphsuit. What else could you ask for from the backwoods country guy? This Halloween morphsuit would definitely turn heads and all eyes would be glaring your way. But more than likely, starring at you with the realistic bodysuit. The backwoods country guy shows and struts all his stuff and stands out bold in the full body costumes. Morphsuit costumes look and feel like your very own skin and are so realistic, that this hillbilly looks like he just walked over a hill from a remote region. This naked morphsuit is complete from the head, to the fingers, to the toes. With the flag bandana, covering the

In She’s the Man Viola decides she wants to disguise as her brother and

The audience knows of Viola’s true identity which helps them form the idea that Olivia

Viola deceives Orsino into thinking that she is a man. Orsino goes on to suppose that he can win Olivia by using a proxy. Orsino contemplates that Olivia will fall in love with him when he sends “Cesario” to read a pre-prepared passage. While the duke is flattering himself with love, Viola is seeking to conceal her love for him.

Gender Identity in Twelfth Night In 1600, under the great social influence of Queen Elizabeth, William Shakespeare was favored by the monarch as well as the whole English society. He is an Englishman lived in mystery even “[w]hether William Shakespeare was born on 23 April, as tradition holds, is not known” (Andrews). The play Twelfth Night, written in William Shakespeare’s mid-career, is among one of his works being widely spread and highly praised. For instance, it is titled “the last play of Shakespeare's golden age” by a twentieth-century director and critic Harley Granville-Barker (“Twelfth Night” 892).

Sir Toby finally has to point out that "‘accost' is front her, board her, woo her, assail her" all in all this makes a very confusing scene. The other two women (Viola and Olivia) are used to add comedy through mistaken identities, since Olivia believes Viola to be a man and falls in love with her. In (2.2.20-21) Viola discovers that Olivia is in love with her and exclaims: "For she did speak in starts distractedly. She loves me, sure; the cunning of her passion". While there are a great deal of comedic scenes there are also those with great sentiment in them.

Dave Ramsey, America’s most trusted financial adviser and a radio show host, once said, “We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like.” (Ramsey). Ramsey’s quote reflects the state of consumerism that our society is going through. Most of us can easily relate to this quote, let’s be honest most of us have been there done that and then later question our genuine need for whatever we have bought. Regardless, if we feel guilty or not we ought to ask ourselves why and what made this purchase seems so important and necessary at the time. Although this might not come as a surprise to most of us, the answer would be the advertisement industry. In 2016, The United States has spent more than 198 billion U.S dollars on advertising, making America the leader in advertisement in the world (Statista). These ads are designed to force consumers to keep buying things that are unnecessary by sending subliminal messages and applying psychology to trick the consumer into a spending spree. In his short story, “Subliminal Man”, J.G. Ballard uses science fiction approach to illustrate to his readers the preposterous techniques that the advertising industry has been using to boost consumerism. Ballard believes that the consumer’s brain has been tricked into buying against their well, by using technology and applying subliminal technics. Ballard short story questions the effect of consumerism on our moral values, lifestyle, and behavior. Ballard claims that

Also, perhaps Viola is in disguise herself.  She can see through other people's disguises or flaws, that not even they are able to spot.  Some characters are deceived about their true nature.  An example of this is that Orsino sees himself becoming "one self same king" of Olivia's "sweet perfections", fulfilling her sexual desire, thought and feeling "liver, brain and heart".  He naively believes that he is in love with Olivia when he has never really conversed with her.
