Phantom

The article on the fantasy within the novella reveals the debate of the governess’s mental state during her time with the children. The debacle that can be depicted within the work can be surrounded through the idea that her fantasies represent the point in which she is at her most anxious. When her anxiety reaches a certain peak, the ghost then appears. This can especially be seen just before the first sighting, when she says, “I was giving pleasure-if he ever thought of it! - to the person to whose pressure I had yielded” (38). The pressure she is experiencing allows her mental state to bring out the fantasy aspect of the apparition. Using Zacharias’s article, the audience can see the fantasy is a mechanism that is used by the governess and

At the beginning of the play a group of people see the ghost but when the ghost

The seclusion endured by the narrator causes a dramatic change in her mental state. Her surroundings are now coming alive within the walls around her. “I didn’t realize for a long time what the thing was that showed behind, that dim sub-pattern, but now I am quite sure it is a woman” (736). Initially, the figure witnessed around the walls was merely just the shadow projected from the narrator creeping around the paper. Now this shadow is taking on not just any life form but ironically the form of a woman. Just like the narrator is trapped within the barred windows of the mansion, the woman is trapped within the patterns of the paper. This parallel view is transforming the narrator’s identity within the walls of the paper. However, this obsession begins to heighten. She begins to see the woman through every window in the bedroom. She appears to be creeping not only around the walls but now outside in the garden and along the

Many Elizabethan bedsides were haunted from “the terrors of the night”. Back then their ghosts were nothing like the pasty blobs we call ghosts now. Theirs were quite gruesome. Ghostly visitations were claimed to have been very unpleasant. Not only this, but they claimed it cast them into a state of spiritual confusion.

Suddenly, Franco’s nasal cavities were filled with a whiff of decaying flesh. This didn’t distract Franco. Franco only noticed his composition of a masterpiece, not the decomposition. However, he realized that it was this stench that invited prying cats, the neighbours, to notify the police of an out of the ordinary occurrence in apartment 25B.

The apparitions in this play are The Ghosts of the Yellow Dogs and Sutter. Both these ghosts have the motivation of revenge. Having two separate motives for the piano; Berenice values the piano's history while her brother, Boy Willie, wants to sell the piano and use the money to buy the land his family was enslaved on. The Charles family is being haunted by the ghost of Sutter, whose family once owned theirs. Sutter's ghost appears after he falls down his well and the cause could be the Ghosts of the Yellow Dogs, the spirits of the Charles family's ancestors. The ghost's appearance causes conflict within brother and sister to rise. Sutter comes back after his death as a ghost to avenge his murder and reclaim his piano. In act 1 scene 1, Berniece states, “Just go on and leave. Let Sutter go somewhere else looking for you”. Berniece thinks that Sutter's ghost appeared because her brother, Boy Willie, killed him. In reality, the ghost of Sutter just reminds Berniece about her family's history and the piano. The piano represents her family’s past, struggles, and history. Berniece cannot accept her family’s past and move on. “Mama ola polished this piano with her tears for seventeen years. For seventeen years she rubbed on it till her hands bled. Then she rubbed the blood in… mixed it up with the rest of the blood on it.” This shows

No closure on his fathers murder, and the thought that his uncle married his mother sickens him, events too close. He started to see the ghost when he thought of it because of his lack of closure. (Quote of the funeral food being used for the wedding)

Bernardo has started in the play as one of the nights that had seen and witnessed the ghost. He was brought to where the ghost had been seen, and he had seen it himself. The part that in those times they believed what ghost told them to do. He and another knight went to

When a life’s dream comes to an end there are no words to describe the emotions felt. That is why Dana Gioia and Paul Salerni, in their opera Tony Caruso’s Final Broadcast, portray this emotion through music. One of the most intriguing musical moments is the final duet that occurs in the last few minutes of the opera. The opera itself focuses on the last broadcast of a classical music station before it gets converted into a more popular and lucrative genre. Tony Caruso, who has worked for the station for years, is reminiscing on his childhood and the musical potential he had in his younger years. However, his opera career never took off, so he devoted his life to this station. The opera itself tells the story of Tony accepting the end of his dreams and ultimately the end of his life. The end of Tony’s life is shown through the final duet of the piece in which he meets a mysterious woman. Although her identity is never revealed, the first two and last three minutes of the duet reveal that she is the personification of death, ready release Tony from this pathetic ending. The woman’s identity is shown through the lyrics of the duet as well as the music itself. By applying several theories of emotion mentioned in Stephen Davie’s Emotion Expressed and Aroused by Music it is easy to see how the music itself reveals the identity of death.

At around ten o’clock at night, a young girl was laying in bed when all of a sudden someone started rubbing her cheek. She looked around and no one was there. Was this her imagination, or was someone there? Ghosts always make their presence known, just like the Ghost in the tragedy Hamlet written by William Shakespeare. Throughout the character of the Ghost of Hamlet’s father, Shakespeare portrays many Elizabethan beliefs on ghosts. Shakespeare creates the question: is the ghost good or bad? Many people have their own opinion on this question, but in this writer’s opinion, the Ghost of Hamlet’s father is a good ghost because throughout the tragedy the Ghost of Hamlet’s father never physically hurts anyone, instead he persuades Hamlet

In Act 1 – Scene 1, the audience is instantly shocked into interest by the exchange of short, sharp speeches between the very nervous sentries of the castle. What follows is the audience’s discovery of the frequenting appearance of a Ghost and the sentries’ plans to have

While reading one of our assigned plays, The Ghost Sonata by August Strindberg, I found myself confused throughout most of the play, for this reason, I attended one of the performances at Tulsa Community College’s Southeast Campus in the Studio Theatre. I was present for the Friday show, October 7, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. The play was directed by, TCC’s Coordinator of Theatre Faculty Chair of Visual and Performing Arts and Assistant Professor, Mark Frank.

Thus is explained the rationale of the “play within a play” which is seen as necessary for the climax of the drama. To begin consideration of the Ghost, let it be said that the Ghost makes his appearance even before the play has opened. Marchette Chute in “The Story Told in Hamlet” describes the ghost’s activity prior to the opening scene of Shakespeare’s tragedy:
