In 1984 Andrew Lloyd Webber, transformed the original The Phantom of the Opera novel (written in 1911 by Gaston Leroux) into a dialogic, emotional masterpiece. The prologue starts at the end of the story, in an auction in the Paris Opera House, in 1905. Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny is buying a papier-mâché music box,

"It is precisely of him that I wished to speak. Dispose of me as you please; but help me first to carry him home. I only ask that of you." Upon examination of Les Miserables, it is clearly evident that the elements of Forgiveness, Self – Sacrifice, and Courage are only a few of the main themes Hugo wanted to develop.

I have chosen a conflict that takes place in Act 3 Scene 5, between pages 196 and 201. The conflict presented in this scene is external conflict, man vs man, meaning that two or more characters are in disagreement with each other. For example, Lord Capulet and Juliet are arguing about Juliet and Paris’ upcoming marriage. Juliet doesn't’t want to marry Paris as she loves Romeo but her father has a difference of opinion and does does not value hers thus creating conflict. This is demonstrated in the following quote on page 199. Capulet says: “I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green sickness, carrion! Out, you baggage! You tallow face!” Juliet responds with: “Good Father, I beseech you on my knees, Hear me with patience but to speak a word.”

Sympathy is when you have feelings of pity or sorrow towards someone's misfortune (Oxford Dictionaries, 1998). I had sympathy for the monster several times throughout the book. The first time I did was when he was being brought to life, “Unable to endure the aspect of the being that I created, I

Many questions have been asked if Hamlet, McMurphy and Chief Bromden are crazy or sane. Hamlet is the main character from a play by William Shakespeare called Hamlet. McMurphy and Chief are characters from a novel by Ken Kesey called One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. There have been many scenes in the play where Hamlet might seams crazy but without a doubt he is sane. Even though McMurphy do some crazy things he is definitely not crazy because he is aware of his actions and he does all these insane things just to make the Nurse Ratched mad. Chief Bromden’s character can easily be identified as sane because he knows how to stay out of trouble and from getting electric shock treatments.

Who is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? Be sure to use the text to prove your point.

Romeo and Juliet were in deep love and if they would have just told there families they would still have a chance to live. The main theme of Romeo and Juliet is "when passion overrules reason, tragedy often follows", this is displayed in every act and every scene. Some events are a little easier to relate to the theme and some are very complicated but they all relate nonetheless. The passion is usually a emotion like love or fear. The reason is sometimes a possible consequence or a why something shouldn't be done. the tragedy is the result of over looking the reason. I think Shakespeare was trying to teach us not to let are emotions get the best of

A character that is deserving of pity is Cunegonde. Cunegonde came from a line of high ranking people who are killed later in the novel. She was also kidnapped and raped by Bulgarians. She had to have sex with two men that were sharing her. When Candide finds her for the first time, the only thing that he cares about is how beautiful she is. He sees her and immediately believes that he is in love with her. Later on, in the novel, Candide finds her once again. This time though, she is old and hasn’t aged well. Candide marries her and makes it known to the reader that it wasn’t out of love, it was out of pity. I believe that this character is deserving of more pity, because no one deserves to go through the things that she has. No one took the time to get to know her. Candide didn’t really care that much about her when he saw that she wasn’t beautiful anymore.

Disney’s The Lion King reflects the Shakespearean play Hamlet. In Hamlet, King Hamlet is murdered by his evil brother, Claudius. In The Lion King, King Mufasa is murdered by his evil brother, Scar.

Simba runs away and ends up with Timone and Pumbaa, and Claudius convinces Hamlet to travel to England. Scar and Claudius then tell everyone that their nephews had died, and they are the new king. Simba and Hamlet eventually go back to reclaim their territory, and they kill their uncles.

Musicals were originally developed in the 20th century with the purpose to entertain, however, they have surpassed this and have accomplished to entwine with the emotions of an audience group through the manipulation of certain musical elements. One of the musicals that correspond to an unadulterated musical is The Wicked. The wicked is based on a book by Winnie Holzman with the Music and Lyrics written by Stephen Schwartz. The musical focuses on the basis of an unlikely friendship and who struggle with opposing viewpoints, personalities and rivalry. This friendship is shown through the pop melodies with an addition of sophisticated musical theatre song construction.

The theme of Revenge has been utilized in numerous works of art throughout history, including books, plays, movies, etc. Revenge is the result of one’s desire for vengeance, however, revenge is known to be implied under high emotions of anger thus not with reason concluding with a horrible outcome. Shakespeare’s play ‘Hamlet’ is no doubt a play about a tragedy caused by revenge; Prince Hamlet’s retribution for his father, King Hamlet’s murder and Laertes vengeance for his father, Polonius’ murder. The theme of revenge in Hamlet is portrayed through various literary techniques such as foreshadowing and irony.

A tragic flaw is a deficiency in a person that brings them sorrow and misery. A high percentage of individuals have some type of tragic flaw that earns them misery, wether it be a relatively small issue like being a tad lazy, or something bigger like showing open contempt for others.

In the play, Hamlet there are a number of characters that have tragic flaws, including Gertrude and her inability to be loyal and Polonius and his meddling in affairs of others. The character with a tragic flaw that is portrayed most vividly by William Shakespeare is Hamlet. Hamlet’s tragic flaw is his tendency to overthink scenarios and decisions, while procrastinating any real action, which leads in part to his eventual murder.
