    unfortunately this came at the ultimate expense of the human condition. Industrialization caused a divide in society between the Proletariat and the Bourgeoisie; with a conflict ensuing over power and resources. In the novel Lord of the Barnyard written by Tristan Egolf, many of these consequences are displayed through the lens of John Kaltenbrunner. The mishaps of John can be dissected in any of the three theoretical perspectives, structural, conflict and/or symbolic interaction. This paper will dissect the

    Wagnerian I have a friend, Matthew, who is a Wagnerian. For those of you who don't know what that exotic species is, "Wagnerian" denotes someone who listens to the operas of Richard Wagner and loves them to a degree bordering on the unreasonable. And he's continually amazed by the fact that I don't get off on Wagner to the degree that he does. He also hit me once when I referred to Wagner as a proto-Nazi. Granted we were both a bit drunk at the time, but even so, you

    Nope. I'm taking the plots at their word. Indeed, I take plots both literally and seriously (:wink:) because in narrative forms like story ballets they are the engine of meaning. This has nothing to do with "realism" in the sense of absolute fidelity to observed reality: a work can be both fantastical and serious at once provided it is intellectually consistent. That's what proper world-building is all about. What I'm arguing is that Swan Lake doesn't have the kind of intellectual, moral, or psychological

    For some, turning thirty is a big deal. For Opera Atelier turning thirty is an outstanding accomplishment few companies could ever compare or measure up to. Moreover, retrofitting Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas seven times in the companies history is a creative feat unto itself. I first became familiar with Opera Atelier in the 1990’s. A time when it was still considered to be an “indy opera company”. Fortunately, that label has changed and I’ve been able to witness the companies progression. I have

    Music is the most universal of all languages. Without words it can break a strong man into tears, reduce a brave woman to terror, and turn the most high-strung to a state of peace. Unfortunately, the worth of music in today’s society tends to be decided by its perceived popularity, rather than its use of technique and emotion. This is one of the many reasons Richard Wagner tends to be underappreciated. Despite his masterful compositions and development of many imperative techniques, much of his

    He was an undersized little man, with a head too big for his body — a sickly little man. His nerves were bad. He had skin trouble. It was agony for him to wear anything next to his skin coarser than silk. And he had delusions of grandeur. He was a monster of conceit. Never for one minute did he look at the world or at people, except in relation to himself. He was not only the most important person in the world, to himself; in his own eyes he was the only person who existed. He believed himself

    Therefore, it is the purpose of this paper to analyze Tristan Bernard’s play titled “I’m Going! A Comedy in One Act” using the formalist approach. “I’m Going! A Comedy in One Act” is a farce about a married-life conversation between Henri and Jeanne that is “…exaggerated to a ridiculous level to create humor–and comment on inflexible human behavior” (Clugston, 2010). Moreover, a farce according to our text is “a comedy; a short play, in which both subtle humor and hilarity are developed through improbable
