Infinite variety

How Shakespeare Makes the Audience Aware of Cleopatra's Infinite Variety in the Opening Act Cleopatra was a talented mistress who used her feminine charm for personal gain. She was seductive, lustful, flirtatious, and sarcastic, she had courage, and she was jealous, spiteful, very violent and impatient. She was a woman of many contrasts, facets and changing moods. Shakespeare shows these different aspects of her character in the first act then goes on to build on them

Perceptual dialectology helps to identify these stereotypes and analyze the rela-tionships between different speech communities. Participants mirror their attitudes to-wards other communities in their attitudes towards their respective language variety. The study of peoples’ responses to different dialects does not only concern different language features but also the community itself (Evans 2013: 64). Iannàccaro and Dell’Aquila agree that studies show perceptions on the inside of a community, as

One of the first things that comes into your mind when you hear the word “language” is communication, isn't it? However language is much more than just communication. Language is what makes you different from other human beings. Thanks to it, you can communicate with others, express who you are, your ideas, feelings, thoughts, discomforts, etc. With language you can even change the world, you can hurt a person or you can love a person. Language has many more aspects than what you might think, some

that monolingualism is the most usual linguistic behaviour but language studies disprove this belief showing that all speech communities and individuals hold a rich linguistic repertoire which may include two or more distinct languages, different varieties of the same language and a wide range of registers, styles, social codes etc. The concept of linguistic repertoire is not to be intended as a mere sum of linguistic codes since it also concerns the way such codes interact with one another, their

ambitions; he founds the Enfield Tennis Academy and becomes a prolific film maker. But the chemical influence of depression and alcohol are overall instrumental in his final product. Addicted to the lure of death by depression and alcoholism, Jim creates Infinite Jest consisting of two of the things he finds fatally addictive: his mistress Joelle Van Dyne and

In his celebrated 1,079 page novel set at a tennis academy and addiction recovery house, David Foster Wallace borrows a phrase from Shakespeare’s Hamlet for the title, Infinite Jest. The allusion is grounded in the vital plot device also named ‘Infinite Jest,’ a necromantic film that engrosses the viewer to the point of catatonia and eventually death. The filmmaker is the character James O. Incandenza, who sought to produce a film so radically entertaining that it would affectively tear his son Hal

To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy”(DiCaprio). In both of these stories there is the similarity of young love ending in tragedy. Both sets of lovers feel defined by nothing but their weaknesses. Romeo feels like he can never be enough for Juliet because he is just a Montague. Being a Montague is what he lets define him. Hazel feels as if she can never be known as anything besides a cancer patient. She lets this

Next in the long, tiresome quest for knowledge of The Flash, I decided to research The Speed Force, because it will make it easier to understand the answers to the rest of my questions. The Speed Force is the extra-dimensional energy that once powered all of the Flashes' superhuman abilities. It is unknown to the people of the DC universe where the Speed Force comes from, to them it is a great and powerful force that affects everything. The Speed force can be used as a way of transportation, a source

Infinite Jest page 100-200 starts out with Hal Incandenza and his friends in the locker room at the tennis academy. They talk about miscellaneous topics, but most is just usual stuff that teenage boys talk about. Although, one theme that I find in their conversations is unhappiness. Most of the boys seem exhausted, worn out, and just sick of being there. They go to the cartridge viewer room and start to question why they are even there, because the players on the viewers do not look too happy either

between the two separate entities, the internal and external, perception and reality. This theme manifests as the idea that the ‘other’ can influence the ‘self’, that society controls the individual. Wallace also explores the theme of self and other in Infinite Jest by contrasting the boundary between what goes on inside the characters’ heads and the outside world. Characters such as Millicent Kent feel a sense of loneliness in their own thoughts and consequently seek diversion in something other. Kent
