The title character of Mozart’s Don Giovanni embodies a figure that holds few ethical values, is wealthy, and endlessly seduces various women. With the use of his servant, Leporello, Don Giovanni is able to evade women who would like to marry him, such as Donna Elvira. Due to his treacherous actions, at the end of the opera, Don Giovanni is forced to decide between accepting his fate in hell, or renouncing his former lifestyle by ceasing his pursuit of women. Despite the dark ending, some scenes

Appearance vs. Reality in Peter Shaffer's Amadeus In the world of the 18th century, appearance was everything; and appearance often conflicted with reality. Such is the case in Peter Shaffer’s, Amadeus, which follows Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s musical career. Mozart’s career was enveloped in deceit and falsity, appearing to be brought on by poor choices he made, when all along he was being sabotaged by Salieri. When Mozart arrives in Vienna, Antonio Salieri pretends to welcome

On November 30, 2017, I viewed a play called Amadeus, from the comfort of my home. Didn’t think I would like it seeing that this would be my first time ever seeing a play like this one. I was thinking to myself am I going to like it, will I be able to sit through the whole play without being bored. Within the first couple of seconds, I was amazed at how the characters from the start of the play really drew me in with their chanting and the two characters going on and on about the tale of Antonio

Perplexing, intriguing, and haunting, Amadeus leaves the viewer with an impression of tragedy and mastery. While the film highlights the finest musical qualities of its main character, Mozart, it primarily casts a dark and solemn tone upon most of the story and eventually leads to his unfortunate fate. Because the film features the point of view from the antagonist, Salieri, it attempts to cause the viewer to sympathize with a flawed and broken character. Furthermore, the film frustrates the viewer

The music in Amadeus has been beyond the simple role as a background of the movie and greatly influenced the flow of the narrative in the film. The movie Amadeus arouses realism and immersion in the life of Mozart which is glorious but miserable at the same time by appropriately arranging the narrative of the film with Mozart’s great music. In other words, the soundtrack of the film composed by Mozart works as the important dramatic device to describe Mozart’s life, the main theme of the movie –

Don Giovanni and Its Relations to Current World Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Mozart is one of the finest and well written ophera piece that introduces a fallen character who seduces women only for his own good and eventually receives eternal punishment for his misbehaviour. It is hard to miss that the purpose of this opera is to teach how its sinful to mistreat any subject of God. Anyone who sin will get punish and everyone who seek for justice will receive their just.

Don Giovanni is a one-of-a-kind character, yet so predictable living a certain lifestyle, almost to the point of being mysterious. It is the enlightenment era however, where a lot of impossibilities were being explored, and presented to the public in different forms, including this opera, Don Giovanni. Although Don Giovanni seems like a total embodiment of immorality, he nevertheless carries some admirable principles, sparkling the enlightenment idea through the story of Don Giovanni. As we all

Mohammed alqarni Milos Forman's "Amadeus" is one of the most hazardous bets a producer has taken in quite a while - a rich film about Mozart that challenges to be anarchic and saucy, yet still gains the significance of disaster. This motion picture is in no way like the bleak instructive representations we're accustomed to seeing about the Great Composers, who appear to be cobwebbed profundities overloaded with the weight of virtuoso. This is Mozart as an eighteenth-century Bruce Springsteen, but

Don Giovanni is an opera performed by Mozart where the main character Don Giovanni murders a man, seduces women, and in the end receives his awaiting fate. The sextet, which is when the remaining of the characters sing, takes place at the finale of the opera. “Everybody else runs onstage…and there is a quick lively finale, where each character announces what he or she will do next—find a new master, join a convent, get married. That, they sing, is the end for those who do evil.” (Pg. 199). This finale

In both Equus and Amadeus Shaffer shows insanity in his characters. He does this not only to stress the characters feelings and state of mind of which they are in. Also, he attempts to cast a blanket over the reader; it gives the reader the feeling that Shaffer designed the characters to express and reflect the beauty in insanity and to convey the ugliness on normality. “Madness, if not out rightly divine, is at best preferable to the 20th century’s ruthless and uninspired sanity, is in this play
