However, even if it is clear that Shakespeare was not the patriarchal bard, ‘The Taming of The Shrew’ is quite unsatisfying compared to his other great pieces of work. As I mentioned, the original version of the play does not include closing segment with Sly, and leaving a wonder about the play’s completeness. Still, ‘The Taming of The Shrew’ is an important piece of work which brings out the comedic side of Shakespeare where irony and puns carry the play throughout. Also, as a comedy, this play

There has been heated critical debate concerning whether Defoe presents Moll and Roxana's adaptability in regards to identity as worthy of condemnation or, more controversially, as an impressive feat of deception that overcomes the need for moralising. Novels have been described as primarily a didactic genre, particularly in the eighteenth century (footnote), and yet particularly with Moll, who ends the narrative prospering through her earlier (however unintentional) crimes without a conclusive redemptive

The Legend of Moll Dyer: A Witch in Maryland The first time I heard this story was in Maryland. It was told by a woman in her thirties, who identified herself as being of Irish heritage, which made the story of Moll Dyer more close to her heart. She was also an anthropology major who has had contact with local folklorists in the past. This is where she first learned of the story of Moll Dyer, which she recounted to me as follows: Moll Dyer was an Irish immigrant to Saint Mary’s County, where

Moll makes two major trips to America (specifically Virginia) during her story, but the rest of her life takes place in Britain – and most of it in the big old bustling city of London. Moll is a huge fan of that town, which she describes as "an expensive and extravagant place" (484). And we know how much our girl likes expensive and extravagant things. Plus, her cons work much better in the big urban center, where avoiding capture and blending in with all the hubbub are as easy as pie. For a while

lives. Luis Moll developed a respected idea to create home to school relationships to benefit the students learning. Luis Moll always states the importance of identifying skills, knowledge, expertise and interests those families own outside of school, which can serve a purpose to everyone in the classroom setting and student’s education (Moll, p. 20). Parents, grandparents and other community members can supplement the teacher’s curriculum in the classroom, with their knowledge. Moll calls these

Jane Austen’s view of marriage in relation to the woman’s place in the hierarchical order furthers the notion of Daniel Defoe’s of how marriage is used as a means of survival and status. In Moll Flanders, Robin wanted to marry Moll which confused everyone. Robin would be marrying downwards which was not acceptable. Similarly, marriage is used as a form of commodity when Charlotte Lucas was at risk of becoming an unmarried old maid which risked her survival. When the younger girls and boys are formally

2013, onlinelibrary-wiley-com.umiss.idm.oclc.org/doi/full/10.1111/1475-6757.12016. This essay explores the ways in which power allows ignorance in the construction of manageable subjects. Paul argues that Moll Cutpurse exceeds cultural categories and makes visible what had previously been ignored. Moll reveals that categories of social identity are produced and enforced by ignorance. Paul believes she offers the potential of a transgressive performance that crushes hegemonic power, demonstrating the

Paths and Rules Michel de Certeau's "Walking in the City" provides a clear and appropriate lens with which to view and re-view the 17th century play, "The Roaring Girl." Thesis: Certeau's notion of subversive navigation within cities illuminates a heretofore unexamined dimension of "The Roaring Girl," the protagonists' appropriation of major London landmarks for uses completely unintended by the city's planners. The protagonists in "The Roaring Girl" were able to overturn key social conventions

conventional in the play's res-olution, a pattern played out in The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, and Twelfth Night; yet this cannot account for the defiant and yet compassionate resolution of Dek-ker's The Roaring Girl, where the mannishly clad Moll blesses the marriage of Sebastian and Mary Fitz-Allard and their reconciliation with their fathers, at the same time refusing the conventional solution for herself. Third, Vern and Bonnie Bullough claim that cross dressing has signified both

Class distinction was one of the major problems of the 18th century.The class one was coming from, the reputation of your family was taken into consideration by society.Society was divided into three classes;upper class which consists of people who had power and authority to control everything with money, middle class which includes merchants, farmers, shopkeepers and working class which consists of people who were living under the control of the upper class, usually servants and house keepers.This
