Rupert Goold

scene that stood out during the play is Scene Four of Act Three, the celebration that Macbeth and the Lords hold in honor of Macbeth’s new throne of power. While both Roman Polanski’s and Rupert Goold’s variations of the famous play portray this scene, it can be spoken, and quite explicitly that is, that Goold has created an excellent display of the beginning of Macbeth’s spiral into insanity and self-delusion. When perceived in detail, it can be observed that the moment when Macbeth first acknowledges

Duncan and takes over the throne himself. Yet, in return Macbeth then suffers from liability and paranoia. Copious amounts of adaptations have been made to modernise the 16th Century play. Rupert Goold’s adaptation was broadcasted in 2010 on BBC Four to suit the modern spectators and adapt the

War is a subject that often stirs upon many emotions with those directly or indirectly involved. It may bring tears, memories of suffering and loneliness, struggles, or victories. Such disturbance of peace has wounded and killed many souls. It is on the battlefield we see the most hideous side of human nature, for every soldier's only objective on the battlefield is to survive and win. Many people have opposing views about wars which may have been developed over time based on many factors such as

Ok what I have got here today is a detailed speech and I intend to explain two poems “Disabled” and “Dolce et Decorum est.”, both written by Wilfred Owen. I would choose these two poems to be in an anthology because I found the poems to be very dramatic and extremely detailed. Owen intends to shock us by demonstrating what a soldier might expect in a situation between life and death. He is not afraid to show his own feelings. Wilfred Owen is an anti-war poet and expresses his ideas and feelings through

The poem ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ by Wilfred Owen portrays the horrors of World War I with the horrific imagery and the startling use of words he uses. He describes his experience of a gas attack where he lost a member of his squadron and the lasting impact it had on him. He describes how terrible the conditions were for the soldiers and just how bad it was. By doing this he is trying to help stop other soldiers from experiencing what happened in a shortage of time. Owen opens his poem with a strong

The attitudes to war and the reality of war are presented and developed in the play, Henry V and a selection of WW1 poems in a variety of ways. Parts of the play can be linked in with WW1 poems such as 'The Soldier ' by Rupert Brooke, 'Who 's for the Game ' by Jessie Pope, 'Suicide in the Trenches ' by Siegfried Sassoon and 'Dulce Et Decorum Est ' by Wilfred Owen. The Henry V play is set in England in the early fifteenth century. The political situation in England is tense: King Henry IV has

Introduction To better understand what media sources the Singaporean diaspora uses to find out about news back home in Singapore, I conducted a survey amongst Singaporeans based overseas, namely in places such as Australia, the United States, some countries in South East Asia and also in Europe. The demographics used were age based, dispersed mainly among working class adults and university students. The survey resulted in a 40% readership of www.straitstimes.com, the online version of Singapore’s

Wilfred Owen: The Solider Poet Wilfred Owen reflects a dislike of how war is portrayed in his poems “Dulce et Decorum” and “Disabled”. Owen enlisted to fight in World War I in 1915 after teaching English for two years in Bordeaux. It was during his enlistment that he was sent to the front lines of the war in France. Two years later Owen was sent to the Craiglockhart War Hospital to be treated for shell shock until he could return to combat. Then, in 1918 five of his poems were published and he

The poetry written in World War I was mostly dark and told of the terrible conditions of the war. The poetry shows how the soldiers suffered and struggled through unimaginable conditions. The conditions of the weather and battle were often brutal and uninhabitable; yet the soldiers endured these conditions. Nature was often a slow and painful killer. War is a constant in an ever changing world. It is easy to see that fighting is an almost futile attempt to conquer and prevail. The poetry from the
