Through the many different dynamics that have happened throughout both of these films “Macbeth” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” both of them have had very different type of dynamics with different characters. When I watched “Macbeth” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” I found one relationship for each of the films. Most dynamics are provoked by the antagonist’s reactions but they aren’t really shown. I will be comparing the dynamics in both of the relationships of the two different films as well as

Desdemona (Good morningJuliet) uses intertextuality to unveil the complete Shakespearean characters of Juliet and Desdemona to reveal the feminist narrative lurking between lines of Shakespeare’s plays. Only through the intertextual re-examination of the Shakespearean text itself via the interjection of genre and the reassigning of dialogue, within the metatheatre, is the true feminist representation of the female Shakespearian characters unveiled from behind the patriarchal preconceptions.

How is contrast displayed in Shakespearean drama? Playwright William Shakespeare’s works are not written in the way we normally see poems and plays. His writing often displays the contrast between his works. Shakespeare utilizes contrast in his plays “Measure for Measure” and “Julius Caesar” through his themes and characters to carry out the Shakespearean tragedy. Shakespeare demonstrates the contrast in his works through his non-uniform look on tragic stories. In both plays, Shakespeare’s use of

honour, ambition and courage- humans still experience these emotions which give Shakespeare a foothold in modern times. Shake and Stir sequenced together an array of modified scenes from Shakespeare’s most iconic plays, to implore dramatic meaning: Shakespearean text can be rendered to engross modern audiences while maintaining its integrity and Elizabethan charm. “Great Shakes” is staged in a graveyard, where three year ten students, Betty, Brock and Ben are incarcerated.

2. SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDY Shakespearean tragedy is the title given to most tragedies written by the playwright William Shakespeare. “Shakespearean tragedy began, roughly speaking, with marked indebtedness to the tragic writing of Marlowe and Kyd: poetry, character, and style from Marlowe; motive, plot, and tragic intensity from Kyd. No evidence suggests Shakespeare was ever particularly aware of or influenced by, Aristotelian theories of tragedy”. (Bevington, 1980) The plays we usually have in mind

experience these emotions and challenges which gives Shakespeare a foothold in modern times (Bruster, 2014). Shake and Stir sequenced together an array of modified scenes from Shakespeare’s most iconic plays, to implore the dramatic meaning that Shakespearean text can be rendered to engross modern audiences while maintaining its integrity and Elizabethan charm. “Great Shakes” is staged in a graveyard, where three year ten students, Betty, Brock and Ben are incarcerated.

An example of this is Moby Dick by Herman Melville, which was influenced by none other than Macbeth. The parallel can be seen between the characters of Macbeth and King Lear. Each man is overcome by their unchecked ambition, only for it to cause their demise. Another piece of literature with a Shakespearean influence is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
