Masquerade Senior Project

Masquerade Senior Project
Masquerade for the Masked Survivors "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that
ever has" (Margaret Mead). My senior project was a masquerade to raise money for human trafficking relief. Seeing as I would have needed to be
trained to help one on one with those who had been affected by trafficking, giving money to an organization that houses and rehabilitates them was the
best way that I could help. The Engedi House is a safe adult home with a friendly family atmosphere, specifically created for housing those affected by
human trafficking. The residents are required to complete the activities of home life and the Engedi Learning Center.
A $32 billion annual industry, human trafficking is a type of modern slavery that involves the transportation or trade of innocent people for the
purpose of work, whether it be sexual or just for labor. Human trafficking impacts people of all backgrounds, and there are numerous reasons one may
get trafficked. Men are often trafficked into hard labor jobs, while children are trafficked into ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In meeting these learning goals I had to complete some tasks and do research on human trafficking. To meet learning goal one, I emailed many
different Human Trafficking Relief Organizations to find one to donate to. I asked questions such as how the money helped the affected people and
what percent was given to them. To my dismay none of the 4 organizations emailed back. I finally went online and did more research on human
trafficking in my county and found a local organization called the Engedi House. This non–profit organization is led by an outstanding group of

Venetian Masks In Venice, Italy During The 18th Century
Venetian masks were originally introduced in Venice, Italy during the enlightenment era in the 18th century. The masks had many purposes. Some of
those purposes being wearing them as an accessory for party's, criminals would used them to hide their identity, or just simply as an arts craft. The
main way that the masks were used was to hide the wearers identity. Usually criminals because they did not want their identity to be known. Servent's
used them as well so that they would be recognized as noblemen at events. They were worn mostly at carnivals and fairs. The masks were worn too
much that at a point they were banned from being worn on certain months. With the masks no one was considered different, everyone was the same;

Elizabethan Masquerade History
"She will hide all you wish to see about her sweet soul, like breathing and living in a masquerade ball you will fall in love with who she is beneath
her mask, and somewhere in the night be her escape, and watch her soul because even with a mask her eyes give her away." (Cheyenne Rain). In the
Elizabethan era those of high social classes hosted these extravagant parties that consisted of dГ©cor, food, dancing, music, and dramatic shows
usually referred to as masques. These shows that took place at the masquerade balls displayed usually in verse. Even though some may see it just as
entertainment masques and masquerades changed the way of a nation, because it allowed people to teach, be taught, and see others views thus forming
and changing one another causing a change in the people.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Why would one wear a mask? When at such an event usually an upper–class member would perform, the mask allowed them to share feelings and be
honest with their audience. It kept them from having to expose one's self. You would hope to find an elaborate and dramatic costume as that would
have matched the scenery. When preforming a masque, they were not only disguised but sometimes they were portraying a mythological figure to
clearly demon straight their point of views. When one decided to attend one of these social upper class events it was okay for a woman to attend
whether apart of the upper or lower class. However, if you were not a part of the upper class you were not allowed to perform but only attend. As for
men, they did not have a rule on lower or upper class

Symbolism In The Masque Of The Red Death
"The Red Death has long devastated the country. No Pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous" (Edgar Allen Poe). This quote foreshadows
the nature of an unforgiving, deadly plague openly in Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death." In this story, the narrator describes a disease known as
the Red Death but that's not the least of the elite concerns as they are all invited to join a Prince named Prospero in the sanctuary as he has come up
with a solution to survive this deadly chaos. The prince decides to invite his merry friends of nobility to join him at his well–guarded abbey; he even
disguises the terror of the plague by providing entertainment for his guests which is a masquerade ball. All is well until midnight when an anonymous
knight shows up with a black mask who appearance mocks the awareness of the Red Death. The question is who is this stranger: death or an illusion
from the Prince's insanity of escaping death?
Starting off with Karl Guthke, he discusses the metaphor of this mysterious tale as Death is the masked dancer who appeared uninvited. This is
supported when Guthka recounts in the novel, when the protagonist finds himself at a ball in the prince's palace; a knight wearing a black mask
attracts everyone's attention, "but no sooner had they exchanged a few words with him than they all turned away from him, for sticking out of the
knight's lace sleeves were the bony hands of a skeleton" (246). Guthka expresses that death has come to claim the hidden souls

A Doll 's House By Henrik Ibsen
As we are humans we love the repeated events of life. As evidenced in our most loved literature and shows. The great everlasting mask of what is
really behind everything or what really is there. Continuously asking why again, again, and again, never satisfied. Nora from A Doll's House by
Henrik Ibsen provides one of the favorite themes linking her to the Showgirls of Las Vegas, the stuffed animals that roamed the land in the past,
and Edna from The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Illusion is what seems to binds people but, is the illusion reality or fantasy or both? A Doll's
House covers themes that reoccur in everyday life. Illusion sets the pace in the play as well in our everyday lives. A Doll's House is a story of
Nora, a mother who like a doll or puppet, has been controlled by a master, her father and husband. As the play moves along, it becomes clear that
Nora went disobeyed the law and the ideals of her current master her husband to save his life. Once he knows, he is utterly terrified. He never sees
it as an act of love until the fear is waivered. That is the last hope of Nora, his second reaction should have been his first, to be a man and support
her and their family. Having her final hope diminished, Nora rises to be the one to change her life, leaving her husband and children. This occurrence
during it's time is also somewhat frowned upon in today's society. Nora in her own way was a showgirl, from the Tarantella, to her own life. As the
exhibit states, "The showgirl

Themes In The Masque Of The Red Death
In "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allen Poe, the theme is "nobody can escape the ineluctability of death". I believe the plot structure and
characterization create and reinforce this by having Prince Prospero, who tried so hard to escape death, fall to the Red Death. The first point I
would like to make is about Prince Prospero, and how he tried so hard to avoid the masked figure of Red Death. My second point is about the
masked figure and what it represents. My third point is about how the plot structure really reinforces the theme of the story. Prince Prospero is a
terrible ruler. In the midst of a terrible plague, he locked himself up and abandoned his subjects. He absolutely doesn't want to face death. Prospero's
basic philosophy is summed up as "The external works could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had
provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet–dancers, there were musicians, there was
Beauty, there was wine." (pg. 76). Throughout the story, we learn a little bit more about Prince Prospero. He's seen as a party animal, maybe a
madman, and a twisted artistic genius. We can see this in the story here: "But in spite of these things, it was a gay and magnificent revel. The tastes
of the duke were peculiar. He had a fine eye for colors and effects. He disregarded the decora of mere fashion. His plans were bold and fiery, and his
conceptions glowed

Much Ado About Nothing Classics Essay Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare is a classic novel in which love does not happen as it
seems, and there are many themes. In a town called Messina, a man named Claudio falls in love with a young woman named Hero. He does not know
how to get her to fall back in love with him, so Don Pedro, the Prince of Aragon, makes a deal that he will get her to fall in love with him at a
masquerade, but go as Claudio and not himself so that they will get married. Also at this time in the story, a young woman named Beatrice is very

Later on in the story, Hero and Claudio are to be married. But before the wedding starts, it is said that Hero has been unfaithful to Claudio. Though
this is not true, and her being unfaithful was trick planned by two men named Don John and Borachio, Claudio believes the lie and accuses her of
having affairs with repulsive men. The wedding is now cancelled and Hero stabs herself out of grief of Claudio leaving her, but does not die, and
Hero's father, Leonato, tells everyone she is dead because he is ashamed of her. Leonato even tells his niece Beatrice and her secret love Benedict
to let Hero die. I know this because Leonato states, "O Fate, take not away thy heavy hand! Death is the fairest cover for [Hero's] shame That may
be wished for" (pg. 131). This is Leonato stating that they should just let her die because he is so ashamed of her that she may as well die. Claudio
soon finds out that Hero is not actually dead, and now knows that the affairs that were planted on her were just tricks by Don John and Borachio.
Now that their love is not being manipulated anymore, they are finally free to just be lovers by themselves. This supports the theme of manipulated
love is not real love because once all manipulations stopped, they were left with nothing but real love and honesty. Beatrice and Benedick are
extremely hard headed and set in the idea that they will never fall in

Gothic Differences In Robert Corman's Masque Of The Red Death
The power of the imagination is one of the most under–appreciated capabilities that human kind has. Though it is broadly under–estimated, it is
essential to exercise the imagination consciously and unconsciously in order to achieve in–depth understandings of the creative world. After analyzing
the individual components that make up fairy tales and the gothic, it becomes evident that these two genres are unified into one blended genre full of
interplay on innovation and underlying meanings. Both fairy tales and the gothic genre have similar imaginative aspects, symbols and motifs that
interact in unison.
Robert Corman's Masque of the Red Death (1964) is a quality example that epitomizes the many connections between fairy tales in the gothic genre.
Throughout the movie, candlesticks and candelabras appear in nearly every scene. Known to symbolize truth seeking and enlightenment
("Dreamicus"), they are a very powerful symbol in the darkener of the gothic. They are doomed silently to burn away as the inevitable struggle of
self–sacrifice and the joys and pains of love submerges an individual ("Dreamicus")–much like how Prince Prospero sacrifices himself in his devotion
to Satan and endures the pain of allowing his new love, Francesca, to leave the castle in order protect her. Candles also make many appearances in
well–known fairy tales such as in the interior of Prince Charming's castle in Cinderella, in Aurora's bedroom in Sleeping Beauty, and most famously
as a romantic character that comes to life in Beauty and the Beast. The large castles that these candles reside in belong to Princes or Princesses much
like the candles in Prince Prospero's castle. Main characters find themselves searching for enlightenment in non ideal situations and the use of candles
in these pictures correlate wonderfully. Fairy tales revolve around self sacrifice and love; supporting the symbolism of candles. Robert Corman
incorporates candles in his movie cleverly by exemplifying a repressed relationship between fairy tales and the gothic genre.
Another example of how the gothic genre has acquired fairy tale–like motifs in Masque of the Red Death is the extravagant masquerade ball. In just
about every famous fairy tale there is the

Holden The Masquerade
Cessation of the Masquerade Some people guide their thoughts and actions under the lense of a masquerade ball. They lie and deceit others as a part
of their multiple identities. Holden Caulfield, the protagonist in the novel Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, narrates his life from his lenses as he
immerses the readers into his life whilst discovering his place in a cruel world embedded with phonies. Holden's unreliable narrations depicting his life
before his scene at the Mental Institution shed a light on the path to his psychological unstableness as his intentions of his actions are clouded from
others as well as himself. Holden's suppositions portraying the world and the people around him are contradictory in comparison to his actions.... Show

Holden chooses not to pursue his urges to alter his own future as well as the surrounding society. Holden was more than ardent as he recounted his
rife memories with Jane Gallagher, who coincidentally happened to be Stradlater's date. "I couldn't get her off my mind. I really couldn't. "I
oughta go down and say hello to her, at least." "Why the hell don'tcha, instead of keep saying it?" Stradlater said. I walked over to the window, but
you couldn't see out of it, it was so steamy from all the heat in the can. "I'm not in the mood right now," I said. I wasn't, either. You have to be in the
mood for those things," (33). Holden rationalizes having cold feet as not being "in the mood", attempting to place a front to misguide Stradlater and
the reader. It is intriguing that Holden can never fool Stradlater, however, as he always seems to sense the reason behind Holden's unfulfilled
proposals. While trying to deceiving others, he is fooling himself also, as he doesn't regard to the evident reason, which is that he is

This is Not about Much Ado about Nothing People always contradict themselves. They say that trickery is bad and that you should always tell the
truth, but if they are fooled for something like a surprise birthday party, they have a different opinion. Much Ado about Nothing is a play by William
Shakespeare. It is a comedy about two different couples. The first couple, Hero and Claudio, are in love and are trying to get married. Claudio loved
Hero at first sight and got Don Pedro, the prince of Aragon, to woo her for him. The second couple, Benedick and Beatrice, hate each other at first.
They constantly insult each other. Don John, the Prince's bastard brother, tries to destroy Claudio, while Don Pedro tries to bring together Beatrice...

He is very gullible, and it usually is for the worse. Claudio is often fooled by Don John. This is one instance at the beginning of the play. "Thus answer I
in the name of Benedick, But hear these ill news with the ears of Claudio.
'Tis certain so; the prince wooes for himself" (II.i.556–558). Here Claudio is led to believe, by Don John, that Don Pedro has wooed Beatrice for
himself rather than for Claudio. This makes Claudio very upset. Claudio is deceived once in the play for a good cause. After he slanders Hero at their
wedding, he needs to prove his worth:
Claudio: Another Hero!
Hero: Nothing certainer
One Hero died defiled, but I do live,
And surely as I live, I am a maid. (V.iv.2612–2615)
Claudio had been tricked into believing he was going to marry "Antonio's daughter", who is really Hero. Claudio is easily tricked, but not always for
bad causes. Benedick is a character in this play who, although very smart, is also deceived. Toward the beginning of the play, there is a masquerade.
Benedick and Beatrice dance together. Benedick pretends to not be himself and Beatrice pretends to not know who he is:
She told me, not thinking I had been myself, that I was the prince's jester, that I

leave, so I donned my mask of a jester, my mask of happiness. I could never let them, or anyone see how I can be hurt, how someone could hurt
me, how I can be vulnerable. Tears were reaching my eyes. I wouldn't, no I couldn't let them fall sitting by her begging me to come back, and I just

Women In Fantomina
TITLE
Fantomina, written by Eliza Haywood in 1725, elicits revolutionary topics calling into question the woman's role in patriarchal societies and their lack
of sexual freedom. Distinguished in the genre of amatory fiction, Haywood covers the transformation of the eighteenth century protagonist, from a
"young lady of distinguished birth" (Haywood 632), to a series of different persona's, including a prostitute, maid, widow, and an anonymouswoman, in
Fantomina. The reader is constantly aware of who the protagonist claims to be under disguise, but the original identity of the protagonist is left fairly
nonexistent. Rather than remaining the mold of her original identity, the protagonist of Haywood's novel consciously chooses to take the disguise ...

Anti–masqueraders spread their opinions through writing, comparing this form of entertainment to vile forms of promiscuity and prostitution. Well
known figures of the time, such as Alexander Pope, William Hogarth, and Henry Fielding, worried that themasquerade would compromise highly held
values in society. Women saw themask as a symbol of protection their reputations at the same time as satisfying human curiosity. Anti–masquerading
men held the view that every woman under the mask was comparable to a prostitute. Every time women masked their identities, they were in a way
taking on the possibility of experiencing backlash or negative consequence. Haywood's plot operates around the concept of masquerading and with each
persona taken on, Fantomina also puts herself in the position of discovery. As the novel comes to a close, the protagonists masquerade is brought to an
end when her pregnancy can no longer be hidden. This does not necessarily mean that Fantomina is unable to manipulate the patriarchal society in
which she resides, gaining and maintaining control, while achieving gratification of her own

Bronx Masquerade Research Paper
If there was any body of work we could have studied in American literature this year, I would choose "Bronx Masquerade" to be a part of the
curriculum. The way that story not only is commensurate with the subject of the class, but the authenticity that it possesses can allow students to
relate to many of the characters since there was such a diversity in backgrounds. Furthermore, the story can give teachers an idea on how to make a
classroom feel like "one." In the story, many of the characters felt like they were very different compared to their peers. As the story went on, the
poetry sharing in the classroom proved that many of the students could relate to each other's struggles and tribulations. In conclusion, they weren't as
different as they perceived to be. Another story I would add would be "I know why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou. Even though it... Show

However, if I was to choose on what writing I could remove from the syllabus, it would be "A Wagner Matinee." As much as I have admiration for
that story, I strongly feel like it isn't coherent to the other bodies of work that we have learned in this semester. Even though most of the works we
learned about dealt with personal issues, "A Wagner Matinee" has a theme that wasn't as lucid as the others. The story circulates around a woman
coming into town while going to see an Opera with her nephew. In addition, the woman hasn't been out of the house for thirty years, so when she sees
the Opera, she starts getting a nostalgic feeling. In the end, she cries about not wanting to leave. If we were to compare this story to the other stories
we've learned in American Literature, this one would be more out of place than the other ones. The other stories had more difficulties in their theme,
whereas "A Wagner Matinee" doesn't really have too much difficulty even though Aunt Georgiana has issues within

across an unknown kingdom killing many people as it went. There were sharp pain, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with
dissolution. Poe had two main themes for readers to think about. These themes were proven through five main symbols: The ebony clock in the black
room, Prince Prospero in the abbey with his friends, the colors of the seven rooms in the abbey, the format of the hallway and rooms and, Prince
Prospero running after death through all the rooms.

The masks and costumes are a shield to their true self; they hide the real worries of someone and instead show false perceptions of a person's emotion.
Prince Prospero loves the bizarre and the august. When having the abbey made he had each of the seven rooms painted a different color. Each of
the rooms represents a different color of a person's life. The first room represents new life, such as a baby being born into the world. The second
color is Purple, which represents royalty. This can be compared to the way a child feels as they grow up, they feel like royalty. The third color is
Green. This color represents luck and envy, just like many adolescents feel during high school. Orange, the fourth color, represents cautious
behavior; just the way adolescents feel when they are transitioning from a life of limited opportunities, to a life of endless opportunities as an adult
in college. The fifth color, White, represents peace and purity. This is about the time when adults get married, begin to start their own family, and
stop worrying about life so much, and just go with it. The sixth color, Violet, represents old age and knowledge. Many people believe that purple and
violet are the same color, however there is a slight difference of the shade in the color. Violet is the

Internal Conflict In Bronx Masquerade
Inner Conflicts reflects how one views themselves. After delving into both Nikki Grimes's novel, Bronx Masquerade, and Richard LaGravenese's film,
Freedom Writers, it is clear how both stories depict the inner conflicts of a young individual and causes one from realizing their self–worth. This is
clear through the in–depth character portrayal, racial discrimination, and haunting life experiences described in both stories. At first, both Bronx
Masquerade and Freedom Writers show the impact inner conflicts can have to self worth, by in–depth character portrayal. This is evident in Bronx

elegant like Diondra, or have Judianne's perfect complexion, all smooth, super–rich fudge? Better yet, why couldn't I look like Tanisha, or Gloria?"
(Grimes 46). This showcases inner conflict as Janelle's character is shown insecure about her physical appearance. Even though Janelle is aware
of her good qualities, she makes her physical appearance overshadow them. Janelle compares herself to others which make it hard for her to
embrace herself and realize her self worth. This tells the reader how society is so attentive to the outer beauty of a person, that one isn't giving
importance to the inner qualities of themselves. On the other hand this is evident in Freedom Writers when Andre Bryant who is characterized as a
tough and aggressive guy, agrees to a failing mark in Mrs. Erin Gruwell's class. When asked why he did not try he says "It's what I feel I deserve,
that's all" (LaGravenese). This made Mrs. Gruwell question this behaviour and tried to consult him by insuring that he can do it. This

Shakespeare 's ' A Streetcar Named Desire '
Masquerades and Sexuality in A Streetcar Named Desire Masks conceal the truth from the people who look at them. They use color, designs, and
frills to hide the flaws beneath. In literature, stage, and film, we see characters wearing masks all the time, just not always in a literal sense. The
most complex and intriguing characters wear these kinds of masks, to hide their own flaws and scars from the outside world. In A Streetcar Named
Desire, almost every character has a mask they wear, to conceal the truth from the people around them. One of the easier masks to see is Blanche's, as
she struggles with her past and present. She hides her past from everyone to maintain her "southern belle" persona. However, as the play progresses,
her mask begins to crack – initially with the young man she kisses before her date with Mitch, and shatters completely once she is raped by Stanley.
Her mask seems to be created with an aura of sexuality, and is broken once it's used against her. What's notable is that William's sister was
suffering from schizophrenia prior to writing Streetcar. When she was forced to have a lobotomy, it affected Williams, and has played a role in
many of his shows. Blanche's dependence is a part of her mask as well, as it drives a lot of her character. In her own words; "I have always depended
on the kindness of strangers." It's the reason she initially comes to Stella and Stanley, and it seems her main goal throughout her time with them is to

In both cultures, masks were worn to change the wearer's identity and transformed the wearer into whatever the mask represented. Within both cultures,
men usually worn the masks. Mexican culture and Senufo culture both shared similar characterization of masks because they both portrayal animals
and higher beings on their masks. For both cultures, masks were used for religious reasons, often for protection and to produced blessings to the
community. Another similarity was that masks were worn during masquerades and funerals. One more likeness would be the connection the masks
presented between the living and the supernatural for both cultures.
One difference between Mexican masks and Senufo masks was that Mexican masks were used not only in masquerades and funerals but also in
dramas. Some Mexican masks seemed to be used for enjoyment while there seemed to be a nonexistent amount of Senufo masks made for
entertainment. Another difference was that Mexican masks offered a connection to the past and the present for their people because in some of their

As the sound of Launcelot's clunky shoes grew smaller, Salarino, who has originally the last man to speak, was again quick to remind them of the time,
warning them that they must get the preparations ready for tonight.

The Masque of the Red Death
In Aesop's fable, "The Wolf and the Lamb," the moral of the story asks the reader to examine the desire for an object–and how we justify our behavior
if we cannot obtain that object. This moral is graphically presented through the repeated use of key words to describe the fox's repeated failure to
get what he wants. The fox's first attempt is foiled as he "just missed" the grapes (35). He attempts "again and again", running and jumping
repeatedly, but has "no greater success" (35). He then becomes disgusted and walks away. These successive descriptions of his failure build to his

I actually think that there's something admirable about Prospero's arrogance in the face of certain death. His refusal to let anything get him down
seems like a strength of his spirit. It's not easy to basically flip death the bird and stay happy and not scared in the face of a lethal plague. Maybe
Prospero thinks creating one last carefree party is the best way to not let death break him. I'm not saying that he has a right to abandon his peasants.
But his motivations might be nobler than it looks on the surface
Man's relationship with death
The fear of death drives the actions of several of Poe's characters. In particular, the narrator of "The Premature Burial" obsesses about the possibility
of premature burial, and his fear makes him so paranoid that when he wakes up in the berth of a ship, he mistakes it for a grave and has a terrifying
experience for no real reason. At the same time, Poe describes several characters whose response to their fear of death is to avoid it, although the
usual result of their avoidance is increased trauma. Prince Prospero and his courtiers in "The Masque of the Red Death" try to shut themselves away
and ignore the slaughter caused by the Red Death, but death pays no attention to their barriers and kills them en masse. Similarly, the attempt by the
narrator to arrest M. Ernest Valdemar at the point of death in "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" only causes the consumptive patient to die and
have his body gruesomely dissolve into a

But Sheila wanted a good night fuck and she slowly massaged my pride and joy dick through the pants. I can't refuse her offer in that treatment it is

Since Natasha should sleep in the same room as Sheila, I told her my concerns. Sheila ignored me by saying ,Let me just make.
We then all went quietly in Sheila's room. Natasha goes into the bathroom and came back shortly in a Long Shirt. We didn't turned on the light

Prince Of The Red Death
After the Red Death had demolished the country, Prince Prospero invited one thousand of his friends to a masquerade, in order to escape the Red
Death, "...and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the
most unusual magnificence" (Poe 1). Poe indicates that Prince Prospero shielded his noble friends, as the Red Death continued to decrease the
population. Prince Prospero and his fellow nobles were among the upper class and lived an affluent life in the court. 2.) In Prospero 's abnormally
designed castle, there were seven rooms that each had a different color, "for example, in blue––and vividly blue were its windows. The second
chamber was purple in its ornaments and tapestries, and here the panes were purple. The third was green throughout, and so were the casements. The
fourth was furnished and lighted with orange–– the fifth with white–– the sixth with violet. The seventh apartment was close shrouded in black velvet
tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the wall" (Poe 1). The color of each of the seven rooms represents several main ideas relating to
the story. The blue room depicts a new beginning, as it starts from the eastern wing of the castle. While the purple room illustrates wealth and
nobility, the green room represents growth, as it can relate to the outburst of growing grass. As the colors red and yellow mix to form orange, the
orange room portrays Poe 's use of

Theme Of Oppression In A Doll's House
The representation of deception and social oppression through the use of symbols in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House Written in the late 19th century,
Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House addresses flaws within Norwegian society. Ibsen specifically highlights the symbiotic relationship between social
oppression and deception. Many groups within the 19th century Norwegian culture felt social oppression, but women were among the most heavily
judged. In this time period, it was illegal for a married woman to be employed, so she was forced to the monotony of home making and child
bearing. This law has a central role in the play as Nora struggles to break free from her stagnant lifestyle of following social expectations. Like Nora,
many people felt obliged to lie and deceive people to seem as though they were following the rules of society. Ibsen's negative depiction of social
oppression and deception throughout different scenarios within the play contribute to the play's major themes. Ibsen utilizes Torvald's study, the
masquerade ball, and Nora's dress change to symbolize and develop the overarching themes of social oppression and deception in A Doll's House.
Ibsen uses Torvald's study to symbolize male dominance and superiority in order to connect to the theme of social oppression towards women. The first
scene develops this symbol through Nora and Torvald conversation in the study. Nora enters his study to ask for spending money, but she must perform
childish tricks as payment.

Movie Comparison Of Romeo And Juliet
A lot of popular books and plays have been made into movies. Although directors try to keep the movie as close to the book or play, changes have
to be made. One great example of this is Catching Fire and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. (Collins, Lawrence). A major chunk of the book is
left out in the movie. This change was probably made to keep the movie from being four hours long. This change causes some crucial details from
the book to be left out of the movie. Many other books and movies have differences. Some differences between Romeo and Juliet and Romeo+Juliet
were the time period in which they are set, the party thrown by the Capulets, and the way Juliet takes her own life (Shakespeare, Luhrmann). A
similarity between the play and movie was the language that the characters used. The director would make these changes to modernize the movie so
younger audiences would be attracted to watch the movie. One difference between Romeo and Juliet and Romeo+Juliet is the time period in which
they are set. Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona, Italy,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In both the movie and the play they both speak Early Modern English, the way Shakespeare wrote (Luhrmann, Shakespeare). For example, "No matter.
Get thee gone, / And hire those horses. I'll be with thee straight." (Shakespeare 5.1.34–35, Luhrmann). The director would want to keep the language of
the characters the same because if he changed it to modern English, he may lose what Shakespeare meant when he wrote it. Luhrmann might have
thought that it would be too hard to translate it to a Modern English and still have the same meaning in what the characters say. He also may have
kept this because he had respect for Shakespeare and did not want to change too much of what Shakespeare did. Shakespeare fans might have been
upset if the language had been changed. The language in which the characters speak is one similarity between the movie and the

Identity In 'Masquerade'
Happiness can only be achieved when someone is truly comfortable with their identity and empowered to reveal their true selves. Unfortunately,
many people hide behind a false, internal mask of imitation and deception in order to protect themselves from being judged. The common
knowledge of this struggle is an accepted part of society, yet people express their frustrations of acceptance with works of arts, including music. In
the musical, "The Phantom of the Opera", the song "Masquerade" conveys the message that because pretending to be someone else is like a fraud, the
most important thing in life is to be your true self, for it leads the way to happiness. The theme of "Masquerade", which is the freedom of identity, is

After witnessing the eerie mood of the Masquerade, its fictitious joy, and being confronted by Raoul, Christine wonders if she should continue to
hide behind her mask or risk being vulnerable. Christine wears a separate mask for the Phantom, her father, her audience, her peers, and Raoul. She
wants to make the Phantom happy and proud of her, but in order to do that she must step up and sing with her "rusty voice" and become the primary
singer. The cast and crew do not want her to do that due to the belief that Carlotta, the other lead singer, is more experienced and has earned the lead
(Lerner, 1986). Raoul, Christine's suitor wants her to marry him and show her beautiful voice to the world (S34–38). Christine's father expects
Christine to make him proud of her. Basically, everybody has different expectations of Christine, and this is where her internal conflict mounts.
Christine wants to hide behind a pleasant mask to stop all of the attention, but she also feels indebted to live up to their expectations for their kindness
and support. This shows an internal conflict of man versus self; her struggle is keeping herself trapped from happiness. As seen in Christine's emotions

Analysis Of Prince Prospero And The Red Death
Prince Prospero and his friends lock themselves in a gargantuan abbey trying to escape the wrath of the Red Death. While the Red Death continually
rages outside, Prince Prospero and his thousands of companions "retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbey... They resolved to leave
means neither of ingress or egress... With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion"(Poe 1). Prince Prospero and his friends
ultimately trapped themselves in the abbey in their attempt to elude the inevitable. With Death storming through every nook and cranny of the country,
locking their lives away into a strong edifice was thought to be enough to avoid the Red Death.
2. What kind of life do they lead in their world apart? The life that Prince Prospero and his friends lead is one of ostentatious pleasures and pretentious
people. As destruction makes its way through the commoners in the country, the prince "summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light–hearted
friends from among the knights and dames of his court... to a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence"(Poe 1). By throwing a wonderful,
unceasing ball, the horrifying perceptions of death are whisked away into the frenzy of the night. The acquaintances of the Prince Prospero live
wealthy enough a life to be able try to avoid the Red Death. There is a popular belief among these people that wealthy individuals, such as themselves,
should not be subject to death of any sort.

Analysis Of Much Ado About Nothing
Adapting a William Shakespeare play can prove to be a challenge, as so many have done so, making it difficult to stand apart. Accordingly, Plymouth
State University added a modern twist to the play Much Ado About Nothing, and, despite certain missteps, I considered it successful. Furthermore,
director Jessie Chapman not only changed the time period to a post–World War Isetting, but included modern music as well. Accordingly, the costumes
were changed to fit the era, including the soldiers' uniforms. Despite consisting of one location, the set design was convincing, and the actors used it
efficiently. Speaking of which, the majority of the cast lived up to the characters they portrayed, with several standouts. The lighting design had its own
intricacies, with the color of the background light changing based on the time of day or when certain characters appear. The sound only played a role
when the background music played, of which I question the choices for music. Although the play plodded during certain scenes, other scenes, like that
of Benedick and Beatrice eavesdropping on conversations, never ceased to entertain. Ultimately, the play served as a worthy adaptation of
Shakespeare's classic story.
In Much Ado About Nothing, Don Pedro and his company returns from the First World War as a guest of Leanata, the governor of Messina, Italy. The
don's army emerged victorious over his traitorous half–brother Don John, who accompanies Pedro and his men. Upon their

Character Analysis Of Prince Prospero
A Fool's Last Party
With a kingdom in ruins and people dying of disease all around him, Prince Prospero is consumed with no worry except to throw a fabulous
masquerade ball for his knights and maidens safely tucked away in his castellated abbey. Separated from the rest of the kingdom dying from disease,
Prince Prospero is a coward, afraid of Red Death. Prince Prospero is not an admirable character because of his attempts to cheat death which make
him a fool, and by leaving the people of his kingdom to fend for themselves. At first glance it seems as if Prince Prospero is doing the few others
hidden in an abbey alongside himself where he has had the doors welded shut a favor. It looks like he's trying to prevent them from death. This is
no doubt for safety, but it's also peculiar because it looks as though he is trying to prevent anyone from getting out, not just from getting in. This
plot fact gives the story a very threatening atmosphere surrounding the abbey, but it also gives it a sort of power. Since no one can get in, Red
Death seemingly can't reach them. Prince Prospero is also a very uneasy or insane character and these people aren't just locked up in any abbey with
just anyone, they are locked up with the mad Prospero. Months after being locked up, Prince Prospero decides to do something fun and uplifting for
the people who are surrounded by a kingdom overcome by death. It seems as though Prince Prospero is trying to lighten the mood for a fun night
where he has a

understand the statement, let's move on to the first question of why? "On page 69, Walker states that none of the information is common knowledge
today...." The reason that is the case is because in that time it was important. Also, in 1871 more people were concerned about what was going on
around them. It was in mainstream and was a current issues. Also, a lack of documentation caused complicates tremendously. Nowadays, there is a lack

"On page 70, Walker states: The key issue is that in 1871...." And "On page 70 also, it was for their eyes only". Knowing this, how would anyone
know? The civilians of that era are deceased, and cannot speak to what happened. Reserving the rights to exclusively them complicated the
knowledge of history tremendously. So, fabrication was the only way to tell what had happened. The truth, is something that nobody would ever be
able to discover. Knowing that it was all in vain to begin with, it makes it difficult to verify the truth from a lie. "On page 69, Walker states that what
is known about black history...." The lack of information on subject, complicated extensive knowledge on the matter. The information may date back,
however there is no way to decipher its credibility. The inability to interview people, makes it quite difficult. Also, documentation can only speak so
much. How do we know that the information is true? There is a lack of information and resources to verify

Comparing Realism And To Build A Fire
Romanticism deals with feelings, how the story gets to you emotionally. Realism is a life lesson, deals one day at a time. They both see the world
through different views not all the same, but drastically different. Realism is more basic than romanticism is, which is more extravagant and detail
oriented. Romanticism and realism are the exact opposites."The Mask of the Red Death" and "To Build a Fire" are perfect examples of romanticism
and realism. The stories prove the differences between the genres by comparing and contrasting the basic approach to literature, presentation of good
and evil and the plot of these two stories.
Therefore, romanticism brings out the emotional side of people. While realism is the complete opposite showing the human experience. "It was nine

However, it is not only the authors' portrayal of the characters that is important, but the interactions amongst the characters themselves. It is within
Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep that he presents each character through the eyes of Philip Marlowe, and is able to present who they are trying to be,
who they are, and the moral issues which arise in each. Chandler manipulates costumes and setting to show who Carmen Sternwood's character is
trying to be, who she really is and the moral issues associated with each of these as seen through the eyes of Philip Marlowe. Since countless of the
characters throughout The Big Sleep do not show their true colors until the end of the book or characters life, which the latter seems to be sooner
than the former, the literary clues given by Chandler to determine who they are trying to be as well as who they truly are is uniquely important.
She tries to portray herself as an innocent little girl, in order to woo Marlowe, but to no avail. For example, in the first encounter with Philip
Marlowe, she "wore pale blue slacks," with the pale blue color associated closely with that of a newborn baby, showing that her character is one that
is trying to give off a sense of childishness (5). Not only is she seen constantly giggling but she also uses elementary words such as "cute," furthering
her agenda of trying to act like a little girl.

painting has short dark brown hair with a long black beautiful one shoulder dress; her skin color is very light that gives that beautiful glow. Her long

The majestic and mysterious masquerade ball was the inspiration of this painting. The masquerade ball was developed in Europe in the 14th and 15th
century; masquerade balls were held for the high class in the century of the Renaissance. The elegancy in costumes and masks in the masquerade ball
inspired the painting as the result of the woman with the mask and a beautiful one shoulder black dress.
In my opinion, this work of art was truly amazing with the touch of darkness, mystery, and elegancy. The artist used the color mixture very well for that
old antique look. The artist did very well in painting the background black and the woman black dress to distinguish the dress apart from the
background. The phonograph is also distinguished from the background by painting white around the device. It gives that feeling of romance and
darkness at the same time. The painting leaves the viewers of wanting more which the artist should had incorporated more things rather than just the
woman and the phonograph. In the end, the masterpiece is absolutely amazing with a touch of the old century and modern

Much Ado About Nothing Classics Essay Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare is a classic novel in which love does not happen as it
seems, and there are many themes. In a town called Messina, a man named Claudio falls for a young woman named Hero. He does not know how to
get her to fall back in love with him, so Don Pedro, the Prince of Aragon, makes a deal with him– he will get her to fall in love with him at a
masquerade, but go as Claudio and not himself so they will get married. Also at this time in the story, a young woman named Beatrice is very
hard–headed. She believes she will never fall in love she never wants to in the first place. Her enemy, a man by the name of Benedick, is very similar
in her thinking, and also believes love is stupid and pointless. Through a simple trick planned by Don Pedro, the two end up dancing together without
knowing at a masquerade. Later in the story, Don Pedro, Claudio, and Hero create a plan to try and get the two to stop bickering and fall in love. This
plan ends up working, and the two eventually make way out of their hard–headedness and declare love for each other. The theme of this story is

Benedick and Beatrice do as well, but because of this, the love is not as it seems. Claudio is a shy man in love with a beautiful

Elizabethan Era Masquerade
Masques and Masquerades of the Elizabethan Era 1. History behind the Masques and Masquerades The masque which the idea wasn't originated in the
Elizabethan era was taken from the design and style of the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century. There were also performers called "Mummers"
during the early medieval times that would reenact stories all in mime. They're attire wasn't nearly as embellished as those in the Elizabethan era they
usually just kept it simple especially the masks weren't decorated whatsoever, the main purpose of them was to primarily keep the performers face
hidden.. Masques then developed into a form of entertainment for the Elizabethan court members and they had actors that would dress up elaborately
with these intricate embellished masks. They would precede to perform songs and dances retelling stories/speeches most of the time it was to honor the
Queen and if it was dedicated to her she would attend them. But, other occasions the theme would be pastoral, fairytales, or portraying mythological
tales. 2. How Masques transcended into Masquerades Eventually, Masque turned into something more extravagant, Masquerades. In which everyone

Princes were advised by their mothers not to go in case they might fall in love with a low class woman or worse a prostitute. Clergymen and
