"Please explain to me once again why I agreed to do this?" Loki muttered from his position at the
stove, sautéing peppers and onions in one pan. Loki was really starting to warm up to Chicago,
though it was metaphorical and not literal. Outside it was a balmy seven degrees and while it was
too cold to snow, the wind felt as if you were being stabbed with knives. Not that Loki really cared,
as a frost giant and had been stabbed with knives before, he joked that it made him feel at home.
"Because you love me and you want me to be happy," Lyndsey laughed as she settled down with her
glass of sparkling grape juice. She had just gotten home about a half an hour ago, almost completely

"You're the one that agreed with me that masquerade balls are fun and I've never even been to one."
"My, you are in a rather combative mood today," Loki left the food to simmer for a minute and
walked over to her with his glass of wine, using his free hand to grab hers. "Hard day at work?"
"Not as bad as the snow day a couple days ago, but the after school program..." Lyndsey sighed and
ran her fingers through her hair. "We also had a lot of homeless people in because of the weather,
which means making sure there were no fights or accidents." "You know, you don't need to work
there, or anywhere, if you don't want to," Loki's voice was soft, his thumb rubbing against the back
of her hand. "I want to, it's just stressful sometimes. However, I would feel awful if I just sat around
and did nothing." Lyndsey never asked how Loki paid for the apartment or the bills. They had a joint
account, but none of her money ever seemed to leave except for the phone bills. She knew that it
was probably not right, but she didn't care if he used magic to make money out of thin air, for 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 more content on Helpwriting.net ...
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

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
Masquerade when Janelle Battle, one of Mr.Ward's students, receives a compliment from her friend
Lupe, also Mr.Ward's student. Janelle responds saying: "Yeah, well, I guess ... Show more content

I mean, I am smart and funny, and I know I'm a good person. But this is high school, and nobody
seems to care about that. Why couldn't I be tall and 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

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

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 hard

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

Oil Painting, The Unknown: Robert Bean
The Unknown
As I walked to The Art museum to observe a few of the art work. There were many canvases, but
one particular canvas that caught my attention was an oil painting. The oil painted canvas is of a
realistic mysterious woman and a phonograph, by the artist named Robert Bean. The woman shown
in this 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 black dress has a mixture of dark blue and
white. She is standing with her arms semi–crossed with one hand holding a small white fan. The
small fan has a design of brown flowers. She is standing sideways on the right of the canvas with a
piece of light green fabric around her arms; the light green material has a tent of light blue and ...

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

Masquerades As World History
First of all let's look at this statement: It is sufficient to demonstrate that what now masquerades as
World History is largely fictitious. Before we support this statement, let's decode it. It is appropriate
to demonstrate that what now covers up as World History is largely false. Now, that we 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

"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

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, ...
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

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 I setting, 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

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

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

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 pamphleteers criticized the decline of social morality

the prices to get into Masquerades to be put up in order to make sure the other classes couldn't

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.

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 anonymous woman, 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 ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
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 the masquerade would compromise highly held
values in society. Women saw the mask 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

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

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.

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

The Simple Art Of Masquerade
The Simple Art of Masquerade Centuries ago, long before the thoughts of man were transcribed into
words, drawings were used to convey the thoughts and ideas, each telling a story like no other, with
an even greater discord between the accurate meanings of the story and meaning which the reader
garnered from the tale. Fast forward a few centuries to a time where stories were ultimately being
shared by word of mouth, altering a bit from the original thoughts and ideas of the author who
formerly spoke the tale. Traveling yet a few more centuries now to a time where stories are now
written and transcribed, not only by hand but also, finally, by printing press. This illustrious
invention paved the way for those who wished to share their ... Show more content on

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.

Narrative Essay About A Masquerade Ball
"Aahat Aahat Bloot!" sounded the busy cars in Times Square, New York City. The clock struck
twelve and the street filled with people and preposterous, loud music. I don't know how I ended up
here; I remember leaving the New Years Masquerade Ball to head home before my stepmother
returned, but seems like I headed the wrong way. My attire for the ball was different; I now wore a
red dress that was clenching, tight with white stripes. I wandered around bewildered at the people
and events happening. Eventually, the mass of people from the street started to move towards this
building, so I followed behind the crowd. Immediately after we arrived in the building, the aroma of
the place was sickening. The room was filled with alcohol with a stench of marijuana; there were
people unconscious on the floor and some were throwing up. My mind was appalled at how
unaware the people were to their surroundings. Somehow I found myself in the kitchen of the place,
they were handing out drinks and bottles. The back of my mouth began to water for the drink, take
into mind, I haven't had anything to drink since the ball. To quench my thirst, I instantly snatched

The music faded out and the only thing I could hear was the bass of the songs. Several males tried to
come up and hit on me, but I curved them quick. There was this one boy though, whose face seemed
to remind me of home. Although I knew he wasn't from where I was from, my mind still had hope
that he would help lead me home. When I approached him, he turned around quickly and admitted
he knew I was lost and offered to help me get home. A sense of relief, comfort, and happiness ran
over my body; I thanked him for understanding the urgency of me getting home. He then offered me
a pill to help with a headache that he assured was soon to come. The commodious building now
seemed to be narrow and congested; the room began to spin and then I

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 find a

I knew what I should do, I knew that I needed to remove the toxic people from my life but it was all
I knew. It made me want to curl up into a ball, but I couldn't because I was strapped down. I wasn't
sure if I could stay anymore I was so saddened by my decisions in life and I just wanted to 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 couldn't. She
tried kissing me but I just couldn't. I had tried so hard to wear the mask of a man, to be the strong
and gentle person she deserved but I couldn't go through this again, never again. Her begging turned
to yelling as she threw her sticks and stones at me, they say word can never hurt me but I have never
felt that bad. Her angry face and hurtful words shattered me into a million shards. In the mid
afternoon sun I put on my mask of a jester once more and I laughed. I laughed and laughed through
the pain as I sat upon my tailgate broken and alone, tears streaming down my smiling face as I

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

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

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 o'clock in the morning. There was no sun or

Realisms' plot centers on ordinary everyday life. "Empty as the man's mind was of thoughts, he was
most observant. He noticed the changes in the creek, the curves and the bends. Once, coming around
a bend, he moved suddenly to the side, like a frightened horse. He curved away from the place
where he had been walking and retraced his steps several feet along the trail...." This is from the
story "To Build a Fire" and its plot is based on this man's final days in his life. Romanticisms' plot
centers on the unusual events or high adventures. "...he summoned to his presence a thousand hale
and light hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retires to
the deep solutions of one of his castellated abbeys.... That the Prince Prospero entertained his

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
disdainful comment that the grapes are probably sour (35). The repeated demonstration of fox's
failures and his self–rationalization of why is he walking away–not ... Show more content on

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

the Elizabethan era those of high social classes hosted these extravagant parties that consisted of
décor, 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

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

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

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 and
actions, lying to herself and others proves to take a bad toll on her

Mark's Basilica, pretending not to know the near–identically dressed Italians walking towards him.
Lorenzo glanced at the three men and then back at the church, before a small raspy voice broke the

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.

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.

could symbolize a continuation of their denial. 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

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;

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

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

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

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 manipulated
love is not real love. This is the theme because Claudio and Hero fall in love through the
manipulations of Don Pedro and others, and Benedick and Beatrice do as well, but because of this,

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 masked dramas, they enacted their
