Seneca was highly esteemed during the Renaissance but criticized in modern times. His plays contained melodrama that appealed to popular tastes as well as philosophical messages that appealed to the learned. His works were influential models for the new forms of drama in 16th century England, particularly in their structure of five acts and use of the supernatural, horrific themes, rhetorical language, and themes of fate. Eliot and Spearing discuss Seneca's popularity and influence on Elizabethan drama.

Astrophil and stella
The document discusses Sir Philip Sidney's collection of poems "Astrophil and Stella" and how it both adheres to and departs from conventions of Petrarchan love. While some sonnets depict the themes of longing and frustration typical of Petrarchan poems, Astrophil's pursuit of the married Stella brings the morality of his actions into question. The document analyzes specific sonnets and songs that show how Sidney both incorporates typical Petrarchan devices but also subverts expectations by having Astrophil admire Stella's inner and outer beauty rather than using violent language of love. The document concludes Sidney aimed to inspire a more rational approach to love compared to the conventions established by Petrarch.

Theme In Shakespeare
Tragedy is a play that depicts unavoidable consequences of human actions, where mistakes are never forgiven. A tragic hero is the protagonist of high social status who faces severe consequences due to bad decisions or crimes. Theme is the underlying message or life lesson conveyed by the author, usually about human nature or society, that is implied rather than directly stated. In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare conveys the theme that true love is not based on physical appearance or beauty but on deeper emotional connection.

Elizabethan Theatre Pd. 7/8
1) Elizabethan theatre saw the rise of playwrights such as John Lyly, Thomas Kyd, George Peele, Christopher Marlowe, Robert Greene, and William Shakespeare. Actors formed companies sponsored by nobles for protection.
2) Plays evolved from religious shows depicting biblical stories to intricate plots with deeper characterization classified as comedy, history, or tragedy.
3) Performances took place in small, cramped theatres like The Globe that relied on imagination rather than sets due to minimal props and special effects. Costumes helped identify characters in place of sets.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

- 3. Seneca’s plays contained abundance of melodrama, to suit the popular taste, whilst his sententious philosophy and moral maxims appealed to the more learned. “The Senecan drama, crude and melodramatic as it seems to us, appealed far more strongly to the robust Englishmen of the 16th C, whose animal instincts were as yet only half subdued by civilization” (E.M. Spearing – The Elizabethan Translations of Seneca’s Tragedies) Model for the new forms of drama
- 4. • Substance and form (Division into five acts and chorus) • Matter and treatment: influence of the supernatural, selection of horrible and sensational themes, long rhetorical and descriptive passages, moralizing commonplaces and the spirit of philosophic fatalism Seneca’s Influence

- 7. JULIET If I did so, it will be of more price, Being spoke behind your back, than to your face. PARIS Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. JULIET The tears have got small victory by that, For it was bad enough before their spite. Romeo and Juliet, IV, I, 17 - 36 Stychomithia
