2. Ask one of the characters in a scene a question and answer it as if you were that character
Question to Oliva: How do you feel about the way Cesario is treating you today?
Answer: I am astounded that Cesario has agreed to join me at my house today. I have been wracking my brain to find a way to get him to spend some time with me. Yet, he agreed to come so willingly today. God must have heard my prayers. Maybe Cesario is thankful that I rescued him from that rude Toby and his foolish friend. Or perhaps, Cesario is finally returning my love! Oh who knows, I am just so grateful that he is willing to spend time with me. What food shall I serve him? Should I have prepared him a present? Oh, I should have worn a prettier dress. Well, it’s alright, at least he is here with me.

Malvolio’s annoying and egoistic personality has brought hatreds upon himself, causing Maria the urge to trick him. The prank to get him to make a fool of himself in front of everyone is one thing, but to keep him imprisoned in the dark room seems too severe. Even though Malvolio deserves some sort of punishment for the poor way he treats others, he does not deserve to be locked in a dark room. By convincing Malvolio that he is insane and keeping him in a dark room, they are actually damaging his mental health. Toby, Fabian, and Maria may consider this as a joke, but their actions seem quite abusive towards Malvolio. Furthermore, they are also ruining Malvolio’s reputation with this prank, as others may actually believe that Malvolio is insane. For these reasons, I think the prank on Malvolio has gone too

  • Why I Live At The Po Analysis

    It is constantly seen that people take revenge on each other in the real world so it comes to no surprise that Montresor is taking revenge on Fortunato. Specifically in this story Montresor will feel better if he “not only punish but punish with impunity” (108 Poe). But further on what I found to even more realistic was that this wasn’t normal revenge, this was pure mastermind torture. Montresor knew that Fortunato was sick with Montresor saying “…but the severe cold with which I perceive you are afflicted”(109 Poe) regarding that he didn’t want Fortunato to come down to his vaults, but Montresor true intentions were wanting Fortunato to fight Montresor request of not coming, and it worked. Montresor also knew how well Fortunato was at differencing wine “I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado price without consulting you in the matter” (109 Poe). By Montresor exploiting Fortunato’s sickness and skill of wines, Montresor knew that he could get Fortunato in the vaults where he could execute his revenge. At a first glance this may not seem lifelike because there’s an assumption to be made that people aren’t this immoral. But the truth is that the revenge that Montresor conducted is seen constantly in our culture. It’s undeniably real of the monstrosity that was made by Montresor when comparing it to the wicked

  • Montresor's Insanity In The Cask Of Amontillado

    497 Words  | 1 Pages

    In "The Cask of Amontillado," unreliable narrator Montresor describes his revenge on Fortunato during a carnival in Venice fifty years ago. Montresor doesn't like Fortunato on account of the thousands of injuries he has caused, injuries that he bears magnanimously (yes, that's sarcasm), but when Fortunato resorts to insult, Montresor vows revenge, a revenge which excludes punishment and a revenge which makes Fortunato completely aware of who's getting the revenge. Montresor is easily offended, jealous of Fortunato, and a little strange. His propensity for being offended stems from his insecurity, an insecurity that could lead him to invent a story about masterminding the perfect murder/revenge. His jealousy of Fortunato leads him to slant everything in the story to make Fortunato look stupid--his motley dress, his

  • Rhetorical Devices In Shawshank Redemption

    For example, in the few minutes of the previous scene before Andy begins to escape we have a narration from Red telling the audience that he believes that Andy is going to kill himself from his recent behaviour when he left solitary after two months of being with his own thoughts. Red says “I’ve had some long nights… alone in the dark with nothing but your thoughts, time can draw out like a blade. That was the longest night of my life.” because of these specific wording of Red’s narration we as the audience automatically expect the worst. This narration and the character of Red is one of the most significant and influential elements of the film to manipulate the audiences emotions towards the one particular scene. The scene following Red’s narration is of the aftermath of Andy Dufresne’s disappearance from the Shawshank prison, we see the Warden unbox what he expects to be his black dress shoes, that he made Andy polish the previous night, yet opens the box to find a set of brown prisoner shoes. The audience then begin to see a flashback of what happened the previous night, and we see Andy switching the corrupt account books as well as dress himself in the Warden’s dry cleaned suit. This scene that follows Red’s night in his cell worrying about Andy is one of the best for

    In addition, the movie accurately depicts the family dynamic and the difficulties faced by the characters. Lee’s casting meticulously displays the emotions and internal conflict that each character possesses through their body language and facial expressions. For example the scene where Jack is dancing with Lureen, he smiles in front of her when she is looking at him and pretends to enjoy his time, but the moment she turns her back he displayed his true emotions of sadness and emptiness due to his pretention of being something that he is not. Moreover, the progression of Alma’s internal strife after seeing Ennis’ passionate kiss with Jack is presented through her faces expressions and tone. For instance, the moment that she sees the kiss, her eyes show true astonishment, and then followed by sadness and realization; this was displayed without any need for words.

  • Reflection Paper About Emotions

    Have you ever wondered why people have certain reactions? I chose chapter eight on emotions for my reflection paper because emotions are something that everyone has and feels, yet cannot always explain or react to in the way you would expect. Personally, I have never been great at responding to emotions in a way that I would not regret in the future. Thus, naturally being drawn to this chapter as a way to expand my knowledge on how to react to things more positively. I also wanted to learn why I feel a certain way after events that would not affect most people and be reassured about my feelings. Opposite to that, it is nice to see that, while not always productive, others have the same reaction habits. Overall, emotions are a complicated
