  • Picasso At The Lapin Agile

    754 Words  | 2 Pages

    From the time you enter the Falk Theatre, until the curtain rises and falls on the production of Picasso at the Lapin Agile, you are in for a treat. The play is an original work by Steve Martin with a running time of 90minutes, which feels more like 30minutes. Aside from the uncomfortable seating, this production is nothing short of wonderful. The Theatre has been transformed from a long movie Theater atmosphere to a quaint surrounding by means of risers that are placed directly on the stage. The new seating divides the old Theater in half and allows for the actors and the audience to share the same space. Not only this atmosphere that makes it wonderful but also the performances, the direction, the design and the script.

    In “The Old Acrobat,” the flanuer is lured by the naturalistic and crude appearances of the street performers caused by society’s need for abstract stimulation.

Even the acrobat is described as being “illuminated all too well by two burned-down candles”3 which are “dripping and smoking.”4 There is a sense of...

  • Theme Of Margaret In Much Ado About Nothing

    826 Words  | 2 Pages

    Shakespeare’s Much Ado about Nothing is, on the surface, a typical romantic comedy with a love-plot that ends in reconciliation and marriage. This surface level conformity to the conventions of the genre, however, conceals a deeper difference that sets Much Ado apart. Unlike Shakespeare’s other romantic comedies, Much Ado about Nothing does not mask class divisions by incorporating them into an idealized community. Instead of concealing or obscuring the problem of social status, the play brings it up explicitly through a minor but important character, Margaret, Hero’s “waiting gentlewoman.” Shakespeare suggests that Margaret is an embodiment of the realistic nature of social class. Despite her ambition, she is unable to move up in hierarchy due to her identity as a maid. Her status, foiling Hero’s rich, protected upbringing, reveals that characters in the play, as well as global citizens, are ultimately oppressed by social relations and social norms despite any ambition to get out.

  • The Value Of Physical Beauty In William Shakespeare's 'The Rape Of The Lock'

    1385 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this mock-epic Pope is able to both satirize and humanize the flaws of the bourgeois society by cunningly observing and commenting on their rampant narcissism and obsession with public image. Pope’s derisive commentary that questions society’s trivial priorities seconds the nullification of beauty’s role seen in The Tempest. All throughout the poem, Pope illustrates the utter obsession with self-fashioning through the main character Belinda, a girl of extraordinary beauty but little substance. Beauty’s value in the text is laid out in several ways, one of them being the hyperbolized treatment of beautifying rituals. For instnace, in Belinda’s dressing table scene in Canto I silver vases are described as being “laid in mystic order” (Pope I,123) and the Nymphs seem to be praying to the “cosmetic pow’rs” (Pope I, 124). This use of grandiose, quasi-religious language to describe a young girl applying makeup sets up the value of beauty in this society and mocks it simultaneously by over-emphasizing and thus, exposing its ridiculousness. Furthermore, both the Nymphs and Belinda seem to be treating this morning ritual as “sacred Rites of Pride” (Pope I, 128) which not only further emphasizes the importance of these pampering activities, but also illustrates that in this particular society a woman’s sole source of pride seems to come from her outer beauty. Moreover, another example of the incredibly important role that physical appearance has in this society is the high regard for hair, often described as “sacred Hair” (Pope III, 153)— both the diction around “hair” and the capitalization of the word itself conveys its distorted importance for Belinda and those around her. Once Pope, clearly sets this society’s values he powerfully subverts it and reveals how truly shallow, vapid and lacking of intellect these characters are. In Canto
