    Another trend in the twelfth century was the arrangement of marriages to increase power, gain alliances, or to mend bad blood between people. This can be seen when the girl, after being in the tower for so long, says “A curse on my family, and on all the others, who gave me to this jealous man, who married me to his body” (72). It was not the girl’s choice to be married to this man because of love but due to her beauty, wisdom, and good family she was married to this rich man.

  • Lion King vs Hamlet

    The leading roles in each of the stories had a corresponding role in the other. The corresponding characters shared a number of similarities, but it was the ways in which they were different that determined their fate and that of the kingdom. In Hamlet, the prince is Hamlet. He is in deep grieving of his father’s death. He is angry because he believes that everyone has already forgotten how great of a king his father was. Hamlet does not know for sure who is responsible for his father’s death, but he suspects Claudius who is his uncle and the new king. Hamlet decides that if he can convince everyone that he is insane, then maybe he will be able to get someone to tell him more about his father’s murder. In The Lion King, Simba is the prince. Simba’s father, Mufasa, is killed after he falls from a cliff into a herd of hyenas. Simba falls into a deep depression after his uncle Scar twists things around and convinces Simba that he is the one responsible for the Mufasa’s death. Simba can not deal with what has happened and he runs away from the kingdom.

  • Simba and The Secret

    1452 Words  | 3 Pages

    "What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience" This quote from The Secret expresses young king Simba’s struggle throughout The Lion King perfectly, from the moment his life got inverted, to the day his destiny was finally realized. During the “Hakuna Matata” sequence, Simba’s transformation into manhood from childhood innocence is witnessed, but this was only a physical alteration. It becomes apparent later on in the film that he was still a naïve child, virtually unchanged mentally from the beginning of the movie, just in a more mature body. In fact, it wasn’t until later, as an old flame is rekindled and he goes on a spiritual journey, that Simba finally emerges as the king he was destined from birth to be. As I stated earlier, The Secret plays into the story very well, and really helps with understanding the importance of one’s outlook on life. This is displayed through not only Simba’s struggle, but also the song, “Hakuna Matata,” and several facets of the plot itself, which I hope to illustrate in the next few pages.

    A musical is a form of living art that should successfully combine a dramatic plot with a correlating music component. Typically, a live performance can be an exciting but difficult production to execute because there are no time-outs or redoes. Nevertheless, two particular live musicals have topped charts in the Broadway theaters. Known as the fourth longest-running show in Broadway history, Cats is a live musical, composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, that tells the story about a tribe of cats who journey through the night. During their journey, the cats, also known as the Jellicles, are aiming to decide who will ascend to a new place and come back to life.

  • Compare And Contrast The Great Gatsby And Romeo And Juliet

    Essay 4: Comparative Analysis of Two Texts When comparing two texts, one must look at the characters and themes to find similarities and differences and we see a similarity with the theme of accepting reality in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby. There are differences in both texts with the way the characters fight reality, but the outcome is the same. The power of love in both texts is looked at as more important than social priorities and the main characters will do anything to get what they want and it results in death. One might come to conclusions to say that F. Scott Fitzgerald based the relationship of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan on Romeo and Juliet, seeing that both stories have characters who do not accept the reality and in their minds, love overpowers everything. When looking at these two texts side to side, one would notice many similarities in the actions of the main characters.

    “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” is written in an entertaining and adventurous spirit, but serves a higher purpose by illustrating the century’s view of courtly love. Hundreds, if not thousands, of other pieces of literature written in the same century prevail to commemorate the coupling of breathtaking princesses with lionhearted knights after going through unimaginable adventures, but only a slight few examine the viability of such courtly love and the related dilemmas that always succeed. “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” shows that women desire most their husband’s love, Overall, “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” shows that the meaning of true love does not stay consistent, whether between singular or separate communities and remains timeless as the depictions of love from this 14th century tale still hold true today.

  • The Doctor’s Wife and So Long a Letter

    This competition helps in developing the plots of the two novels. For example, throughout the letter that Ramatoulaye writes to Aissatou, the plot of “So Long a Letter” revolves around the second marriages of Modou Fall and Mawdo Bâ. This creates a sense of competition between Ramatoulaye and Aissatou, their first wives respectively. The competition between Ramatoulaye and Binetou to acquire the attention of their husband, Modou Fall and between Aissatou and la Petite Nabou for Mawdo Bâ is what keeps the readers’ interest in the novel. This competition becomes all the more evident when Ramatoulaye describes the formalities involved in carrying out the death ceremony for her husband, Modou Fall. When all the formalities have ended, Binetou, Ramatoulaye’s ‘co-Wife’, finally leaves. This gives Ramatoulaye a sense of relief. This occurs when she says,
