    Comedy and tragedy would not seem to mix well, as they have opposite conclusions of happiness or sadness. To have comic and tragic plots within one play, then, can be argued as being too distinct to be coherent. In The Insatiate Countess, however, it is the differences between the tragic plot of the countess, Isabella, and the comic plot of Abigail and Thais, that strengthen the play’s message supporting loyalty in friendship.

    Brian May and Roger Taylor, in 1970, set the wheels in motion for Queen when they decided to form a band during their college years. Queen started out as a band called Smile who signed with Mercury Records, and included: Tim Staffell, Brian May, and Roger Taylor. Once Tim Staffell left, the group added Freddie Mercury (lead singer) and bassist John Deacon. Freddie Mercury, Farrokh Bulsara, was a fan of Smile and was added on as the lead vocalist. John Deacon began as a young guitarist who was a member of the group called The Opposition. This band was composed of a group of friends, and they were influenced by groups such as The Hollies and Herman’s Hermits. Eventually, Deacon was added to the group that already included Mercury, Taylor, and May. Over time, the group changed their name to Queen. The name Queen was selected by Mercury, and this name is symbolic of power and regality. The addition of Mercury proved to be an essential aspect to the history of Queen’s success. In Queen: The Early Years, Hodkinson writes, “much of what made Freddie also defined Queen: without him they were merely a model rock band with a bent for a commercial tune” (2). The group became well known for their theatrical performances and costumes that were often over the top. “From their international breakthrough in 1976, Queen continually remained one of the best-selling rock acts worldwide beyond Mercury's death in 1991. Their total record sales are estimated at up to 300 million records” (Desler 391). This group was important to the evolution of music and music performance in bands that were to follow them.

The people in this world are divided by blood colours. Humans with silver blood have magical abilities. Therefore, the slivers are the higher class in the society.

  • The Red Convertible By Louise Erdrich

    1350 Words  | 3 Pages

    Family is one of the most important factors that shape the personality and character of its members. From a very young age children look up to the older members of their family; the older members act as their first teachers, their moral compasses, their role models. But what happens to the younger members of a family when these role models experience something traumatic, when they change. This is the question that is asked in Louise Erdrich’s The Red Convertible and Diane Thiel’s The Minefield. This story and poem show how families can both be strengthened and torn apart as a family member goes through a devastating time, and how the members of the family that look up to them can be brought closer to them, or how they can be parted even further.

    It is said that when a man returns from war he is forever changed. In the short story, “The Red Convertible,” Louise Erdrich demonstrates these transformations through the use of symbolism. Erdrich employs the convertible to characterize the emotional afflictions that war creates for the soldier and his family around him by discussing the pre-deployment relationship between two brothers Henry and Lyman, Lyman's perception of Henry upon Henry's return, and Henry’s assumed view on life in the end of the story.

  • Farewell My Queen Analysis

    653 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Farewell, My Queen (2012), director Benoît Jacquot employs variations in camera shots and lighting techniques to convey the difference in social class and change in mood throughout the film. A recurring pattern that distinguishes the royal class from the common folk is the movement of the camera. In the beginning of the film, there are fast transitions and the frames move quickly from one character to the other. Fast horizontal pan shots trail Sidonie as she moves across the room and the camera seems to lack stability in its movements. Suddenly thereafter, the shots become much steadier and camera movements more stable as the vertical and horizontal pan shots present a panoramic view of the palace. Instead of moving with the characters, the camera stays at the same location as the marching band parades into the palace. In contrast to this, the scene that follows immediately thereafter has a hand-held news camera immediacy as Sidonie sprints past the trees on her way to the palace. Another noticeable instance that differentiates the royalty from the common folk can be seen in the maids’ interactions with and around the queen. The maids can be heard talking when they are not in the frame and focus is on the queen. These voices don’t seem to matter to the queen and go unheeded, showing that only the characters that the queen can see (i.e are in the frame) matter and others have no significance.

    The people the book is mainly about are Nate O’Riley, Rachel Lane, Troy Phelan, and his six legitimate children. Nate O’Riley is the protagonist in this book; he’s an alcoholic who’s crashed many times and has had 2 wives both of which he’s divorced from who is sent by Josh Stafford, Troy’s former lawyer, into the Pantanal to find Rachel Lane. He falls in love with her after finding her, and he also fights against the heirs(except Rachel) of Troy towards the end of the book. He’s also the executor of Rachel Lane’s will after she dies. I think Nate is interesting because he’s an alcoholic who’s also the protagonist of the book; I also think he’s interesting because of the way he talks/acts in some parts of the book(his character). The antagonists in this book are the Phelan heirs excluding Rachel. The heirs don’t cause a change ...
