Going Beyond the Pale with William Trevor In William Trevor’s short story ‘Beyond the Pale’, the reader is presented with a text that seethes with the angst of a writer whose country’s Colonial past has been gnawing on his bones. Although there is nothing unusual in this (especially in Irish writing), Trevor manages to fumble the ball in the course of his didactic strategy and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory: what should have been a successful indictment of British Colonial Rule in Ireland
Naguib Mahfouz is the author of the book Midaq Alley that was translated from Arabic by Trevor Le Gassick. First published in 1966, Midaq Alley displays a historical period of Egypt in the most intimate sense as it is presented through the lives of the characters that inhabit the alley. Although the book is set in the early forties it possesses a taste of eternity as the reader watches the characters struggle through questions of morality, ethics, and traditions. (The answer of which shape their
in this film are Millie Dillmount, Miss Dorothy Brown, Trevor Graydon, Jimmy Smith, and Muzzy. Millie Dillmount is a totally modern woman. She’s come to the cite from the country in search of a husband. She strives to become a successful business woman and to marry well and be rich. She has every intention of marrying her boss.

than his father or mother. “’Well anyhow,” he said stoutly, “I’m a lucky person”” (par.14). In “The Destructors” we are introduced to Trevor. Trevor is introduced as a poor boy like Paul, who lives in London nine years after world- war 2. He is described as short and direct with his words, usually not saying much to get his point across. When he said his name “Trevor” “it was a statement of fact, not as it would have been with th... ... middle of paper ... ...side world changed when he proved that
cost to the hundreds of thousands of Africans who became unwillingly caught up in the trade triangle between England, Africa and the Caribbean. In their essay "The Dynamics of the Slave Market and Slave Purchasing Patterns in Jamaica, 1655-1788," Trevor Burnard and Kenneth Morgan say: "Jamaica had the largest demand for slaves of any British colony in the Americas" (2). By the end of the eighteenth century there were more than 300, 000 slaves in Jamaica; and the fact that the slaves outnumbered the

cinematic context – to decide how to interpret the play and which elements are privileged and which are suppressed. This variance in interpretation is exemplified in comparing two of the more recent cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare’s comedies, Trevor Nunn’s Twelfth Night and Kenneth Branagh’s A Much Ado About Nothing [‘Much Ado’]. Although both films can to an extent be seen as comedies with serious, almost tragic aspects inherent throughout, Nunn’s film deals with these serious facets as central
Ballycastle, on the Antrim Coast (see a map of the area, below). I spent four amazing days in Northern Ireland last summer, talking with some of the key players in the ecumenical movement while planning for my Field Education program. I spoke with Trevor Anderson, the Director of Corrymeela at their office in Belfast, I spoke with Johnson McMaster, the Director of the Irish School of Ecumenics who offered to be my mentor next summer. I also spoke with David Stevens, the Secretary for the Irish Council

As the owner and C.E.O. of Revolutionary Entertainment Trevor balances the roles of being the owner and C.E.O. along with the daily tasks required to producing a successful event by remaining focused and remembering to have
I just finished the excellent book Trevor Noah’s born a crime. Trevor was born in South Africa under Apartheid to a Black Xhosa mother and a Swiss-German father. He recounts “the only time I could be with my father was indoors” or if he was with his mother and the police came she would pretend not to know who he was since being mixed under apartheid was illegal. The book details snapshots of his life in the township of Soweto, where his maternal grandmother lived and he gives an unsettling yet honest
Trevor Noah is a world-renowned comedian. He recently hosted the Grammy’s, and he had a popular comedy show called “The Daily Show” which he left in 2022. In 2016, he wrote a memoir titled “Born a Crime” detailing his early childhood and teenage years in South Africa as a mixed child. He was born during apartheid, but Nelson Mendela eradicated it when he was still a young boy. Even though apartheid is no longer prominent, Trevor continues to have issues growing up in South Africa being a mixed race
For instance, Tyler Oakley- an online personality and homosexual himself, is one of the leading advocate in the community. “He has raised $525,704 for The Trevor Project”(The Trevor Project). The Trevor Project is an organization that helps prevent suicide in LGBTQIA youth. Another man by the name of Sigmund Freud opened a research center on sexuality, and argued against most that people are born homosexual, and that it is not
most forward-looking play. It is its ending in particular, an unexpectedly grim conclusion in which nothing is actually concluded, that has appealed to modern sensibilities and made Love's Labour's Lost the Shakespeare play for the twentieth century. Trevor Nunn makes this point emphatically in a recent National Theatre production that presents Love's Labour's Lost as a tale of society's passage out of the nineteenth century in the devastation of World War I. Though neither this idea nor any other aspect
The Character of Emilia in Othello Emilia is one of the few straightforward people in the Shakespeare's Othello. Emilia is taciturn. When we first meet her in Cyprus, after his throwaway condescending remark about suffering her tongue, and Desdemona's rejoinder that "she has no speech", Iago has to admit that "she puts her tongue a little in her heart and chides with thinking". In the scene of light hearted banter that follows Emilia manages to utter two words. She really only finds her voice
Trevor Pearlman is a prominent Dallas attorney-turned-investor who is founding co-partner of Tregan Partners, a private equity firm, and of the Edge Group LLC, a Las Vegas-based real estate development and investment company. Trevor L. Pearlman (early 50’s) was born in South Africa and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1980, when he was eighteen. He attended University of Texas-Austin, where he was elected student-body Vice-President. During his senior year, Trevor successfully
Trevor is currently a Navy Seal for the United States military. It’s far from easy to become a Navy Seal and involves hours of vigorous advanced training, most guys don’t make it through the first week. To even consider being a Navy Seal is an act of bravery. Everytime Trevor goes overseas, he is risking his life for us. He is constantly being forced to undergo burdensome tasks to keep
Olivia’s cousin Sir Toby. Maria is typically interpreted as being “feisty, witty, and outgoing” (Marshall 217), but some would argue that this is not her personality in Trevor Nunn’s rendition of Twelfth Night. Here I will discuss the differences between Twelfth Night as a play by Tim Carroll verses Twelfth Night as a movie by Trevor Nunn; between these two renditions, Maria is more true to character in Carroll’s rendition than Nunn’s because
high school years Tutu contracted tuberculosis and nearly died while spending close to two full years in bed. (Whelan) While he was bed ridden he had a special visitor come and visit him once a week every week. This special visitor was British-born Trevor Huddleston. He used to bring Desmond books and educational materials that way he wouldn't get too far behind in school. (Whelan) He also talked to him about God and that truly what inspired Desmond into becoming a priest. (Whelan) After Desmond was
How Living as a Christian Disciple May Influence the Lives of Christians Today Christianity is an entire way of life. It's not only a part of your life it is your whole life. It is a sense of being with God. It is not a one way system, but in fact a two way bond. Being a disciple of God gives you a sense of who you are. You have the position of being part of God's children as well as being a child of your parents. This is an incomparable feeling. A Christian is a person who lives their life
Trevor Nunn’s (1996) adaptation of Twelfth Night illustrates the complexity of Feste’s character and how important he is to the overall play. Ben Kingsley, the actor, presents Feste as sympathetic and gentle choric figure. It is Feste who allows the audience to see the films respect for the original play, and the existing issues within it. This includes the defencelessness of women, and the attractive, but dangerous, qualities of altering one’s true sexual identity. Interestingly, unlike the original
