Measure For Measure - Critique
Number of words: 447 - Number of pages: 2.... humour (e.g. the some-times hilarious exchange between Lucio, a servant
to the Duke, and the Duke disguised as a friar. This moment of ironic
comedy is certainly one of the play's highlights, and is a model for many
modern humour pieces) which all serve to create a less than enthralling
afternoon of "not so high" drama. I will not attempt to explain the plot,
as one of the play's redeeming factors is the suspense created by the soap

exceptional writer, performed no more than competantly by gifted actors, on
a boring, unin .....

Shakespeare In Love: A Great Movie
Number of words: 1245 - Number of pages: 5.... of the Globe Theatre expresses the difference
in times, but the importance of entertainment. The film demonstrates the
way plays were acted out solely by men. This illustrated the lack of
belief that a woman could put on an act as well as a man. However, in
this movie, the part of Juliet winds up being acted out by a woman much to
the surprise of the audience. In response to this the people are appalled
and feel that she should be punished for taking on the role that only a “
man” should do. The queen’s reaction is one of empathy in the fact that
in her role as ruler this .....

Hamlet: Emotions Of Despair, Sadness, Anger, And Inner Peace
Number of words: 1067 - Number of pages: 4.... understood when one looks at the horrible conflicts Hamlet goes through.
Sorrow, perhaps the most evident emotion, is very well developed
throughout the play. Initially, the only cause of Hamlet's sorrow is his
father's death. However, after reading Act 1, scene 2, we see in Hamlet's
asides that another source of his melancholy is his mother's hasty marriage
to Claudius, the new king of Denmark. Further, when Queen Gertrude asks her
son why his father's death "seems" so important, he replies, "Seems, madam?
Nay it is. I know not 'seems'." In addition, Shakespeare reveals another
source of .....

Television Censorship
Number of words: 1589 - Number of pages: 6.... Irish author James Joyce's
Ulysses was not obscene and could be freely passed through customs. The courts
ruled that the use of "dirty words" in "a sincere and honest book" did not make

portray sexual conduct in a patently offensive way; and which, taken as a whole,
do not have seriou .....

Hamlet: A Review
Number of words: 403 - Number of pages: 2.... was outright sacrilege.
Though Hamlet is fully aware that it is his task to clear things up,
he keeps on procrasti nating and has got many excuses for not acting.
The explanations are valid, and the only peculiar fact is that
Hamlet has got so many reasons for waiting - a different one each time.
Furthermore, it is characteristic in Hamlet that he only receives problems
when he at last seizes the sword. He is convinced that he has nailed his
villainous uncle Claudius, when he kills a person who is spying on him
while he is talking seriously to his mother. However, the "rat" be .....
