Adultery Leads to Murder in Greek Tragedies
[ send me this essay ]
(6 pp). The question posed for our discussion is how adultery leads to murder in Greek tragedies. Yet it seems that an important component has been left out of the equation: it is attitude on the part of the male, which leads to his murder, as much as does his breaking of his marriage vows through adultery. Consequently we will examine three Greek tragedies, Medea, Women of Trachis and Agamemnon; to decipher the attitudes of the males involved, and see if it influences their wives rage. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Aeschylus' Oresteia & Sartre The Flies
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay that examines the stagecraft employed in these two works. While the art of playwriting has evolved and changed over the course of Western civilization, playwrights whether ancient or modern had to accomplish similar tasks in the storytelling and dramatization. The audience, in both cases, has to be informed about the background to the story, that is, the context in which the play takes place. The audience should also understand the nuances of characterization and the motivation that propels the characters to specific actions. Looking at the stagecraft of the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, in his trilogy Oresteia, and the modern adaptation of this myth in Jean-Paul Sartre's The Flies, it can be seen how each author uses different theatrical devices to accomplish their storytelling goals.

Alan Ayckbourn/The Norman Conquests
[ send me this essay ]
An 11 page essay that examines Alan Ayckbourn’s “The Norman Conquests” is a trilogy of plays: “Table Manners,” “Living Together,” and “Round and Round the Garden.” All three plays involve the same characters and the events of one weekend in July. However, each play tells the story of the weekend from a different location in the house and, therefore, from a different perspective. Examination of these three plays reveals the intricate way in which they are constructed and why this structure substantiates the position that the trilogy should be regarded as a single work. No additional sources cited.

Albee's "The Sandbox" - Analysis
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Edward Albee falls under a literary classification not many others have the privilege of inhabiting, inasmuch as the eclectic playwright harbors a special - if not wholly indefinable - talent for highlighting mankind's absurdity. The extent to which The Sandbox reflects the epitome of Albee's distinctive genre is both grand and far-reaching; that this particular story is steeped with vacuous characters who have nary an original thought in their collective heads whose interaction with one another amounts to little more than a spew of formulated truisms. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
