Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is true to the characters, plot, and language of the original play. However, it is not just a flat, uninspiring copy.

The effectiveness of these elements is especially prevalent in the early part of act 1, scene 1, where Benedict and Beatrice trade barbs after Claudio and Hero have been introduced.

People often juxtapose their world to the world of nature. More and more often modern people, in contrast to those living in ancient times, express an opinion that they are masters on the earth and, therefore, have a right to exercise dominion over animals, plants, and nature on the whole.

Coetzee (1999), is all about that coexistence of the two worlds – the world of nature and the world of people who want ...

1. Compute the elasticities for each independent variable. Note: Write down all of your calculations. The demand estimation as follows: QD = -3,500 - 150P + 30A + 75PX + 10Y. When P=300, A=750, PX=200, and Y=10,000. Placing these numbers into equation: QD=-3,500-150(300)+30(750)+75(200)+10(10,000)=QD=-3,500-45,000+22,500+15,000+100,000=89,000. Under given these numbers, we have 89,000 products demanded. Price elasticity of demand is [d(QD)/d(P)]/[QD/P]. Therefore, we take a derivative of the function subject to price, and we assume other variables do not ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives.

Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives.

Commedia dell’arte is literally translated as a comedy of crafts, meaning the crafts of improvisation. According to David L. Hurst, “The word arte implied the incorporation of the dramatic arts; it brought together those who were authorized to perform for the counts, dukes, etc” (Nikole). The comedy is thus performed by the professionals, meaning, actors who are capable enough to improvise or perform at least self-impromptu. The quality of the play would thus by no means suffer because of its off-hand nature. Developed in Italy during the 16th and 17th centuries and flourishing since them, it may confidently ...

For those accustomed to reading modern dramas, Kalidasa’s Sankuntala and the Ring of Recollection is both familiar and strange.
