Macbeth And Fear

for displeasing the king, Daedalus and his son Icarus were both confined in this
labyrinth, which was so complex that even its creator could not find his way out.
Instead, Daedalus fashioned wings of wax and feathers so that he and his son
could escape. When Icarus flew too high -- too near the sun -- in spite of his
father's warnings, his wings melted, and he fell into the sea and drowned. His
more cautious father flew to safety (World Book 3). By using this myth in A
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Portrait of the Artist), Joyce succeeds
in giving definitive treatment to an archetype that was well established long ....

The Double Life In The Importa
1338 Words - 5 Pages.... They have the freedom to create themselves and use their double identities to give themselves the opportunity to show opposite sides of their characters. They mock every custom of the society and challenge its values. This creates not only the comic effect of the play but also makes the audience think of the serious things of life.
Oscar Wilde begins with a joke in the title that is not only a piece of frivolity. It concerns the problem of recognising and defining human identity. The use of earnest and Earnest is a pun, which makes the title not only more comic, but also leads to a paradox. The farce in The Importance of Being Earnest consists in the trifle that it is impor ....

“A Doll’s House” And “Ghosts": Style And Social Criticism
992 Words - 4 Pages.... There are few actually actions in both plays, most of the play is done through the characters’ words.
Ibsen’s social criticism is shown throughout both plays. It is clear that he looks down on Victorian society and that he has painted it as the villain, not Tovrald or Mr. Engstrand as is might appear. He shows that society is superficial by the words of the characters in both plays. Nora and Tovrald appear to only care about material things and appearances. Mr. Manders is exactly the same way. He only cares about what people think of him, not real issues. Ibsen also shows that people are narrow-minded. Nora even points this out to Tovrald when he is condemning ....
