Tartuffe Play Analysis
Through the discussion the class had on Tartuffe, my understanding of culture of the play was deepened. The discussion helped me to understand that around the world many different things are practiced. For instance, in Tartuffe, there was an example of an arranged marriage that was supposed to happened. Where I am from, you are free to choose whoever you want to marry. As my classmates and I were speaking, I realized that not everyone sees it the same way. Quoting the example my fellow classmate Rameesa made, “most of my cousin’s marriages are arranged marriages.”
Also, the discussion made me realize the time frame the play was written in. What I mean by the time frame the play was written is how the play compares to how time is now in America.

    Middletown: Play Review

    • 905 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The play was very unique and different from any other play I have ever seen. It was very melodramatic and the characters discussed issues most characters in other plays would never touch. They spoke very truthfully to each other about issues such as anxiety, loneliness and other things that most people keep to themselves. They often mentioned all the mundane tasks they would do throughout the years to keep themselves occupied. They explained the daily miracles that everyone in the world takes for granted. At one point in the storyline, an astronaut who lived in Middletown, told a story about the town drunk and how he found what he thought was a meteor but, it was just a common sedimentary rock. He then explained how the man was very disappointed that it was not a meteor, yet that he should have been grateful for the wonders of such a perfect world able to create something. Not only was the plot of the play very unique and creative, the way the play was set up was interesting and new to me. Every play or musical I have ever been to, you sit in an auditorium and just watch the events unfold. This play had you apart of the plot and stage, the actors would interact with the audience and and speak directly to us. They kept the actors in the set very close to the audience, almost as if they were trying to make us even more uncomfortable with the closeness of the actors in the story. The…

    “Shakespeare in the Bush” is an interesting article. When I saw the title and the first paragraph, I thought that the article is going to tell something that people do not commonly know about Shakespeare and his creations. But when I read to the middle of the article, I realized that it is something about the impact of culture on interpreting a story. At the beginning, the author argues that there should be a general understanding of typical tragedies despite of one’s cultural background. And was hoping to prove this by the West Africa’s Tiv’s interpretation of Hamlet – which he thought should be similar to his – when he tells it to them. However, those tribe people interpreted Hamlet in a totally different way because of their own culture, values, and belief. And it proved the author’s friend’s point that Americans have difficulty with Shakespeare, just like the Tiv.…

    The transformation between Othello, a 16th century Shakespearean tragedy and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, a 1960’s Romantic Comedy, can be compared by addressing themes that are present in each text. The theme of race can be used to compare the different attitudes of each context, surrounding the significant black characters of Othello in Othello and John in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, and there interaction with white females that belong to an upper middle class. The theme of interracial marriages can be used to compare the different values and attitudes of each context, towards a black & white marriage. This applies to both Othello & Desdemona and John & Joanna. By exploring the different contexts, ideas and techniques incorporated into each text, we can apprehend the different messages that each composer has attempted to convey to their audience.…
