the locale may change rapidly, it may not be indicated by the script that
it has changed, and was most likely suggested by a few props. Abstract
settings place more emphasis on the language and the performer, which
causes the spectator to use their imagination. It also places more
emphasis on costuming. This type of setting helped set up the style of
representational theater, which places high emphasis on the realistic. The
style used in classical Greece was .....

hard to break with it. We are going to help you tear yourself free-”
The point when Reverend Hale begins to change is in Act III during
the trial of John Proctor. “I am a minister of the lord, and I dare not
take a life without there be a proof so immaculate no slightest qualm of
conscience may doubt it.” He starts to doubt if the very thing that he
searches to rid the people of might be a lie.

technology of the machine instead of Willy, who i s fighting for his job.

This, to Willy, was like, "eating the orange and throwing away the peel".

Death Of A Salesman: Society's Alienation Of Willy Loman
.... simply because he
thought Willy, "needed some rest." Actually, Howard never intended to give
Willy his job back. He was merely trying to take Willy's position because
he didn't believe Willy could hack it anymore. This is a reflection of
society's present day treatment of the elderly. Younger generations now,
move older people into rest homes and try to keep them out of public view,
for risk of embarassment. This is reflected by Howard's statement, "I
don't want you to represent us anymore." Society' .....

The Setting In "A Doll's House"
.... One work in literature that I believe the setting plays a part in is, A
Doll's House. This is a play written by Henrik Ibsen. It tells a story of

time women were discriminated. against. This simple fact affects the whole
play's outcome. A young woman by the name of Nora is under the control of
her husband. He feels that he must rule her for he is the head of the
family. .....

evil acts one has commit in the past, and (4) that the cycle of corruption
can only be broken with the lack of desire. These points where made quite
clear during the book, especially at the end with the loss J .....

completely devastated Allan and he found no reason to continue living.
Although Blanche had no intentions of hurting Allan, enough damage was done
to prompt Allan to shoot himself, his mind and body destroyed.

movies, the monster was very nimble and could do anything an actual living
human could. The monster chased after Victor in the wastelands to ex .....
