What is “On My First Son” By Ben Jonson about
Original Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy; My sin was too much hope of thee, lov’d boy. Seven years tho’ wert lent to me, and I thee pay, Exacted by thy fate, on the just day. O, could I lose all father now! For why Will man lament the state he should…

Drama – How does “This Flesh is Mine” relate to Greek Tradegy
I believe that “This Flesh is Mine” relates to Greek tragedy mainly due to its ending and the amount of people who die in the end, Mainly the guard while trying to rape Briseis and Achilles when he is driving away in his car and the car bomb inside kills him. The piece is also…

Drama – Reflection of my performance

Drama – Choice of costumes and Semiotics in our performance
In myself and Dillon’s piece we decided to wear costumes that clashed with each other to represent a semiotic of the old clashing with the new, so in other words the trojan war and Palestine Israeli conflict which are to very similar conflicts are from two different times of history. My costume was a bed…

In the play “This flesh is mine” Agamemnon in my opinion is a very unlucky man. he is fighting for a cause and trying to get vengeance for Menelaus and his wife being taken by Paris of Troy, However he doesn’t seem to be able to get to that point because his quote on quote…
