...Disguise is the main precursor to all of the Dramatic Comedy observed in Twelfth Night. How far do you agree with this? In twelfth night written by Shakespeare there are many elements of comedy. In the play disguise is seen as a crucial element of comedy used by different characters with different purposes. Disguise in the play causes confusion, complications, and Mix-ups. It could be argued that disguise may not be the main reason for all the dramatic comedy. Shakespeare uses a wide range of different styles of comedy which include comic duos, physical Appearances, use of language etc. These also have a big comedic role in twelfth night. In my essay I will be discussing whether disguise is the main precursor or whether there are other elements which are comedic? Firstly Disguise is seen as changing your physical appearance for many reasons. Characters in Twelfth Night have used disguise for their own use such as Viola and Feste. Viola at the beginning of the play is seen to be shipwrecked and is separated from her twin brother Sebastian. In the early 1600 where the play has been set women were not seen as important and they were underestimated because they were seen weaker than men. Viola believes that if she disguises up as a man and asks the man that governs the country Illyria which they have shipwrecked in if she could have a job. The man who owns Illyria is Duke Orsino. “Conceal me what i am and be my aid for such disguise as haply shall i become”. Disguise has been used...

...‘The Reichstag fire was more important than the Night of the Long Knives for Hitler’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. (10) Both the Reichstag Fire and the Knight of the Long Knives were of great importance to Hitler in hi journey towards his consolidation of power. Whereas one can be seen as the straw on the camels back to Hitler's consolidation, the other can be seen as the framework towards the final triumph. The Reichstag Fire was an important turning point in Hitler’s consolidation of power. This incident brought the Nazis many advantages and some disadvantages. When the police managed to enter the building they found a man named Marinus Van Der Lubbe, who was a Dutch communist. The fact that he was a communist enabled Hitler to use this against the communists and have 4,000 communist leaders imprisoned days before the elections. During this period of terror for Germany the police could do anything, more specifically the Nazi police. Hitler made the most out of this situation; he used the police to intimidate voters and to disrupt communist party meetings. The fact that a communist was found burning the Reichstag building made all of this possible for Hitler, although it has been argued that the Nazis might have started the fire and that Van Der Lubbe was framed for the crime. Shortly afterwards Van Der Lubbe was tried and executed. In addition, it allowed Hitler to persuade Hindenburg to pass the “Enabling Act”, which suspended all...

The setting is one that viewers can relate to and van Gogh´s swirling sky directs the viewer´s eye around the painting, with spacing between the stars and the curving contours creating a dot-to-dot effect. These internal elements ensure fluidity and such contours were important for the artist even though they were becoming less significant for other Impressionists. Thus Starry Night´s composition was distinct from the Impressionist technique of the 19thcentury. The artist was aware that his Starry Night composition was somewhat surreal and stylized and in a letter to his brother he even referred to "exaggerations in terms of composition. " The vivid style chosen by van Gogh was unusual - he chose lines to portray this night scene when silhouettes would have been a more obvious choice. In Starry Night contoured forms are...

...To many people, night has the connotation of fear. In the night, one’s vision is obscured by the darkness, leaving behind only unease and uncertainty. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, night symbolizes the suffering of Eliezer in the nightmarish Holocaust which he lived through. During the hours of darkness, Eliezer experiences uncertainty in his ever-evolving situation, fear during his sleepless nights, and loss of those that he cares for. During the Holocaust, Jewish people are forced from their homes, forced from camp to camp, and forced to change against their will. Eliezer and his family anticipate their departure from the ghettos into the lethal uncertainty of this war against them. Eliezer’s mother instructs her children to “go to bed early [and] conserve [their] strength… [as] it was to be the last night spent in [their] house” (Wiesel 18). The night is expected to be a time of rest and rejuvenation; however, the nights proceeding a change are stressful and often represent the fleeting moments of security and consistency in their lives. Even when Eliezer spends his last night in Buna, he is fearful. He knows a change is approaching and despite his horrific circumstances, Eliezer knows it...

...This painting is called “Café Terrace at Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. It was created at 1888. This painting has the primary colors of blue, green, and a tiny bit of red. It also has a secondary color of yellow. The painting depicts the analogous colors of blue and yellow. The color temperature in this painting is cool and chill, but at the same time it is warm and cozy. The complementary colors of yellow contrasts with the complementary colors of blue and green. The contrast draws the attention to the focal point which is the café. There are a lot of vertical lines to show the stability of night. There are other buildings in the painting, but the audience’s eyes go toward the café. There are people sitting in the café eating, drinking, and conversing. There are also people in the streets wearing clothes with festive colors. The yellowish white stars in the night sky illuminate the ground. The pavement is reflecting the light of the starry sky and the café. The pavement also has a pattern going on. The light and dark values draw you to the focal point of the Café. I believe this painting has compositional unity, because the elements and principles are organized. The colors of harmonizing blue and the cozy café fits together perfectly. There is nothing out of place in this paining. In my opinion, the tranquil colors of blue of the night sky depict the calmness in the painting. For me, the café is the emphasis in this painting. The painting is mostly in dark and cold colors, but...

The White Night event was 1st conceived in Paris, France in 2002. Paris’ event name is ‘Nuit Blanche’ which translates to “White Night”.

... Uschan Professor Lilly Introduction to Humanities II 14EW2 30 November 2014 Starry Night and The Course of the Empire: Desolation Starry Night was created by Vincent Van Gogh during the Post Impressionism period.

This painting is on display at The New York Historical Society in New York, New York. Fig. 1. Starry Night Fig. 2. The Course of the Empire: Desolation Starry Night is an embodiment of the Post Impressionism period. The rejection of the Impressionists concern with natural lighting and color in favor of an emphasis on abstract qualities or symbols is seen through this piece as Van Gogh uses impasto to create vibrant, glowing stars in the night sky. There is a dynamic energy to this piece seen through the exploding stars in contrast to the quiet, sleeping village. Starry Night was created while Van Gogh was in an Asylum at Saint-Remy, France and was recreated from memory. There is a mixture of imagination and reality throughout the piece. While the night sky is the rendition of a sky Van Gogh saw while living in the South of France, the church...

...Adapted from "The Night Prayers: Qiyam & Tarawih from works by Muhammad Nasir ud- Deen al-Albani (and other scholars)" Compiled by Muhammad al-Jibali Laylat ul-Qadr is the most blessed night. A person who misses it has indeed missed a great amount of good. If a believing person is zealous to obey his Lord and increase the good deeds in his record, he should strive to encounter this night and to pass it in worship and obedience. If this is facilitated for him, all of his previous sins will be forgiven. Praying Qiyaam It is recommended to make a long Qiyaam prayer during the nights on which Laylat ul-Qadr could fall. This is indicated in many hadeeths, such as the following: Abu Tharr (radhiallahu `anhu) relates: "We fasted with Allah's Messenger (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) in Ramadaan. He did not lead us (in qiyaam) at all until there were seven (nights of Ramadaan) left. Then he stood with us (that night - in prayer) until one third of the night had passed. He did not pray with us on the sixth. On the fifth night, he prayed with us until half of the night had passed. So we said, 'Allah's Messenger! Wouldn't you pray with us the whole night?' He replied: 'Whoever stands in prayer with the imaam until he (the imaam) concludes the prayer, it is recorded for him that he prayed the whole night.'…" [Recorded by Ibn Abi Shaybah, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmithi (who authenticated it), an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, at-Tahawi (in Sharhu Ma`an il-Athar, Ibn Nasr, al-Faryabi, and al-Bayhaqi...

...Acquainted with the night Have you ever watched a spooky bone chilling movie and had cold chills run down your spine? What about going into a withered old abandoned house by yourself on a stormy night? These are the types of feelings I had while reading “Acquainted with the night” by Robert Frost. In “Acquainted with the night” by Robert Frost he describes himself as being alone, depressed and he has no meaning. Robert may have related this poem to some of the tragedies he had in his life, whether it was the death of this father at an early age or the death of his children, he defiantly was dark and depressed in this poem. The poem starts off by saying “I have been one acquainted with the night”. He uses the word acquainted which means you have met something. So Frost is saying he has met the night which is a weird thing to say. Frost also states he is one, maybe the night and Frost are together or he is one out of others that are acquainted along with the night with him. In the next line Frost says “I have walked out in rain-and back in rain” Frost is saying he had went somewhere and later returned and both times it was raining. Whether it was a quick walk or it had just been raining for however long he was out for. But at the end of the first stanza he says that “I have out walked the furthest city light.” Which means that this was no ordinary short walk he either walked out past the city limits to where there is no light or to another part of the town where there is just...
