Paper Abstract:
Analyzes memory play's plot, structure, characters, themes of love & deception.
Paper Introduction:
M. Butterfly is a memory play in which author David Henry Hwang smoothly switches time and place throughout the play in order to reveal a story that is already known to the narrator and central character, Rene Gallimard. The play is constructed as an "evening" in the theater in which the speaker will take the viewers over his story until his "ideal audience" will come to envy him because he has been loved by "the Perfect Woman" (1936). Hwang (and Gallimard) assume that the audience is already somewhat familiar with the outlines of the story. Yet, just in case anyone is not clear on it, a certain amount of suspense is built in to the play. The opening conversations of the people at a party do not specifically state the case. Their remarks could be understood by anyone who knew the story and would offer hints to those who did not. But the gradual revelation of Song Li's

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes character of Greek heroine, morality, symbol of female strength, effects of her relationships with her father Oedipus, Freudian theory.
Paper Introduction:
The story of Antigone has been told by many poets, playwrights, and others over the centuries. The relationship between Antigone and her father, Oedipus, and the conflict between Antigone and Creon, point to various aspects of the social roles of women in Thebes at the time this play was written. The tragedy of Oedipus echoes through the generations, affecting his children and determining the course of their lives for them, and Antigone can be examined using this Freudian view, much as Willbern does when he writes,
Such a focus will therefore be one-sided, viewed through paternal eyes--the patriarchal perspective. Freud sometimes characterized the daughter's perspective, but he was naturally more familiar with the father's (Willbern 75-76).

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes character of cowardly Garcin in play about hell & authenticity.
Paper Introduction:
This study will analyze the character of Garcin in Jean-Paul Sartre's play No Exit. The play takes place in hell and features Garcin and two women. Garcin is known to us by what he says about himself, what the other two characters---both women---say about and to him, what he says to them, and by his responses to them. We find through these means that Garcin was a coward in life and is now tormented by his cowardice in death and in hell. He cannot change the fact of his cowardice, but he can at least try to convince the two women that he was not a coward, that even though he behaved cowardly, he was a good and courageous man at heart.
Garcin is easily able to get Estelle to agree with this rationalization, but her view is meaningless to him because she is frivolous, if not stupid: "You've a twisted mind, that's your trouble," she tells Garcin. "Plaguing yourself over such

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes Spaniard's 17th Cent. philosophical drama. Illusion vs. reality, history, astrology, free will, symbolism.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
One of the philosophical plays of Calderón de la Barca is Life Is a Dream, a play that mixes several different themes in a complex fashion shaped around the basic plot and interaction of the characters. Calderón expresses these themes in terms of imagery evoked either by the words of the characters or by the staging of the play itself. The essential conflict in the play is political--how can a ruler know that his successor is worthy and what can he do to assure a continuity of rule that will be of benefit to the kingdom? Patterns of imagery in the play contribute to this theme and to the other themes of import in the play--free will versus determinism, issues of deception, and the underlying concept that life is a dream. The basic contrast in the play that serves these different themes is that between

Examines heroine as tragic figure doomed by her romantic delusions about beauty.
Paper Introduction:
"Ibsen's Hedda Gabbler: A Seeker of Beauty"
In his 1890 play, Hedda Gabbler, Henrik Ibsen portrays Gabbler, the central character, as a doomed seeker of beauty. Her life is rooted in unsustainable illusion and deceptions. Presented as a misguided heroine, Gabbler is revealed to be a woman whose deep frustrations and thwarted ambition eventually leads to the play's catastrophic conclusion. By the dramatic ending, Hedda Gabbler and Eilert Lovborg have both died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Ibsen represents these deaths as the consequence of their indiscriminate pursuit of beauty. Gabbler and Lovborg are depicted as individuals unable to accept life's routine pettiness and circumstantial monotony. Instead, they

Paper Abstract:
Describes & compares conflict between society & individual in play & section from novel.
Paper Introduction:
One of the major themes in world literature is the conflict between society and the individual, with society poised to enforce its requirements and its proscriptions on individuals to enforce conformity, while the individual feels constrained and would break out to a life of greater self-expression if he or she could. Different writers have portrayed this conflict in different ways, and those who have offered solutions to this conflict have also offered varying answers. This theme is depicted in Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Grand Inquisitor, and both writers create a clear-cut choice in the situation without "solving" the problem. Ibsen hints that the proper answer for society would be to encourage the individual and that to do otherwise will in the long run be a detriment to society itself, while Dostoyevsky leaves the choice

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes play as realistic social drama from feminist perspective. Plot, characters, themes, symbolism, deconstructionist critique, women's roles, gender equality.
Paper Introduction:
Henrik Ibsen, creator of the "realistic" school of drama that has dominated the 20th Century theater agenda, has travelled a curious path of critical review. Reviled at first writing of his dramas in the popular press and satirical cartoons as the sour old man of scandal and shame (Beyer 192-195), he was then canonized for the "social significance" of his realistic dramas by the "Ibsenites" - not the least being George Bernard Shaw, whose The Quintessence of Ibsenism has seemingly been the most-often heard First and Last Word on the subject of what Ibsen's plays are supposed to mean (Williams 25-26). "Fools belabored him and fools defended him; he was near to being suffocated and done for in the fog of balderdash," wrote the acerbic critic H. L. Mencken fifty some-odd years ago (vii) - and fifty some-odd years after the majority of Ibsen's realistic plays were written

Paper Abstract:
Strengths & weaknesses, sociohistorical roles & significance, author's appreciation of females in four stories & one play.
Paper Introduction:
This study will discuss the portrayal of women in five works by Anton Chekhov (four stories and one play), including their strengths and weaknesses, and will consider the historical perspective which such portrayals reflect. Specifically, the study will argue that Chekhov, in these five works, expresses a deep affection for women and an appreciation for the special suffering of women in a Russia rife with male-dominated superficiality and falseness.
In the story "The Name-Day Party," Chekhov focuses on Olga Mihailovna and her relationship with her husband Pyotr. In Olga we see immediately what editor Yarmolinsky means when he writes of Chekhov's portrayal of females: "What splendid women!" We see also a universal, timeless quality to Chekhov's appreciation of women. His works maintain a continuity of appreciation for the

Paper Abstract:
Critical views on 19th Cent. playwright's work. Themes, technique, ideology, characterizations.
Paper Introduction:
The plays of Henrik Ibsen have a strong social content, indicating the views of the playwright on some matters, and more directly showing the way different social issues were developing in the society of his time and the way those issues were in turn shaping that society. He wrote about women's rights, the plight of "whistleblowers," the meaning of social responsibility, the effects of corruption. Ibsen's views and his challenging dramatic methods made him something of a social outcast even as he was becoming one of the world's major playwrights, a voice that would speak to subsequent generations perhaps even more strongly than he did to his own.
Eric Bentley states that Ibsen's place in the eyes of the world has changed over the years, passing through two phases. The first phase was that of the late nineteenth century, of

Paper Abstract:
(Henrik Ibsen), [The Cherry Orchard] (Anton Chekhov), [Los Vendidos] (Luis Valdez) & [Mother Courage] (Bertolt Brecht). Social & political criticism in these plays.
Paper Introduction:
Dramatists often criticize society through the characters and situations they depict on stage. When they do so, they may approach the subject by looking through the world in which they live to what they believe the world should be. They may be writing at a turning point, an era in which social change is in the offing but which is being resisted by the dominant order. They may merely be commenting on aspects of the human condition which persist into their age and which they see as detrimental to society. Whatever their particular situation may be, playwrights criticize society by having characters who represent some social class or ideological position and by using symbolism as well as direct statement to make the audience see something they believe to be wrong. The characters need not themselves have the same realization or understanding of what is wrong in society, and

Paper Abstract:
(Tennessee Williams) & [A Doll House] (Henrik Ibsen). Compares & contrasts female protagonists. Success & failure in life & self-discovery, conflicts with men, personalities.
Paper Introduction:
The protagonists in A Streetcar Named Desire (Tennessee Williams; 1947) and A Doll House (Henrik Ibsen; 1879) are both women who are thwarted in their goals by male antagonists. However, Nora Helmer in A Doll House is able to transcend her situation through learning to depend on herself, whereas in A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche DuBois' continuing dependence upon others prevents her from approaching true fulfillment. This paper will show that Nora overcomes her situation because she has an inner strength and sense of independence that Blanche lacks. Throughout A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche remains dependent upon men for validation of her life. By contrast, Nora becomes independent from her husband at the end of A Doll House. For Blanche, the end of A Streetcar Named Desire is tragic; she loses her hold on reality and must be taken away to an asylum. The

Paper Abstract:
Compares two naturalistic approaches: Henrik Ibsen's social consciousness vs. August Strindberg's cynical pessimism.
Paper Introduction:
Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg are both associated with modern naturalism in the theater. In their naturalistic plays, Ibsen and Strindberg were similar in that they both included psychological, symbolic, and subjective elements in their depictions of reality. However, Ibsen and Strindberg were very different in the way they went about expressing naturalism. Ibsen was concerned with ideas of social consciousness, whereas Strindberg expressed a cynical, fatalistic, and individualistic perspective on life. This paper will show how these differences influenced the dramatic elements in the plays of Ibsen and Strindberg.
Naturalism in the theater, like realism, seeks to show life as it really is. This effort can be seen in the sets, dialogue, characterization, and plots of naturalistic plays. However,

Paper Abstract:
(Bertolt Brecht). Protaganist's role as heroine & as symbol of modern human beings' struggle to survive.
Paper Introduction:
"MOTHER COURAGE"
The playwright Bertolt Brecht described the title character of his play "Mother Courage" as "a negative, villainous character," yet she emerges for most audiences as a heroine, one who is forced into profiteering and cowardice by war. It is true that Mother Courage is an itinerant merchant who lives off the troops of both sides during the Thirty Years' War. She lives by her wits to make sure that her family remains intact. Her wagon of goods is a symbol of her family's survival, as well as the literal means by which they exist. It is the THESIS of this paper that Mother Courage fits both Brecht's description and her role as a heroine: she is a realist who, because she lives off war, is partially responsible for the death of her family.

Paper Abstract:
(Samuel Beckett). Use of four characters to portray post-modern drama & reality.
Paper Introduction:
THE "NEW SENSIBILITY" OF "ENDGAME"
Samuel Beckett's Endgame has been described as a drama that presents "the death of the stock props of Western civilization---family cohesion, filial, parental, and connubial love, faith in God, artistic appreciation and creation." It is the THESIS of this paper that Beckett is able to use only four characters--- Hamm, Nagg, Nell, and Clov--- to portray the fact that modern theater has to address itself to a new sensibility that today might be termed "postmodern." Beckett gets his title from the final stage of chess, when only a few pieces remain on the board and checkmate is near. This is the "endgame," and Beckett's play demonstrates that the mechanics of the theater (as they mirror "life") are near the checkmate stage.

Paper Abstract:

Paper Introduction:
THE N? DRAMA
The N? drama (or it is sometimes spelled the N?h drama), had its original roots in religious ceremony. This is important in understanding the N? drama for perhaps no national theater is rooted in its nation's religion, as is the N? drama. In its very beginnings the N? drama developed "from temple festivities and dances until in the 14th century the Kanami family of actors created the form still known today."
The entire approach and attitude of N? drama can be seen by the stage, which is always very simple and virtually bare, with a single fir tree painted on the back. That the stage has remained unchanging in this simple, basic form for six centuries, gives a key to N? drama itself, for the drama and the method in which it

Paper Abstract:
Critical analysis of themes, aesthetics, sociopolitics, characterizations, role of audience, postmodernism, Marxism.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the positions of dramatic critics and theorists on the work of Bertolt Brecht. The plan of the research will be to set forth methods that various theorists use to discuss Brecht's writings, to analyze competing political readings of his plays, and then to suggest a depoliticized reading of his work that is keyed to his aesthetic theory. As appropriate, reference will be made to the sometimes contradictory positions taken by Brecht as playwright, political personality, director of the Berliner Ensemble, and dramatic theorist.
One important theorist of Brechtian drama is Brecht himself. His explanation of what he termed epic theatre can be taken as a starting point for understanding the context in which the pattern of ideas in his work and the means by which these ideas may be

Paper Abstract:
(Henrik Ibsen). Major themes & characters illustrating realism of playwright's work.
Paper Introduction:
Ibsen introduced realism to the modern stage and established its conventions so powerfully that his is still the dominant stage technique. He substituted middle-class protagonists for kings and queens and wrote prose dialogue rather than poetry. He said, "My plays . . . are not tragedies in the old meaning of the word; what I have wanted to portray is human beings and that is just why I did not want them to speak the language of the gods." Two such plays during his realism period are Ghosts and The Wild Duck. Ghosts, written in 1881, and The Wild Duck, written in 1884, represent the breadth of Ibsen's realism.
The Wild Duck and Ghosts are typical of Ibsen's dominant themes: the presentness of the past; people's search for their place in life; the effects of idealism as a social force; and the problem of people's ultimate freedom. The presentness of the

Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine The Miser by Moliere. The plan of the research will be to set forth a short outline of the story, and to discuss the principal critical ideas that have arisen around the play.
The action of The Miser is built around the central character (comic hero), Harpagon, who has been consumed by his avarice, and whose enactment of that avarice on all the other characters in the play provides its central tension. Harpagon opposes the marital intentions of his son Cleante toward Mariane because he wants to marry her himself; and of his daughter Elise toward Valere because he wants to marry her off to his rich elderly friend Anselm. The greed of Harpagon, who indulges himself in jewelry and finery but denies ordinary comforts to his children and servants, has driven his children to deceit and his
