odious savors sweet,"82 he was supposted to say ‘odors' instead of ‘odious' in
the sentence. Odors means "fragrant smells," while odious means "repulsive." A
simple mistake by someone that is low in the society, but totally changes the
meaning of the sentence. This humor is obvious to everybody watching that
Bottom had made a mistake. This type of humor, while obvious, sometimes doesn't

Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other
meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck.
Puck is a hyperactive child tha .....

Compare And Contrast: Oedipus And Othello
<view this essay>.... theatrical presentation of both plays are very similar. The two
plays would both be presented on a thrust stage, which is a platform surrounded
on three sides by the audience. Except for the backdrop which would have some
element of scenery, the stage itself would be bare apart from a few scenic
elements and props. Othello, like most of Shakespeare's plays, had what is
called an abstract setting. That is a setting in which 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 s .....

Fashion In The 1920s
<view this essay>.... fashion took a dramatic turn. Women were flattening their busts and hips and unbinding their waists, which resulted in a long, slim line known as "garçonne," meaning 'boyish' in French. Dress waistlines gradually fell to around the hips, as hemlines steadily began to rise. In 1925, the hemlines rose to an unprecedented high -- the bottom of the knee. They stayed there until almost 1929 when they finally plummeted back down to the lower calf.
It may surprise you to learn that in the 1920's, a lot of clothing was still made at home or by tailors and dressmakers. The brand-name, ready-to-wear industry didn't really exist until the 1930's. Therefore, m .....

Oedipus Rex: Tragedy Of Fate
<view this essay>.... with the struggle between the all powerful gods
and the mere will of the humans. The prophecy had been made about Oedipus as
soon as he was born. Once the destiny was foretold by the gods, no amount of
hope, faith, or vain effort by human beings could have prevented it.
As soon as there was interference with fate, it was counteracted by the
divinities. Jocasta wanted to kill the baby, so she skewed his legs together,
had a servant bring him to the forest and leave him for dead. The servant does
not want to carry out this deed and therefore "saves his life" by handing the
baby to someone else, so that he can be raised in another city. Further, a
drunken .....
