Download or read book Introduction to Play Analysis written by Cal Pritner and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this indispensable companion to any theatre class in which scripts are read and interpreted, Pritner and Walters offer five sequential levels of reading designed to lead to a deep understanding of the text. Level one imagines the play as performed in front of an audience; level two examines the deep structure of the conflict; level three examines given circumstances and the type of relationship the play creates between the audience and the production; level four looks closely at characters’ behavior and reactions to their given circumstances, surveys conflict in each scene, and encourages supplemental research about the play; finally, level five synthesizes the information acquired from the preceding levels. Each chapter introduces a concept that is then explored by studying its application to The Glass Menagerie, chosen for both its accessibility and its complexity. Other plays discussed include works by Molière, Shakespeare, Sophocles, and August Wilson. End-of-chapter questions are applicable to any play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood finds in Hamlet a series of violations of generic expectation that opens up the narrow range of revenge tragedy to the fuller scope of tragedy proper. Because Hamlet problematizes genre, we become aware of the problems generated when mythic narrative is infused with self-conscious dramatic characters. The resulting ambivalence of the generic framework makes possible the play's generalized challenge to institutions of social order.

Download or read book Text Analysis with R written by Matthew L. Jockers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its second edition, Text Analysis with R provides a practical introduction to computational text analysis using the open source programming language R. R is an extremely popular programming language, used throughout the sciences; due to its accessibility, R is now used increasingly in other research areas. In this volume, readers immediately begin working with text, and each chapter examines a new technique or process, allowing readers to obtain a broad exposure to core R procedures and a fundamental understanding of the possibilities of computational text analysis at both the micro and the macro scale. Each chapter builds on its predecessor as readers move from small scale “microanalysis” of single texts to large scale “macroanalysis” of text corpora, and each concludes with a set of practice exercises that reinforce and expand upon the chapter lessons. The book’s focus is on making the technical palatable and making the technical useful and immediately gratifying. Text Analysis with R is written with students and scholars of literature in mind but will be applicable to other humanists and social scientists wishing to extend their methodological toolkit to include quantitative and computational approaches to the study of text. Computation provides access to information in text that readers simply cannot gather using traditional qualitative methods of close reading and human synthesis. This new edition features two new chapters: one that introduces dplyr and tidyr in the context of parsing and analyzing dramatic texts to extract speaker and receiver data, and one on sentiment analysis using the syuzhet package. It is also filled with updated material in every chapter to integrate new developments in the field, current practices in R style, and the use of more efficient algorithms.
Download or read book Hamlet in Analysis written by Meg Harris Williams and published by Harris Meltzer Trust. This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel, originally entitled A Trial of Faith, is an exploration of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in the form of a novel tracing the course of a Kleinian analysis. It is an experiment in literary criticism as much as in fiction, and was written in collaboration with the psychoanalyst Donald Meltzer, who supervised each weekly chapter as it was written, from an analyst’s perspective. The intention was to be faithful to the psychoanalytic process as well as to the aesthetic implications of Shakespeare’s play. The narrator and analyst is Horatio, whom Hamlet in the play asks to “tell his story” – the story of an adolescent break-down. Hamlet as a character invites an unusually close form of identification: as Hazlitt put it, “It is we who are Hamlet.” Horatio’s countertransference as one who is supposed to “suffer all yet suffer nothing” places him in a vulnerable and testing situation that tempts him towards breaches of technique. The novel, like the play (in my view) is structured around a series of dreams that Hamlet recounts to Horatio. Meanwhile the underlying preoccupation with playing-as-reality highlights some intriguing implications of Shakespeare’s own mid-career struggles as a dramatist: concerning the relation between genre, analysand-protagonist and analyst-playwright. The present revised edition of the novel includes a new introduction, some minor changes to the text, and the insertion of more quotations to mark the source of the emotional conflict. Such markers also illustrate the dreamlike and turbulent reading process of writing literary criticism, which entails not the deconstruction but (as was said of Ophelia) the “unshaping” of language in a way that “botches up words to fit the hearer’s own thoughts”. It is for readers to judge whether or not the current botching speaks to their own feelings stirred by Shakespeare’s play and helps to make sense of the reactions aroused in we who are Hamlet.

Download or read book The Mystery of Hamlet written by Myron Stagman and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamlet kills Polonius thinking he is Claudius. Yet he cannot kill Claudius. Why? Hamlet, angry, tells Ophelia: “Take thee to a nunnery!” [nunnery: Renaissance slang for brothel] “There [in Heaven] is no shuffling; there the action lies in his true nature, and we ourselves compelled, even to the teeth and forehead of our faults, to give in evidence.” —King Claudius “Why does Hamlet attend the German university at Wittenberg? Why study at a university at all? An incorrigible symbolist, Shakespeare must secretly import what he does not openly impart.” Contrast resolute avenger Laertes, who would “cut [Hamlet’s] throat i’ the church”! Shakespeare understood the Freudian slip centuries before Dr. Freud in Vienna. Twice he employs it to give us hints. Queen Gertrude to her son Hamlet: “What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me? ... Alas, he’s mad!” “Prince Hamlet is a disillusioned idealist, a vital key to his generous, passionate, and tragically conscientious character.” Camelot—“Shakespeare specifically ties the assassination of Hamlet to the death of King Arthur and the collapse of the fellowship of the Round Table.”
Download or read book Why did Hamlet delay his revenge An analysis of Shakespeare s play written by Niklas Bastian and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Anglistik), course: Hamlet: Nature, Reason & Murder, language: English, abstract: Is Hamlet even delaying his revenge or does it merely take him some time to plot and execute it? Critic G.B. Harrison stands by this assumption and says “In the play which Shakespeare wrote, there was no delay”. But there are other critics finding the answer to the delayed revenge in the main character himself. But for sure there is some sort of delay all through the play, a delay that somehow is based on the behavior of the main character, Prince Hamlet. If there was no delay, Hamlet would have acted in a whole different way. As soon as he was told that his father had been killed by his uncle, he would have taken out his sword and simply killed the new king of Denmark. There would not have been much delay and self-doubt then. Hamlet’s act of revenge is fulfilled a couple hundred pages and thousands of lines later. The question comes to mind: Why did Hamlet delay so long in taking his revenge for his father’s murder?
