Alan Ayckbourn/The Norman Conquests
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page essay that examines Alan Ayckbourn’s “The Norman Conquests” is a trilogy of plays: “Table Manners,” “Living Together,” and “Round and Round the Garden.” All three plays involve the same characters and the events of one weekend in July. However, each play tells the story of the weekend from a different location in the house and, therefore, from a different perspective. Examination of these three plays reveals the intricate way in which they are constructed and why this structure substantiates the position that the trilogy should be regarded as a single work. No additional sources cited.

Albee's "The Sandbox" - Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Edward Albee falls under a literary classification not many others have the privilege of inhabiting, inasmuch as the eclectic playwright harbors a special - if not wholly indefinable - talent for highlighting mankind's absurdity. The extent to which The Sandbox reflects the epitome of Albee's distinctive genre is both grand and far-reaching; that this particular story is steeped with vacuous characters who have nary an original thought in their collective heads whose interaction with one another amounts to little more than a spew of formulated truisms. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Ally McBeal: Cultural Values And Behavior
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The notoriety of Ally McBeal is not that surprising if one considers the standard elements of contemporary popular culture that it depicts. Indeed, the extent to which this particular program highlights such cultural values as capitalism and individualism, while at the same time devaluing certain ways of being, lends to the show's credibility as a reflection of society. Money and self-centeredness are two of the primary cultural values that stand out in virtually every episode; amidst the young law firm is a collection of people whose ideals are as shallow as a child's. That everything revolves around the amassing of great quantities of money reflects the manner by which society has rearranged priorities by placing superficiality at the top of the list. Add to that a significant sense of feminism gone awry and it all adds up to a television program that offends virtually every possible social group. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
