William Shakespeare, a playwright of the 1600’s, changed how English literature is looked at to this very day. He has influenced the way a character’s emotions are captured on a page and shaped the English language. Drama, tragedy, romance, and comedy are shown in a new light as he manipulated words to become stories of his own. Shakespeare has written numerous classic pieces that he has been credited to such as Romeo and Juliet. Each work has a new plot and storyline, but, Shakespeare seems to use common techniques and styles throughout many of the pieces. Numerous authors use this same method, which develops fluidity and patterns to their stories. This allows the author to be known for a style through their work. For Shakespeare, his works share similarities such as power struggles, love and romance, immediate conflicts, and interlinking sub stories.
Power struggles are a common theme in many older, classic works and Shakespeare also falls into the pattern as well. In the play The Taming of the Shrew the struggle is between Katherine and Petruchio, and how they both want the upper hand in situations. They seem to butt heads often, especially when they have conversations in public eye: “Petruchio: I say it is the moon.
Katherine: I know it is the moon.
Petruchio: Nay, then you lie. It is the blessèd sun.” (TTOTS IV.V.18-20) The conversation these characters are partaking in demonstrates how Katherine is the weaker one because despite her pervious knowledge of the light being the sun she breaks and complies with his ways. It also shows how presumptuous Petruchio is because he intentionally formulated a way for his wife to make a fool out of herself. A further example of this is in A Midsummer Night’s Dream...

For Shakespeare, a tragedy is simply not just a tragedy, it is a story that flourishes and grows into a profound novel. The manner in which he wrote those tragedies seems to be similar from play to play. These similarities and characteristics is what sets Shakespeare apart from other authors. It allows him to have an overall theme that ties his works together and defines his technique. Earnest Hemingway is another author who is characterized by his style of writing. Hemingway is known for having a deeper meaning under the top layer of the story, such as in The Old Man and the Sea the deeper meaning is that friendship is the most important thing in life. Whether Shakespeare wrote a tragedy, a comedy, a sonnet, or any other genre, he seemed to incorporate many of these different characteristics in his work.

One author (pattern in carpet) says that Shakespeare sees Katherine and Petruchio as in love at first sight. He says that their fights are partly like a game and partly a matter of egoism. He sees Katherine as “testing” Petruchio making sure he is “man” enough to put up with the worst of her and prove to be the husband she requires. Petruchio accept...
Power is the capability of influencing others in their behavior. It all connects to him trying to tame Katherine. He wants to change her behavior and he contains the power of doing this because at the end she respects him more than any other female would respect their husband. Throughout the play, The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare, Petruchio, Katherine 's husband, contains the power in the relationship because he is able to change her behavior.
William Shakespeare has become landmark in English literature. One must be familiar with the early days of English literature in order to comprehend the foundation of much of more modern literature’s basis. Shakespeare’s modern influence is still seen clearly in many ways. The success of Shakespeare’s works helped to set the example for the development of modern dramas and plays. He is also acknowledged for being one of the first writers to use any modern prose in his writings.
The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare is a play that is ahead of its time in its views toward gender roles within society. Katherine is a woman who is intelligent, and is not afraid to assert her views on any given situation. She is paired with another obstinate character in Pertuchio. The Marriage formed between the two is a match made in heaven for two reasons. First Because Katherine is strong enough to assert her views, and more importantly, she realizes when she should assert them. The second reason the bond survives is that Petruchio is strong enough to accept the fact that Katherine has a mind and, more importantly he loves her for that reason. Petruchio cleverly weaves the relationship into the framework of society without compromising the integrity of the relationship. Petruchio does this by comparing Katherine’s at attitude to repulsive clothing. Carefully and calculatingly, Petruchio forges a relationship that is envied by all who witness it.
Shakespeare has included many aspects of comedy in The Taming of the Shrew and has incorporated both pain and pleasure into this comedic tale. The use of cruelty is the cause of some of the pain experienced in this comedy. One of the most effective uses of cruelty in the play is when Petruchio, through sleep and food depravation, forces Katherina into submission towards him. Tom from ‘goodreads’ has analysed the use of this comedic device between the couple to seem “more like torture than love” which...
When you are deciding whether or not your family wants a mini pig, it’s important to discuss this decision with the entire family. They require a lot of attention, discipline and love, so it’s essential that everyone in your family is on board with providing care. Just like other pets, your mini pig will require patience while being trained and it is important that your pet pig go outside for walks and fresh
They remember everything and are super smart. If given enough room they will typically not go to the restroom near their sleeping or eating quarters. They love being social no matter what and they always will keep you company. The best part of it all is that they show compassion and forgiveness to their owners. They are one of the most recommended pets to families in America. Even if the pigs have a wild personality, you will still find a way to love them. Domesticated pigs highly depend on their owners to care for them.
Mini pigs have been around for decades but just recently a surge of people are wanting these small creatures as pets. With the increase popularity of these mini pigs there comes to the question as to the care of them. Seeing that they are a relatively new pet that means there is not much in the way of enrichment for this species. But before I discuss about the enrichment items out there for this species, I will give a little background information on these species.
William Shakespeare, poet and playwright, utilized humor and irony as he developed specific language for his plays, thereby influencing literature forever. “Shakespeare became popular in the eighteenth century” (Epstein 8). He was the best all around. “Shakespeare was a classic” (8). William Shakespeare is a very known and popular man that has many works, techniques and ways. Shakespeare is the writer of many famous works of literature. His comedies include humor while his plays and poems include irony. Shakespeare sets himself apart by using his own language and word choice. Shakespeare uses certain types of allusions that people always remember, as in the phrase from Romeo and Juliet, “star-crossed lovers”.
This depiction of Petruchio conforms to Shakespeare’s technique of using false realities, in order to create humour. This can also be seen in the false identity that Petruchio puts forth in his quest for dominion over Kate (that of the eccentric egomaniac). However, these false realities are not enough by themselves, as the audience has nothing to go by but what they see before them, and so they are not to know that this is not Petruchio’s true personality, and so Shakespeare employs another essential element of humour: he lets the audience know what is truly transpiring, while the characters themselves remain oblivious to the truth. He does this using a soliloquy, in which Petruchio states the strategies he shall use in order to tame Kate:
Guinea pigs, you might think they’re just bigger hamsters, but they’re way better and have hearts of gold! They’ll fit perfectly into your classroom, and I’ll tell you why they are just so perfect.
The Effectiveness of Shakespeare’s Linguistic Choices in Conveying the Power Struggle Between Katherine and Petruchio
Pigs are unique animals due to the fact that there is such a wide variety of pig breeds and body parts. They can be used for several different things including showing, meat, and medicine.
Arguably the greatest playwright of his time, perhaps in all of history, William Shakespeare's literary works have had a tremendous impact (see Appendix 2). Reaching into the pop culture of the modern world through movies and quotes used in everyday conversation, Shakespeare's influence is astounding (see Appendix 1). One rarely stops to think, however, about events that had an impact on Shakespeare's life, particularly his writing. The outbreak of the plague, social disparity, political unrest, just a few of the historical happenings that impacted Shakespeare's plays, including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, and Henry IV
