They are more and more surrounded by people who do not understand the relationship and do not have any interest in supporting it. This is very sad to me because it means that it is the end of an era, of an old way of life. I like to see the old customs remain, but modern society has become so fast, so digitalized, so self-absorbed that there is simply less and less room in the culture for the type of interaction required of live performance. The modern culture has been emptied out of patience and of respect for others. The stage is no longer a place of meaning for most people, and that means all the great material associated with the stage is being lost. This is very sad because people of today still need to learn lessons that the people of the past learned. However, the question for me is: Do they have to be learned in the same way?

As Don Giovanni and Leporello admire the girls involved, Giovanni begins to grow very interested in Zerlina: "What have we? Well, now! Some honest rustic folk; and lots are lovely!" In a ploy to win her favor, Don Giovanni invites the party to his castle to eat and drink. Once there, he detains Zerlina,

Plays do not take place in the real world but in a created world, a world set in one isolated spot (the stage) with several specific individuals isolated from real life (characters) interacting in a manner that conveys thematic issues and

This change is subtle but it is important because, with this change, Laura has the most hope from her brother or her mother. Tom speaks at the end of the play as he does in the beginning of the play. He has not evolved not has he experienced anything that deepens his character. He is still as lost as he was before. Amanda, too, remains unchanged at the end
Heroes occur -- within the conventions of Western drama and Western literature more generally -- within the context of tragedy, for it is the stresses of tragic situations that (typically) allow for heroism to arise. But we can -- especially if we use the lenses of gender and queer theory -- see that Shakespeare has written a comedic play that nevertheless allows for heroism to come through. At least
