About This Topic

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Social criticism of Luces de Bohemia by Valle-Inclán
A number of influential Spanish playwrights were active during the early part of the 20th century, including Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclán who invented a new dramatic device that he termed "esperpento" in his play, "Luces de Bohemia" or "Bohemian Lights." Originally published in 1920, this play about the people of the City of Madrid was not actually produced until 1963, but Valle-Inclán's other major contributions to dramatic literature include Divinas palabras and the three Comedias bárbaras, but most authorities agree that "Luces de Bohemia" is Valle-Inclán's masterpiece. To gain some fresh insights into the delayed production of this play and the social criticism that it generated at the time as well as the time, space and historical moment in which it was created, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature concerning Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclan's play, "Bohemian Lights," followed by a summary of the research and important findings in the conclusion.
