Doubling of Parts in Shakespeare’s “The Two Noble Kinsmen” and “King Henry VIII”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper describing the opportunities available for the doubling of parts in the William Shakespeare’s “The Two Noble Kinsmen” and “King Henry VIII”. The Shakespearean plays “The Two Noble Kinsmen” and “King Henry VIII” both provide ample opportunities for actors to assume multiple roles. In a relatively small and often touring company of a dozen or so players, the plays both call for up to thirty different parts. While men are mostly distinguished by their beards and women (portrayed by men) are distinguished by their slight builds, smooth faces and dresses, the plays both call for additional demands on dual roles. Luckily, in “The Two Noble Kinsmen” many of the characters introduced in the first scene are robed and veiled allowing for an easy transition back stage into other characters. In “King Henry VIII” many more male characters are needed in addition to the regular group of attendants and guards. Shakespeare provides the audience with detailed descriptions of the lords and dukes’ distinct cloaks or jackets which allow the actors to only place on one garment to assume a particular role. Skilful planning must take place and while many characters enter and exit, both plays only largely require a maximum of a dozen players on the stage at any one time.

of characters in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and
“Love’s Labor’s Lost.” Shakespeare regularly explored issues of
love in loyalty in his plays. Many of the characters and the
circumstances in which he presented them caused the audience to

character to take in terms of their actions proving their love
and their loyalty to their loved one. No additional sources.

Mimetic Theory and “Troilus and Cressida”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses Shakespeare’s “Troilus and Cressida” in terms of
mimetic theory. It should be understood that 'mimetic' means to
imitate. But in terms of artistic expression . . . to imitate
what? Ultimately, it is the notion of imitation within the
context of an artistic reproduction, such as poetry, painting,
literature, and/or drama. The mimetic theory is applicable during
a study of Troilus and Cressida since the play presents a
situation in which the tension between the ideal and the actual
state of facts, between what could have been and what became
truth, is turned on its proverbial end to what amounts to an
ironic comedy or a comedic irony, regardless of its painful
measure of bitterness. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
