First Impressions of Walton...

The letters that begin Frankenstein are written by the primary narrator Robert Walton, to his sister, Mrs Saville.

Letter One
This letter is about Walton's upcoming trip to the North Pole. His opinions on seeing a part of the world never seen before, possibly could mirror the future plot of the book, as Frankenstein attempts to do something never done before....

Letter Two
Letter two is about Walton's feelings of loneliness on the trip, as he feels he has no friends ('I shall certainly find no friend on the wide ocean...') This could match the feelings of Frankenstein's monster, as he initially seeks a companion during the novel.

Letter Three
The final letter, Walton speaks of how nothing has gone wrong on the journey and he is fine. This might be foreshadowing Victor's situation later in the book, as EVERYTHING goes wrong...

:D

The Legend of the Extra Devil....oooohhhh!!

When the play was performed around the time that Marlowe wrote it, there was a legend that an extra devil stood next to Mephastophleles on stage. This scared and intrigued people and popularity for the play grew, even though it went against a lot of people's religious views at the time.
Simples :)

Passion Play...

(Firstly, woo!! Realised what my password was after I totally forgot it, oops :L)
Passion Play is an on stage depiction of the suffering and cruxifiction of Jesus Christ. The play has been portrayed on stage numerous times in history and was first performed in Latin in the 13th Century. In the times of the Bubonic Plague, villagers vowed to perform the play every ten years in hope of not contracting the Plague and became a symbol of hope and protection from death.

My Impressions of the end of Act 1

I think that the end of Act 1 draws the play so far together & definately prepares the audience for Act 2. I think Biff realises in the last few pages how much he is needed to take over being the head of the house from Willy. I also think it really comes out that he does care about his father, because he takes away the rubber bung from behind the heater (which Linda failed to do when she saw it.) He does however just agree with him because he is unable to bare his fathers attitude toward him. Willy is still as rude to Linda, by telling her 'don't talk no more' even though she is kind & sings to him. Also, he seems to be proud of what Biff is doing & reverts to telling Linda about Biff's popularity at school. Happy seems to be trying to catch the attention at the end of Act 1, because Biff is getting all the attention again. For example, he says he's getting married to attract his mothers attention & it doesn't work. There is also evidence that Willy is in the wrong profession, as he talks about the plumbing like he knows whats wrong.
