    The American Dream, and All Its Splendor (great Gatsby)

    The 1920s were a decade of rebirth characterised by the founding of the "American Dream" -- the belief that anyone can, and should, achieve material success.

  • Point/counterpoint in Twelfth Night

    Point/counterpoint in Twelfth Night

    Point-CounterPoint in Twelfth Night Shakespeare’s romantic comedy Twelfth Night employs the literary device known as counterpoint to accent the dramatic tension in the plot. Counterpoint is a technique of contrasting two distinctly different items against one another, creating conflicts between opposing sides. However, this conflict does not imply a clashing, destructive dissonance; instead, counterpoint leads to a ‘harmonic resonation’ between characters, as the interactions between two opposing personalities lead to plot and character development.
