Pier Paolo Pasolini's "The Decameron"
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Comparing and contrasting the manner by which women are treated and portrayed within the cinematic approach of Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Decameron is to first understand the original motivation of writer Giovanni Boccaccio, secondly liken this work to others – such as Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales – that reflect a similarity in gender treatment and thirdly realize to what extent Pasolini was attempting to remain true to form. Clearly, Boccaccio's treatment and portrayal of women in his fourteenth century composition of The Decameron was meant to ruffle stiff social feathers by depicting the female gender as having their own minds, thoughts and actions apart from their patriarchal counterparts. One can readily see that while Pasolini does remain mostly on course with Boccaccio's original objective, he also interjects his own brand of lighthearted comedy, as well. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Plays of Comedy which Overcome Obstacles of Death and Dark Themes
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing two plays which manage to overcome the obstacle of death. David Ives’ “All in the Timing” and Michael Frayn’s “Noises Off” are two plays which manage to overcome death and dark themes by skilful timing and framing of dark elements within lighter and farcical works. In both plays death is so close yet comical elements keep the characters at an unreal distance from it thereby not making it a powerful obstacle to overcome. In “All in the Timing” which contains six one act plays, Ives frames the last 36 hours of Trotsky’s death by the one act play proceeding it “The Universal Language” and the one act play which follows it “Philadelphia” which both included elements of the ridiculous while the Trotsky play itself manages to overcome its dark content by Trotsky’s fear of ice picks all the while having a mountaineer’s axe wedged in his head. “Noises Off” on the other hand is a three act play which shows the onstage production of a farcical and bad play called “Nothing On” in acts one and three while the dark and conniving backstage life of the actors and actresses are shown in act two. Surrounded by the unreal and comical acts of one and three does an adequate job of lightening the content of act two, but act two itself contains a large amount of slap stick and physical comedy which lightens the elements of death and successfully continues in its comic frame. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
