Compare And Contrast: Oedipus And Othello
.... more emphasis on the language and the performer, which
causes the spectator to use their imagination. It also places more
emphasis on costuming. This type of setting helped set up the style of
representational theater, which places high emphasis on the realistic. The
style used in classical Greece was presentational which, because of the use

similarity of the two types of presentation. Othello is a purely

and her whole life began to fall apart. She started to be overcome with her

.... it anymore. This is a reflection of
society's present day treatment of the elderly. Younger generations now,
move older people into rest homes and try to keep them out of public view,
