“Death Of A Salesman” And “The Entertainer”: Compare/Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The struggle to achieve; the desire to be accepted; the will to continue forward even when all previous efforts have manifested in failure – these are the elements that form a common bond between Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” and John Osborne’s “The Entertainer.” Clearly, the drive for social, financial and emotional success represents the very foundation of these two plays; even though they are set in different times, places and circumstances, the respective protagonists still mirror each other’s desperation to reach a social status that inevitably eludes them both.

“Drag” Performance in the American Theater
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page report discusses the history and impact of drag performances on the American theater. One of the reasons that drag performance, whether in a drag queen show or in the “legitimate” theater, titillates, amuses, and shocks people is that it plays with gender’s most honored and traditional beliefs and celebrates the confusion of social and sexual identities. Drag is definitely not found only in the homosexual community, but also in other worlds of cross-dressing: straight men dressing in drag for personal thrills and people in the performing arts donning drag as part of a show. In the a dramatic performance, cross-dressing establishes a realm that differs from daily preconceptions of life -- just as drama itself does. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
