To what extent does Shakespeare use comedy to explore the perceptions of love in Twelfth Night?

"In conclusion I think that comedy plays a major role in the part of portraying the perceptions of love. Though the play has a very good potential of becoming tragic, this makes the audience appreciate the happy ending. Also I think it makes the play more comical because of the fact it was so close to going wrong for the characters and makes the ending much more of a relief and welcomed so greatly by the audience. BY GEORGINA WADSLEY"

To what extent does Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" conform to the model of the comedy of manners you have studied?

"To conclude, in the end of the play we can see that Oscar Wilde indeed does conform to the comedy of manners and creates a light hearted comedy that universally all people can relate to and enjoy, which is why the play has been so popular for more than a century."

Focusing On a Clockwork Orange and Frankenstein compare some of the ways authors explore the idea of what it means to be an outcast.

"In conclusion, the authors of both A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess - and Frankenstein - Mary Shelley have don e well in concealing the ideas of an outcast in their novels, using the actions of the characters and knowledge of systematic psychological and sociological emotions the ideas of an outcast in the novels were unveiled."
