Hamlet and The Stranger Final Topic

Daniel Arcega Mrs. Emerick IB English HL II November 30 2021 Hamlet and The Stranger Final Topics D.3 Hamlet and The Stranger use the main protagonists’ internal dialogue to give the reader insight into their character. Hamlet’s soliloquies are used to show the audience his internal conflict.  Hamlet’s internal conflict originates from a sense of uselessness. His soliloquy in act one scene two describes to the audience how powerless he feels. “But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue”(Shakespeare 1.2.159).

Doubt Final Topics

Daniel Arcega Mrs. Emerick IB English HL II Doubt Final Topics #1: Film Critique     The film technique used in the theatrical version of doubt that I will overview is the way in which the film characterizes Sister Aloysius through her actions and the actions of others. In the novel, there is only basic scene descriptions to give the reader a general perspective of the scene and its characters. The characters are rarely described doing actions.
