1. Criticism of the play Brute
2. Students’ presentation on the road not taken and fire and ice by Robert Frost
This one-act play is an excellent example of a melodrama operating on the theme that love has a mind and a will of its own and truly does change people. It shows how the characters' dialogue and actions prove that love can blossom in the strangest circumstances.
The writer discusses how, through humor "The humor and melodrama in this play revolve solely around the characters' dialogue. In the beginning of the play, Mrs. Popov and Luka carry on a rather civil conversation. For example, Mrs. Popov tells Luka, "My life is done. He is in the grave. I have buried myself alive in this house" She also declares that her life has been "an empty dream” and even declares, while looking at a picture of her dead husband “Till death do us apart" She is even civil to Smirnov when he first appears, telling him that he will "receive your money the day after tomorrow" Similarly, Smirnov speaks to Mrs. Popov in a civilized manner. While the characters treat each other with a certain amount of respect, we already have a sense of the melodrama that is taking place. This technique is successful because we are engaged with the play and curious as to how it will end.
