Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 10

It is a few hours later that night.

Blanche has been drinking pretty steadilysince Mitch left.

She has dragged her wardrobe to the centerof the bedroom. It hangs open with flowerydresses thrown across it. As the drinking. As

the drinking and packing went on, a mood ofhysterical exhilaration came over her andshe has decked herself out in a somewhatsoiled and crumpled white satin eveninggown and a pair of scuffed silver slipperswith brilliants set in their heels.

Now she is placing rhinestone tiara on herhead before the mirror of the dressing tableand murmuring excitedly as if to a group ofspetral admirers.

Enter Lady Macbeth with taper

and recontextualizingaccurately characterize the way thatsome university students now think they should write academic

essays. Butthose same key terms accurately characterize the

way plays were achieved, and by which plays were treated in the

Elizabethan popular theatre (Pettitt, 2007).

Hamlet Act 3, Scene 2

Tis now the very witching time of night,

When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out

Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood,

And do such bitter business as the dayWould quake to look on. Soft! now to my mother.

O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever

The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom:

Let me be cruel, not unnatural:

I will speak daggers to her, but use none;

My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites;

How in my words soever she be shent,

To give them seals never, my soul, consent!

Thriller

it's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run

You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl!

But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind

You're out of time

To Beat it or not to Be

By Michele C.

Tis now the very witching time of night.Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart.

When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out

You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it.

Contagion to this world, now could I drink hot blood--

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

Never, my soul, consent

You're out of time!

"There must be some kind of way out of here,"

Said the joker to the thief,

"There's too much confusion,

I can't get no relief.

Businessman they drink my wine,

Plowman dig my earth

None will level on the line, nobody offered his word,

hey"

"No reason to get excited,"

The thief, he kindly spoke

"There are many here among us

Who feel that life is but a joke

But you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate

So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants, too

Out, damned spot! out, I say!--One: two: why,

then, 'tis time to do't.--Hell is murky!--Fie, my

lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we

fear who knows it, when none can call our power to

account?--Yet who would have thought the old man

to have had so much blood in him.

The thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?--

What, will these hands ne'er be clean?--No more o'

that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with

this starting.

All Along the Castle Halls"

by Lisa White

There must be some way out of here; will these hands ne'er be clean?

There's too much confusion here; I can't get no relief.

Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie.

What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?

There are many here among us who think that life is but a joke.

But you and I, we've been through that; and that is not our fate.

Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

Fie, my lord, fie.

So let us not talk falsely now; because the hour is getting late.

Here's the smell of all the blood still; I can't get no relief.

Your turn

JULIET: Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,

Towards Phoebus' lodging! Such a wagonerAs Phaeton would whip you to the west

And bring in cloudy night immediately.

Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,

That runaway's eyes may wink, and Romeo

Leap to these arms untalked of and unseen.

Lovers can see to do their amorous rites

By their own beauties; or, if love be blind

Your turn

ACT 3, SCENE 3 of Macbeth, A park near the palace.

Enter three Murderers wait to kill Banquo and Fleance. The First and Second Murderer were notexpecting the Third Murderer.

First Murderer: But who did bid thee join with us?

Third Murderer: Macbeth.

Second Murderer: He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers

Our offices and what we have to do

To the direction just.

First Murderer: Then stand with us.

Third Murderer: Hark! I hear horses.

Give me that mattock and the wrenching iron...

Gorged with the dearest morsel of the earth,

Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open,

And, in despite, I'll cram thee with more food!

That murder'd my love's cousin, with which grief,

It is supposed, the fair creature died.
