1 Analysis Of Cosi Fan Tutte. >>> How to write an essay? Order on the website HelpWriting.Net <<<. Analysis Of Cosi Fan Tutte Avtaran Jain Cosi Fan Tutte Review Many have heard the saying that art does not have a language barrier. However, there are times when the expression above fails to hold true for a performance. It in during these times, that the unison of the audience breaks, and a dichotomy forms. My recent experience with the play, Cosi Fan Tutte was somewhat similar to the events described above. Although Cosi Fan Tutte attempts to establish itself in the hearts of the crowd through its talented and experienced cast, it ultimately fails due to its tediously repetitive song structure and narrow intended audience. The adeptness and dexterity of an individual have always been fundamental talents to look for when viewing a performance. These individuals are the one that help the event advance to success. When it comes to the qualities mentioned above, the cast of Cosi Fan Tutte definitely possess most. Because Cosi Fan Tutte is a performance written by Mozart, it comes as no surprise that the level of singing and acting required is highly demanding even for veterans in the industry. Yet, despite all these hurdles, the cast of the performance is able to captivate and delight the audience through its outstanding vocal finesse and entertaining characterization. Ferrando, played by Carlos Feliciano and Guglielmo, played by Eli Glick are the stars of the show, displaying their level of musical acumen through songs such as "Una bella serenata" and "E voi ridete" which require a vocal >>> Get more content on Helpwriting.net <<<

4 Can Somebody Write My Essay - " HelpWriting.Net ". "Cosi", by Louis Nowra, is a play which comprises of many distinct characters, each with their own unique backgrounds and outlooks on life. Throughout Cosi, the different ways in which the patients escape the depressing reality of the asylum and their conditions become evident. Roy creates a false memory of a fantastic childhood and obsesses over Cosi Fan Tutte and "the music of the spheres" so as to suppress the tragic knowledge of his experiences as a child and his life in the asylum. In a similar way, Ruth obsesses over the notions of truth, reality and illusion, constantly seeks reassurance and requires detailed routines to feel comfortable. Julie uses drugs in order to feel "living" and claims that the opera allows her to get out... Show more content on Helpwriting.net... Julie resents being in the asylum and feels that the staff "don't know how to deal with drug users" (p. 32). For this reason, she looks to Lewis and the making of Cosi Fan Tutte for peace of mind. In reference to the play, Julie says, "I like it because I'm doing something. Using up energy. Getting out of my ward. God, how I hate that ward" (p. 36). The asylum is perceived to be prison by all the patients; one which, like Julie, they all wish to escape using different means. Julie escapes the asylum through busying herself with Cosi Fan Tutte as well as Lewis, a temporary love interest. The latter is evident in Julie and Lewis' articulate discussions and "passionate" kiss (p. 68). Julie discusses her usage of drugs which can also be viewed as a form of escapism on her behalf. She says that "drugs make [her] feel sort of living" and compares "junk" to love, saying that "Some people can't imagine life without love" while she "can't imagine life without junk" (p. 37). Julie does not seem to care that drugs are not an accepted means to feeling alive – she recalls the shrink calling them a 'crutch' while she calls them a 'rocket to the stars' (p. 32). This highlights that Julie has her own perception of reality that is contrary to what is widely held to be true, >>> Get more content on Helpwriting.net <<<

It is a movement that originated in European theatres. A Naturalistic role play is used within a theatrical performance to demonstrate how a character would react in a real life situation.

In Louis Nowra's 1971 play, 'Cosi', protagonist Lewis Riley is encouraged to 'bring the patients out of their shells' by directing them in a play but although Lewis is the one instructing and guiding them, the asylum patients end up altering Lewis's understandings about love and the mentally ill, as well as shaping his character, confirming that they evidently educate Lewis more than he teaches them. Lewis, being an 'outsider' ultimately has the ability to influence the inmates of the asylum. Nowra first indicates this idea by setting the first scene of the play in a 'brunt out theatre', representing the gloom that the setting originally holds but when Lewis enters the room, so does a 'chink of light', highlighting the possibility that Lewis... Show more content on Helpwriting.net... Doug claims that women 'pretend they don't play around' which differs from Lewis 'faithful' view of Lucy. Julie also approaches this topic when she states that 'women are flesh and blood too', allowing Lewis to question how he really feels about women. Roy's choice of play, 'Cosi Fan Tutte' also questions women's fidelity, claiming that 'women's faithfulness is like the Arabian Phoenix, everyone swears it exists but no one has ever seen it'. Through these examples, and many stories from other patients, Lewis is able to form a more traditional view on romance and is able to differentiate between love and lust, understanding that love and acceptance are important in relations, which is what Nowra is trying express throughout the play. This change in Lewis is apparent when Lewis describes the opera as being about 'important things, like love and fidelity' and when he reacts with genuine hurt at the fact that Lucy is 'sleeping' with him but 'having sex' with Nick. This transformation highlights one example of a lesson that Lewis learnt while rehearsing a play with the asylum patients. In addition, the patients inadvertently help Lewis develop in character because through his partnership with the mentally ill, he is able to understand what >>> Get more content on Helpwriting.net <<<

Inner Journey Cosi Inner Journey Assessment William F Buckley quoted "If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey most of us would never start at all". This quote relates to journeys, specifically to inner journeys with the intention that many journeys are difficult and if individuals knew how difficult the journey was going to be, then most of us would not even commence the journey. A journey is simply a movement from one place to another. Physical journeys are gateways to inner journeys, which is a journey of the mind and spirit. Inner journeys take place when an individual experiences events or is involved in relationships that act as a catalyst to gain greater understanding about themselves and the world. Inner journeys can be... Show more content on Helpwriting.net... The metaphor transfers the journey from a physical one. The persona is confronted with the choice of two roads, both fairly similar 'two roads diverged in a yellow wood', and must decide which one he wants to travel. This is similar to Lewis's situation where he has to decide between politics, and true love and fidelity and which is more important. The persona, with ultimately choosing the one that was 'grassy and wanted wear' and the ' one less travelled by'. He wanted to break away from the norm and experience something new. This road may be more rewarding despite the fact it presents more challenges. The inner journey is depicted through the use of language techniques such as, extended metaphor, first person pronoun, repetition and symbolism. The use of first person pronoun 'I' shows that it is a personal journey where choices need to be made. The repetition of 'I' in the last stanza highlights the speaker's solitude and that he is proud of the choice he has made 'and I–I took the one less travelled by', also emphasises that we are responsible for our own decisions on our own journey. It helps the audience connect to the poem and inturn reflect on their own inner journey experiences. Frost uses symbolism in the word in the first line of the first stanza in 'yellow' of the wood. This symbolises the season autumn and the autumnal time in ones life where time is running out and decisions need to be made, this demonstrates >>> Get more content on Helpwriting.net <<<

Discuss the importance of setting and imagery in conveying Nowra's ideas in Cosi. The burnt out theatre in Nowra's play 'Cosi' represents the life inside an asylum, a life that the characters know all too well. Life inside an asylum is portrayed as a dark, cold and isolated place, where the outside world is not often talked about and for others almost doesn't exist.

Have you ever heard words that sound like gibberish making it extremely painful for you to understand? Have you ever tried to decipher a cryptic language that keeps you from unfurling the truth? The play, Cosi fan tutte, by W.A. Mozart and Lorenza De Ponte, fails to impress the audience by making its dialogue frighteningly difficult to understand. This musical drama, at its best, is ineffective which can be shown by its recurring dreary themes and its shockingly limited relatability. Perhaps it only redeemable quality is it genuine and dedicated cast, who try to add humor and excitement to this otherwise monotonous opus. Music lies at the heart of every opera. If the songs of the opera fail to impress the audience, it can spell disaster for the performance. The compositions of Cosi fan tutte prove to be dour and repetitious, ultimately setting a bleak and distressing atmosphere. For instance songs such as "Sento oddio, che questo piede" and "Di Scrivermi ogni giorno" address the same topic of Ferrando and Guglielmo leaving their fianc Г©s Fiordiligi and Dorabella and going off to war. In both of these songs, the men try to appease their clearly distressed fianc Г©s and in both of these songs the fianc Г©s give and overly dramatic performance of heartbreak.

Set in a typical mental asylum in the 1970's during the anti– Vietnam War protests and the feminist movement for women's equal rights, the play 'Cosi' by Louis Nowra deeply explores the themes of love and fidelity, in a society predominantly concerned with war and politics. Throughout the play, Nowra uses the play within a play, 'Cosi Fan Tutte', to convey his key values regarding the importance of love and fidelity in today's world, while questioning the necessity of war and condemning society's perceptions of madness itself.

This very much represents the physical crossing from the 'normal' world into a world which is not seen from the outside, and pushed to the edge of society, and further resembles a glimpse of hope for the patients' recovery. In the later scenes of the play, during the performance of Mozart's opera, the entire theatre has been transformed into something completely different, with its white walls, the bright, colourful costumes, and Mozart's "music of the spheres" echoing within the once dark and dismal place. The new theatre in all its splendour metaphorically resembles the transformations of the characters themselves, and from this, the audience is encouraged to realise the significance and therapeutic nature of art, in this case theatre and music: "the music of this opera will keep the world in harmony", especially in contrast to hopeless treatments such as shock therapy. Through his play, Nowra also encourages the audience to agree with his personal view that war is unnecessary, and in a way is a kind of madness itself, due to its chaotic and uncontrollable nature.

Nick and Lucy both share similar beliefs that the Vietnam War protest is more important than anything else. Nick and Lucy are the presented as representatives of the more modern attitudes towards love and fidelity. This is shown by Lucy and Nick being advocates of free love and seeing sex and love as two different things, this is evident when Nick says to Lewis "She's sleeping with you, were having sex" (referring to the relationship between Nick and Lucy.) and "Lucy's not possessive about you, I'm not possessive about her. What's the fuss?" This shows how societies' views of love and fidelity and what is acceptable are changing to a more laid back, free attitude. These quotes reflect the values and attitudes towards sex at the time, as women were now more freely engaging in sexual relations outside of marriage, and demonstrating 'free love'.
