The poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas uses the villanelle form to encourage old men not to accept death passively. Over five tercets and a concluding quatrain, the speaker urges the wise, good men, wild men, and grave men not to "go gentle" but to "rage, rage against the dying of the light." In the final stanza, the speaker directly addresses his own father, who is dying, pleading with him not to submit to death without defiance.
This document discusses themes of equality between men and women in George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. It notes that Shaw portrays women in the play as willful and walking side by side with men in all fields of life. Both men and women are shown to have positive and negative traits. The document argues that Shaw aimed to depict this natural situation and showcase women's willfulness as equal to men's, challenging the beliefs of previous eras that tended to portray women negatively and men positively in all aspects of life.

Though he stopped writing novels after age 45, he had a successful career as a BBC broadcaster.

The document outlines the seven elements of modern drama: 1) Characters, 2) Plot, 3) Theme, 4) Dialogue, 5) Convention, 6) Genre, and 7) Audience. It defines each element and provides examples. Character refers to the people in the play. Plot is the sequence of events. Theme is the main idea or lesson. Dialogue is the words spoken. Convention are techniques used by playwrights. Genre is the type of play. Audience is the most important element for some playwrights.
Drama has two aspects - as a literary composition and as a performance on stage. It presents a story entirely through dialogue and action. The key elements of drama include setting, characters, plot, theme and style. Settings identify the time and place of events. Characters have physical, social, psychological and moral aspects. Plots involve a beginning, middle and ending, with events structured as either natural or episodic sequences. Themes convey the central idea, while style refers to the mode of presentation. Common genres include tragedy, comedy, tragicomedy, farce and melodrama.

1. Beckett, Samuel: Esperando a Godot Fecha: 16 y 18 de noviembre del 2009 Año y sección: 5to “A” y 5to “B” Profesora: Felícitas Espino Vivanco
2. Beckett, Samuel: Esperando a Godot 1 ¿Alguna vez has esperado a alguien que no vino nunca? 2 ¿Cómo te sentiste? ¿qué es lo que esperas tú? 3 ¿Alguna vez has buscado algo que dé sentido a tu vida? 4 ¿Qué esperas de la vida? ¿Cuál crees que es tu misión aquí en la tierra? Veamos un poco de la vida de Beckett
3. SAMUEL BECKETT Nació en Dublín en 1906 Estudia en Trinity College Familia protestante París en 1928 de Viaja a James Joyce Amigo de De quien llega a ser Secretario Donde radica hasta que Regresa a Dublín en 1930 Enseña francés en Trinity college Publica “Murphy” Participa en resistencia francesa Perseguido por la Gestapo es Se refugia en Rosellón Fingiendo ser agricultor Murió en 1989 recibe el Premio Nobel en 1969 “ Esperando a Godot” Obra
4. “ Esperando a Godot” Vladimir y Estragón, aguardan a Godot. Están situados en un campo abierto donde no hay nada, excepto un árbol que los cobija. Mientras esperan a Godot, llegan Pozzo y Lucky, el primero el amo y el segundo el esclavo. Bruscamente, sale un muchacho quien les viene a anunciar que Godot no vendrá hoy, sino mañana. La jornada ha pasado y viene el siguiente día con la subsecuente espera. Por la tarde pasa lo mismo: un muchacho que sale de la nada, viene de parte de Godot con el
5. “ Esperando a Godot” encargo de que vendrá hasta mañana. Vladimir y Estragón se desesperan, pero siguen esperando a Godot. Mientras lo hacen, platican con Pozzo. Este se pone a bailar y a pensar a Lucky para divertirlos. Vladimir y Estragón vuelven a quedar solos. Se cuestionan su vida, la espera, su amistad cercana, con diálogos cortos, imprecisos y carentes de mucho significado verbal. Incurren en temas repetitivos: el árbol, los zapatos, la espera, el lugar, la cuerda, Pozzo y Lucky.
6. “ Esperando a Godot” Se les pasa por la mente la idea de suicidarse, pero luego la descartan. Incurren en la idea de irse, para luego arrepentirse porque tienen que esperar a Godot. COMENTARIOS Obra en dos actos cuya metáfora es la espera. Becket es representativo de la época de la post-guerra, por lo cual su temática es una caracterización del vacío, de la esperanza, de la oscuridad, de los valores, del absurdo de la vida, de la quietud y del silencio.
7. “ Esperando a Godot” Es la batalla de la vida frente a la infruc- tuosidad de todo lo vivido en el pasado y en el presente. Una esperanza en el futuro que nunca llega. La memoria se pierde en tanto acontecimiento, dejando el olvido como un arma para aquietar la mente. Se ve la vida como una c ontradicción: por un lado el deseo de vivir y por el otro, la muerte como una esperanza de redención. Obra del teatro absurdo, existencialista, moderno.
8. “ Esperando a Godot” Se suscitan diálogos cortos, con respuestas y contenidos repetitivos. La espera, que constituye el tema principal, aparece incluso al final de la obra: “¿Qué? ¿Nos vamos?” “ Vamos” “(No se mueven)”. El nudo de la obra sigue siendo la espera. Ante la futilidad del tiempo, de los días que transcurren sin mayores cambios: una jornada tras otra experimentada como un vacío sin forma, la espera es su salvación ante la idea del suicidio.
9. “ Esperando a Godot” Los personajes carecen de complejidad. Se nota en ellos la ambivalencia de la desesperanza acompañada de la esperanza. Por un lado, expresan con palabras la necesidad de cambio. “No puedo seguir así” “¿Y si viene?” “ Nos habremos salvado”. Mas que acción es un continuo flujo de palabras que dicen y no dicen nada. Sí nos hablan del aburrimiento, del tedio, de los recuerdos,
10. “ Esperando a Godot” pero generalmente hay una interpelación de los unos con los otros . El contenido y la forma apuntan siempre hacia lo mismo: palabras que expresan descontento, vacío, falta de contenido real y esperanza en la venida de Godot. Hay muy pocos personajes: Estragon, Vladimir, Pozzo, Lucky y un muchacho, siendo los dos primeros
11. “ Esperando a Godot” los principales. Personaje ausente es Godot, quien probablemente está en otro espacio real. Los personajes se vuelven heroicos al aceptar su destino, sin embargo, lo aceptan con un grado superlativo de pasividad, probablemente porque carecen de opciones.
12. ESPERANDO A GODOT Comentario Anónimo: Pienso que la obra (del absurdo) lleva el mensaje que la vida es una constante espera por algo que no llega nunca y puede interpretarse como la salvación en el caso concreto. Los amigos son codependientes y en la espera hacen lo que pueden por entretenerse, pasar el tiempo mientras llega lo que no llega. La obra tiene ciertos principios ¿morales? como la caridad, ayuda al prójimo, etc.
13. ESPERANDO A GODOT Comentario Anónimo: Tal es el aburrimiento de la espera que piensan en el suicidio, pero no pueden hacerlo pues esperan a Godot, quien puede llegar a convertirse, con su no presencia, en su salvación. Luceta: 6 de marzo de 2008.
14. Metacognición 1 ¿Qué aprendí En esta ocasión? 3 ¿Qué no entendí? ¿qué debo hacer para entenderlo? 2 ¿Qué fue lo que más me impactó de “Esperando a Godot”? 4 ¿Qué estamos espe- rando para ser algo en la vida? ¿Qué esperamos de noso- tros mismos?
