Paper Topic on Twelfth Night.

“If music be the food of love, play on, / Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, / The appetite may sicken, and so die” (1.1.1-3).

Duke Orsino utters these lines to open the play, and despite being about love (the central concern of TN), they are constructed to make love sound as if it is something he wants to get over (“die”), which seems rather strange for a lover. Likewise, near the end of Act 1, Olivia utters metaphorical lines about love as bubonic plague, which also seems strange. Are these upper-class characters attuned to feelings of genuine love, or does the strangeness of their expressions sound similar to infatuation? Do you wonder if either has actually been in love?

In how many different ways does Shakespeare treat the theme of love in TN? There is the obviously confused love triangle of Duke, Olivia, and Viola/Cesario, but also note that Antonio may love Sebastian romantically, and even the sub-plot world is connected to the theme. Sir Andrew is there to woo Olivia, but Toby draws him into constant drinking. Malvolio “loves” Olivia, but it’s hard to determine if his sour personality is even capable of romantic love. When Maria sets up Malvolio in 2.5, Toby comments in the aftermath, “I could marry this wench for this device” (183). In fact, the only main character personally untouched by the love bug is Feste, yet even he sings about love, and Andrew says he sent him “sixpence for thy leman” (meaning lover, sweetheart, or mistress). Choose as many different aspects of the love theme as you like and write an essay in which you determine Shakespeare’s attitude(s) to love.

Write a paper, addressing the following prompt:

Analyze how the visual and/or aural elements of the filmmaking [mise-en-scene, lighting, diegetic and non-diegetic sound, camera angles and focus, editing] contribute to the film’s intention and effect.

Here is the list of films you may write about: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Do the Right Thing, The Silence of the Lambs, Get Out, and The Florida Project.

Some questions you might want to ask (and answer):

How does the use of lighting and/or color establish tone? Is the film monotonic (i.e. one tone throughout), or do the lighting and color palette shift the tone between scenes/acts/locations?
How do elements of the mise-en-scene contribute to our understanding of the characters, milieu, or narrative?
What point(s)-of-view does the use of framing, camera angles, and/or camera movements establish? Does the point of view shift from scene to scene (or within scenes)? What, if any, function does the camera’s POV play in characterization and narrative?
What thematic or narrative functions do the film’s editing techniques serve (e.g. noteworthy match cuts, L- or J-cuts)?
What major motifs can you find in the film? What is their significance to the film’s themes and/or to the characters and the narrative?
Are any of the elements characteristic (or uncharacteristic) of the film’s genre? Are there any signature marks of the filmmaker’s (director, cinematographer, or screenwriter) personal artistic style?
