In one experiment, 50 human subjects viewed both a Japanese female face and a Caucasian male face on a computer. Research published in Nature (August 27 1998) revealed that people are, in fact, more attracted to “feminized” faces, regardless of gender. Television commercials most often employ females or “feminized” males to pitch a company’s product. ![]()

![]() ![]() Many adaptations also introduce a romantic element which does not exist in the original story. Most omit the figure of Utterson, telling the story from Jekyll's and Hyde's viewpoint and often having them played by the same actor, thus eliminating the mystery aspect of the true identity of Hyde. The work is known for its vivid portrayal of a split personality, and since the 1880s dozens of stage and film adaptations have been produced, although there have been no major adaptations to date that remain faithful to the narrative structure of Stevenson's original. In a twist ending, it is revealed that Jekyll and Hyde were the same person, and that Jekyll had regularly transformed himself into Hyde by drinking a serum.

Flawless character development and a beautiful impossible love had me rooting for Simon and Willow from the moment they met. Poetically told mostly from Willow’s POV it’s a forbidden romance with star-crossed lovers written all over it.

If you are concerned that the world seems to believe democracy = free markets – it is time to read this book.įor two decades it has been abundantly clear that the greatest danger facing the world is the ideology that likes to call itself Economic Rationalism but is better described as Radical Free Market Economics. If you had forgotten just how evil unconstrained capitalism is – it is time to read this book. Klein compares some psychological experiments (torture by any reasonable definition of the word) carried out in the 1950s in Canada (funded by the CIA off US soil so they could plausibly deny they were researching torture) in which patients were blasted back to virtually a blank slate by sensory depravation and electric shock treatment to US foreign policy in countries such as Chile in the 1970s and Iraq today. But I can’t bring myself to say anything remotely funny about this book. I’ve a preference for humour as a means of confronting the deeply disturbing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is a part of me that would like to make this review a bit funny. ![]() ![]() This one has too many flaws-most of them based on the script itself-and GERALDINE McEWAN is only passable as Jane Marple. Hardly the way to start watching Agatha Christie if you're a first time viewer of her works. ![]() Hardly a faithful version of the story (the earlier TV adaptation with Joan Hickson was much better), it expands for the two hour length and tedium sets in long before the inconclusive ending. The story of a young woman having flashbacks to an earlier incident in her life is a perfectly acceptable dramatic device, but the flashbacks add little to the already cluttered nature of the story. ![]() It's a clumsy (awkwardly so) script that roams all over the place instead of telling a coherent story with a beginning, middle and end. The plot of the early 17th century play, The Duchess of Malfi, concerns a woman who is strangled by her brother because of the man she married, exactly Dr. Except for the high standard of acting one usually associates with the British, the handsome landscapes photographed in muted color, and the usual "things aren't what they seem at all" kind of flavor that Christie works over in all of her stories, this SLEEPING MURDER is enough to tranquilize a viewer with its many puzzlements. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Golden’s ( After, 2006, etc.) choice of third-person narration allows a sweeping view of the family’s dilemma but perhaps one with less intensity than if the story had been all Diane’s. Diane strives to widen the boundaries of her love and understanding. ![]() Eventually events compel Diane to put 68-year-old Gregory in an assisted living home, but she aches when he forges stronger bonds with a resident there than with her. Along with Diane, Gregory's grown children, Lauren and Sean, struggle to forge a new relationship with him in a constantly changing dance of love and loss-and at times fear, resentment, anger, and even violence. Once the diagnosis is confirmed and gradually made public, Gregory’s family, friends, and co-workers support him in their individual ways. He fears his symptoms and only visits a doctor when they become too hard to hide. The problem begins when Gregory, an African-American architect who owns a firm in Washington, D.C., with a longtime friend, forgets meetings and gets lost in the city. After all, who are we if we forget.and who are we if we are forgotten?ĭiane Tate watches her husband, Gregory, fade as Alzheimer’s robs him of his memory, abilities, and eventually even the essence of who he once was.

Like Dwan, many believe Beckett’s exactness is part of his genius, with his stage directions akin to a musical score. “It’s not as if they can go back and check with the author.” Beckett’s behaviour was changeable, and he’d often alter his work. “One of the responsibilities of any estate is they must remain frozen in time,” said Lisa Dwan, the Top Boy actor best known for her rendition of Beckett’s Not I. ![]() “The irony of waiting for Waiting for Godot is not lost on me,” said Wakely drily. With an increasingly fluid understanding of gender today, the Beckett estate’s restrictions seem ever more archaic. The copyright for a play runs out 70 years after the playwright’s death, meaning women and non-binary performers legally have to wait until the end of 2059 to be able to play Vladimir and Estragon. “The more we read about the history, the more we realised we’d just get a big fat no,” said Jack Wakely, a non-binary member of the clown theatre company Silent Faces, who wanted to perform Godot. ![]() ![]() ![]() To download a plain text version of this book click here.Ĭlassical Library, This HTML edition copyright © 2001. ![]() Taken as a whole, they serve to impart a way of living that has influenced Chinese society for centuries, and their influence continues today in both the East and the West.
