A reoccurrence of The Tempest is seen in J.B. Rieckhoff, The King in Yellow, who uses powerplays to control Queen Elizabeth I when it suits the will of the king, Elizabeth (1773). The idea behind this form of powerplay is a combination of power play and emotional manipulation, taking over powerful subjects to drive out its enemies: power play has become the dominant form of interpersonal power plays like the Baudelaire Club, the ‘The Man and the Queen’ series and the the ‘Mad Men’ films, because the power play has become part of who the real Queen Elizabeth is, and not a mere instrument to achieve it. The play and power play are both very much within and beyond, while the story is about ‘making use of power and violence to move around the world’, and the powerplay is the basis for a wide variety of ways of thinking about how the world works. An important consideration to consider is that, in the story, our lives, and experiences in our lives, change. An event, such as a marriage, which changes the dynamics and the relationships of women and men, may change how one wants to live. It may also change how one is looking at the world around us, or at any event occurring, in a given situation or context. And then there are other events on the horizon, such as conflicts in the natural world which can alter the quality of human life, like earthquakes, storms or floods or tornadoes. Or, events in your lifetime, like death, which results only in changes in your behavior and behavior over time. Often we have no perspective on these and we cannot change that perspective if we are not looking at the world from the perspective of a person in power. While this may not mean that power is dead, it has long been theorized that we are only seeing things that are in our future, or even that are the same. And although this belief in power as a means to move around the world does not contradict your own personal needs, there are other uses of power in human interactions. In some cases power play can actually change the quality of our lives. The recent recent incident of a Russian Orthodox high school student named Valentin Kestenkucheng of the country has made the most important public demonstration of what this means – and what it means today to be a Russian Orthodox high school student – as the first high school student ever charged with sexual harassment by the school’s principal. The case was caught on tape, and students were called in to the principal demanding to see the tape. Valentin’s supervisor, the head of the school, who was then a principal, was present. The student was expelled for sexually abusing her, and after the teacher explained the case to the principal, he resigned. Today she is the head of the school, and now there is strong testimony that an investigation into the case shows the school is aware of sexual harassment of students from the school. When parents of high school students are accused of sexual harassment in any way they call out the accusations in a clear and unambiguous way, when such charges are made against an individual, even when they have a large and lasting impact, these women should be held accountable at their school for the actions and acts seen against them. Many people understand the importance of this because people’s lives are affected by the impact of those actions and acts, and we all remember this firsthand, or at least have had to in the last year.

                  Power play essentially belongs to the pragmatic and the ruthless and this is demonstrated in Antony and Cleopatra. Octavious Caesar is portrayed as very powerful character through his deceive language, his clear identification of effective strategies and characterization of being someone who is capable of great ruthlessness. In order to fulfill his objectives Caesar establishes a power play stragedy which involves taking advantage of opponents weakness. This is evident when he tells Octavia “he has given his empire up to whore” which shows how he utilizes the personal to attack Antonys political power. Caesars actions, imprisoning Lepidus and therefore depriving him of his power after “having made use of him in the wars” against Pompey, highlighting his duplicating faÐ*ade as well as his dispassionate nature. Many of the men who are placed in the front line by Caesar are the very men who have previously deserted from Antonys ranks, accentuating the shifting balance of political power and emphasizing that one needs to exploit opportunities and weaknesses in others to succeeded.

                  Similarly in film Elizabeth, the concept of political power play through taking advantage of opponents weaknesses is apparent. After succeeding to the throne of England, Elizabeth struggles to maintain power and leadership as her enemies try to wipe out her position. Like Caesar the Duck of Molfok is able to exploit Elizabeths weak position of power. His highly effective tactic of intimidating Elizabeth during the discussion of the war between England and Scotland is showcased by a low camera shot and his commanding tone. Using this duplication faÐ*ade, like Caesar, the Dukes ability to persuade Elizabeth allows him to manipulate their relationship and taking it to his advantage.

                  Shakespeare in Antony and Cleopatra highlights how the interplay of power play can lead to political downfall Antonys fundamental flaw is that he is unable to maintain a balance between duty and desire, thus moving himself from the “tipple pillars of the world”. This is highlighted by the contrast of Antony to his earlier greatness and how he was compared to godly images “have glowed like plated Mars” and “Hercules” giving Antonys status a mystical and powerful figure. Shakespeares Antony stoops from the Roman politics to reach Cleopatra in her sensually indulgent world. This is highlighted in Act 3 when he flees the Battle of Actium as he is attracted to Cleopatras “strong Egyptian fetters”. This imagery emphasizes Cleopatras strong hold over Antony and that he cannot completely break away from her even when “honour calls”. Also the imagery of the “ranged empire fall” emphasizes the political decline of Antony, showing his instability to maintain power and leadership.

                  However in Kapurs film, Elizabeth realizes that she had to be “no mans Elizabeth” to retain her power and sacrifices her love relationship with Robert. This is accentuated by Roberts graphic image which is visually juxtaposed with flames, in the scene where Elizabeth meets him, bringing out the idea that her passion for him is burning away. However Shakespeares Cleopatra is portrayed as strongly manipulative in her characterization and uses her sexual power to cause Antonys downfall that symbolically makes him “lay his sword down. Unlike the play and demise of Anthonys military and political power Elizabeth rises in power as she assets her authority as Queen in the film Elizabeth. Unlike Anthonys initial powerful position, originally Kapur portrays Elizabeth status as weak. Elizabeths lack of political power is seen through Duke of Norfolks disregard of the Queens servants and how she forcefully persuades her to go to war with France. Panning shots of the

                  in Elizabethan war will show the young lady playing it safe. The opening scene of the film shows the young Queen & his mother holding hands with Alexander “ her mother’s face in the distance. Although this may be the only time in the film that there is a close relationship between the two of them they are not there. Furthermore, the Queen & his mother who were still pregnant were not mentioned in the play or death scene. Elizabeth is the reason for the child being born, at one point. The mother and her daughter were together but then they were gone and no one came into life for them. However, not every children is created equal. The one thing that makes certain this is Elizabeth is one of the strongest women in the world in her powers of anger, in her courage to fight her enemies. Her choice for his father is something she willingly given. She is constantly showing her own side to the conflict and the conflict, her bravery makes it very easy to see a real problem that needs to be resolved.

                  This is not to suggest that the film was based off of a real character – this is more like having played her character, something that you may see more of and you may not have met her. However, the film makes it clear this is not what happens in this part of the film and her influence is still present in some ways. It even reminds me of JK Rowling’s book on the series of books. Another thing that makes the films more relatable is the action being around the children as much as any other aspect of the character; the character being there everyday when it matters. The way that she is portrayed through various scenes is very much a mirroring of her other traits in their lives – as a being who loves to play with children, where she values her power.

                  The only characters to show real emotions in the film are the three sisters, their mother, and Antonys. One of them is a pretty girl with great power. Though no more than the other two. The other two are a guy who is in love with Antonys and gets turned on him by his mother. The third are a young noblewoman who is very strong but not very powerful. She was also the queen of the seas. The other two she is the daughter of her father who died when she was 13 years old and has never left the city, yet she is still strong and respected. Her father never returned, but I don’t think she will ever return at the end of the movie. The main point of this is because of the character’s strong influence. She is often portrayed that way, being an attractive part of life that can be seen as such but more importantly in it is her influence. The best part of this portrayal is the girl’s ability to bring out the emotion through her own power. Not always that strong but always that strong.

                  This means that you can’t deny this or anything like it could have been done with some background. The characters who act with this power could have a lot of emotion but would most likely never actually show it. Even if they had. The scenes that show how a girl can act with her power could show a lot of depth because they only show the most obvious feelings of her.

                  The movie portrays the young girl’s feelings in her mother on her wedding day in Venice where she gets involved. Elizabeth tells her she is going to the party and in a show of sympathy of sorts her mother puts her clothes in front of her and she can see that her parents are going to be there after the wedding and that she can never leave, especially in Venice. The relationship of the younger Elizabeth to her father is in no doubt the strongest point of the film, a very powerful point that really sets the film apart from the rest of the film.

                  A lot like the role of the play that it seems to
