Abstract
This paper will argue that the depiction of Eleanor of Aquitaine (as played by Katharine Hepburn) in "The Lion in Winter" is of a much more assertive figure than the Queen Victoria (as played by Judi Dench) of "Mrs. Brown". The latter queen, for all her power, is characterized as a repressed emotional woman, while Eleanor is defined by her unconventional social and political assertiveness.

Abstract

The paper begins with her as a girl, born into Dutch Royalty, she suffered from hunger and poverty in Nazi occupied Holland. The paper provides chronological summaries of her role in all her films and plays, which provides the reader with a great sense of her enormous contribution to popular culture. It includes details of her personal life and her work as a special Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).

From the Paper
"Gigi was Audrey's ticket to America. At the show's premiere in New York, Audrey was surprisingly visited by James Hanson, who had come to formalize their engagement (Paris 74). The run of Gigi was over by the spring of 1952. However, Audrey's career was about to take an even greater step forward. Paramount Pictures was searching for a young girl to play the role of Princess Anne in Willy Wyler's Roman Holiday (1953). Audrey was about to costar with Gregory Peck in her first American film. However, the film had forced her to postpone her wedding date. In fact, as soon as she got the part, the studios had advised her not to get married in the belief that millions of lovestruck fans would be disappointed (Paris 80). Audrey was soon convinced that she was not ready to be married, and she broke off her engagement to James Hanson."

From the Paper
"At first, the roommate thought that Katherine was simply suffering the symptoms of a typical heartbreak. However, then Katherine began to grow agitated. She wrote long letters to her former boyfriend and his new girlfriend, accusing them of betraying her. She also said her professors were 'out to get her' and did not understand her ideas. Katherine had increasing trouble settling to do her work, even though she took piles of books from the library. She often spent the nights going to parties, although she said she was worried about failing."

Abstract
This paper examines the character of Katherine; discussing the various techniques used by Shakespeare to establish the theme of the play "Taming the Shrew". It also answers the question whether Katherine was tamed eventually or not.

From the Paper
"Taming The Shrew by William Shakespeare is a comedy play tactfully and purposely divided into five entertaining acts (Plot Structure). The induction highlights the possible reasons for the play's existence followed by an introduction all the characters playing a vital role in developing the theme of the play and the development of the gist of the story, in the first act (Plot Structure). The taming (the main purpose of the play) of the female lead begins in the Act II and III with Katherine getting married to Petruchio. The climactic act is the act IV when the aim of cultivating and changing Kate to a productive human being is accomplished (Plot Structure). The final Act V establishes the connection and creates harmony between all the characters of the play and brings forward the implied meaning of Katherine's portrayal (Plot Structure) as a shrew."

Abstract
By examining and analyzing several of Katherine Philips's poems, the author of this paper shows how Philips' poetry was most notable for its creative construction of gender and female sexuality, but surmises that the vision was secretly expressed inside the conventional language of female friendship.

From the Paper
"This is a point in Philips' poetry where she moves into the more conventional realm of Platonic love a safe and respectable realm in the 17th century but also a point at which she begins to manipulate her audiences' ideas of what that realm really is. For example, Philips implies that ascending towards Platonic love (i.e., spiritual or ideal love) allows friends or lovers to imagine an alternative reality for themselves, different from the one in which they now find themselves. This realm would give the two women the freedom to live out their "Fate" (l.7). In fact, in Philips' poem "To my Excellent Lucasia," she writes that her connection to Lucasia is "As innocent as our Design, / Immortal as our Soul" (ll.23-4)."

Abstract
This essay explores and evaluates Katherine Mansfield's literary style with reference to her short story Bliss. It discusses the ways in which Bliss demonstrates her desire to break with the past and experiment with new methods of writing. The paper evaluates the story as an example of Modernist literature and reviews Mansfield's importance in the Modernist movement. The paper also provides a detailed analysis of Mansfield's original and distinctive delivery of the short story.

From the Paper
"An important figure in the modernist movement, Katherine Mansfield was a highly experiential writer who sought to find new ways of representing the world. The beginning of the twentieth century was a time of terrific change due to technological advances, scientific theories and capitalism. The First World War compounded this disturbance and literally shattered the universal values which held society together. Society was left fragmented and disillusioned and the Modernists felt that the traditional mode of representing the world in literature, specifically realism, was outdated and no longer appropriate. Mansfield's short story Bliss, 1918, demonstrates the desire to break with the past and experiment with new methods of writing which would express this transformed society more aptly."

Abstract
This paper considers a definition of comedy derived from the Poetics of Aristotle. It then considers two classic comedy films, "Sherlock, Jr." by Buster Keaton and "Bringing Up Baby," staring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, and finds that these films correlate to a high degree to the Aristotelian definition. In both films, "inferior persons" perform ridiculous acts.

From the Paper
"While 'comedy' has generally been so wide-ranging as to be beyond an accepted definition, Aristotle suggested that comedy contained certain elements. According to Aristotle, comedy imitates 'the action of men worse than ourselves,' showing such people engaged in 'the ridiculous, which is a species of the ugly.'(Aristotle, Poetics, 1449a32-34: Masahiro Kitano) However, this ridiculousness is 'not painful or destructive.' (Aristotle, Poetics, 1449a34-35) A comic plot needs enough range "to allow the hero to pass through a series of probable or necessary stages from bad fortune to..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 1994 film version of "Little Women" and compares it to the 1933 film version. The paper tries to determine how just a representation of the book each film is and in what way each version is characteristic of the period in which it was made.

From the Paper
"'Little women' was written by Louisa May Alcott in 1868 and since then it has been one of the most talked and written about books. With readers obsessing over the novel for more than a century, the book has been adapted to cinema four times with the most last version coming out in 1994. The book and its cinematic versions revolve around four young sisters who grow up during chaotic times of Civil War. The most well known cinematic adaptation of the novel came out in 1933 with Katherine Hepburn in the lead as JO March. This version was universally accepted for being most faithful to the book. Subsequent versions of Little Women were not as powerful as this one yet they have their fair share of merits. In this paper, we shall discuss the 1994 version and compare it to the 1933 version of 'Little women'."
