There have been plays by Shakespeare that have been modernized and are often compared to movies like She’s the Man. She’s the Man is an adaptation of the play Twelfth Knight.

Twelfth Night was a play that was written by William Shakespeare around 1601-02. There are similarities in She’s the man and Twelfth Knight. One of the similarities
In the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot, Prufrock's insecurity and apprehension about everything causes his negativity, revealing that a person's inaction can negatively impact his/her life.

While all of the men are investigating the cold blooded murder of Mr. Wright, the women are gathering things to take to Mrs. Wright as she sits in jail and awaits her fate. The men degrade the women throughout the play by telling them that they are only accustomed to being concerned about “trifles”. Even though the men are making fun of the women, they fail to realize that the women are outsmarting them at their own game. It is later revealed
The Seven Deadly Sins in Literature The seven deadly sins of the Catholic Church are very apparent in literature, such as Hamlet, Dante’s Inferno, Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby, House of Cards, and Oblomov. Characters from these books show these traits often, and sometimes more than one at a time.

She comes from
that traditions frequently practiced may not always be appropriate. Even though the lottery is commonly practiced in the wretched village, in the text other villages have eliminated the wicked practice. In the world of “The Lottery” a multitude of hamlets have done away with the practice. Most villages end up just fine as well.
