By: Dennis Alexander Goebels

Both belong to his late plays and apart from that bear a lot of similarities. The focus of this paper will be to analyze The Iceman Cometh and Long Day’s Journey into Night with special regard to the importance of illusion and reality for both the characters and the progress of the play. Furthermore a comparison will be made between Hickey in The Iceman Cometh and Mary Cavan Tyrone in Long Day’s Journey into Night in order to show that they have similar functions in their respective plays.

The depiction of beauty ideals and beauty standards in Robert Iscove's "She's all that"

By: Dennis Alexander Goebels

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, Ruhr-University of Bochum (Englisches Seminar), course: Skin Deep - Beauty, Bodies and Business, WS 2005/2006, language: English, abstract: In Robert Iscove’s "She’s all that" beauty ideals and beauty standards play a major role and the submission of Laney to these standards and ideals is the reason why Zack falls in love with her. That is why I am going to argue that in Robert Iscove’s movie ideals of white, middle-class, male society are taken as a basis to prove that submission to these standards is the only way for women to be accepted by men.
