Document Summary
Throughout the shakespearean play macbeth and the twentieth century novel, the. Wave, there are obvious differences but on a more in depth look, the similarities become clearer and the loss of control more defined. The use of characterisation and allusion in the wave and dramatic irony and symbolism in macbeth, are used to convey and emphasise the loss of control in these two texts. Characterisation plays a key role in both the wave and macbeth, in relation to the notion of losing control. The wave by morton rhue shows characterisation through the use of stereotypical. An example of a stereotype in the wave is the main character, Laurie saunders, as the classical most popular and pretty girl in the school with the school"s handsome and athletic football captain as her boyfriend (david collins). She is also intelligent and editor of the school newspaper. There are also characters such as the school loser (robert billings), the bully and so on.
