The structure of the play and characters are designed to reveal Solyman's honorable character. In the introduction, the author reviews the critical history of The Siege of Rhodes (1661). The section "The Siege" is concerned with the Sultan's attitude to war and his behavior towards his foes, which is marked by ambition and valor. In the section "Victory", the author traces Solyman's generosity and mercy towards the defeated Rhodians. Ianthe and Alphonso dominate the "Characters" sections, which reveal how both characters play a central role in stressing Solyman's honorable conduct in war and peace. The dramatic centre of the play, as highlighted by the author, is Solyman's honorable character. With such dramatization Davenant departs from the conventional presentation of Turks as moral and political transgressors.展开更多

The third day of the festival, or the 13th day of the first lunar month, is the most formal part of this fair, hence the name of the "Baofeng 13 Storytelling Fair at Majie." On this day, more than 1,000 Chinese folk artists gather here from all parts of the country. They put up simple stages or booths on the river banks, on mounds or in wheat fields in an area of about two square kilometers. Alone or in pairs, in threes or fives, facing each other or back to back, they tell story after story to the accompaniment of their traditional instruments: suona (a展开更多
