The composers of texts, Julius Caesar and the Pianist, use acts of performance to construct credible points of view that are transmitted to the audience during a certain event displayed in the texts . This is seen in the text of Julius Caesar, through the depiction of events such as Calpurnia's Oration and Dream. This notion is made evident to the Elizabethan audience in the process of representation and these devices are used to show viewpoints based primarily on actions versus intentions and the nature of manipulation. The composer of Pianist appeals to the appropriate audience using several personalized acts of performance to instill a point of view about the context and bring out perspectives on fate and free will. Shakespeare deliberately develops reliable perspectives using numerous acts of performance, spreading his message to Elizabethan audiences. The text was intentionally produced as a play to relate to the Elizabethan audience and context, and therefore evoke other responses to the text. In the play, he specifically uses the oration scenes and Calpurnia's dream based on context, audience, and characterization, which exploit the nature of manipulation and actions versus intentions. In the Oration scene, the application of rhetoric was common, as demonstrated by the crowd's response to the speeches of Antony and Brutus. However, in Brutus' speech, logos was primarily used to explore the key view of action versus intention. This is shown by Brutus' declaration to the plebeians: "Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more." Would you rather that Caesar were alive and all slaves died, than that Caesar were dead and all men lived free? As Caesar loved me, I cry for him, as he was in the middle of a paper....... This directly creates the imagery of destiny in the minds of the audience. Polanski successfully uses visual and aural cinematic devices to convey his message to modern audiences in the scene where Szpilman is discovered by German officer Hozenfield, who asks him to play the piano. The use of silence and wide angle shots reveal elements of fate and the tension creates the question of whether Szpilman has free will or whether his fate is dominant. During the scene, while Szpilman plays the piano, he is covered with a veil of light coming from the window, which symbolizes the possibility of domination of fate in such an event where his life is at stake.
