Quotes: 1. (Gulliver speaking about his own life before his adventures) “I was the Third of five Sons. I was bound Apprentice to Mr. James Bates, an eminent Surgeon in London. My Father now and then sending me small Sums of Money.” This quote relates to my first question because I think Gulliver’s upbringing has a lot to do with his temperament.…
Lady Capulet is highly ranked and the mother of Juliet. Lady Capulet has followed her 16th century “society rule” for her family by marrying Capulet. She is very prim and proper and obeys to every word her husband Capulet says even if it seems rude and unfair to her daughter. She tries to make Juliet into a proper young lady to a proper wife who she hopes her love to be for Count Paris one day. Lady Capulet is strained against her own freedom from her husband Capulet, the palace walls, and to keep her class.…
The mournful pun Romeo uses at the party conveys the message of how caught up he is with Rosaline as it is like a black cloud over his head not allowing him to do anything else. Romeo remourses to Mercutio: “You have dancing shoes / With nimble soles. I have a soul of lead / so stakes me to the ground I cannot move,” (1.4 ll 14-16). This FIDDS shapes the morale of the inner conflict Romeo has within himself. It illustrates how even though he wants to move on to better things, he is still held up with the thoughts of Rosaline, unable to think about anything else.…
“He set an old army knapsack in the snow and held his bare bloody hands in front of him, and though they were cold, they weren’t impossibly cold” (Cornwell 11). This quote opens up the book with a jolt because the quote explains that the he in the quote was Temple Gault, a murderer. Temple Gault had just finished murdering his victim as the story began. The quote also explains the main theme of From Potter’s Field, which is a murder case. The book takes place in New York City as Temple Gault has just murdered his last victim.…
"Slow and steady wins the race" Haste is described perfectly with that one quote. So many people don't reflect on their poorly thought out decisions, end up leading them to the consequences of their actions. In William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" Juliet as a 13 year old in the play shows that no matter what century you are born kids are kids and she childly goes through life experience and react with dramatic haste, failing to realize the possible risks and consequences, her actions revealed later.…
Quotation 7: “We will have vengeance for it, fear thou not./ Then weep no more. I'll send to one in Mantua,/ Where that same banished runagate doth live,/ Shall give him such an unaccustomed dram/ That he shall soon keep Tybalt company./ And then, I hope, thou wilt be satisfied.” (Rom. 3.…
Shakespeare shows how Romeo is an impetuous character through the many hasty decisions he makes. For example; when he is pouting over not being able to have a certain girl, his love is “soon forsaken” when he quickly finds another one (II.iii.67). This impatient behavior is seen frequently throughout the play. Upon seeing Juliet at the dance he is entranced by her “beauty too rich for use” so he pursues her right away. He even goes as far to say “I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (I.v.45-51).…
Mandela might be rebellious but at the same time he proves to be a chivalrous man. Glory and Hope states “Your majesties, your royal highnesses, distinguished guests, comrades and friends: today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and hope to our newborn liberty” (pg. 1105). This piece of evidence is showing Mandela celebrating for a newborn country while also being a gentleman…
The first lesson we can learn is from Julius Caesar himself. We can learn not to be so prideful in ourselves. Pride and e a scary thing in a person, especially if you have too much of it. The second lesson is from Brutus and Decimus, they betrayed their best friend for the Republic, which eventually failed anyway. Never stab your best friend in the back, it will eventually get you back.…
So Hamlet's pretty vicious to the women in this play. He orders Ophelia for instance to "get thee to a nunnery" and he tells his mother Gertrude, "frailty, thy name is woman" even though Hamlet isn't terribly robust, as you may have noticed. Now there's been some backlash to us discussing gender dynamics in literature, but this is a really important contemporary approach to the study of literature. It's not the only one, it's not the only one that we do here, but it is one that matters.…
1. In what way or ways does Hamlet, in the course of the play, let the audience know his attitude to Polonius? Throughout Hamlet’s interaction with Polonius, audience can observe the lack of respect Hamlet carries towards him. Hamlet subtly expresses his anger with word choices that contain double meaning.…
Although Gertrude is treated unworthy she however is not the last. Polonius is ophelia’s farther .He treats her more like his property and expects her too exactly as he says. This is especially evident when comparing Ophelia’s life to Laertes ,he is left alone to do as he pleases for much of the play.…
“But make sure you don’t directly ask people about what my son is doing. If they think they brought it up people are more likely to give you more the good stuff. By that I mean honest information.” Polonius said plucking a grape from the plate beside him. “Talk to the people as if you are talking about a family friend that someone mentioned to you before you went on your trip.…
In William Shakespeare’s well known play Hamlet , there are several acts of violence that often keep the readers on their toes constantly wondering what will happen next. It all begins with the death of King Hamlet and comes to an end with no royal family in control of the castle, Elsinore, in Denmark. Each character has their own unique motive for self gain throughout the play, but Hamlet has a strong drive for the dangerous game of revenge. Hamlet wants to earn justice for his father who had his kingdom, wife, and crown all stolen out from underneath him when his life is innocently taken by his greedy uncle. “To be or not to be?” is the question…
The character Polonius is viewed as a clumsy, old man and a concerned father, but that is determined to not be reality. He is viewed as an old man, because he often forgets what he is saying. Many people question if he is really concerned about his children our if he is just using them for his personal gain. Claudius displays an appearance of a competent ruler that is later proven to not be reality. He does display characteristics of a competent ruler, but it is later proven that he was pretending to be saddened by his brother’s death just so he could receive his brother’s wife and…
