brave. That's the thing about children, but so many people die and on the field of battle you see the blood and bodies.They don't know anything about those things. War is despicable, at least in my opinion… Oh, I almost forgot. I need to go to the apothecary* today.

The apothecary believes that the young man really does need to kill some rats, however the young man knows he will be killing his so-called friends. Chaucer’s use of verbal irony helps prove not…

Two tales stand out above the rest, the stories of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and Pyramus and Thisbe by Ovid are excessively akin, by the thought that their love was doomed by fate from the start. Nevertheless the stories have vast differences, such as the details about the length of time that the young, naive couples knew each other. Both young…

Finally, after being pressed about it multiple times and being convinced with Romeo’s money, the apothecary states that “My poverty, but not my will, consents.” (Act 5 Scene 1) Because of how bad of a situation the apothecary was in, he made the decision to give Romeo the poison even though both of them knew that what they were…
