Blank verse

Christopher Marlowe was born into the same social class as Shakespeare. His father was a cobbler, Shakespeare's a glove-maker. Marlowe was the older by only two months, but spent six and a half years at Cambridge University. He pioneered the use of blank verse in Elizabethan drama, and his works are widely accepted as having greatly influenced those of Shakespeare. The Marlovian theory argues that Marlowe's documented death was faked. Thomas Walsingham and others are supposed to have arranged…

Christopher Marlowe is most notably known for his creation of the blank verse poem, more commonly known as the unrhymed iambic pentameter poem. One of his first and famous poetry writings, Our Conquering Swords, is an interlude filled with patriotism, courage, and bravery as it discusses the actions of a war that was even far greater than that of the Pharsalia War, which happens to be the greatest civil war between Julius Caesar and the Roman Senate led by Pompey the Great. Marlowe’s use of…

cards, breaking up course study, and sleep were very important. Two new points that I found helpful were using analogies to help recall the information and posting pictures in your workspace to keep an open mind. I love crafting, so the idea of a verse or quote on my desk is a great idea to lighten my mood. I also remember facts and information better if I have something to help make it catchy, so an analogy might help me do…

Shakespeare wrote poems that were often about time, dualities, beauty, love, the morality of men, and the present rather than the future. These thoughts were composed into sonnets, pillions, and country-house poems. Poems were written in rhyme or blank verse. The sonnet was a very popular type of poem during the Renaissance. The themes of these sonnets were typically beauty or love. Sonnets follow a very specific format which includes a certain rhyme scheme, and a technique called iambic…

escape, the evil has already surrounded him. The forest’s power intensifies as he delves deeper into the forest. The Author names his main character Young Goodman Brown to represent all people. You don’t think of much when you hear this name, he is a blank face. Goodman Brown’s name in itself is a symbol for this story. “Young” is a bit of a generic, causing the reader to think “I’m Young” and thereby connecting with the story further. Goodman means he is just ordinary “Goodman” there is…

Equation 7 was used to find the concentration, Equation 2 was used to find the absorbance value of the standard and unknown solutions while equation 3 was used to find the absorbance of the made solutions. When comparing the absorbance of the made verses the standard solutions, the values looked very similar. However, after using Equation 6 to find percent error of the concentration and absorbance, it was clear that there was a large amount of error in the experiment. The 0.500M and 0.050M…

Oppression is when a group of people are being subjected to unjust and cruel treatment. Both the poems The Cry of the Children by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Oppression by Langston Hughes involve oppression. Both poems express this topic in different ways. Elizabeth does it by emphasizing the appalling working conditions forced upon the children of that time. Langston Hughes expresses oppression by revealing what occurs during the oppression of a group of people and to not give up hope.…

The death of Julius Caesar in “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare caused a fight for support. The conspirators and their leader Brutus, needed support from the public saying that killing Caesar was a necessary sacrifice. Caesar's best friend Antony needed support from the people saying Caesar’s death was an assassination. Brutus and Antony both gave speeches to the people to try and persuade them to join their side. Their orations were both from different perspectives, but they…

A major intertextual link can be found to one of Shakespeare’s tragedies, Romeo and Juliet. The plays have many points of likeness, including themes, characters and context. In both plays gender roles affect characterisation. There are many similarities in terms of Hermia and Juliet. For one, they are young lovers of the same status in terms of the social hierarchy, who, due to circumstance, are not allowed to marry who they wish. Both plays were made in the Elizabethan era and the context of…
