In the Mood for Love

I chose Gold Dust by Banners because I felt that the mood of the poem had a literary crescendo. First it starts off with suggestions and theories but by the last stanza, the song offers hope and resolution. I paired Suggestion with Gold Dust because the song starts off slow and timid but progressively gets louder and heavier on the listener. In addition, the lyrics of Gold Dust are relatively similar to the poem Suggestion. The lyrics from the beginning of the song are suggestive and questioning…

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”, is about a man, who is mourning the death of his love, Lenore. Based on context words, the main character is a chaotic man. The character heard a mysterious tapping sound, he checked the door of his chamber, nothing there. Then, the man checked the window to decipher this mysterious noise, when in flew a raven and perched itself atop of the bust of Pallas. The raven simply stated one simple word, nevermore. The character began getting angry with the ebony bird,…

In the graphic novel version of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Jane learns who she is through a series of macabre…

A character without mood is a play without plot twists. Setting defines the mood of a character by providing new scenarios that only a change of setting could provide. Feelings, thoughts and ideas are produced through setting changes. The use of setting in the plays As You Like It by William Shakespeare and A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen portrays how characters respond to central ideas and controversies regarding the concept of love. Rosalind's relationship with Orlando faces substantial changes…

the mood can become disconnected at the end, or it just does not fit the plot of the story. This may be true about Great Expectations, written by Charles Dickens. At first, the original ending had Estella with a doctor while Pip remained single. A revised ending was written after the author’s friend conversed to him about it. It ended with the foreshadowing of a marriage between Estella and Pip, the happy conclusion. The original ending is better because it follows the depressed mood that…

Hemingway developes this story by how he experiences WW1, by using biographical strategy, to enhance the setting: places, times, and moods to explain Hemingway uses setting with time, place, and mood to give details about what is was like to be in certain areas in WW1 and how it feels like to return home from war. From a biographical strategy view you can tell Hemingway relates his personal experience from…

literary elements (irony, tone, mood) to develop two or more themes in the text. Use evidence from the text to support your explanation. Has your heart ever been broken? In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, how could Hamlet be so cruel to Ophelia? Ophelia told Laertes that Hamlet was touching her waist and kissing her. Later on Hamlet told Ophelia that he no longer loved her. Throughout the play Shakespeare uses irony, mood, and tone to develop the themes of unrequited love and betrayal. In Act 3 scene…
