Lark

characterization is more convincing because he provides a plethora of specific details about his relationship while Alte’s characterization is implied more from his own emotions than the lady. Ventadorn originally adored women. In his poem, “When I see the lark,” he mentioned that he loved, protected, and trusted this one special lady (Ventadorn lines 11-12 and 26-27). Unfortunately for him, in stanzas 2-8 it became obvious that she did not love him back and that his efforts fell short of her…

In A Midsummer Night's Dream Egeus, father of Hermia, believes that he controls the feelings or love of…

since I was six years old had taken on a much deeper significance. When I performed my first Nutcracker, I remembered watching from the wings as the beautiful ballerinas with their perfect technique flew across the stage like masses of pastel colored larks. I remembered how calm I felt, and how I hadn’t felt that calm in a long while. And so, every night when the shackles on my insides starting tightening, and the precarious threads holding me together threatened to fray, I played this song, and…

demonstrates a lack of personal responsibility because she does for a majority of the play view herself in this way and a misevaluation of her actions versus her parent’s actions by others. Most of the characters see Nora as being a naive, “sweet little lark”, but those who understand her can see her for what she truly is (16).

My dearest family, Shall I not return, I would like you to have my last words, my last thoughts, and to know what it is really like here. The press seems to glorify things, to inspire men I presume. Our unit arrived to the front 5 weeks ago, yet life is already a living hell. When we arrived, it was pouring rain, and the men and I were knee deep in a brown pool of water, muck and other things I care not to think of. The air reeks of decay and waste, corpses are everywhere; of men, cows, and…

Torvald. On the surface, it may seem that the ending and the play itself is a condemnation of marriage overall. After all, Nora realizes that she has been Torvald’s “doll-wife”, and Torvald treats her in a completely patronizing way, calling her his “sky-lark”, and saying that her helplessness makes him attractive to her (Ibsen, 1599). However, the play is not a condemnation of the entire institution of marriage itself. Rather, it is meant to show how the particular idea that Victorians had of…
