    because the reader can let everything sink in. An example of where this has been used effectively is Four Skinny Trees, “They are the only ones who understand me. I am the only one who understands them… Four who do not belong here but are here… Their strength is secret. They send ferocious roots beneath the ground… Four whose only reason is to be and be.” (Page 75) Not only do these sentences cause the reader to think deeper about what she has said, but they also help to convey the more intense…

    bought this place the last time Malcrove and I struck a deal,” Captain Blackblaze drawled pretentiously. “A deadly mistake for Malcrove, not informing you. You are his favorite, aren’t you?” Silver blades twirled easily in her fingers, creating the only distance between them. “In several ways, I suppose.” How he chose to take that statement would be entirely up to him. His chuckle was dark. “You didn’t expressly state it, but the meaning is there, isn’t it? How dirty, lying in bed with the…

    One great example of this is when Benedick first comes back from war and her first remark to him is “I wonder that you will still be talking, Signior Benedick, nobody marks you” (A1; S1; L114-115). This not only shows her hatred toward Benedick in the beginning of the play but also shows that she can have a very wicked tongue and she is not afraid to speak her mind. Telling him that she does not know why he even wastes his breath by talking, nobody respects him so in her mind he should do them…

With that said, it’s impossible not to admire the fan base and longevity that this character has built for itself, stemming back to the 1950s. At the same time, it’s also terribly difficult not to admire the stylistic swagger that the current Bond, Daniel Craig, has brought to the ever-growing…
