8. "Mercedes was left alone. Bathed in tears, she was seen ceaselessly wandering around the little village of the Catalans, sometimes standing motionless in the blazing heat of the southern sun, sometimes sitting on the beach listening to the eternal moaning of the sea asking herself whether it would not be better to let herself sink into the depths rather than undergo the cruel suffering of a wait without hope" (Dumas 40). The narrator is describing Mercedes life without Edmond. This quote is dreadfully depressing and shows that love has two sides. Their love is extremely polarized. They feel either (reverse or no) excitement from seeing each other again or tears from the fact they have to part. Despite it being a depressing quote, it is very wordy and shows her misery well. 9. "For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God" (Dumas 41). The narrator is explaining how people with good lives take prayer for granted and how others less fortunate pray with a passion. This is a exceedingly genuine quote, and I think it applies in other situations as well. When life is going well people take things for granted or reason they don 't need to give all of their effort. Some people do not call their family until they need money, and others may not keep track of their money if they are rich. "Beside him, wearing brand-new clothes and a broad smile, was his devoted son,…

“The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water.” One of my favorite quotes begins, “Never bet on stability or lasting order. Everything and everyone can change.” This is a simple quote until one actually tries to apply it to life. When betrayal becomes a factor in a relationship, it should be easy to leave said relationship behind. However, leaving someone is always easier said than done when love is involved, despite the fact that the relationship causes more harm…

When you think of what you will do for the day, do you think of things to better others’ lives or your own? In Tartuffe and A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift and Moliere speak of ways of living and human nature. Tartuffe speaks of a man who is supposed to be a man of God but is only trying to better his own way of living and take away a man’s own home. Swift as well speaks of living and human nature but not of a man but society as a whole and how they look at a certain group of people. In this…

The Iliad: 9. Choose one of the questions below, and answer in 75-150 words: • The epic begins in medias res. What are some of the literary effects of this narrative structure? By beginning The Iliad in media res, we immediately become part of the action. The first word of the story is “Rage”. We do not get an explanation or backstory about why there is rage. Instead, we get to know what is important, and that is what is happening now. Starting the story this way also grabs the reader’s…

Authors use many different literary devices to make their idea clear and concise or to enhance their novel or story. Moliere and Kafka are no different, their novels Tartuffe and The Metamorphosis, respectively, both use Deus Ex Machina to end their novel with a twist. Deus Ex Machina is when an author uses an unexpected power or events to save the characters or story from a seemingly impossible situation. It often used at the end of a story, novel, or play and to the reader it seems as if the…

The play Tartuffe by Moliere is a play with many underlying complicated themes, and one of them might be the way it mocks the weaknesses of the characters. The play exaggerates the human folly of characters like Orgon and their inability to see beyond their narrowed perspective and believing everyone else to be following the same train of thought. Also, the play highlights the strict conduct blindly followed by french society like gender norms and religious affiliation and puts them out of…

The witch smiles her sweet grin. “Wonderful!” She rises from her chair and grabs a spherical green object from a nearby shelf. She sets it on the table with a thump. “Is that a crystal ball?” Will asks. The sound of his voice sends my heart into a downward spiral. Heat rises up my spine. Whatever is in the air in this place, it’s making my emotions go haywire. The crystal ball suddenly sparks into a cloud of green, producing sparkles within it. The woman laughs at the sight. “So much attraction!…

When producing a play that is considered a classic and has remained popular for centuries, it is easy to fall into the habit of directing it the way that it usually is, without giving much thought to all of the individual elements of it. One of the crucial elements to any production that is all too frequently overlooked in these situations is the feeling that the audience is left with after the end of the play. For Tartuffe in particular, it is convenient to assume that because the play is…

plagioclase, orthopyroxene, and titanomagnetite (Murphy et al., 1999). These same minerals are also found within inclusions of the amphibole (Murphy et al., 1999). All amphiboles are calcic and range in sizes (Murphy et al., 1999). Iron and Titanium oxides occur as individual microphenocrysts as well as microlites within inclusions formed from the breakdown of amphibole (Murphy et al., 1999). The last mineral is quartz which occurs as individual crystals in small amounts in each sample…
