Prologue

Animals often play significant roles in literature despite their appearance of being in trivial positions; the employment of animals is seen throughout many of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The Summoner and the Pardoner’s tales evoke numerous animals such as cats and horses that either play large roles (for example, describing the Pardoner’s physical appearance) or small ones (the Summoner’s act of moving a cat). Despite their superficial insignificance, the animals are deliberately included by…

In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue” and Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress” there are both similarities and differences in regards to gender. The representation of Marvell’s speaker as a male who uses his persistent, manipulative nature outlines his disrespect towards women, and their coyness towards sexuality. Chaucer’s uses of a female as his poems lead challenges the expected female standards of her time; not only is his female character outwardly sexual, but she uses it to…

In the eyes of your love, you 're perfect. In the eyes of your peers, your not worth it. Romeo loved and so did Juliet, but their love was fast and their family’s hatred was not a good duet. Lets sink our eyes, in this passage of what Shakespeare wanted to accomplish in this play of two lovers who die. In Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet, when the playwright explores the general theme of Fast vs. Slow, he is urging his audience to believe that love can happen between any circumstances and love…

Shakespeare says in his prologue of the play (Page 7) “A pair of star crossed lovers take their life. Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.” This does quite go with love at first sight but it can also help the audience believe and understand that love at first sight shows strong feelings what love is. In the beginning of the play the audience finds out that the Capulets and the Montagues (Juliet and Romeo's families) deeply hate each other a lot that they even killed each other and…

Teenage love isn’t quite authentic, and Shakespeare’s portrayal of young love certainly doesn’t help its reputation. Grainer has argued that, “As far as many teenagers are concerned, love always seems to be in the air. But is it really love? I don’t think so. In many cases, it is a false love created by the media and music that influence teenagers’ way of thinking.” His argument is agreeable. By the media, teens are exposed to many different impressions of “love”. Popular television shows like…

Romeo from the play Romeo and Juliet strongly embodies the definition of a tragic hero. His fatal flaws not only costs him his life, but also the life of Juliet. Pulled apart by their families’ long-standing hatred, Romeo and Juliet make the indirect decision to take their own lives. Romeo’s naïve and childish actions do not warrant the outcome of the tragic event that plays out at the end of the play. Unfortunately, the circumstances Romeo is under and the actions he chooses to make, causes him…
