Pun

Attention reader, this is a warning. You are about to read the cheesiest report you have ever read in your entire life. My theme for this Defense of Mastery is the makeup and history of cheese. I chose cheese as my Defense of Mastery theme because it is something out of the ordinary. Last semester I did the road to success, which was more mental than it was physical This semester I hope to go a little crazy and do something a little more challenging. I want to do something fun that could still…

alone. Being a pun, Haemon’s statement about not letting Antigone die alone, can be interpreted in two different ways. Creon assumes that he is saying that Haemon will die with her, but Haemon actually means that he will go and marry her before she dies, so she won’t die unmarried to her lover. Because of Antigone’s loyalty to the gods and her brother, Creon’s ultimate goal is to not let Antigone and Haemon have the special bond of marriage, which can never be broken. Consequently, this pun…

Romeo feels as if nothing shall work out for him and that his fate is doomed as he will never find another true love. Regardless of this, he still makes this pun, showing that even in the most somber of times, characters can be carefree and continue to move the theme forward towards the rising action of the plot. Another way Shakespeare used puns was to show the reader that a character truly feels an emotion, having two different ways to express this. Romeo says to Mercutio, “Not I, believe me.…

not take Hamlet’s love seriously. Polonius tells Ophelia, “Tender yourself more dearly, or you’ll tender me a fool” (1.3.115-117). Polonius tells Ophelia that she should offer herself more respect. The word tender has a double meaning also known as a pun, when he tells her to respect herself, she will be making a fool of him if she doesn’t. Additionally, Polonius is forcing Ophelia to communicate with Hamlet, who she hoped to not see again for her fearfulness of him. Polonius is seen as the…

Mercutio v.s Tybalt Is it possible for characters to be alike and different at the same time? In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio and Tybalt absolutely loathe each other. These two individuals have drastically hot tempers, extremely facetious attitudes and terrifically loyal mentalities. Even with their shared qualities, they have a few differences. The first difference between these characters would be how they display their traits; even though these traits are…

Isaiah Lopez Carrie Perry English 104 12/12/2015 The Importance of “Noting” Noting denotes absence of something. In addition, the word sounds improvised and modest in this era. For this reason, there are high expectations a play that comprises of such a heading and interesting story behind the title. Conversely, the play and its title itself seem to have significant weight than the general perception and weight from a number of individuals. Consequently. William Shakespeare made two plays, which…

often lie.” (1.4.49-52). Mercutio serves as Romeo's dramatic foil. While Romeo let’s love push him around and dictate his fate, Mercutio does not. In fact, However, Mercutio intelligence can be found elsewhere; in his never-ending puns. Mercutio is the ne plus ultra of puns, using his incredible wit to tease and mock. Mercutio is the literal human embodiment of a sharp wit. Overall, the colors black, gold, and grey depict Mercutio’s brooding fervor, his high status and exorbitant, and his…

If Romeo were not a Montague, he would still be himself: his name is not a physical part of him like his hand or foot. A rose would smell the same if we used a different term for it ‐ and Romeo would still be as perfect if he had a different name. The alternative to this arbitrary view of meaning was associated with Plato, and its crucial difference was in the rejection of the notion of randomness in language. The Platonic view posited a deep, divine or occult, connection between the form of…

I used two hyperboles, and one pun in this text. The pun was “No oh whale bits in our relationship.” The pun here is the use of “oh whale.” The actual use would be “oh well.” The effect is quite funny, as it just draws contrast on what is usually a more serious subject. It lightens the mood, and just pokes fun at more serious…

It was three in the morning, which wasn’t really different from any other night, for April Savige, anyway. April, for some reason, loved staying up late, even though she usually had to get up at six thirty. What she loved staying up for was something lots of people would call pointless: fanfiction. Fanfiction was a type of writing fans of a work wrote instead of the real creator of the work. No one knew who the ‘creator’ of fanfiction was, but a few people had… guesses. “Oh my gods, Perce, you…
