Devices that are used by Benedick and Beatrice are Bawdy language, word play and puns, which are very different compared to Dogberry’s According to Aristotle the idea of comedy comes from speculation concerning men dancing, signing and cavorting around the image of a phallus. True or not this idea of high-spirited celebration of sexuality and love, tragedies happen on the battle field more than likely comedy would be staged in the bedroom. Although not all literary works must involve crude humor, simply a happy ending is enough, with expectations and conventions of plot and characters. The language of prose has a particularly prominent place in Much Ado About Nothing; nearly three quarters of the play is written in prose. The pragmatic and realistic views of central characters like Benedick suit the prose style that Shakespeare uses in Much Ado About Nothing, much of the humor that is generated by Benedick and Beatrice’s ‘merry war’ is delivered in prose.
Ren and Toby will find it increasingly difficult to trust anyone because they were raised on the untrustworthy principles of the Gardener cult. Although, the novels Year of the Flood and Life of Pi are similar in that they are portrayed through a guidebook or an oral hymn book for survival purposes. They differ, however, in that one guide is written and followed due to a trust between the protagonist and his surroundings while the other novel's guide could not be written due to a lack of confidence between the protagonists and their surroundings. Pi is able to follow the survival guide because he trusts the author of the guide book. This is proven in chapter 58 when Pi first opens up the manual."
Leeza often shows good sides to her that make Reef want to be a better person. Leeza shows how she is open with her feelings witch makes Reef also do the same as appose to his regular self which consists of him living in a shell and not expressing himself. An example of Reef showing his feelings is when on page two-hundred sixty-three the author says “Reef did not look up. He did the only thing he could do. He wept.” This shows how Leeza made Reef open up his emotions during the scene at the rehabilitation center.
"Piggy was an outsider, not only by accent, which did not matter, but by fat, and ass-mar, and specs, and a certain disinclination to manual labour." (chapter page ) his physical appearance and obvious weaknesses sets him apart from the other boys and for this reason is victimised by Jack. These traits prevent Piggy from being the leader even though he was the most intelligent on the island. Ralph says, ‘Piggy, for all his ludicrous body, had brains’ (chapter page ) and as Ralph discovers the shell on the beach it was piggy who knew what it was and piggy who suggested what to do with it. From the beginning of the novel, piggy has a connection with the conch, it symbolises civilisation as the boys used it to maintain order in the meetings.
Imagery|First and second huntsmenSly|Introduction, Scene 1Lord: “ Even as a flattering dream or worthless fancy.Then take him up and manage well the jest:Carry him gently to my fairest chamberAnd hang it round with all my wanton pictures:Balm his foul head in warm distilled watersAnd burn sweet wood to make the lodging sweet:Procure me music ready when he wakes,To make a dulcet and a heavenly sound;” (Shakespeare) |Figurative language shows that the lord thinks very poorly of the Sly but the Lord is a kind man. The Lord is very generous and is giving the Sly the best room the Lord has and is playing beautiful music and burning sweet wood in the room smells nice and there is heavenly music playing. But the lord is only doing this for a joke and a game for
", and more. But is that just a single view point? Perhaps Caliban plays a more vital role in The Tempest then originally thought. Shakespeare uses Caliban as a device to reveal the Human and Inhuman qualities of the other characters. Caliban is a creature found on the Island by Prospero, and given the gift of agency and language.
This is a prime example of how Odysseus’ good manners and etiquette can manipulate a bitter individual into a content one, which is highly effective for him to ensure his escape from Calypso’s island. A much more effective use of Odysseus’ words is seen in book six when he encounters Nausicaa and her maids. Odysseus’ goal is to plead for help from Nausicaa, however in the revealing state in which he finds himself, he fears he may scare Nausicaa and cause panic. Therefore instead of acting on the normal Greek tradition of grasping ones knees to plea for help, Odysseus states ‘I am at your knees’ as a cunning way to establish safety
“In the isolated worlds presented in these plays, the arrival of outsiders provides a direct challenge to the existing ways in which people communicate.” Compare and contrast the two plays you have studied in such a way as to explore in some detail how far you would agree with this claim. The Tempest The island on which Shakespeare’s characters are brought to life is isolated from civilization; however it contains the social structures and hierarchy’s of a normal nineteenth century society. When Prospero and Miranda first arrive on the island they are not necessarily the only inhabitants but because of their superior education and in Prospero’s case ‘magic art’ they are able to dominate the existing creatures and in doing so challenge the ways in which they communicate. Caliban, for example, is taught to speak. We can only assume that before the arrival of Prospero and Miranda he was able to communicate on a very basic level.
Shakespeare shows Prospero’s use of Miranda to be more blatant however. When she accuses him of causing the storm and then is distraught by the fact that someone might have gotten hurt, he distracts her quickly with a bit of hypnoses followed by the story of how they came to be on the island in the first place. It is not directly stated that he used hypnosis on her, but he opens the story by telling her to “Obey and be attentive”, and the language he uses is both hypnotic and
However, they value different means of love although their love maybe as much as each other. In the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet, the line of "are you going to leave me so unsatisfied?" and "I would be satisfied if we made each other promises of love" said Romeo. However, the persona in Sonnet 18, he written that "once you 're captured in my eternal verses, as long as men are alive and have eyes with which to see, this poem will live and keep you alive ." These show differences as Romeo value more at immediate promises, and at the opposite, persona in Sonnet 18values more in eternal love.
