After Hero was accused and fainted at the wedding, Beatrice wanted to avenge Hero’s integrity and honor. However, because she was a woman, she could not and was forced to seek help from Benedick. She convinced Benedick to do what she wanted to, because he was a man and he could do something about it. In conclusion, men and women we’re
However this may have been a subtext way of Shakespeare suggesting that Beatrice really does care about Benedick and was using this as a way of finding out if Benedick returned safely from the fighting without portraying to her friends that she does still have feelings for him. This may also be a way of Shakespeare suggesting to us that Beatrice and Benedick have met one another before. After Benedick is mocked the messenger tries to defend him. He claims that he ‘has done good service in these wars’ and is ‘a good soldier too, lady’. This shows that Benedick is talented at fighting and is a noble man.
This speech is very powerful and when someone is feeling unmotivated and depressed it has the ability to stir you to focus. Henry knew that he was sending his troops out into a battle they would lose but instead of dwelling on this Henry convinces his men that the battle is more than a mathematical formula that they have all come there to fight for honour, for justice and for glory. He makes fighting with him at Agincourt sound like a privilege. Henry also brings up, once more the motif of the bond between kind and commoner. In the scene before the battle of Harfleur, he unites himself with his men, he says “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
The shrew is tamed and all is well. Petruchio took on the challenge; the challenge of taming the horrible shrew, Katherine. Most men avoided her because of horrible attitude and disrespectful manner, but Petruchio did not. Not only did Petruchio tame her, but he married her. He took a risk that most men would not dare take.
In the book both sisters had to deal with their spouse cheating on them but they both just wanted revenge on their husband and boyfriend at first but that wasn’t the right way to go about it. One of my favorite lines in the book is in the chapter where the spiritual counselors tell Vanessa and Thomas that just because god says its okay to divorce and adulterer doesn’t mean you should. I think that in this day and age, we are so quick to throw in the towel and sometimes god really wants us to look at the “for better or for worse” part. I think that if your husband or wife was to make a mistake we shouldn’t be so quick to get a divorce and try to work things out. This book taught me that divorce isn’t the way to solve your problems all though time.
They are both motivated by the wellbeing of their people to fight. Of course Beowulf also fights for the obvious reason, gold. Beowulf accepted the gold for killing the monster that plagued Hrothgar’s kingdom. After Beowulf kills the monster’s mother, he accepts even more golden treasure from the Danes and sails home with his men. While his motives for fighting always seem to be honorable and heroic, some people may see Beowulf as a mercenary.
Alternatively, it could mean that their love is so strong that it causes a change to the rhythm of the poem, as it conquers time. “To His Coy Mistress” is similar to this; it’s made up from rhyming couplets like “grow” and “slow” throughout the whole poem, which I think, is because the poem is meant to persuade his lover to sleep with him. The rhyming makes it sound witty and well-constructed; so the woman can understand it more easily and is more likely to want to sleep with him. However, like “Hour”, it contains some half rhyme “lie” with “eternity” and “try” with “virginity”. This is found in the second premise which is aimed at being realistic- the poem starts off with “but”- and the truth is often
He knew if Temas didn’t learn this, he would forever doubt himself. Another way that Medoto showed courageousness was when he proved how he felt to Temas, no matter how hard it was for him. “He smiled. It is no good to lie, I wanted you to fail, but when I saw you hesitate I could not bear it because I remembered my own hour of fear. It was then I threw the stone, not to shame you, but to save you from shame.” (369) He was brave enough to tell him, he himself was scared.
They king and queen and their people will always be protected by the gods and goddess because they were always praying to the gods or goddess. This is done so because they know they might need help or guides. They also pray to say thank you for their blessings to the gods and the goddess. Odysseus journey was for a reason to learn and to know how to be a leader in leading his men into battle and the gods wanted to see if he can bring his men home safely. Within this trail he was able to make it home.
This suggests that her mind is unstable here because she plans to make sure that Macbeth ‘shall be what thou art promised.’ In other words, she is going to take control to make sure that the witches’ prophecies are fulfilled. It could be argued that Lady Macbeth decides to fulfil the prophecies because she loves her husband so intensely. Lady Macbeth uses very positive adjectives in this scene to describe her husband (‘great’, ‘worthy’, etc. ), in much the same way as Macbeth does in his letter to describe his wife (‘dearest partner of greatness’). They clearly have an extremely passionate relationship and Shakespeare portrays that Lady Macbeth is willing to do whatever it takes to assist her husband.
