The quick encouragement of the marriage to Paris shows Nurse’s new disloyalty to Juliet. Juliet loses Nurse’s respect and feels alone in her decision-making, leading to the Friar’s plan. Overall, Nurse is to blame for Juliet’s death because she turned her back on her so that she could avoid the family
William Shakespeare compares Paris to a book because Lady Capulet thinks he is interesting. A theme that can be applied in this quote is “Manipulation” because of how Lady Capulet treats her daughter. 9. Quote: But Montague is bound as well as I, In penalty alike; and 'tis not hard, I think, For men so old as we to keep the peace. Analysis: Lord Capulet is the kind of person that is willing to do things for the sake of other people.
Shakespeare uses a hyperbole when he illustrates Lady Macbeth asking for spirits to "unsex" her. This is extreme because Lady Macbeth is basically asking to defeminise herself, which shows the amount of severity that she is willing to deal with in order to get what she
In the play, Shakespeare puts the character Juliet in a typical situation, which was an arranged marriage and this was a role taken by all women of that time. The parents would choose a husband for their daughter, no matter her age, although arranged marriages where the norm the nurse cares for Juliet enough to trust her decisions and also goes to extremes to bring happiness to Juliet. The Nurse was a servant of the Capulet family and it is common to have a nurse in wealthy families. The Nurse has looked after Juliet since she was a baby. The Nurse is a very funny, disturbing and
It is safe to say these characters are closely related due to the fact that they share a friendship in the play. Desdemona is a female character of elegance; she is a young, beautiful woman who shares a great deal of love and compassion for her husband Othello. Her devotion towards Othello is strong, there is nothing she wouldn't do to satisfy her husband’s every will. It is seen throughout the play that she cares deeply for him despite his allegations towards her, the allegations of Desdemona being unfaithful. She does not wish to leave her husband’s side despite the accusations; in fact it is because of her purity that she holds herself to the enticing idea that her husband will believe her.
Supporting Characters: Friar Lawrence and the Nurse The roles of Friar Lawrence and the Nurse are hugely important in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The Friar’s well meant but ill advised meddling leads to serious complications in the lives of all those surrounding him. Also, the Nurse’s somewhat vulgar sense of humour leads to much comic relief and displays the aspect of physical love. Friar Lawrence acts as a person for Romeo to confide in, to go to for support and guidance. The Friar, in good nature, takes advantage of that.
Some of them were hard to point out but some were easy. Here are some of the dramatic ironies that happened in Romeo and Juliet. In the prologue of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet on pg 787 it begins ‘’two households, both alike in dignity…’’ that was an example of dramatic irony because at first you say that both the families are close and they get along well with each other. But as you read you find out that actually the two families are rivals. Another example of dramatic irony in the play is in scene 2 of act iv Juliet agrees to marry Paris but she had a plan.
In the play A Doll’s House, the main character Nora Helmer is definitely an admirable person. Although she was subservient and flighty in the beginning, she went through a dramatic change during the play. Nora is admirable for having the courage to make a radical change in her life. It shows how she developed into a wiser, more determined woman who learns to respect herself. Because of logical reasons, Nora Helmer was right to abandon her children and she is admirable.
As Cordelia is sent to Duke of Burgundy as being banished from England, it is likely to say that she is banned from her father and her nation. Cordelia buys hate from Lear by having nothing more to say to him compared to Goneril and Regan. Cordelia says “respects and fortunes are his love, I shall not be his wife (pg23 lines 250-251)” in opposition of marriage to Duke of Burgundy since he mentioned about tributes that will follow with Cordelia are none. Although her virtues are about true love and good morals, Duke of Burgundy says “Most choice forsaken and most loved despised! Thee and thy virtues here I seize upon, be it lawful I take up what’s cast away (pg23 lines253-255)” which diminished all good values of Cordelia.
By saying these words to her he is crassly calling her a harlot, and making to appear that he never really loved her. Ophelia made one decision and that was to love Hamlet, and now he is using her actions to make her feel inferior and sinful. Up to this point in the play, Shakespeare depicted Hamlet as a mad man hell-bent on avenging his fathers suspect death, however: his cruel outburst at Ophelia is not a turning point in the story in which he goes from being a hero to being a cold-hearted oppressor. Hamlet tells Ophelia that she will have to ‘marry a fool’ because ‘wise men’ would know better than to marry her; he yells at her ‘get thee to a nunnery’, and yet the way it fits into the plot makes it seem almost expected. As the plot progresses Ophelia begins to lose her mind, resulting in her eventually suicide, but at no point his Hamlet called out for his harsh words against her in a significant way.
