Beatrice expresses her acceptance of Benedick’s love but does not realize the love inside Beatrice exists artificially. Beatrice’s faith in her emotions leaves her vulnerable to any criticism of her love to Benedick. For instance, when Hero commands Margaret to fetch Beatrice, Hero and Ursula purposely allow Beatrice to listen to them to invoke a stronger attraction in Beatrice towards Benedick. Shakespeare allows the first sign of the theme deception to manifests itself within Hero and Ursula’s conversation. Shakespeare aims to project a very harsh form of deception here in order to emphasize the power of deception of love.
Firstly, Donne's poetry is highly distinctive and individual, adopting a multitude of images. The poem offers elaborate parallels between apparently dissimilar things, “Then as th’ earth’s inward narrow crooked lanes, Do purge sea water’s fretful salt away,” (Donne, Lines 6-7) Donne's poem expresses a wide variety of emotions and attitudes, as if Donne himself were trying to define his experience of love through his poetry. Although, “The Triple Fool” gives a limited view of Donne’s attitude towards love, Donne treats the poem as a part of experience, giving insight into the complex range of experiences concerning love and grief, “I thought, if I could draw my pains through rhyme's vexation, I should them allay.” (Donne, Lines 8-9) Overall, the imagery in “The Triple Fool,” contributes to Donne’s sorrowful diction of love and grief. Moreover, Donne explains that poetry is for love and grief, and not for pleasing things, but songs make love and grief even worse. The first verse of the poem states that he is two times a fool, a fool for loving, and a fool for admitting it, “I am two fools, I know, for loving, and for saying so in whining poetry.” (Donne, Lines 1-3) Donne follows to say that he would still not be wise, even if “she” (Donne, Line 5) returned his love.
11. How does the final paragraph of the essay contribute to Swift’s rhetorical purpose? * The final paragraph serves Swift’s rhetorical purpose in two ways. It concludes with an ironic flourish, as if to excuse him of the selfish motives the reader might suspect. And it effects an appeal, if an ironic one indeed, to the reader’s wariness.
In Ray Bradbury’s novel ‘Fahrenheit 451’ Bradbury explores the development of his protagonist Guy Montag. Guy gradually increases to rebel the dystopian society in which he is inhabited. Bradbury investigates this through a wide range of literary techniques to convey the development of his protagonist. At first, the reader is shown that Montag is pleased and contented with his life. This is proved by the effective and striking first line; ‘It was a pleasure to burn’ The reader may be potentially shocked at the interesting word choice as the noun ‘pleasure’ – which has strong positive connotations and linked with happiness and enjoyment – is juxtaposed with ‘burn’ which is associated with destruction.
The seriousness of their love results from the lovers’ disrepudance (?) of artificial language of ‘love’ and superficial code they had tired by at the beginning of the play. This is seen through the development of language form beginning with rhyme (Levin- “Comedy set the pattern of courtship embodied in dance (rhyme)) heavily used in the first act to its replacement of Blank verse which representative of a for more logical and realistic tone. This also reflects a common Shakespearean comment on Appearance versus Reality which is often a deeper theme discussed in tragedy. Tragedy is said to be further represented in Shakespeare’s use of opposites or antithesis.
Someone once said "The important measure of a superior work of literature is its ability to produce in the reader a healthy confusion of please and disquietude." This quote states that some of the best works of literature are the ones that bring on a variety of different emotions as you read them. I agree with this statement; usually works of literature that I've enjoyed the most have made me feel a mixture of pleasure and uneasiness all at the same time. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare both relate to this quote.
He states, “all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.” Here he appeals to ethos by showing what he feels everyone, and shows that he cares about every ones happiness and freedom. This then gives him respect and also is persuading the audience that this man understands and respects each one of us. The use of pathos, the emotional connection to the audience, gave a sense of feel and transported the message and meaning to the audience. Everyone was touched in one way or another. Whether they recalled some of the founding fathers, or the heroes that fought for America, or they connected
The immense setting he created encouraged the reader to experience some of what the Roaring Twenties had to offer,from someones perspective. From this, he tired to make you understand the circumstances of what the combination of prosperity and materialistic things could do, how an appetite for anyone and anything could be achieved but at a price. Finally, Fitzgerald concluded with giving the reader the impact and results of what these things had done. The combination of this setting, experience and understanding of the era, for the reading, is why it is considered and celebrated as literary
This is supported by the Othello by William Shakespeare and A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. Both literary works show theme of deception and characterization that convey the critical lens. If a person does a wrong thing he/she should try to fix it before it’s too late. If they will not take any steps to fix it, it will eventually affect them in a bad way. Both literary works showed how a person did a wrong thing and it has caught up to him/her.
At the start of Othello’s soliloquy, in Act III scene iii, his sense of self-doubt is expressed by his love for Desdemona ‘if’ doubting Iago’s accusations claiming ‘men should be what they seem’. However, the audience can see a mental transition of Othello’s self-being as his language becomes harsher feeling ‘abused’ foreshadowing Desdemona’s tragic ending. The euphemism of Othello ‘whistles her off’ takes upon the Kantian approach of the hypothetical imperative. The hypothetical imperative suggests in order to achieve the summum bonum (highest good) you have to do something;
