They both explore the theme of love or rather painful love. the poet revels the link between the two poems’s through a verity of techniques which is done very effectively but also shows the difference between the obsessive love in “Havisham” and the possessive love of “Valentine”. The pain of love is evident from the beginning in both poems. “Carol Ann Duffy” uses the tone in the first couple of stanzas to show the unorthodox nature of the love. “Not a day since then I haven’t whished him dead”-Havisham This is very effective as the aggressive tone shows “Havisham” has been rejected and her love is causing her pain.
English Assignment Part B On the far outskirts of the Empire, a small village sits silently on a hillside surrounded in an eerie cloud of fog. In one of these houses, while everybody sleeps, a boy of only twelve, was on his knees. He was praying, to whom it was unknown, but he was praying for a better life. For he was the runt of the family, wretched and tiny. He was beaten by his father daily due to his mother’s death, when giving birth to him.
The relationship between Proctor and Abigail is used as a heat metaphor, built on lust not love. ‘Sweated like a stallion,’ portrays the romance and passion between them. ‘Abigail, with a bitter anger: Oh, I marvel how such a strong man may let such a sickly wife be- Proctor, angered at himself as well: You'll speak nothing of Elizabeth!’ Miller shows us this to make us have the idea that Proctor is redeeming his sins, which makes us again gain admiration for him, as he stands up to Abigail about Elizabeth which shows true love and compassion for his wife, it also shows how he is strong willed by resisting Abigail’s on going demands. We can also learn to sympathise more with Proctor as it comes clear that it was a weakness from him and how he is only human to fall for a ‘startlingly beautiful’ 18 year old girl. Proctor feels he has to atone for his
It also says that it particularly unusual for someone like Candy to get compensation for his work injury at the time of ‘the great depression’. The relationship Candy has with his dog is of particular importance. As it is very clear that when his dog got shot Candy enters a depression stage where he’s not talking and often “staring at the ceiling”. Similarly the life of the average rancher of 1930s America was depressing often travelling alone needing companionship. Moreover the relationship between Candy and his dog is similar to the relationship between George and Lennie, hence the dog getting killed foreshadows George killing Lennie at the end of the novel since Candy clearly says to George “I ought to of shot that dog myself.
Science & Technology * Example: Ernest (Frankenstein’s brother) is “full of activity and spirit”, “ looks upon study as an odious fetter; his time is spent in the open air”. Frankenstein: “often did my human nature turn with loathing from my occupation”. “It was a most beautiful season…but my eyes were insensible to the charms of nature” * Technique & Effect: Shelley characterises Ernest as representative of Romanticism and Frankenstein as representative of the Enlightenment. Shelley juxtaposes the two to highlight how their contrasting relationship with nature results in contrasting levels of personal well-being. Ernest is described in terms with positive connotations such as “spirit”, while Frankenstein is described in pejorative terms such as “loathing”.
In ‘The Manhunt’, the narrator’s compassion is for the mental anguish which her husband is obviously suffering and in ‘Nettles’ it is the father’s compassion for the physical wounds of his son. Both poets use unusual imagery to present the writer’s family member as needing protection. In ‘The Manhunt’, instead of the obvious representation of a soldier as strong and powerful, Laura’s husband is likened to fine, precious china, “the damaged, porcelain collar-bone”. This gives the reader a sense of his fragility following his injuries, with his punctured lung described as delicate “parachute silk”. These images show Laura’s tenderness for her husband and how she wants to protect him.
Feeling dejected, Candy lay rigidly on his bed staring at the ceiling silently as Carlson leaves to go shoot his precious dog. Pattern #4 Lennie was worried because he had accidentally killed his puppy and didn’t want George to get mad at him and say that he can’t tend the rabbits anymore. Knees shaking, heart beating, Lennie looked at the creature, a little dead puppy sitting in front of him, and stroked it with his huge hand clear from one end to the other. After staring at it a while, Lennie began to get furious with the puppy, making it seem like it was the dogs fault for dying so easily. Curley’s wife catches Lennie by surprise and in a panic, he shovels hay over the puppy with his fingers, but it was too
He worries that the boss will soon realize he is useless and easily replaceable, and demand that he leave the ranch. Candy’s dog only supports his fear. “And at his heels there walked a dragfooted sheepdog, gray of muzzle, and with pale, blind old eyes. The dog struggled lamely to the side of the room and lay down, grunting softly to himself and licking his grizzled, moth-eaten coat.” (p 24) His dog reflects himself and when the dog is put down by Carlson for being useless and smelly, Candy’s fear grows
Love is prevalent in the journey and the key to every obstacle they face. A Wrinkle in Time shows that love overcomes the wrath of darkness and evil. This is expressed through the family’s love for one another. Meg Murray has a little brother named Charles Wallace, and a mother; love for
He feels as if the stars are mocking him, because they are beautiful, shining, and fill the sky by the thousands, while he is an eye sore and alone. The stars and trees also symbolize the people he’s encountered throughout his short lifetime, specifically the family he secretly studies and learns from. He sees them happy and together and he longs for that feeling, but knows he’ll never fully attain it. However, he willingly gives chances for people to accept him. Each time the monster interacts with humans, walking through villages, approaching De Lacey, saving the drowning girl, or searching for the approval of Frankenstein, is represented by a portion of the selected passage: “now and then the sweet voice of a bird burst forth amidst the universal stillness.” After spending long periods of time in isolation, the monster deserts his “stillness” and gives humans a chance to accept him, when a “sweet voice of a bird burst forth.” These bursts of the songbird represent the times of the monster’s great desire to be accepted and introduced into a normal life, but inevitably fail and he is forced to return to his “universal
