Meaning to embarrass and fool Malvolio, Maria, with the help of Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew, writes a mysterious love letter to Malvolio. “I will drop in his way some obscure epistles of live, wherein by the color of his beard, the shape of his leg, the manner of his gait, the expressure of his eye, forehead, and complexion, he shall find himself most feelingly personated. I can write very like my lady your niece: on a forgotten matter we can hardly make distinction of our hands.” (II, iii, 137-142) Maria explains the plan of the letters to Sir Toby and Sir Andrew and discusses how much Malvolio will look like an idiot during the aftermath of him reading the letter. What they are planning will be sure to make people laugh. It shows dramatic irony because not only do Maria, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew know about these letters and so does the audience, which adds to the comedy, readers crave the concept of knowing something that another character does not know because it make them feel powerful.
I would speak articulately and in a low tone, pausing between every comma before taking a longer pause after saying ‘us.’ I would then look up to the skies triumphantly and quickly proclaim, ‘if she sinks,’ then pause, look regally across the audience before saying, ‘we all drown.’ I will not say this morbidly but with a warm, humbling tone to persuade the audience that this is a good thing to do. The assertiveness in my tone with portray Creon as powerful and efficacious. Even the chorus, who are of neutral opinion, are afraid of the ever-present Creon and thus avoid expressing their honest positive opinions. Further on in this
“You should have discern the time has come that I will give rewards to all of those who are not ashamed of me” To all others are hypocrites, and there will be weeping and gashing of teeth, therefore watch and pray always, that ye may stand before the Son of man.” I had not only written of this story, but had actually lived it. It was a hazy background, that I
We start of with the first King, Duncan, our first sign of humbleness come in at Act 1 scene 2 “So well thy words become thee as thy wounds; they smack of honour both. Go get him surgeons.” This line from Duncan shows that he has the trait of lowliness and generosity to people lower than himself in the social chain, this also shows that Duncan rules by Devine right. We turn to the next scene, Act 1 Scene 3 Duncan has just received news that the Thane of Cawdor has betrayed him, we know this from “No more that Thane of Cawdor shall deceive our bosom interest. “Go pronounce his present death and with his former title greet Macbeth.” We see that Duncan is swift to act upon justice as he does with the Thane of Cawdor, but he is also giving when it comes to praise as we see when Duncan gives the title to Macbeth as a gesture of thanks. Another quotes backs up the point that Duncan is giving is in Act 1 Scene 5 which is “But signs of nobleness like stars shall shine on all deservers” in this case it will relate to what is said by his son Malcolm when he is King.
She attempts to gain sympathy from Agamemnon in speaking with exaggerated emotions. Clytaemnestra also encourages Agamemnon to walk on the “tapestries” through praising him and presenting herself as submissive under his glory (900). Appealing to ethics and morals, she affirms that under “justice” the “great one” deserves to walk on the carpet after he “stamped out Troy” (904, 899). By making Agamemnon feel legitimate and glorious, even under the gods, Clytaemnestra asserts that it’s
Alice tells Humpty Dumpty her name and he tells her that her name is stupid. In Humpty Dumpty’s opinion, names should mean something, offering his own name as an example since it alludes to the shape of his body. He goes on to remark that with a name like Alice, she could be any shape at all. Concerned for his safety, Alice asks Humpty Dumpty why he sits atop the wall. He replies that the King made him a promise, which spurs Alice’s memory of the rhyme stating that the King’s horses and the King’s men put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
I shall lose my nerve and mighty ambition will take a seat to pity. But as the man he honours, I shall be greeting him at the moment. Alas, I better think no further of this foul scene, And put this sinful thought out of my mind. Alas, I better think no further of this foul scene, And put this sinful thought out of my
This is shown in lines 334-344 act 1 scene 2 when Caliban says “When thou cam’st first, Thou strok’st me and made much of me, wouldst give me water with berries in't, and teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night: and then I loved thee And show'd thee all the qualities o' the isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile”. One of Caliban key roles in the play is show the contrast the higher up and more noble characters, and
“Fareth every knight thus with his wif as ye?” Chaucer presents the old maid as a sarcastic character as she knows why he is behaving in such a manner because he married her and decides to find humour in his misfortune. Chaucer presents an idealistic world
She considers the entire question to be hypothetical and unimportant, since she's always known him to be Ernest. The entire dialogue that occurs during the discussion has humorous pieces that add to the colorful nature of the play. One piece of the dialogue is spoken by Jack, where he says, 'Gwendolyn, I must get christened at once—I mean, we must get married at once. '; Wilde shows how society would tend to care about what was on the outside of a person, such as their name or wealth, rather than their character. Another such example of this situation is when Algernon is speaking to Cecily in regards to their engagement.
