Shakespeare masterfully weaves the themes uniquely and provides a new insight into them. This is evident in the excerpt, “Death lies on her like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field” (4.5.29-30). In the excerpt, Lady Capulet compares Juliet’s death to a flower’s death. By doing this, Juliet maintains her beauty and grace even at the state of death. Lady Capulet indirectly describes Juliet’s death as peaceful and elegant, rather than gruesome and grotesque.
The word “dove” suggests she is both beautiful and a figure of peace. Shakespeare represents strong feeling of love and how it is effectively presented through this quote. This is ironic because her family is the Montague’s enemy and conflict before peace arrives between the two families. The “crows” could represent the Capulet’s who are the Montague’s enemies, but can also represent the other females at the ball. It can be said that Romeo uses the word “crows” to contrast Juliet to the other females; it is evident that he finds her to be one of the beautiful beings.
Cornelia responds by beckoning her three children and explaining that they are her most beloved treasures. Her response draws attention to the woman in red’s foolish ideals of vanity and materialism. The colors in this piece are used symbolically. Cornelia, showed in white, symbolizing purity. The red dress depicts a feeling of passion.
He admires her attitude when she baths herself by “the tall black cliff where the water runs cold” he relates her attitude to his connection to power. The length of lines varies and this could be to make the structure look as though it mimics a river and to indicate its destructive power. He describes his sleepy head lady as “golden”, the comparison to gold make her to be seen as something considered being precious, beautiful and valuable. This could also reflect her characteristic to be with superior quality to the River God. Soon as the poem progresses, we discover a darker aspect to both of the poetic voice’s personality.
“O she is rich in beauty, only poor that when she dies, with beauty dies her store.” – Romeo is saying that she is beautiful, but it is a shame that she will not pass her beauty down to anyone because she does not want to have children. 3) Describe the Nurse. Describe her relationship with Juliet. Nurse is a comic relief character in this tragic play. She is a trusted confidant in the Capulet family.
The war bought about many changes, not only was a generation of men lost; but there was a loss of innocence, a loss of humanity and most importantly a loss of self. I'll be comparing Journey's end to Helen Zenna Smith's Not So Quiet, like Journey’s End the novel shows a realistic portrayal of what life was like for VADS. Smith’s Not So Quiet takes place over several years, whilst Journey’s end takes place over three days, but both texts are similar in the fact that they state that the war was responsible for an entire lost generation. From the very beginning of the play Sheriff illustrates a rather bleak picture of the war, and the reader is made to feel the unwelcoming atmosphere of the dugout. However as you read on through the stage directions, Sheriff describes how the “flames of the candles that burn day and night are steady in still, damp air.” This insinuates that there is still hope for the soldiers in the dugout, the flames symbolise hope, and the candles make several appearances within the play, they become very significant towards the end of the play when the dugout is shelled at the very end of the play.
A simple poem, and seemingly short compared to the other two, it simply tells of the narrator’s views of the young lady he is admiring. Also unlike the other two, Poe uses positive words and rhythms to create an ending mental vision that illustrates Helen to be that of graceful beauty, with her placed in a window with a glowing lamp that signifies to him of the “Holy Land” or Heaven, for which he sees Helen to be the Angel of in representation. However, a poem such as “Lenore” is told in a much more saddening, although not completely depressing element. This poem exemplifies Poe’s more frequent theme of death combined with beauty is presented. Guy De Vere, however, is not completely saddened by the deathly occurrence; but he is rather outraged because he believes that everyone had “wished her dead” due to loving the wealth that she had carried but rather hating the pride that she carried along with it.
Stephanie Eshleman Mrs. Scherer English 102 3T The Infamous Deaths of Glory “She went down in all her glory,” is a common phrase heard when talking about the Titanic, and no, not the movie. The poem “Titanic” by David R. Slavitt tells the tale of this infamously famous ship as if it were some sort of fairy tale ending. Slavitt tries to soothe the harsh reality of the sinking by stating that “the cries on all sides must be a comfort” (13). To say that it is a comfort to die along with others is true, as many people want someone by their death beds, even third class steerage. However, in the anesthetic cold water the first class and some steerage were dying together (12).
* “dying orchids on the floor beside her bed” pg 151 quote * Daisy was in a fog and she did not know what to do without Gatsby. * The beauty of the orchids had gone away now and they were “dying” because the happiness of her evening came and went so quickly like the life of the orchids. Body Paragraph 3: TRS: The white petals of a daisy signify purity which is similar to the pureness of sprit signified by the white outfits that Daisy wears. (need to clean up) TS: The name Daisy given to Gatsby’s true love is significant because outwardly she appeared to be worthy of his love but inwardly she was not
He was wrong. Perhaps Lee’s poor judgments were caused by the dysentery he was rumored to have had. Pickett’s Charge, as it would come to be called, was largely a death march and it resulted in devastating losses for the
