“Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed. Ascend her chamber, and comfort her. But look thou stay not till the watch be set, for thou canst not pass to Mantua, where thou shalt live, till we an find a time, to blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends, beg pardon of the Prince, and call thee back with twenty hundred thousand times more joy.” (3, 3, 146) this is a shameful manipulation of Romeo, because Friar Lawrence is in no position to promise such a rosy
The poem’s theme appears to be about unrequited love and a man wooing his “coy mistress” to sleep with him, but this poem does has a deeper meaning, which is really impressive and therefore is striking. The theme of mortality is highlighted in this poem through word choice and by using imagery which reinforces the idea of death. Words relating to death such as “ ashes” and “grave” are used to emphasise the lack of time that we have and the stark contrast between the slow, idyllic first stanza and the sped up, heavier second stanza shows the difference between the idealistic eternity and the reality that we are all mortal and have to die at some point. Another deeper theme introduced is the idea of “carpe diem” which is shown through the lustier language in the poem, word choice such as “time devour”, and also through the quickened pace of the second stanza. The speaker is not simply asking the “coy mistress” to sleep with him, what he is saying is if there was all the time in the world then life would be ideal but there is not so they have to live for the moment.
Review of ‘the work’ My interpretation of this poem is about a dreaming worker, someone who has to put lots effort to keep the bread on the table and the gas bills paid. He (for the purpose of this review) wants to travel the world and discover ‘canyons, deserts river-plains and valleys’ but he can’t as he must stay and support a family; but his hopes won’t die because they keep him going though his hard day-to-day errands. I assume this because even in the first words he writes ‘my heart’ this is a strong metaphor. It is the image of the spirit, mind, hopes and dreams that make us experience how strongly he longs to go to his ‘unmapped continents’. But in the first line ‘a hundred dusty roads’ you can sense the loneliness of
”An hundred years should go to praise thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze, Two hundred to adore each breast, but thirty thousand to the rest.” (231) In this perfect dream world, time does not exist. Infinity is theirs, and they can take their time pursuing each other eternally. In stark contrast, the second stanza begins with the indentation of the word “But” causing the word to jump off of the page. Suddenly, the dream world is shattered as the young man thrusts the woman back into the harshness of reality. “But at my back I always hear time’s winged chariot hurrying near, and yonder all before us lie deserts of vast
Point in case, when at the Buchenaus house Tom gets a call and Jordan trying to listen claims to nick “Tom’s got some women in New York” (pg. 19). Tom is not truly happy and is trying to find what in his heart is missing. Money can buy many lavishes things to make a person seem to be joyful but it will never bring that person true happiness. Likewise, while in the hotel when Gatsby, Tom, and Daisy are talking Tom states, “I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife,” (pg.
With that, he asks her as she ever considers wanting it removed. She reply’s “To tell you the truth it’s been so often called a charm that I was simple enough to imagine it might be so.”(Hawthorn pg 230). He then asks her if he can remove it. Georgiana at first feels hurt by her husband’s request then His obsession slowly but surely becomes her obsession to the point where she even tell her husband “The attempt be made at whatever risk, danger is nothing to me; for life, while this hateful mark makes me the object of your horror and disgust, life is a burden which I would fling down with joy. Either remove this dreadful hand, or take my wretched life!
He soon starts hearing voices that whisper “Macbeth shall sleep no more!” meaning Macbeth won’t have peace anymore because sleeping is so innocent and recharging and he doesn’t deserve that. “Sleep no more!” to all the house/Glamis hath murder’d sleep/And therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more/Macbeth shall sleep no more!” (II, ii, 45-50 & 54-56) These are voices of the spirits he hears in the air and this really freaks him out. Lady Macbeth assures that she didn’t hear anything; the voices were all in Macbeth’s mind. “How
As Montague observes, Romeo walks around before the sun rises, and Away from light steals home my heavy son And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night (I, i. ll.135-138). Romeo does this, of course, because of Rosaline’s rejection. Romeo’s parents and cousin regard his darkness as “black and portentous,” and consider it a reason for concern. And indeed it is troubling, as this is not typical behavior for Romeo, nor is it expected of most people, and there is clearly something wrong with him. Romeo’s relationship with the dark is also strengthened through the object of his love, Rosaline.
The focal character, Lennie, is inevitably drawn to tragedy, due to his wish for untarnished happiness. The composer of the novella profoundly depicts Lennie’s dream as, ‘livin offa the fatta the lan’. Lennie wishes to have a farm and ‘tend to the rabbits’, with George by his side, however due to obstacles and his untimely fate, he never succeeds with his ambition. When Lennie tells Crooks about his dream, Crooks deflates Lennie's happiness and hope by relaying him with the bitterness of the idea that ‘nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land.’
