... him. As we read on, you learn that the first line is significant because it creates a bridge to the next line, “the brave day sunk in hideous night”(L2). Again, we need to place emphasis on Shakespeare's choice of wording. Shakespeare uses the word sunk in order to illustrate how the dark night engulfs the day. What Shakespeare is doing is using the words “hideous night” and “sunk” to form a catalogue of images pertaining to decay and passing time. The brave day sinks deeper and deeper as time on the clock marches on. Time is destruction. “When I behold violet past prime”(L.3), Shakespeare is again adding to hi ...
... justice commends th' ingredients of our poisoned chalice to our own lips. He's here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, strong both against the deed; then, as his host, who should against his murderer shut the door, not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues will plead like angels trumpet- tongued against The deep damnation of his taking-off: And pity, like a naked newborn babe, striding the blast, or heavan's cherubin horsed upon the sightless couriers of the air, shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind. ...
... Otherwise the place will be forgotten, it will never be found when I am dead of the same malady, I shall be laid under some heap of poor grass. Monseigneur, there are so many, they increase so fast, there is so much want. Monseignuer! Monseignuer!(Dickens, page 122) This poor woman could not even provide her husband with a proper burial. Her husband probably worked hard all his life just trying to provide for his family. It was in his death that he had to die with no dignity. His story like others was soon to be forgotten. It was up to the flood to assure the fact that his story would not be forgotten, that it would always be remembered as something that should ne ...
... choose Caesar for their king...yet I love him well."(act 1, scene 2, ll.85-89), as he is speaking to Cassius. Brutus loves Caesar, but would not allow him to "climber-upward...He then unto the ladder turns his back..."(act 2, scene 1, ll.24,26). As the quote says, Brutus would not allow Caesar to rise to power and then turn his back onto the people of Rome. After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus talks to Antony about Caesar's death. "Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; and pity to the general wrong of Rome..."(act 3, scene 1, ll.185-186). Brutus says that Antony cannot see their(members of the conspiracy) hearts, which are full of pity. Again ...
... loves him, because she had no words. The king was very upset with Cordelia and because of his madness towards Cordelia thinking that she did not love him as much as her other sisters, he divided the land in two and gave Reagan and Goneril each half. Cordelia on the other hand received nothing as her dowry and in turn no none would marry her except the King of France. Giving the land to the two daughters was the first of Lear's mistakes, for the daughters did not love him as much as Cordelia did, but they wished to have his riches. When Goneril and Reagan are in power they try to make Lear appear to be incompetent. They refer to him as " ...
... attention. As is the case in Toni Morrison’s story. The characters in her story think that they are ugly , by others opinions of them , and want to become beautiful so they will be recognized and be the center of attention. But the harder both characters try, the worse things get. Pauline strived for beauty because she wanted to attention and wanted to be beautiful. Pauline seemed to have just worse case of bad luck, when she was a child she stepped on a nail and she was left with a limp forever. "The wound left her with a crooked, archless foot that flopped when she walked….." (110). She tried to put that behind her but she lost three m ...

... the situation. Though the church mandates through its moral code that Hamlet not take revenge, Hamlet tries to find the worst fate for his devious uncle possible: "Now might I do it, now he is a-praying, And now I'll do't and so he goes to heave…When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage, or in th' incestuous pleasure of his bed…Then trip him…And that his soul may be as damned and black As hell, whereto it goes" (3.4.77-100). Hamlet finally gains the nerve to kill his uncle, but sheaths his sword when he realizes that if he kills him while he is praying, his uncle will ascend to heaven. He ultimately decides to kill his uncle when he commits a sin, so that hi ...
... fleeting time of youth. In the beginning, a flower and youth are filled with vitality, but in a short amount of time the flower will wilt and die, and the youth will be an adult on a passage to death. The second symbol used by Herrick and Frost is the day: youth is dawn, adulthood is midday, and death is the setting of the sun. From the day man is born, he is dying. In the second stanza, Herrick illustrates the shortness of a day; the higher in the sky the sun gets, the closer to setting it gets. In line 7, “So dawn goes down to day,” (990) Frost also addresses the limited time man has in life. Frost’s choice of the word down to describe the ...
