... the hints of tragedy increased the suspense and irony of the play. For example, when Juliet looks upon Romeo and says; “O God, I have an ill-diving soul! Methinks I see them, now thou art below As one dead in the bottom of a thumb. ” (Act III, Scene V, lines 54-56) thus pointing out the hints of tragic death. Romeo and Juliet is also a play which is full of anger, passion, and death. The secrecy of the marriage of Romeo and Juliet pointed out a form of dramatic irony. This is shown by Juliet’s “ double-edged ”phrases when Lady Capulet is denouncing Romeo. For exampl ...

... as her father died when she was only eight. In the poem Daddy, Plath, as the speaker, is having a one-way conversation with her father expressing all her feelings, anguish and how she tried to compensate for his death. The poem itself bares no metaphorical reading, only a literal reading which is broken up into three parts. A common technique that Plath uses in her poetry is the metaphor. An example of one lies within the first stanza of Daddy. Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white Barely daring to breathe or Achoo. Here the persona uses the simile "like a ...

... in Sommersby are Jack Sommersby (Horace Townsend), Laurel Sommersby, and Orin Meecham. John Proctor is like Laurel Sommersby in the sense that they have both committed the sin of adultery. Jack Sommersby is much like Elizabeth Proctor because they both have their reasons to believe their spouse is cheating on them, but don’t have the concrete evidence to confront their spouse. And the relationship between the two couples can be described in the same way; they are very uncomfortable around each other. Orin is similar to Abigail Williams because they are the ones that are having the affair with either Laurel or ...

... his own, it is like the other part of his body is George, they cannot do without each other. Which brings me on to Georges character. He is a small, skinny, quick and clever sort of guy, who leads Lennie around by the nose. He makes it look like he doesn’t need Lennie, but he does, to make him feel secure he needs Lennie. Anyway, where was I ? Oh that’s right, they go from place to place, to ranch to ranch, making a bit of money here and a bit of money there. Their one lifelong dream is to one day make enough money, to get a ranch of their own. So they one day come across a ranch where they plan to wor ...

... coast, the boy almost loses his voice by singing “communist songs the entire journey.� (129) By his singing songs about “mournful mothers looking through graves for their dead sons� and “the revolution� the boy demonstrates his naivity. He is, after all, just a young boy. His limited life experience is shown in his singing such songs, without understanding the full meanings and connotations that those songs carry. The boys’ innocence is emphasized here, as these are ‘adult’ songs and it is only, generally, children who sing on car journeys until their voices are gone. Even before ...

... cushion, Both warbling of one song, both in one key," (Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 205 - 206) To some people, Helena and Hermia became the same person, saying the same things, thinking the same thoughts and having the same morals and principles. "As if our hands, our sides, voices, and minds Had been incorporate. So we grew together," (Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 207-208) Behaving in the same way, they spent as much time as possible together. This time passed quickly, whilst the time spent apart was slow and seemed pointless. "When we have chid the hasty-footed time For parting us-O, is all forgot?" (Act 3, Scene 2, Lin ...

... rhythm of the heroic couplet. The caesura, the end-stopped lines, and the perfect rhymes lend the exact amount of manners and gaiety to his work. Writing for a society that values appearances and social frivolities, he uses these various modes of behavior to call attention to the behavior itself. Pope compares and contrasts. He places significant life factors (i.e., survival, death, etc.) side by side with the trivial (although not to Belinda and her friends: love letters, accessories). Although Pope is definitely pointing to the "lightness" of the social life of the privileged, he also recognizes the ...

... he is very successful and extremely popular. "They don't need me in New York. I'm New England man. I'm vital in New England" (act one,p.14).

Willy replies, "they're working on a very big deal" Howard remarks, "this is no time for false pride, Willy you go to your sons and you tell them that you're tired. You've got two great boys, haven't you?". After willy is fired, he discovers that the only person he can borrow ...

... to almost anything. The most logical time to make an attack would definitely be after nightfall. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, is night's correlation with evilness. As children, we were all afraid of nasty monsters that lurked in the darkness of night. The night has long been believed to host supernatural beings and occurrences. As I read the play and came upon the word "night," I was surprised to discover that all four aspects of my hypothesis were correct. First, in act I, we see the first usage, night as a period for rest and revitalization. In scene iii, lines 19-23, the First Witch says, Sleep sha ...
