Point Of View Literary Devices
675 words
A readers's first guess at Elizabeth Barret
Browning's poem. "How I love thee" would be that
it is a love poem. This assumption is correct as a
love poem is a lyric, i. e. an expression of
feelings, and thoughts by a speaker in a personal
and subjective fashion. In this poem literary
devices and language strongly used to assist the
reader is the correct comprehension of the theme
of the work. In this poem the theme is love. This
theme is approached with a question, "How do I
love thee?" This abr...

In Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" the
mortal teenage characters fall in love foolishly,
and the character Bottom states, "O what fools
these mortals be." They are foolish because they
act like children. Although Lysander, Hermia,
Demetrius, and Helena appear grown-up, when they
are in love they a...

Hamlet And Ophelia Hamlet Love
1,015 words
Hamlet/Ophelia True Love Betrayed I would have to
strongly disagree with Nicole's interpretation of
Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship. They were most
certainly lovers. Hamlet did without question
offer Ophelia "tenders" of his affection, and we
know this because she must return them to Hamlet.
In addition, we also have the letter read from
Polonius to Claudius and Gertrude in which Hamlet
writes to Ophelia I did love thee once. So indeed,
Hamlet did love Ophelia, and evidence is also in
the play...

ter> As an actor, select one character from The
Tempest and discuss how you would create the role,
bearing in mind its function in the plot and its
relationship to other characters. I have
chosen Caliban to discuss, since, as an actor, I
find him the most interesting character and thus
the most enjoyable to discuss. Caliban's function
in the plot is one that is difficult to define. He
is not the key protagonist, since this title

Literary Analysis Of Shakespeare A Midsummer Night Dream
1,397 words
The literary tool known as mirroring helps to
emphasize a particular point or idea by repeating
it throughout the text. In William Shakespeare's A
Midsummer Nights Dream Shakespeare mirrors the
element of foolishness to bring together three
very different worlds; the romantic world of the
aristocratic lovers, the workday world of the
tradesmen, and the fairy world of Titania and
Oberon. As result, Shakespeare creates a world of
silly people acting in nonsensical fashion and it
is this dream like...

which offer instruction to the king. Look for
connection the play makes between Lears fool and
the other fools in the play Cordelia, Kent, and
Poor Tom. King Lears fool is undoubtedly one of
the wisest characters in the play. He is not only

Mistress Eyes Human Beings

In the poems Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers

Sun, William Shakespeare compares his loved ones
to nature. He uses natural elements in order to

However, the poet comes to the conclusion that
despite the fact that nature is more perfect than
human beings, he loves his lovers more than nature
for the unique qualities that human beings have
over nature. Already from the titles of the poems,

SUMMARY OF ANDROMAQUE No ordinary surprise awaited
the audience assembled at the Bourgogne when
Racine's Andromache made its appearance. In
addition to being a tragedy of the order so long
desired in vain, it was to them what the Cid had
been to their progenitors in the days of
Richelieu, the sudden revelation of a genius
previously unsuspected. In framing his plot,
Racine deviated very widely from the legend of the
captivity of Hectors widow and son at the palace
of Pyrrhus, king of Epirus. Thr...
