Belle Dame Sans Merci Wuthering Heights
1,033 wordsThe conflicting theme demonstrated throughout Wuthering Heights is remarkably similar to the theme implicit in La Belle Dame sans Merci.

In Wuthering Heights this parallel is shown through Heathcliff, who is vulnerable after falling head over heel for Catherine. Similarly in La Belle Dame sans Merci the Kni...

Much Ado About Nothing The Importance Of Noting
1,169 wordster> Discuss The Importance Of Noting In Much Ado About Nothing Noting, or observing, is central to many of the ideas in Much Ado About Nothing. The word nothing was pronounced as noting in Elizabethan times, and it seems reasonable to presume that the pun was intended by Shakespeare to signal the importance of observation, spying and eavesdropping in the play. As a plot device, these occurrences propel the action and create humour and tension. The perils of noting incorrectly are port...
