... a word, let alone a sentence. Shakespeare also used verbs in both their modern form. For example, hath is the older form of has. He also used both modern pronouns,such as you, and older pronouns, such as thee or thou. His vocabulary basically resembles modern English, but he used many words that are no longer used. That is why, in most adaptions of his plays, you have notes which define complicated words. Special Literary Devices: Shakespeare and other Elizabethan writers enjoyed using rhetoric (also known as literary devices) that present a fact or idea in an interesting way. One familiar kind is alliteration where the same sound is repeated in a line or group of ...

... Therefore, Polyneices is not buried because King Creon believes that an enemy should not have a burial and his family should not to mourn for him. Antigone goes against King Creon’s wishes, and buries and mourns for her brother.

... of this point is in , which is a fine example of a story about the conflict when logic and emotion collide. Set against mid-century America, the book revolves around the murder trial involving a troubled boy and his father. Twelve men, essentially strangers to each other, must decide the fate of this boy-did he let his rage take control in the murder of his father, or is he merely being taken in as the most convenient suspect. In the beginning of the book, the twelve jurors file out of the court room, giving last glances to the defendant. The scene shifts into the jury room, where they slowly settle into their seats under the direction of the over-organized for ...

... my future, my goals my desires, is it too late to discover these passions. I fear life, every night as I lay to sleep, roughly 11:30 PM. I lay with my lights low, as with my music, and think to myself, "what could I have done better?". These questions haunt me till I enter sleep, a time where I let me fears aside and take part in a fantasy only to be interrupted 5 hours later. Unlike some, my dreams are my solitude, I take great pleasure in sleep, a time to relish on the life I may never have, the women I may never have, and the beauty I may never see. Thank you for these dreams. It is slowly killing me. I feel my soul and life falling and receding like my h ...

... being existent to non-existent. Since the passing of Lennie’s aunt, George felt an obligation to take care of Lennie as well as to act as his guardian.

George immediately feels that he is jeopardizing his relationship with other men in order to defend Lennie’s actions. George is further discouraged when he realizes, based on Lennie’s behavior that he can never be left alone- even to go to the bathroom. Lennie can’t even be trusted not to kill puppies while petting them. Lennie, in fact, goes so fa ...

... that "evade reality or rather realize a dream", while "our sympathies go out to those". "It is natural that the fool should be a prominent & attractive figure and make an important contribution to the action" in forming the confusion and the humor in an Elizabethan drama. In Twelfth Night, the clown and the fools are the ones who combine humor & wit to make the comedy work. Clowns, jesters, and Buffoons are usually regarded as fools. Their differences could be of how they dress, act or portrayed in society. A clown for example, "was understood to be a country bumpkin or 'cloun'". In Elizabethan usage, the word 'clown' is ambiguous "meaning both countryman and p ...

... one there" we are given the mother's view of the boy's beach, which in her opinion is "wild looking". This gives us a clear picture of the setting. Additionally, the sentence "He went out fast over the gleaming sand, over a middle region where rocks lay like discolored monsters under the surface, and then he was in the real sea - a warm sea where irregular cold currents from the deep water shocked his limbs" clearly describes the beach where the boy is swimming and how it is seen by him. With the addition of words like "discoloured monsters" and "real sea" we can tell what the boy's feeling are toward his beach which he considers scary but at the same time challen ...

... over women was a prime example of the hamper it placed over every person’s potential. Writing about women allowed him to make a universal call, not only to women, but to every sentient being. His plays cried out for the individual’s emancipation. In A Doll’s House , Ibsen portrayed the altruistic nature instilled into women by society, the consequential stunt of their development, and the need for them to find their own voice in a world dominated by men. For ages, society has taught women to set aside their own needs and to focus on those of her husband and children. Women have been forced to be passive, gentle creatures who must also be ...

... Reynolds, finds two predominant, contrasting strains: the search for gnosis, or spiritual revelation, and the desire to get completely out of it at the weekend. Setting these timeless traits in the context of the up-to-the-minute technology that made rave emblematic of its era-the fragmentary, fast-forward aesthetic, the flexible production and distribution network, the avoidance of personality and narrative in favor of sensation-he comes up with a portrait of hi-tech millennium that resonates well beyond its subculture confines. There are those who might find a book to analyze music that often aims for the effect of a sledgehammer to the head a mite pretentious. Y ...

... develops this consistent style. Another way the author develops his consistent style is in the way he describes certain images. For example, there are a few different occasions where his way of describing what he sees around him are similar to eachother in a way that they all make reference to the fact that the day is going by and it will soon reach dusk. Like when he said “the soft dew of morning which had glistened and twinkled on the blades of grass which grew in clumps by the side of road quietly disappeared.” This indicates that the day is going on. At another point in the story the author makes reference to the shadows saying that they have g ...
