In Much Ado About Nothing, wit was the down fall to many of the characters, but it was also used to provide the audience with comedic relief. Beatrice‘s and Benedick’s pride in their cleverness, Claudio’s assumptions and gullibleness, and Dogberry’s lack or wit and intelligence lead to the misunderstandings and Discoveries throughout the play (Dennis 224). Dennis is saying that each character had a fatal flaw that Shakespeare highlighted by having something terrible or having something ironic happen to them. This shows how he used the elements and levels of wit to captivate the audience by leaving the characters blind to what was really going on. The audience knew the plan for Beatrice and Benedick, but their own confidence in their wit betrayed them.
In the poem Dover Beach, the themes is that, people have good and bad times in life. The poem has many rhetorical devices such as personification, allusions, simile, repetition, imagery, and rhyme. The devices helped the writes get the theme across or the meaning of the story. The reason why I think the theme of the poem is there is bad and good times in life because in the first stanza the tone happy, the second stanza it is melancholy, the third stanza the tone remorse and the last stanza is sorrow.
In a tragedy, the protagonist’s (who is noble and powerful) life goes from good to bad. Some examples of acclaimed tragedies are Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare) The main distinction between comedy and tragedy is that the comedy is a entertaining story with a glad ending while a tragedy is a thoughtful story with a morbid ending. We have to notice that ever Shakespearean Tragedy is unique in its way. There are very few observations which one may make about one of them which are applicable to others ( A.C.
Wallace Stevens once said, “Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container,” Stevens was one of America’s most respected poet. Along with poetry he also enjoyed philosophy, he loved to mix reality with his creative imagination. In the quote above, Stevens is using metaphors to describe human nature. Human nature is a tricky thing and can be described in many different ways.
Hilda Doolittle and Edgar Poe are amazing writers yet two distinctive writers. Edgar Poe expresses about her outer beauty, yet Hilda Doolittle expresses her inner beauty, how Greece despises it. For instance, in the poem “To Helen “ by Edgar Poe it said “Thy hyacinth hair , thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home”,the author used an alliteration with “hyacinth hair”,but he compared her hair to a flower and her face structure being elegant, gorgeous. Evenmore, “Naiads” are water spirits, said to be very beautiful just like his description of Helen. On the other hand, the other poem “Helen” by H.D., is a hatred poem.
However, despite the theme of love the two poems turn out to have a bitter ending; an ending that, once again, is unexpected. The most obvious similarity between the two poems is the use of an original and definitely uncommon extended metaphor. In Chua’s poem, the metaphor relies on the fish and mainly on the fish bowl. The fish represent two lovers’ feelings; how his lover “swallows his charms hook, line and sinker” (stanza 2, line 10-11) and how “her love’s […] gone belly-up.

According to the text, “ Young Aubigny’s rule was a strict one, too, and under it his negroes had forgotten how to be gay…” (Chopin Pg 2). Later in the story it states “ Armand is the proudest father... he hasn’t punished one of them since the baby was born... he only laughed” (Chopin Pg 2).
Kino hurts the one thing he cares about, driven by the “perfect” phantasm his perfect pearl could create. Through this, Steinbeck sends the message about the evil of greed to teach readers to enjoy the items and people of which they already have rather than materialistic items. Even since Steinbeck’s time, many people were persuaded by riches and greedy thoughts similar to society today. Without a doubt, the critical messages Steinbeck shares with his readers allow his books to act as a relevant source
The Great Gatsby has a way of telling an enthralling story that captivates readers, while exemplifying important life lessons. Firstly, Nick’s opening narration is iconic, and maybe one of the best beginnings ever: “In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since: Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” We see that Nick is gentle and never underestimate anyone, which makes him the only one to sympathize with Gatsby. Nick 's open-mindedness gives him a deeper perspective on the people around him and protects him from falling subject to the glitzy, superficial materialism of the 1920s.
If it had got to him he would have never killed himself. When Juliet awoken from the potion and saw that Romeo was dead
Laden with innuendos, ironies, and intricate wordplay, Shakespeare’s plays are rarely what they initially appear to be. Rather, it takes several readings to be able to barely scratch the surface of all the possible interpretations. Moreover, not everything is black or white, but possible variations of gray. This topsy-turvy approach is encapsulated in the overall outline of Shakespearean comedy, which are typically set during a period of festivities, such as the festivals A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night are appropriately named after. An average festival is usually comprised of chaos through the reversal of the traditional order and rejection of social norm.
Through the use of the theme of deception through appearance, the film Some Like it Hot is a natural descendant of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. In both works, characters change their appearance to deceive others into thinking they are a completely different person. The three types of deception that occur in both stories are intentional deception, accidental deception, and self deception, all through the characters changing their appearance.
