...Olivia uses language to hint at the fact that she loves Cesario but at the same time Viola is using language to hint at the fact she is indeed a woman. We see hints of Olivia falling for Cesario as she sends away Maria, "Give us the place alone.", which makes the audience question why she wants no one else present. She then, clearly impressed by Cesario, tries to impress him too; She uses her beauty. She unveils, "we will draw the curtain" to "show (him) the picture". Just like with Feste, we see that Olivia likes Cesario's cheekiness and boldness. We know this because she let's Cesario get away with being rude, only commenting, "Yet you began rudely." Another interpretation of this is that at the beginning of the meeting Olivia isn't impressed by Viola/Cesario's boldness, but by the end has warmed up to 'him' and stops treating 'him' as a servant, or another one of Orsino's messengers whom she finds annoying. "From the count Orsino, is it?" "We'll once more hear Orsino's embassy." In this interpretation she goes from using a more reserved tone, answering little to Viola's long texts, "Tell me your mind." to using a more interested tone, "What is your parentage?" The shift in her feelings are due to how Viola presents herself and uses her language to give Orsino's message in a different way. Instead of reading his script, "Most sweet lady -", she speaks from the heart, "If I did love you in my master's flame…" Unfortunately, this makes Olivia fall in love with her. Yet during...

...Theme of Love in Othello - Act 1 The theme of love is an important element to any Shakespearean tragedy, and Othello is no different. From the start it is made apparent that Roderigo is in love with ‘Desdemona’, but she is married to the “moor”, Othello. When Brabantio is told that his daughter is with the moor, he says “It is too true an evil. Gone she is. And what’s to come of my despised timeIs naught but bitterness” he is saying that now she has gone, his life will be nothing but bitterness. This shows the love he has for his daughter. The mere thought of loosing his daughter makes him hysterical. He immediately questions the moors motives. “Is there not charms by which the property of youth and maidhood may be abused?” He is saying that Othello used ‘magical spells’ to lead his daughter astray and stole her innocence. The fact that he hastily jumped to this conclusion proves that his love for his daughter has blinded him. He is refusing to acknowledge the fact that she may of actually been willing to marry this man and have any sort of consenting sexual relations with him. Although we hear a lot about Othello and Desdemona’s relationship, it is not until scene 2 that we hear Othello’s account of their relationship, which is eminently different. He tells the story of how him and Desdemona met; Brabantio “oft invited” him into their home and he would tel them the stories of his past. He states that she instigated the conversation as she was inquisitive about...

...The Man Who Loved Flowers The Man who loved flowers is short story about a young handsome man, who wants to surprise a girl named Norma by giving her some flowers. The story takes place in New York on a beautiful day in May 1963 where everything seems lovely, but it turns out that the young handsome man ends up killing a random girl, who he thinks is Norma, in a narrow lane in New York’s streets. The main character in The Man Who Loved Flowers is described as a handsome young in love. In the beginning of the story he seems like a guy whose life runs perfectly, he is suited up, he is in love and he just seems like a stand up guy “He was dressed in alight grey suit, the narrow tie pulled down a little, his top collar button undone. His hair was dark and cut short”. There is nothing suspicious about him. Stephen King tricks the reader into thinking that it is a perfect evening; maybe the young guy is going to propose to this Norma? “He reached into his coat pocket and touched something in there. For a moment his ace seemed puzzled, lonely, almost haunted, an then, as his hand left the pocket, it regained its former expression of eager expectation.” But when the young man finally meets this girl, who turns out not to be Norma, we find out that Norma has been dead for ten years. I believe that the young man ones has had a lover named Norma, who he thought was the only one but she died and he was forced to live on with that, but couldn’t accept it. Therefore he is now walking...

...ENGL-154 Paper #2 Aarthi Ramesh ‘David’s Un-Happy Ending’ Loneliness is a central theme governing the interactions of the characters pertaining to the novel, Giovanni’s Room. David’s words are a source of wisdom for why loneliness so frequently follows the actualization of love. He says, “With this fearful intimation there opened in me a hatred for Giovanni which was as powerful as my love and which was nourished by the same roots” (p 84). Baldwin perhaps is trying to hint at the thin line separating what we perceive as love from that which we perceive as hate. Similarly, we can identify these components within the pages of Baldwin’s novel. In David, we find a most emphatically unpleasant and disagreeable protagonist; he is often seen as unsympathetic, and almost cruel. Yet, depictions such as, “I felt sorrow and shame and panic and great bitterness” paint a picture of an individual to whom, we must all admit to being able to relate. This stylistic quality, noted by its use of subtlety and skill of realistic depiction of certain elements of personality that are irrefutably universal, and consequently human, betrays a prose that is characteristically, and uniquely, Baldwin. Such being the case, we find in David, a protagonist who is simultaneously intriguing and reprehensible; the consequence of which is an engaging narrative of self-discovery. This curious dichotomy of emotions that David’s character evokes within...

...However, contrary to Paris’ belief, Juliet does not love him back, hence the reason that Shakespeare has him die. Juliet hints to Paris at different parts of the play that she does not love him. For instance, she says, “To answer that, I should confess to you.” (Act 4, Scene 1, Line 24) She is saying this to Paris after he, (Paris), asks if she has confessed to her father yet. Juliet responds by saying that is she says anything to anyone, she shall say it to Paris, and she shall say that she does not love him. Despite this major hint that Juliet gives Paris, he still thinks that she loves him. Paris is killed in the play by Romeo to show him that he will never be with...

...In the Mark’s Gospel, Jesus taught his disciples a lot of life principles. Through various miracles and events, Jesus showed his disciples how they should act to be his followers. He guided his disciples to have different qualities, such as to have faith in God, to love, to trust, to be compassionate and to forgive. To begin with, Jesus fed the four thousand by multiplying loaves and fish, teaching his disciples that they need to have faith, to love and to have compassion for others. Jesus called his disciples and said ‘I should not send them home hungry’ (Mark 8:3). This reflects Jesus taught his disciples to love and to be compassionate for others. Jesus loves his people and hope to give the best to them, which echoes one of the biggest commandment in the Bible ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself’. Although Jesus’s disciples started to question how Jesus could manage to “get enough bread to feed all these people as they are far from town” (Mark 8:4), Jesus successfully performed a miracle by praying to God and multiplying loaves and fish. He saved the four thousand from hunger. As a matter of fact, Jesus actually shows his disciples miracles could happen if we have enough faith. could happen if we have true faith....

...The Going, the first of the 1912-1913 poems on the death of Emma Hardy on 27 November, 1912 Why did you give no hint that night That quickly after the morrow's dawn, And calmly, as if indifferent quite, You would close your term here, up and be gone Where I could not follow With wing of swallow To gain one glimpse of you ever anon! Never to bid good-bye Or lip me the softest call, Or utter a wish for a word, while I Saw morning harden upon the wall, Unmoved, unknowing That your great going Had place that moment, and altered all. as if you didn’t care end your time alive ever anon – ever again lip me – give, with your lips Why do you make me leave the house And think for a breath it is you I see At the end of the alley of bending boughs Where so often at dusk you used to be; Till in darkening dankness The yawning blankness Of the perspective sickens me! You were she who abode By those red-veined rocks far West, You were the swan-necked one who rode Along the beetling Beeny Crest, And, reining nigh me, Would muse and eye me, While Life unrolled us its very best. Why, then, latterly did we not speak, Did we not think of those days long dead, And ere your vanishing strive to seek That time's renewal? We might have said, "In this bright spring weather We'll visit together Those places that once we visited." the cliffs near St Juliot, Cornwall swan-necked – long beautiful neck beetling - projecting ere - before Well, well!

...Comparison between ‘Lullaby’ and ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore’ Love often results in physical passion, and as time went on – the description and depth of passion have been more explicitly explored. In Lullaby, Auden presents a post coital situation, which is suggested by the title, as well as the phrase ‘sleeping head’, on the other hand the extract from Tis Pity She’s a Whore reaches its climax by the strong suggestions of consummation of the relationship of Annabella and Giovanni. Although the two differ in the timings of physical action, both of the writings offer language full of sexual as well as passionate connotations. Auden, illustrates the force of passion between him and his lover with ‘ Soul and body have no bounds’ as well as ‘ not a whisper, not a thought, not a kiss nor look be lost’. The repetition of ‘not’ in these two lines, might hint to a fact that the lovers need to savour every moment with each other in fear of a negative force. This phrase might hold a greater meaning as the tone of it suggests that the poet is torn between the reality and the kind of passion – still condemned in wider societies. The tone of illicit and sinful affair is set in Ford’s text as well, by the language such as ‘ suppressed the hidden flames’ where Ford uses natural imagery to present the sheer force of Giovanni’s passion, or Annabella’s ‘For every sigh thou hast spent for me, I have sighed ten’ crying back to her brother. In contrast with Auden’s poem Ford can not afford, in XVII century...

...In John Sayles’ Lone Star, the main character Sheriff Sam Deeds is deeply in love with a teacher name Pilar Cruz. Their relationship did not start as adults, but when they were still children way back in high school. Although their relationship might seem to be a normal man-woman relationship, we see that there is more to this unusual relationship. Throughout the movie Sayles hints at this unusual relationship such as when Pilar says, “I was on the playground with all the other kids, but I thought he was only looking at me.” This shows that she was special, different from the rest of her peers and hints at the ending of the movie. By the end, we see that the two are actually siblings. John Sayles uses their unusual relationship to challenge the way we and society view sexual taboos and makes us question what is a sexual taboo and what makes it so wrong. A sexual taboo is a “code” created by society that should never be broken and in the case of Sam Deeds and Pilar’s, they have broken the sexual taboo of incest. They fell in love as kids and continued to carry that love within them, even after they have been separated for a long period of time. Although they have broken this taboo, the blame cannot be put on them. Near the end of the movie, Sam says, “Yeah, and my mother was a saint. For fifteen years the whole damn town knew he had another woman on the side. Stole ten thousand dollars to set her up in business. But hell, what's that? You got a problem? Buddy'll fix it. Facing...

...The other mother also eats weird food, like black beetles, which hints the reader that the other mother has a hint of evilness in her. When Coraline disrespects her, she throws Coraline into a magic prison that hides behind a mirror in the bathroom, which shows her evilness is starting to show up. Also, when the black cat scratched the other mother’s face, black substance poured out of her face, showing some signs of evilness in her. In the story of ‘Coraline’, the theme of family was evident throughout the book. At the start of the book, Coraline has two different families: Her “real” parents, and her “other” parents. Her real parents don’t necessarily care about her as much as the other parents. For example, Coraline’s real father ignores her because he is too busy on his computer all day long, and her real mother is always fed up with her. Coraline’s other parents feed her better food than her real parents, and they also treat her with more respect. Even though her Coraline’s real parents neglected her, they still love her. And even though her other parents appear to be nice, they are tricking her, they treat Coraline like a dragon loves his...

...ram’ – together they create a ‘beast with two backs’. This comparison both reinforces the idea that Desdemona has made an ‘unnatural’ choice and casts Othello in a repugnant role to the audience as a ‘lustful’ predator – even before having met him. The reduction of the Desdemona-Othello match to, through the unpleasant animal imagery, one of bestial sexuality, renders their relationship as one of alien in the eyes of audience – even before having met them. HOWEVER COULD BE ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATION – The animal imagery Iago employs when speaking of Desdemona’s sexual union with Othello is keeping in with his earlier sneering reference to Cassio being ‘damned in a fair wife’. Shakespeare perhaps suggest Iago is crude and unable to understand love, or loving relationships – to him woman are a possession which ‘must be locked safe in [one’s] house’. Therefore to a contemporary audience: distrust any former view of Othello and Desdemona’s relationship which Iago has portrayed. Jacobean audience: further the ‘revolt’ of the Desdemona-Othello match. * Presented through Brabantio: * Act 1, Scene 2 * Presented through Iago and Brabantio: * The coarse imagery Iago used in Act 1 to describe the sexual union of Othello and Desdemona continues. Iago makes a crude joke when he tells Cassio that Othello has ‘boarded a land carrack’. By using a metaphor of piracy, Iago is degrading Othello and thus echoing Brabantio’s accusation that he is...

The flame is consumed. IV. Couplet: The lesson “To love that well which thou must leave ere long.” Conclusion: Shakespeare presents the problem of diminishing youth, and likens it to the end of the year, then to the end of a day, and finally to a fire smoldering out. Each quatrain adds perspective in light of the other to bring about the right emotional response needed for Shakespeare to present his theme. Shakespeare’s Metaphorical Comparison of Fading Youth in “That Time of Year” William Shakespeare in “That Time of Year” metaphorically compares his fading youth with the time of year when there are a few leaves left on the tree, when the sunsets and vanishes away, and finally as a fire that has consumed all that has fed its flame. He resolves the sonnet with a lesson in the end “To love that well which thou must leave ere long.” (14) In the first quatrain, Shakespeare compares the fading of his youth to a particular time of year when there are a few leaves left on the tree. Metaphorically he is representing how life is like the seasons of a year. At birth, babies blossom like...
