Though, she does with to have power in the relationship she hints at an even larger wish. She wishes for youth and love. Her love for her fifth husband supports this notion, she claims she married him for love and loved him best even though he beat her. His youthfulness made her feel young and when he submitted to her, they were faithful to each other and lived a happy life (Par 4). Another example of her desire for love and youth, was the ending of the tale.

The lovers are in love with themselves being in love. They love each other, but are more preoccupied with being seen as lovers. They often feign mild hatred. She is extremely aware of being watched and plays with the audience for sympathy in their plight and ccasionally flirts with spectators.

The strongest usage of metaphor in this poem is in the first stanza in the line “write their knees with necessary scratches”. While scratches cannot be written, words can, so this insinuates that children learn with nature, and that despite its fading presence in today’s urban structures, it is a necessary learning tool for children. The poet has used this metaphor to remind the reader of their childhood, and how important it is to not just learn from the confines of a classroom, but in the world outside.

Although a positive statement within itself, this metaphor brings upon a negative

Thomas Elsaesser utilizes a variety of metaphors in his novel Film Theory: An Introduction Through the Senses in order in to analyze and interpret an audience’s perception of cinema. As cinema serves as a mechanism for audience members to enter a phantasmatic body, the creators of a film must appeal to the audience in order to engage their curiosity, emotions, and interest. This allows for a viewer to develop expectations and desires, and ultimately draw a conclusion from the film about the real world. Howard Hawks’ 1938 film Bringing Up Baby captures these diegetic elements presented by Elsaesser, especially the comparisons of cinema as a window and frame, eye, ear, and brain. The film defies the traditional romance formula, and instead combines screwball comedy and classic Hollywood cinema

When Beringer discusses that images, metaphors, and symbols serve to relate thought from action, it means that we use those attributes to decipher deeper significance in text than the actual literal meaning. If a reader or researcher were to miss or not understand a symbol, metaphor, or image, they would not have the full scope of the materials they were reading. Not everyone understands every culture’s images, symbols, or metaphors since those attributes tend to be culture-specific. A person living in 12th century Venice would not understand the symbolism of the American frontiersman and log cabin just as not all Americans know the symbolism of the Lion of Saint Mark that appears with a sword and book that is closed or opened. It is imperative

In Voltaire’s Candide, there is a young fellow that falls in love with a lady. She is kidnapped and the protagonist, Candide, embarks on a journey to find his love. I believe that he doesn’t really love this young lady, Cunegonde, he is in love with her looks (or is in lust, if you will). We discover that he really doesn’t love her at the end of the novel, but they still marry. The other female characters have similar backstories and are also seen as a body of desire. The only one that is not seen this way is an old woman. Regardless of age, all of the women have issues or tragic lives. I pity these people that have to live in a position that is seen as inferior to the majority of men. While I pity them, I also see how strong they are, and what they have endured in their lifespan.

When she arrives, she looks forward in seeing, “neat red brick house with matching flowery drapes, the huge, perfectly mowed lawn green like it had been painted, the shiny concrete driveway on which sat two shiny motorcars”(73). However, she is greeted by a, “crowded [apartment] with faded, over stuffed sofas and rickety end tables that look like they’ve come from a larger place...the tiny room I am to occupy - it is the same size as my bathroom at home” (73,74).
