Mercutio’s begins the downfall of the tragic story that is Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio plays off the stab from the sword of Tybalt in the stomach as just a “scratch” but this “scratch” kills the beloved character. Mercutio is admired by many in the town of Verona including Romeo, Benvolio, and even the Prince. The Prince is the cousin of Mercutio which means that he does not see a need to punish Romeo, but justice must be served for the death of Tybalt. The loss of Mercutio was hard for many in the town because he was a likable, loved friend and companion to many. But without the death of Mercutio the story Romeo and Juliet would not have been the same story we enjoy reading

The relationship that Mercutio has with Romeo is sturdy in all areas except love. This opposition can clearly be seen when Montague talks about Romeo’s depression over Roseline. “And private in his chamber pens himself, shuts up his windows,

Mrs. Mallard is a woman that is suffering in marriage. We realize that she was not very optimistic about her married life. The night prior to the "death" of her husband, she had quietly prayed for her life to be short. She had reached a point of disillusionment and would gladly welcome death as an option out of the marriage. When she learns that her husband had perished in the train accident, she first reacts by

The em dash in this story suggests Montresor feels remorse but wills it away. But in doing so, proves that perfect revenge is nonexistent. No matter how deep the hatred may be for Fortunato, Montresor is only human and as such, his consciousness and empathy take control of him. This new-found realization and remorse is quickly overcome, regaining his composure by stating his feelings occurred “on account of the dampness of the catacombs” (pg.854). Thus, the em dash displays how quickly the entire mood of a situation can change. Montresor was able to swiftly recover his composure and as a result it would seem as he had no feeling of remorse although, the opposite is true. His remorse is further shown when after 50 years he said “[rest in peace]” (pg.854). Montresor still has some remorse left in him even after this extended period thus his need to ask

Mercutio’s death works as a catalyst for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. From the moment that Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt, the actual tragedy aspect of the play begins. Up to Mercutio’s death, the play follows a rather light-hearted, dramatized tone, but once his death plays out, the plot turns to focus on the misfortunes of the rest of the characters. Following Mercutio’s death, Romeo hints at the disasters to come by saying, “This day’s black fate on more days doth depend. This but begins the woe others must end (3.1.124-125)”. Moments after Mercutio’s death, Romeo is already aware of what troubles will arise. As Mercutio is held as Romeo’s stability, Romeo knows that something will begin from the end of Mercutio. As Mercutio’s death plays out, both Mercutio and Romeo are correct in the sense of their knowledge of Mercutio’s death being held as a catalyst, even if no one else does. If Romeo had died in the fight rather than Mercutio, the tragedy would not have happened, as Mercutio is more levelheaded than Romeo, and would have made sure the situation

6. Philip receives very supportive telegrams like, “Dear Philip, We support your defense of America. Keep on singing. We all join in.” While Allison Dorsett said, “I just wanted to tell you that I think what you did was really mean.” Philip was really depressed because he really liked her. This is not ironic because Philip did not mean for this to happen, it just did.

He mopes, “Give me a torch. I am not for this ambling./ Being but heavy, I will bear the light” (I.iv.11-12), and, “I have a soul of lead./ So stakes me to the ground I cannot move” (I.iv.15-16). The first attempts to cheer him up weren’t successful at all, so Mercutio thought up of the tale of Queen Mab. He then turns it into a speech that didn’t seem like much at first, but it unraveled to showcase the fact that the dreams Romeo had were meaningless and that he needed to let himself be happy. When Mercutio’s monologue is abruptly cut off by Romeo telling him that he “talk’st of nothing” (I.iv.95-96), Mercutio replies in a predicted sardonic tone, “True. I talk of dreams” (I.iv.97). This refers back before the speech when Romeo announced he had a dream. Mercutio wants to try and let the dream pass by as if it were nothing and just enjoy the party. He taunts Romeo for not being able to choose whether he should be happy or depressed over something as meaningless as a

paragraph 1 on line 1 states, “Maman died today. Or maybe yesterday maybe, I don’t know.”

Though fascinated with Alan, as the book progresses, it strays from focus on Alan to Dysart, and more light is shone on Dysart’s own problems. Shaffer gives Dysart numerous monologues, not concerning Alan, but rather, problems and events he has experienced in his own life, though Alan has influenced these events. In his opening monologue, Dysart “keep[s] thinking about the horse! Not the boy: the horse” (Shaffer 9). Shaffer immediately confronts with Dysart’s self-centered nature, for from the beginning, Dysart’s mind would rather think about an animal. Nevertheless, the manipulation of Alan is unintentional, for Dysart does not identify with Alan in order to better himself, but rather to bring to light problems within himself, displaying further his own selfish nature. In contrast with The Stranger, the truth is brought out and presented to its entirety to the audience, but Alan never receives a true diagnosis. It remains up to the reader to decide what went wrong with Alan, and what caused him to stake out the eyes of the horses. On the other hand, all kinds of faults are presented within Dysart, like his impotence, or his inability to find something to become passionate about. Dysart begins to cross the line when asking Alan questions concerning the events leading up to the staking of the horses eyes, to the point of identification with Alan, and eventually, his own demise. His prying continues until he finds himself

One emotion that is evident throughout the texts is that consequence. In the play Romeo has previously abstained from becoming embroiled in the violence that tybalt is trying to get him Engadget in but mercuito Romeo best friend steps in to protect his friend and take his place and fight tybalt from the house of capulet.

Shakespeare allowed this quote to have no rhyme because it 's a foreshadowing quote which is a turning point in the story which highlight to the audience that the two house capulet and montage will suffer from what had happened in that scene because of the death of tybalt from the opposite house the capulets.

(1) ‘I didn’t know what it meant, or even what language it was in….Still, it was a message, and it was in writing, forbidden by that very fact, and it hadn’t yet been discovered. Except by me, for whom it was intended.’ (chapter 9, p. 62)

Albert Camus creates a series of characters in The Stranger whose personality traits and motivations mirror those that are overlooked by the average man. Camus develops various characters and scenarios that are considered rude and unpleasant, but because it has become common, society accepts it as norms. Camus incorporates atrocious personality traits of the characters, variety, consistency, and everyone’s fate through the creation of the characters.

The novel initially begins with Meursault receiving a telegram that mentioned his mother’s death. The narrator provided a detailed step-by-step process of what his next plan was after realizing that he now has to go to a funeral the next day. Despite the fact that this was prior to the actual funeral, Meursault was nonetheless apathetic towards his mother’s passing and did not convey any type of common emotions an ordinary individual would present after finding out about a relative’s death. He acted as if he already experienced finding out about the death of his mother since he failed to show any signs of sympathy or interest. The incorporation of this scene
