Queen Elizabeth Monologue Analysis

It was summer time, and twilight. We were sitting on the porch of the farm-house, on the summit of the hill, and "Aunt Rachel" was sitting respectfully below our level, on the steps, -- for she was our servant, and colored. She was of mighty frame and stature; she was sixty years old, but her eye was undimmed and her strength unabated. She was a cheerful, hearty soul, and it was no more trouble for her to laugh than it is for a bird to sing. She was under fire, now, as usual when the day was done. That is to say, she was being chaffed without mercy, and was enjoying it. She would let off peal after peal of laughter, and then sit with her face in her hands and shake with throes of enjoyment which she could no longer get breath enough to express.

In 1588, Queen Elizabeth I of England uses the first person point of view to deliver a speech to her troops during an invasion from Spain. The purpose of this speech is to make the troops to have faith in wining the war. In order to achieve this purpose, Queen Elizabeth I uses diction and specific sentence structure in her speech.

Abigail didn't belong here. She knew that now after she had finally freed herself from that medicine they forced on her. She was finally herself again...for the most part. Now she had learned a lesson, she couldn't let herself feel anything or else she'd give herself away. They'd know if she wasn't acting like a complete zombie...so she had to take precautions. Starting with keeping to herself and not interacting with any lowlife scum who would upset her. She needed to get out of here, but she needed help. Or at the very least, cover.

fight even against prevailing odds. Elizabeth is able to rally the troops by addressing her strengths and weaknesses, assuaging any doubt that she would run away, and by claiming each and every man would be rewarded for their efforts on the battlefield.

Katarina is the person that first comes to my mind when I think of the sang " to not judge someone without getting to know him or her first". She is judged by everyone in her school and she had next to no friends. Everyone just rights her off as a terrible person without even giving her a chance. An example of this when the teacher gave out that one assignment and she as really pleased about it. When she expressed her happiness with the assignment she was just shut down again by her own teacher. This also happens when Joey Donner makes fun of her every day in class. He calls her names and pokes fun at the things she likes. He judges her because she is an easy target to pick on because she is different and she speaks her mind. When Joey sees her at the party when she was going wild he didn’t want to help her but used it as another excuse or make fun of her. Once you get to know her she turned out to be a really pleasant person.

Richard and I go to breakfast and we talk, or should I say Richard talked about his job,money and even about the damn Market crash. While he was talking,I kept hoping James would come in to save me. Breakfast ends and we go our separate ways.

Dear K., there’s a mosquito stain between the pages of your book, a streak of platelets beside my index finger. The broken microscopic cells have escaped the hurly-burly of the wide aorta, the stark unholy flow through veins and tubules. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mistake anatomy for emotion.

I don't know when this message will get to you. I don't know when I'll send it. I guess it will probably be over the phone because making you wait for a physical copy would just be really cruel. You see, yesterday I went off the rails. I exploded on you and then I poured my heart out to you. I have never felt such a huge wave of emotion in my life. When I poured my heart out to you, you comforted me. I wish you didn't. I really do. All you did was give me false hope for what was about to happen. After I came back and calmed down, I realized you still didn't care. You were just going to do the same thing and give me the same reasoning. I told you what I wanted. I told you that you could really do what you want. Instead of just agreeing,

VICTOR: Doctor, I need your help. Gloria hasn’t spoken to me since her mother died. I don’t know what to do anymore. She hasn’t eaten, she hasn’t said anything except to ask where her mother is. With Maria’s history, I just want to make sure the same incident doesn’t happen to my little girl.

I understand that you don't want to discuss the situation you're going through with Eli. Of course, my heart breaks not only because you're my daughter, but I completely understand how you feel because I've been through the same thing many times when I was a teenager. It sucks, it hurts, it makes you mad and it makes you very confused. I know you thought everything was good with the two of you even though you were arguing for a month, but you never expected him to break up with you. People who really care about each other sometimes break up because they just figure it's the best thing to do at the time. If you both talked and agreed that you cared enough about each other to make changes then you would be back together by now.

There is trouble in the waters. I hear it in the echoes of the Great Sea, and I sound out the depths of Turukanò’s heart and hear the same unrest.

(Les is sitting at his dining table in the dark having a cup of tea and discerning his disagreement with Alan)

“When I received this [Coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm, and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”” Unfortunately these words had become spasmodically through her reign as Queen. Queen Elizabeth was in a constant battle with Parliament for her to marry and leave an heir to the throne. She never married and did indeed die a virgin. Queen Elizabeth was often depicted in many paintings as a virgin and being of purity, of being of royalty, of strong political mind and striving for peace amongst her kingdom. The depiction of the Queen’s

What is interesting about this passage is that it is a monologue about why Bassanio does not choose the golden casket, yet Shakespeare does not give monologue to the other two caskets. The emphasis upon one casket implies that this monologue serves a greater purpose than simple justification of Bassanio’s choice. Since it is the gold casket rather than silver and lead we can make the inference that Shakespeare is portraying a message about greed or materialism. We already know the casket itself tells the opener (the Moroccan prince); “all that glistens is not gold” . The use of this prior to the passage in 3.2 indicates to the audience that Shakespeare is using the casket to convey notions of greed. Within the passage itself Shakespeare shows Bassanio to reflect upon worldly greed in the lines "The world still deceived by ornament" and later “Hiding the grossness with fair ornament” . The use of “ornament” in these lines suggests that when Bassanio is talking of greed he does not just mean the want of money or gold, but lavishness. Bassanio’s denouncement of greed as something that “obscures the show of evil” supports the side of an argument which states The Merchant of Venice that Shakespeare shows antisemitism in his writings as the Christian characters are shown to be more invested in relationships whereas Shylock,

Throughout all of Queen Elizabeth’s writing, such as her speeches, she demonstrates all the qualities of an influential and inspiring leader. Time and time again, she proves that she can be just as much of a leader than any man, an incredible feat even in the present day. The undermining of women in the workplace did not start with Queen Elizabeth and it did not end with her. Her advisers were constantly telling her how to lead, what she should do in regards to the relationship with other nations, but she truly became a leader of England when she took matters into her own hands; she no longer needed to be told what to do, which is what set her apart and above other queens. “I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general”. This quote is one of the most inspirational and memorable pieces of rhetoric from her speech “Speech to The Troops at Tilbury”. She uses convoluted metaphors, imagery, and diction in her writing and its one of the most essential things that make her into a great queen.
