Double entendre

that is evoked by elaborate double entendres that reflect the interaction between humans, nature, and the eternal grandeur of God that surpasses Earth, which though temporary, is under constant care from God despite our actions. The first stanza provides an interesting dynamic between creation and man. Hopkins writes, “The world is charged with grandeur of God. / It will flame out, shining from shook foil…” (1-2). The first two lines provide an interesting double entendre. When Hopkins’ writes, “The

demonstrating the capability words have in manipulating perceptions. It is the strategic placement of double-entendres on behalf of DeFlores that greatly affect consequences, as disguising his lustful intents as honesty aids in the damnation of himself and Beatrice. Although deceiving in nature only to Beatrice, through the insertion of asides, only the audience remains knowledgeable of these entendres, causing troublesome irony. Furthermore, it is the manipulation of language that really accentuates

but eventually meet back up to murder Earl, the abusive husband of Wanda. Using double entendres, strong imagery, and a light tone, Linde and the Dixie Chicks conveyed the strength of Southern women through their song, but also created controversy with a divisive music video. By naming one of the characters Mary Anne, the writer immediately evokes a sense of Southern lineage. Almost unheard of in other regions, double names are incredibly popular in the American south. On the other hand, the name

clearly bogus one for simply wearing a bracelet that offended a faculty member’s fragile sensibilities. Then the school changing the reasoning for suspension to be that the word “boobies” has a “Sexual double entendre” is just them grasping for straws as nearly every word can be a “sexual double entendre” depending on the context in which it’s used and really why should anybody care if it is anyway. Even if the school contains a policy regarding things that may considered

The crude humor and double entendre the commercial unveils is just obscene for the prime time television market. The commercial begins with “the host” Denese Sinclaire a attractive brunette, who comes onto the set of what looks like a infomercial to advertise an new Axe product

When considering these devices alongside Claudius’ and Polonius’ attitude toward and treatment of Ophelia, the reader can see that this passage is not simply about Hamlet’s outburst at Ophelia. The motifs, structure, double entendres, and other devices used throughout the passage highlight the negative treatment of Ophelia by the other characters and ultimately foreshadow her eventual decline in mental health and suicide. The passage begins with Ophelia crying out “O heavenly

The idea of using sexual imagery to boost products sales and company revenue is defiantly not a new one. Tom Reichert from the University of Alabama wrote in his article A review of Content, Effects, and Functions of Sexual Information in Consumer Advertising that as early as 1885 W. Duke & Sons placed trading cards in cigarette packs that had sexually provocative ladies on them to try and boost sales. The company seemed to be successful with the promotion and by 1890 they were one of the leading

Melville describes Billy in a sexual manner within the first few pages, introducing the sexual language almost immediately. He is the “handsome sailor” compared to the “young Alexander” and the “fiery Bucephalus” (Melville 6). Further down the same page he is described as, “always attractive in masculine conjunction” and goes under the nickname “Baby Budd” (Melville 6). There is immediately a sense of sexual attraction attached to the title character. He is described in sexual terms and presented

Wordplay is used extensively in all of Oscar Wilde’s plays, and perhaps never more so than in The Importance of Being Earnest, where every scene is peppered with double entendres, puns and aphorisms. The world of the play is a high parody of Victorian society at the time – it both follows the rules and doesn’t; norms are undermined through wordplay, and language is endlessly adaptable through puns and paradoxes. Sos Eltis notes of the characters in this play that “nothing stands in the way of their
