The soliloquies create a romantic, intimate mood.

Answer:

The answer is indeed C) The soliloquies create a romantic, intimate mood.

Explanation:

A soliloquy takes place when characters speak their thoughts out loud, usually believing they are alone and, therefore, not being heard. In the famous Shakespearean tragedy "Romeo and Juliet", those very characters fall in love with each other even though they come from rival families.

In Act II, scene II, Romeo begins to speak to himself as he sees Juliet up in a balcony. His soliloquy expresses how romantic his feelings are toward her; he talks of her beauty and innocence, claims the moon envies Juliet, and her eyes shine brighter than the stars. Juliet also begins to speak her thoughts, not knowing Romeo is listening. She expresses her love for him as well, and wishes he would change or let go of his name (his family) so that the two of them can be together. As we can see, their soliloquies are romantic, and end up creating more intimacy between the characters. After hearing Juliet's thoughts, Romeo talks to her, saying his love for her is enough to make him face her family.

In the poem “Afterwards,” Hardy uses figurative language, including euphemism, to develop meaning and tone. What is the meaning
Ne4ueva [31]
In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.

Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").

The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.

Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."

Which choice best describes the use of sound devices to reinforce meaning in lines 24–26 of “A Lecture upon the Shadow”?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The sound device shows how helpless love is in relation to time. As time passes, love declines.

Explanation:

The poem talks about the changes that love goes through over the years and how the love of many is diminished and ended over time. Lines 24-26 report this with greater emphasis, through the use of rhymes that impose a musicality and a feeling that time is moving rhythmically. This shows the pressure of time on love, as it reinforces the idea that love can decline if it is not used soon.
