These words are spoken by Mephistopheles, a prince of the underworld who becomes Faustus' servant for twenty-four years after he sells his soul to Lucifer in exchange for unlimited power.

This passage appears in Act 5, Scene 1, where an Old Man appears in front of Faustus an calls him to renounce sourcery and repent, for is not to late to be saved. But Faustus sends him away, and when Mephistopheles appears, he asks the demon to torture the Old Man for offending him.

To this, Mephistopheles responds with these words, meaning that the torture will only be physical, since he cannot touch the man's soul.

Analyze the elements of modernist poetry in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "The Fish."
iVinArrow [24]

In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:

its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age.

Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:

still crimped from the strain and snap

She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:

frayed and wavering,

a five-haired beard of wisdom

trailing from his aching jaw.

I stared and stared

"Batter My Heart" How does the poet use strong verbs to create rhythm and develop the meaning of the poem? Cite specific example
kipiarov [429]
I'm not gonna write out 100 words, but I did find
-Alliteration in one-syllable words such as "break, blow, burn" creates a kind of beat and rhythm, and emphasises the meaning of those words
-There's definitely a lot of "me" in the sonnet, and the line "your viceroy in me, me should defend" uses repetition in "me" to emphasise it of course but also provides a good flow into the next line
