Duncan addresses the crowd with "sons, kinsmen, thanes" (1.4), and in his final speech Malcolm repeats the greeting by saying "my thanes and kinsmen" (5.8), the echoing of this address shows that Malcolm holds the same level of respect and care for his people as his father did. He welcomes everyone into his speech--as Duncan did earlier--and makes it clear that he appreciates and respects each of them by increasing their titles. Duncan in the beginning similarly showed his appreciation to Macbeth, Banquo, and Malcolm--by giving more titles to Macbeth, jewels to Banquo, and the title of "Prince of Cumberland" to Malcolm. The way that they handle the traitor (the Thane of Cawdor first and then Macbeth at the end) also is similar. They make it clear that they had trusted those men, but that those who fell into their evil or ran from them will not be punished. This shows more of how caring and kind they are in their position as king.
Malcolm's speech unifies the play in a couple of ways. Thematically we get to see that theme of power, ambition, and fate vs free will come full circle. Malcolm was named next for the throne, and then Macbeth derailed that through the course of the play by trying to take his fate into his own hands. Malcolm's speech as he becomes king shows that his position was inevitable and that power and ambition can only get a character so far before he falls. King was always going to be Malcolm's fate, it just took longer for that to happen.
The children must hide their love from their families. In the end, the children die as a result of their love. The love between the children is forbidden.
In "Pyramus and Thisbe" the parents simply do not want their children falling in love with each other. We do not know the reason for this and are not told of any feud or conflict. This means that any option that has to do with a conflict between the families should not be chose. Since the children have to hide their love from the families in both pieces of literature, it is safe to say that love between them is forbidden. In the end, Pyramus and Thisbe, Romeo and Juliet die because of their love for each other.
"Sestina" by Elizabeth Bishop
In this poem, Bishop tells her own story. Her father died when she was a child and her mother never recovered from a nervous breakdown. Bishop had to live with older relatives for many many years.
In the poem, the grandma feels sadness because of the whole situation and because of the innocence of the child but she hides her sadness by laughing and talking to the child.
<em>"reading the jokes from the almanac, </em>
<em>laughing and talking to hide her tears."</em>
<em>-Sestina </em>
Why does the grandmother laugh and talk?
A. to entertain the almanac
B. to hide her tears
C. to entertain the child to make the time pass
I would say A however I am not sure
I believe you are referring to this text:
<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.
From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".
