1 answer:

5 0

"The Tempest" is considered a revenge tragedy. The usurpation of Prospero's dukedom from Antonio, his own beloved brother, is an indication of his distemper. Words that can create a tone of reproach and melancholy for the past are: "evil nature", falsehood", "perfidious" which are attributed to the dishonest brother. Miranda appears to live in a dream place where corruption and malevolence do not exist. However, Prospero's negative attitue towards Antonio expresses that there is evil in human nature and it can even come from close acquaintances and family.

A
Not correct. She could have been using references to anything. Not all her references are from literature. Southern Bitter Wormwood is a reference to the wormwood plant which is medicinal in nature and it is very bitter.

C
Maybe. But there's a better answer. It's not her personality we are drawn to although it is quite bubbly if this passage is any kind of indication. It is the joy she takes in recognizing that Beowulf likes a good drink and he wanted her to join him and she was delighted by the invitation.

D
She could have been talking about anything that engaged her. It just happened to be mostly about the classics.

B
This is the best answer. C and D are close, but it really is B that we are attracted to. We have our eyes opened to the grand people in books. More than that we feel her joy in Beowulf, her polite tea conversation with Oliver Twist, her astonishing acceptance of the meaning of Sydney Carton's statement at the end of a Tale of Two Cities.

amid [387]

Answer:

Nowhere man.

Explanation:

John's lyrics are somewhat autobiographical and introspective on this 1965 song that features brilliant harmonies throughout and lyrics that offer help to the forlorn listener. It is the song titled "Nowhere man."

John Winston Lennon was an English singer and songwriter, he was born on the 9th of October, 1940 in Liverpool, England. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by Mark David Chapman and died on the 9th of December, 1980 in New York, United States of America.

John formed his first band named "The Quarrymen" which later became "The Beatles" band in 1960 with the world famous James Paul Mccartney.

On the 21st of October, 1965 John recorded the song titled "Nowhere man" with his Beatles band in their sixth (6) studio album titled "Rubber soul." The rendition of Nowhere man was done in a three-part harmony by John, Paul and Harrison while John and Harrison played the lead guitar solo in unison.

Nowhere man was the first song which was unrelated to love, relationships or romance to be recorded and released by The Beatles. Apparently, the song was about John or simply put, the song was somewhat autobiographical, philosophical and introspective as it was written in first person.

Here's an excerpt from the song;

[Verse 1]

\\He's a real nowhere man.

\\Sitting in his nowhere land.

\\Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
