William Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 mocks the conventions of the showy and flowery courtly sonnets in its realistic portrayal of his mistress.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sonnet 130 is an unusual poem because it turns the idea of female beauty on its head and offers the reader an alternative view of what it's like to love a woman, warts and all, despite her shortcomings. True love isn't reliant on some illusive notion of perfect beauty. Sonnet 130 is like a love poem turned on its head.

William Shakespeare does not appreciate the sonnet 130 rather he makes fun of it. He mocks it. He said that  the showy and flowery courtly sonnets in its realistic portrayal of his mistress is the source of mocking the sonnet 130.

** The actual answer to this question, handwritten by me for the assignment that I also have to complete so it is done well**

Stephen Fry: https://vimeo.com/44735899

David Harewood: https://www.show-score.com/studio/playlists/minute-shakespeare/is-this-the-perfect-performance-of-sonnet-130

The performance by Stephen Fry was very lively and well paced. I thought that the way he read the sonnet really gave it life. He accentuated certain words that brought more depth to the work, and he actually gave me a new interpretation of the sonnet's lines. David Harewood gave a very dramatic rendition of Sonnet 130. It pulled more emotion and interest from me. This performance is even known as the perfect performance of Sonnet 130, and I have to agree. I think both performances were good, but I would highly recommend David Harewood's take over Stephen's.

Answer:

Polonius wants Reynaldo to go to France and visit Laertes while spying on him to see what he's up to and make sure that he is behaving properly and keeping up the reputation and image of the King of Denmark. He is to do this by asking around implicitly about Laertes and saying that he knows him faintly and making up little lies to see if people who know him or have seen him agree with him and eventually tell of what they've seen Laertes do, essentially through roundabout means.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

b. crafty

Explanation:

From the context of the sentence shown in the question above, we can say that Mr. Benton's assistant is a crafty person. That's because a crafty person is a very smart person, but a sneaky, deceitful person who can act controversially to get what he wants. In this case, if Mr. Benton is going to work with this type of person, he must be careful not to be harmed.
