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.

Can someone help me with these two questions? It has to do with Macbeth and Hacate!
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

She could be a mentor or make commentary on Shakespeare's play, including both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth himself struggling with their moral codes and having small psychotic breakdowns, some bigger than others (Lady M literally dies).

Honestly that last one is a little tricky. She wants to help Macbeth, essentially by destroying him. Maybe that's what your teacher means? She's very confident and has a sort of complex that she controls fate, while criticizing Macbeth for his over-confidence. She says some paradoxical things and so do the witches, such as the phrase "when the battle's lost and won" meaning, technically that they both won and lost the battle, a paradox. Of course, it means the actual loss comes from casualty, but grammatically it is a paradox. Macbeth doesn't really have a clue what it means.

Explanation:

I'm sorry I could not be so definite. I love Macbeth and even performed in it two years ago. These questions are a little strange. Ha-ha! Hope this helped in some way anyhow.

When analyzing any literary work, be it a full text, an excerpt, or any document, for that matter, one way, or one technique that can be used is the analysis of a cause-effect, or causal relationship. Basically, this technique allows the critic to discover the links that exist between a situation, or an event, that takes place and the consequences that derive from said cause. It is almost like tracing a pattern backwards that explains why an action, or a result, happened. In order then for the reader, or critic to use this technique, he/she must take into consideration a series of things:

A: Describe the characters´ actions from past events. This is because, when you discover the past events, you can find an explanation and a link with the action realized and you can understand the sequence in the story.

B: Identify the cause of the action or event. This is a more direct pathway, as it establishes the direct link between cause and effect. In the first option, background history will explain in some form why a character acts in a certain way, but it may not always be the only cause. However, when you find the direct cause of an action, you find this causality.

D: Consider the effect of the action of event. By doing this you are continuing the process that is necessary to establish a cause and effect relationship. It gives you the full picture and the full understanding of the how, when, and why and also of the outcomes. It is almost like the finishing touch to unraveling the mystery in a story.
