What is The plot and themes Of the book “ the prisoners”

English
1 answer:
Finger [1]3 years ago
8 0

In this story, a young woman who is “daughter and wife of a forester” is home alone with her mother. The daughter’s wife is serving in the French army; the father is in town drilling with the local militia. This young woman is strong and unafraid. When half a dozen Germans show up demanding to be fed dinner, she tricks them into her cellar – once, apparently, an underground prison cell – until the local militia can come to take them into custody. The young woman is represented as a fine example of patriotism, courage, and quick wits; the French should be proud of her (and her father certainly is, although it is implied that the leader of the militia is happy to take credit for the capture). The militiamen, however, don’t get an uncritical treatment. I will leave this part spoiler-free, but an unfortunate and avoidable incident highlights that they are less competent than our daughter-and-wife.

Strike441 [17]

In the tragic play "Macbeth," Lady Macbeth tries to change her husband's mind about the murder by questioning his masculinity, implying that a man would kill.

<h3>Lady Macbeth vs Macbeth</h3>

The couple formed by Macbeth and his wife is an ambitious one. Macbeth wants to be king, and Lady Macbeth is more than willing to help him concoct plans to achieve that dream. However, her plans are quite bloody and violent.

One of such plans is to murder the current king so that Macbeth can take the throne for himself. However, Macbeth feels guilty and changes his mind. That is when Lady Macbeth's persuasive powers come in handy. To convince him to do it, she questions his masculinity. By attacking his manhood, she implies that a real man would have the courage to kill.

Therefore, our conclusion is that Lady Macbeth attempts to change her husband's mind in order to get him to assassinate the king by questioning her husband's masculinity.

Read the excerpt from Act III, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.Lady Capulet: But much of grief shows still some want of wit. Juliet:
Zinaida [17]

Hello. Although you have presented the text to which this question refers, you have not presented the question itself, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, to try to help you, I will explain to you what is happening in this text and I hope this will be useful.

As you may already know, "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare that tells the tragic story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet, that, although they love each other, they belong to enemy families. In the city where Romeo and Juliet live, there is a law that anyone who kills someone on the street will be killed. Well, Romeo killed Julieta's cousin, after being teased by him and after he married her, without the family of any of them knowing. In order not to be killed, he flees the city and Juliet is in tears for the death of her cousin and for the exile of her husband.

The scene shown above, shows the moment when Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet, watches her daughter cry in despair. Lady Capulet does not know that Juliet married Romeo and thinks that her daughter is crying solely for the death of her cousin. This is an example of dramatic irony, which occurs when the audience knows about something, but the characters don't. That's because while the audience knows the real reason Juliet is crying, her mother doesn't know.
