What part of Romeo's seemingly happy dream foreshadows the tragic events to come?

English
1 answer:
Anni [7]4 years ago

This scene occurs near the end of the play, at the end of Act 5, Scene 1.

At this point in the play, Romeo has already been banished from Verona and has been staying in Mantua. He wakes in the morning and believes the dream he has just had is a good omen. He says "If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand."

When we learn the content of Romeo's dream, we cannot agree with him. He dreamed of Juliet, which is certainly nice. However, in his dream Romeo himself was dead! He says, "I dreamt my lady came and found me dead." 

Romeo interprets this dream as a positive one because in the dream Juliet "breathed such life with kisses in my lips That I revived." Here, he is saying that in his dream, Juliet found him dead but kissed him and brought him back to life. Although Romeo believes this dream is happy, it is actually foreshadowing what will happen in Act 5, Scene 3.

At this point, his cousin Balthasar arrives to tell him Juliet has died. What Romeo does not realize is that his dream WILL come true -- in a way. He will go to Juliet's tomb and kill himself. Juliet will waken shortly after his death and will kiss him. That's where the similarities end, however. Juliet's kiss will not bring Romeo back to life, and she will join him in death not long after.

And so, Romeo's seemingly happy dream actually foreshadows the tragic events to come.

Which statement BEST assesses the relative reliability of the narrator of this selection? A) The narrator is Rainsford himself a
hoa [83]

Answer: The passage that is missing from the question is "When the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, Rainsford took up his flight again. It was flight now, a desperate, hopeless flight, that carried him on for some hours. Dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. The ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. With a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. He knew where he was now. Death Swamp and its quicksand."

The statement that best assesses the relative reliability of the narrator of this selection is D;  The narrator is not a character in the story and therefore should be considered reliable.

Explanation:

The narrator in the story "The Most Dangerous Game" is not a character, this passage is written, in what is called, a "Third Person (Limited Omniscient) narrative in stories. Since the narrator is showing the thoughts of only Rainsford, that is what is show in the passage. At the end of this story when Rainsfords escapes with his life, that is when we are shown the Zaroff's thoughts of what has transpired.

This story "The Most Dangerous Game" was written, in the year, 1924. The story has been made into radio shows and movies over the years. The story won an O. Henry Award and is still called the best shorty story to ever be written by numerous critics and readers. This story was written by Richard Connell and has also been published under the name "The Hounds of Zaroff."

The answer is: there is an eternal battle between good and evil.
