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 is true of the narration in "Araby"? A. A third-person narrator uses simple words to reveal the thoughts and emo
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The statement which is true of the narration in "Araby" is:

B. A first-person narrator tells of a child's feelings by using the language of adults.

Explanation:

Published in 1914, "Araby" is a short story by author James Joyce. We can easily eliminate options A and C because the story is narrated from a first-person perspective.

The narrator is a young boy who falls in love for the first time in his life. He is infatuated by the beauty of his friend's sister, and the story revolves around his perception of how this feeling is nothing but an illusion. Although the narrator is the young boy, the language he uses is of adults. He focuses on his own feelings and thoughts, not commenting on the thoughts of several characters. Therefore, the best option is letter B.

Read about recycled wastewater here. Write one paragraph that presents your evaluation of the writer’s argument. The evaluation
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Recycling wastewater can extend water supplies, improve water quality, reduce discharge and disposal costs of wastewater, and save energy. Most recycled water comes from treated municipal wastewater or sewage, though other sources include domestic gray water.

What are 3 ways wastewater can be recycled?

The following are some of the typical technologies: Ozonation, ultrafiltration, aerobic treatment (membrane bioreactor), forward osmosis, reverse osmosis, advanced oxidation. Some water demanding activities do not require high grade water. In this case, wastewater can be reused with little or no treatment.

Why is recycling wastewater important?

Treated and recycled wastewater provides a cost-efficient supply that decreases the demands – and stress – on freshwater sources such as groundwater, rivers, and reservoirs. This is particularly important in areas that have been affected by water scarcity and drought.
