What does albatross symbolize? I need a paragraph

English
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]3 years ago
3 0
An albatross symbolizes a dead weight, or a burden (emotionally, obviously).  The origin of this stems from the belief that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to sailors, most popularly from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where an albatross is hung from the neck of a sailor who killed it.  Some may consider obstacles they struggle to overcome to be an albatross, or even themselves if they feel that they are 'weighing others down', in a sense.  Inversely though, albatrosses can also mean good luck, although this is used less commonly than the former.

The use of a, an, or the is a signal that a______ is coming
Art [367]
The use of a, an, or the is a signal that a noun is coming.
In the English language, only nouns are preceded by articles. A is used when a noun starts with a consonant (a book, a table, a bottle); an is used when the noun starts with a vowel (an apple, an umbrella, an avocado); the is used when you are referring to a particular thing (The boy I just met is called Mark.)

What is the reason behind hamlet and Ophelia’s argument
Marysya12 [62]
Angrily, Hamlet denies having given her anything; he laments the dishonesty of beauty, and claims both to have loved Ophelia once and never to have loved her at all. Bitterly commenting on the wretchedness of humankind, he urges Ophelia to enter a nunnery rather than become a “breeder of sinners” (III.i.122–123).
