Read the following excerpt from Romeo and Juliet. In a response of four to six sentences, identify the cultural practices and la

nguage that illustrate the play’s historical context. How does the historical context depicted in this excerpt compare with our world today? Use proper spelling and grammar.
LADY CAPULET
The valiant Paris seeks you for his love.

NURSE
A man, young lady! lady, such a man
As all the world—why, he's a man of wax.

LADY CAPULET
Verona's summer hath not such a flower.

NURSE
Nay, he's a flower; in faith, a very flower.

LADY CAPULET
What say you? can you love the gentleman?
This night you shall behold him at our feast;
Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face,
And find delight writ there with beauty's pen;
Examine every married lineament,
And see how one another lends content
And what obscured in this fair volume lies
Find written in the margent of his eyes.
This precious book of love, this unbound lover,
To beautify him, only lacks a cover:
The fish lives in the sea, and 'tis much pride
For fair without the fair within to hide:
That book in many's eyes doth share the glory,
That in gold clasps locks in the golden story;
So shall you share all that he doth possess,
By having him, making yourself no less.

First, the characters titles/names indicate the time period (historical context). 'Lady' and 'Nurse' tell readers when the story is taking place. While this would fall under language evidence for the historical context, this could also fall under cultural practices because it was a cultural practice in that time period to address people with titles such as these.

Second, little things such as wording point out the historical context. "Nay," "hath," "doth," and many others make it clear that this story is definitely in a different era, a historical one.

<span>The historical context depicted in this excerpt is quite different from our world today. Instead of, 'Lady,' we use the term 'Mrs/Ms/Miss.' We do not typically have Nurses/Governesses, rather we call them teachers and they play similar yet different roles in our society. We do not usually use words such as, "Nay," "hath," "doth." Rather, "no, have/has, or do/does." </span>

How does the essay a city night piece reveal the personality of Oliver Goldmith
Natalija [7]

Answer:Oliver Goldsmith’s essays reflect two significant literary transitions of the late eighteenth century. The larger or more general of these was the beginning of the gradual evolution of Romanticism from the Neoclassicism of the previous one hundred years. Oppressed by the heavy “rule of reason” and ideas of taste and polish, readers of this transitional period gradually began to respond more to the imaginative and the emotional in literature. This transition serves as a backdrop for a related evolution that played an essential role in the development of the modern short story. At this time the well-established periodical essay began a glacially slow movement away from its predominant emphasis on a formal exposition of ideas; contemporary essayists, none more prominent than Goldsmith, began to indulge more their taste for the personal approach and for narrative. The result was increased experimentation with characterization, story line, setting, and imagery; concurrent with these developments, style, theme, tone, and structural patterning received particular attention. Varying degrees and types of emphasis on these elements pushed the essay form in many diverse directions. Of all the contemporary essayists, Oliver Goldsmith best reflects these developments.
