malfutka [58]3 years ago
3 0
In Romeo and Juliet, women were depicted as inferior human beings who should remain subjective to their parents and their husbands. Their major role in life was considered to be that of pleasing their parents, husbands, keeping the home and taking care of the children. They were considered as men's properties and men can treat them anyway they like. In the play, all the women involved had minor roles with the exception of Juliet who was a main character.<span />

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?
rosijanka [135]

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?

Answer: It is <u>an allusion</u>.

Explanation:

As a figure of speech, an allusion is a brief reference to an event, person, place or idea. This reference does not include a detailed description. In the first stanza of “Monet’s Waterlilies”

, Robert Hayden makes a quick allusion to the civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, which took place in 1965:

<em>"Today as the news from Selma and Saigon</em>

<em>poisons the air like fallout"</em>

How does this example of figurative language affect the last line of the stanza?

Answer: It sets up contrast.

Explanation:

In the last line of the stanza, the author mentions<em> "the serene, great picture" </em>that he loves. This is in direct contrast with the first line of the stanza, where he describes a disturbing event in which people who protested in peace were attacked by police. This picture looks like anything but serene - the word serene means untroubled and peaceful, and serves as a direct contrast to the scene from the first line.

In paragraph 5, Hitchcock says that an audience “will work like the devil” for him if he tells them all the secrets his characte
erica [24]

Hithcock believes that his audience is moved to the suspense that is affected by the characters, but they like to "play God" and have access to the information before them. Thus Hitchcock states that by showing the public the secrets that the characters do not know, the audience is motivated and anxious to know how these stories will come about and will work hard to disseminate and leaflet the stories for other people to know about them.

This sentence shows how Hitchcock's stories grow and flourish over time, being his purpose for writing, creating stories that are not outdated, as the exciting thing is to see their unfolding and not a possible surprise.
