1. First, Shakespeare wrote his plays in blank verse featuring iambic
pentameter because that was the style of the day. Think of it as a way
for an author to show off--and it really is quite impressive if one
thinks about it. There are very few authors who can create characters
and plots as rich as Shakespeare's and write their lines in a consistent
meter.
2. Secondly (I think that this might be what you are asking), when
Shakespeare's characters speak in verse (iambic pentameter), they are
usually the noble (aristocratic) characters, and their speech represents
their high culture and position in society. If you simply look at one
of Shakespeare's plays, you can often tell when the commoners are
speaking because their lines will go from margin to margin (this is
true, too, of nobles who are acting like commoners--whether they're
involved in evil schemes, losing their minds, or are drunk!). In
contrast, Shakespeare's other characters' lines should sound and look
different to you--they should sound "sing-songy" and should look like
poetry with uneven lengths.
A good example of this is from Othello. When Iago is speaking to his
peers or to those in position of authority over them, his speech is in
verse, but when he is plotting and talking to Roderigo (especially at
the play's beginning), his lines are not in iambic pentameter--this
represents the bawdy nature of his speech and, in truth, the baseness of
his character.
Answer:
Daisy cannot trust anyone, especially the men, in her life.
Explanation:
"Young and Beautiful," performed by Lana Del Rey, is the theme song for the movie adaptation of the novel "The Great Gatsby," by author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Daisy is Gatsby's love interest. They fell in love 5 years before the beginning of the story. Gatsby left to fight in the war, and Daisy ended marrying the millionaire Tom Buchanan.
<u>Even though she lives a glamorous life, Daisy is far from being truly happy. She, her family, and her friends are all part of a shallow society in which wealth is more important than values, respect, and true love. Daisy is surrounded by liars, and she knows very well she cannot trust anyone. Tom lies about his fidelity, while Gatsby lies about his past and his newly-acquired fortune. How can Daisy trust anyone? However tempted we might feel to pity her, we must keep in mind that she too knows how to play this game. Daisy is smart, vain, and quite selfish. She cannot trust anyone, but she is not one to be trusted as well.</u>
They enjoyed their time together.
A man has a dream could be foreshadowing, depending on what the man dreams about. If the narrator is not a character in the story, but just telling the story, seeing a ship and seeing a white flag could be foreshadowing.<span />
