Answer:
'No, Love is not dead' by Robert Desnos explores the key idea of 'love is eternal and beyond all the physical form. The poem is structured into three stanzas in varying lengths(32, 5, 1) with an alternate rhyme scheme(XaaXbcdcXeXfghXidgcgXfejabfeXfiX kkhjk X) and written in trochaic meter. The organizational pattern of the poem is unique and therefore, does not follow the regular pattern or rhyme scheme yet the use of literary devices like personification, repetition, etc. helps convey the idea effectively.
Answer and Explanation:
In the first Act, we can see that fear is a driving force that determines the action, behavior and positioning of the characters in relation to everything that happens in their lives. Thus, we can say that fear, in this story, has the ability to manipulate all members of society. This can be considered an effect of the repressive Puritan society, which works on a blind faith to contain citizens, instead of working with information and freedom. In this case, we can perceive two types of fear that rule the whole story, the fear of witchcraft and diabolical manipulation (we can see this with the girls' fear of being accused of witches and the population's fear of harboring witches), such as the fear of losing their reputation (as we can see at the moment when Reverend Parris had to have a witch inside his house.)
Fear causes lies, accusations, deaths and, as we know, a strong hysteria that almost destroyed the city. Furthermore, fear causes a wave of betrayals and accusations, which all Puritan society in history does not see as sinful acts, but they believe it is justifiable. This shows how this society was contradictory.
The themes of the book include morality and womanhood. Cassy commits infanticide not because she wanted to do it but because she had no choice. She was a slave and that meant she did not have the capacity to raise the baby. Despite this, she still made her decision to kill the baby and that shows her 'moral weakness.'
Answer:
The author compares the character by comparing the fog to a cat.
Explanation:
The story says, "The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on." And that shows that we can guess that the author compared it to a cat.
