English
1 answer:
kramer2 years ago
5 0
I think an example of irony in this book was in Chapter 5 when Gatsby invites Daisy to his mansion to show off his newly formed wealth, thinking it would impress her and make her fall in love with him again, <span>The irony is that he will never be apart of her circle because he was not born into wealth, what she needed was someone with money AND social standing.

What other images and language devices has shakespeare used here to show the conflict between hamlet and gertrude? (act 1 scene
Anna007 [38]
Shakespeare uses a couple techniques to show the conflict between Hamlet and Gertrude in this scene, irony being the one most used.

First, Hamlet speaks in an aside (meaning no one else can hear him) to indicate he's not interested in speaking to his family -- they are "less than kind."

Then, Gertrude comments on Hamlet's clothing, indicating he's mourning too much. She tells him directly to be kind to Claudius. She says people die all the time, and he replies "aye, it is common," an ironic reply. The death of a king is not "common" -- nor is murder.

Then, Hamlet discusses the meaning of the word "seem," implying that people could fake their grief. (He's implying, perhaps, that Gertrude faked her grief.) His grief, however, IS real.

It would be great if someone helped me... How is the meaning of eccentric related tot he root "centr"?
Grace [21]

Someone who is eccentric means they have unusual or odd behavior, this then relates to the origin of the word which is egocentric meaning self centered. This then also goes on to relate to "center" because a person is "self centered" or egocentric.


High egocentrism = eccentric = self CENTERED
