In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", by Mark Twain, the incongruity that exists between the narrator and Simon Wheeler is <em>The narrator is brisk and businesslike; Wheeler takes his time.</em>

A friend of the narrator tells him to look for Reverend Leonidas W. Smiley, and to contact Simon Wheeler for that purpose. The introductory paragraphs writen by the narrator go straight to the point. On the contrary, Wheeler uses long descriptive sentences with bad grammar, and full of dialect. Even though he is serious there is an overall humoros effect. " ...if I asked old Wheeler  about him,... he would... bore me nearly to  death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me."

Match each writer to the romantic trait reflected in his poems.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

  • Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Fantasy and supernatural.
  • William Wordsworth:  Healing power of nature.
  • William Blake: Mysticism and spirituality.
  • Thomas Gray: Aspirations and potential of all human beings.

The Romantic period was a literary movement that arose as a reaction to the Enlightenment. While the Enlightenment emphasized concepts such as logic and reason, the Romantics attempted to rescue those "human" traits that were less remarked upon. They focused on the individual, the magical, the supernatural, the traditional and the emotional. All of these writers contributed, in different ways, to this period.

Write an essay exploring the role that the supernatural plays in Macbeth thus far. How does it affect the play’s overall atmosph
PolarNik [594]

The supernatural plays a large role in Macbeth. Had the witches not talked to Macbeth in the beginning of the play & told him of what he could become, none of the events that followed would have taken place. This gives an overall dark mood to the story. The mood relates to the play's central conflicts because after talking to some really dark and evil beings, Macbeth does some dark and evil things.
