Read the following excerpt from Romeo and Juliet. In a well-developed paragraph of four to six sentences, identify the details o

f this story that reveal information about the time period. How are these details significant for the story? Use proper spelling and grammar in your response.
CAPULET
Soft! take me with you, take me with you, wife.
How! will she none? doth she not give us thanks?
Is she not proud? doth she not count her blest,
Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought
So worthy a gentleman to be her bridegroom?

JULIET
Not proud, you have; but thankful, that you have:
Proud can I never be of what I hate;
But thankful even for hate, that is meant love.

CAPULET
How now, how now, chop-logic! What is this?
'Proud,' and 'I thank you,' and 'I thank you not;'
And yet 'not proud,' mistress minion, you,
Thank me no thankings, nor, proud me no prods,
But fettle your fine joints 'gainst Thursday next,
To go with Paris to Saint Peter's Church,
Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither.
Out, you green-sickness carrion! out, you baggage!
You tallow-face!

LADY CAPULET
Fie, fie! what, are you mad?

JULIET
Good father, I beseech you on my knees,
Hear me with patience but to speak a word.

CAPULET
Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch!
I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday,
Or never after look me in the face:
Speak not, reply not, do not answer me;
My fingers itch.
Wife, we scarce thought us blest
That God had lent us but this only child;
But now I see this one is one too much,
And that we have a curse in having her:
Out on her, hiding!

Answer:

Explanation:The language used by the presented characters represents the medieval times they are living in. Also the topic of their their conversation is the arranged marriage , which is imposed upon Juliet who has fallen head over heels for Romeo.And she also expresses how much she hates the idea of her father ,the Capulet, who thinks that she isn't proud of being his daughter and being married off to such a "worthy gentleman".

All above shows that a woman's opinion wasn't given such significance as it is today , which is that happened during the times before ours.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

If this is the book I'm thinking of then this question is in my favor. This is The Magician's Nephew that is apart of the Narnia series, right? (Granted, I haven't read the whole book)

The protagonist of The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis is a young boy named Digory. He behaves like any other 'normal' boy. He's got a taste for danger and adventure, and doesn't mind disregarding the rules for the sake of curiosity or invalidation. With his friend Peggy by his side, they are transported into the magical world of Charn. There, they find the queen, awake her, and cause the conflict that disrupts the story. Digory is saddened by this, but determined to make it right.

The antagonist of this story is debatable, but most likely Uncle Andrew. He is greedy, self-centered, and ignorant of the possibilities of magic (and the affect it has on things). Uncle Andrew is only obsessed with power and being the strongest, and he is willing to use manipulation to get what he wants (though he's very bad at this). What he is searching for and unable to find is the power he seeks and the escape from the conflict he inevitably started.

How does Grendel's characterization in Beowulf differ from his
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The best option concerning how Grendel's characterization in "Beowulf" differs from his characterization is "Grendel" is:

B. In "Beowulf" he is a static character, but in "Grendel" he is a dynamic character.

Explanation:

In literature, a static character is one that does not undergo important change. He is basically the same from beginning to ending. On the other hand, a dynamic character does go through important internal changes as the plot unfolds. Those changes can be emotional or psychological, for instance.

In the epic poem "Beowulf", the character Grendel is described as a monster incapable of feeling. He seems to exist solely with the purpose of terrorizing and killing men. However, in John Gardner's "Grendel", the character is developed further. He has feelings, and he suffers precisely because he is not capable of conveying those feelings. His actions are misinterpreted, his monstrous appearance being all everyone can see and judge upon. Thus, we can safely say that, in "Beowulf", Grendel is a static character, while in "Grendel" he is a dynamic character.

Please reword this paragraph..... Thanks!
REY [17]
On his way to work, Montang runs into Clarisse, for the second time, and again she questions him nonstop about his feelings towards his wife and work. When he arrives to the fire station, Montang passes the Mechanical Hound, an enormous robotic police dog, which is able to locate and get rid of its prey, once set to someone's chemical balance. Montang is alarmed when the dog growls at him, and tells his concern to his boss, Chief Beatty. His chief dismisses the problem, making arrogant references to the Mechanical Hound and Montang's daily dislike to it.
