The main characters represent different branches of the church. On the island of the Houyhnhnms, Gulliver encounters vile creatures known as Yahoos. Swift uses these creatures to satirize the evils of human virtue. These repulsive creatures are enslaved by horses, which ironically symbolize the ideals of humanity. Swift dehumanizes the human race by amplifying the cruelty and corruption that were characteristic of his society.

Helena expresses jealousy because she wants to catch Demetrius' eyes. Instead, she realizes that Demetrius' is in love with Hermia because of her dreamy eyes


2. What literary device does Shakespeare use to develop Helena's character?

- METAPHOR

Based on the lines, metaphor was used because Helena's character wishes to follow Demetrius likened to a dog (spaniel). Just like a dog, even if the master hurts or hits him, he will still remain loyal and true. Just like Helena's devotion to Demetrius.


3. what is most ironic about Lysander's last words before he falls asleep?

- Lysander tells Hermia that he hopes he dies before his loyalty to her ends. This is ironic because his loyalty will end as he sleeps when Puck does him with the love potion.


4. What is an example of dramatic irony is this Act?

-Bottom is unaware that his head has been transformed into a donkey's head. The audience knows that he has a donkey's head, but he has no idea!

Bottom thought that the other characters has been playing a trick on him so he cannot continue with his performance as Pyramus.


5. What do these lines reveal about Helena?

- She distrusts Demetrius and Lysander's feelings for her.

Helena has always considered herself inferior to Hermia. She knows that the one guy she likes is in love with Hermia. That's why she cannot trust her feelings when Lysander and Demetrius came courting her.

lines 174-185 explain the irony in the statement that the irish "stay at home on purpose to deliver the kingdom to the pretender
GaryK [48]

By these words, which are part of Johathan's Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), the author is referring to the claim to the throne of England, Ireland and Scotland by James Francis Edward Stuart, son of King James II. The latter was a Catholic King, who had already fathered a daughter named Mary; until James Francis Edward's birth, Mary, who had been raised as a Protestant, was the legitimate heiress to the English throne. James Francis Edward was a Catholic. The English Protestants were reluctant to have a Catholic king, as they did not wish to be under the political influence of the Pope. Therefore, they rebelled against James II, whom they overthrew. Mary and her husband William of Orange then became Protestant Queen and King of England, Ireland and Scotland. Ireland is the "home" to which Swift refers in this statement. Since the Irish were and are Catholic, they wished to help James Francis Edward Stuart regain his position as heir to the British, Irish and Scottish crown. Swift contrasts these irish men with those Protestants who would rather leave England than pay taxes to a Catholic king.

James Francis Edward's attempts to regain the crown were unsuccessful.

1. Likely a vet - as they take care of animals, especially those in pain.
2. Vague, but maybe a travel journalist as they are required to move around to learn more.
3. Architect - work on designing buildings, which fits the criteria.
4. Likely a lawyer because they are easier for rich clients to get, and they are of course in court fighting for their clients.
