But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust spoke only (from "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe)

Internal rhyme is when two words rhyme in the same line. In this line from "The Raven" the words lonely and only rhyme. It is a strict internal rhyme scheme because there is the same rhythm and number of syllables from the start of the line to lonely as there is from just after lonely to only. Dickinson's line "The eyes beside had wrung them dry" has three words with the same long I sound (eyes, beside, dry) but there doesn't appear to be a strict pattern and they don't actually rhyme so this is alliteration. In Thomas's "Ceremony After a Fire Raid" the short i sound is also repeated but the words do not rhyme either.

How does Shakespeare use the street fight to explain the conflict between the two families?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Romeo and Juliet, by Shakespeare, is a play which shows how prejudice leads to escalating violence. Prejudice leads to violence shown in the play when the feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets, fight. In each case, disruption, fighting, injuries and death occur. Also, the prejudice between the two families never was resolved, because they were enemies.

The feuding started in Act 1 Scene 1, when the Capulets and Montague servants confronted each other. The Capulets’ servants insult the Montagues and this leads to a street brawl of the two families. Furthermore, in Act 3 Scene 1, the hatred between the families gets worse. When Tybalt wanted revenge against the Montagues, he then confronted Romeo and Mercutio and started a duel. In addition, the feud between the families got even worse, when Tybalt killed Mercutio. Also, in Act 5 Scene 3, Tybalt challenges Romeo to fight and Romeo kills him.
