pentagon [3]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Yes</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The two characters of the story, House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar are Irene and her brother who wasn't named.

<u>Here are two things that seem “off” about the two characters and their relationship:</u>

  1. <u>In their forties and still are both unmarried</u>
  2. <u>they both live in the same house.</u>

1. By stating that both characters are old enough to be married but yet aren't creates a sense of surprise to an avid reader because it is rare to find such a situation in society.

2. We are also told both siblings live in the same house which they inherited. This creates another surprise to the reader that grownups who are siblings can stay in the same house for a long time.

Chorus: Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
gayaneshka [121]

Shakespeare presents, from the very beginning, the families as a dichotomy. He introduces them at the same time, and claims that both are "alike in dignity." The introduction shows that the two families are going to be the main focus of the play, and that they will be placed in contrast to each other. Shakespeare also points towards the violent resolution, by mentioning topics such as "ancient grudges," "mutinies" and "civil blood" and the "parents' strife."

Finally, he also foreshadows the death of both Romeo and Juliet, in the line "a pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life."
