Why does Matthew Arnold mention Sophocles in this excerpt from "Dover beach"

1 answer:

7 0

the purpose of introducing Sophocles into the poem is to show that even long ago, long before Arnold even began to write poems, people saw that human misery flows through the body like a rising and falling tide. then he goes on to say that even now we have acquainted ourselves with those same thoughts. take a look at the language used in the poem, as well. "the eternal note of sadness"... "human misery"... i'm getting at one of the answers here, but i want to see if you're on the same page with me.

Answer:

My future.

My future is what I would become

My life is my attitude how I live

Explanation:

My future is very mistirious that I myself can't even imagine what I would become. You just have to plan your generation and God will decide your faith and destiny. For example I may want to become a lawyer in future buh God decided to make me a doctor or I may die. That's future.

But life is the way I'm living no one can change your lifestyle. How you behave how you dress. But you just have to sit one day and think wisely about your life and how to become a good person. No one is capable of changing your lifestyle. U own it.

Elizabeth's life is an organized mess. The organized part is all due to her own efforts. The mess is entirely due to her sister, Saoirse, whose personal problems leave Elizabeth scrambling to pick up the pieces. One of these pieces is Saoirse's six-year-old son, Luke. Luke is quiet and contemplative, until the arrival of a new friend, Ivan, turns him into an outgoing, lively kid. And Elizabeth's life is about to change in wonderful ways she has only dreamed of.
