But stay, O spite! But mark, poor knight, What dreadful dole is here! Eyes, do you see? How can it be? O dainty duck! O dear! Thy mantle good, What, stain’d with blood! Approach, ye Furies fell! O Fates, come, come, Cut thread and thrum; Qual, crush, conclude, and quell!

Answer:

Shakespeare's references to the moon show the passage of time, while Ovid uses the moon to symbolize the lovers’ feelings for each other.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes how each author employs the idea of the moon in their text. Shakespeare employs the idea of the moon in order to convey the passage of time. The moon in this case represents the night and the hours that pass. In the case of Ovid, the moon symbolizes the lovers' feelings for each other, as Pyramus asks the moon to take notice of Thisbe.

Write an essay of at least 200 words that explains the significance of Orwell's choice of a farm as the setting of his story.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

When Orwell saw a kid whipping a horse, he had an idea: "It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the proletariat."

Hello, Animal Farm.

On Orwell's Animal Farm-originally Manor Farm-different animals represent different members of the proletariat (working class) or the Russian communist regime. We won't take you through all the details here (see "Symbols, Imagery, Allegory" and the "Character Analyses" for the full lowdown), but the point is that Orwell picked the setting of the farm because it would work well as an allegory.

At the same time, Orwell includes little details like, "the birds jumped on to their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment" (1.20). There's no allegorical purpose to these images; they just give the setting a sense of completeness (although may not exactly realism).

But why an English farm rather than, say, a Russian farm? Well, Orwell wasn't just criticizing Stalin. He was also criticizing the myth of Stalinism that intellectuals all over the West believed. By setting it in England, he brought it that much closer to home
