Bryon is talking about a woman that's as lovely as a night with a clear starry sky, and goes on to convey her beauty as a harmonious "meeting" between darkness and light. After he discusses her physical attractiveness, he then portrays this outer beauty as representative of inner goodness and virtue. He uses religious imagery when talking about her.
<h2>B. Jest</h2><h2>"because this is a teasing conversation"</h2>
The author seems almost defeated ("I decided I couldn't run..") but also has a more ethical tone, saying his freedom wasn't worth anything if the city was still under DHS and his friends were still locked up and that his freedom wasn't as important as a free country.
the tone is assertive and defiant because by saying "I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul" you are basically saying that this is your life and you are going against the order of things, especially if someone is controlling your life.
I can help it depends on what it is tho
