Which lines in this excerpt from Shakespeare’s Richard III provide evidence for the theme of good versus evil in the play? RICHA

RD III (Duke of Gloucester): Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York; And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths; Our bruised arms hung up for monuments; Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barded steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them; Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun And descant on mine own deformity: And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

Answer:  And now, instead of mounting barded steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.

Explanation: the author states that instead of marching against enemies they now dance and entertain ladies. This is, from my point of vew, a good vs evil or peace vs war argument.

What is Naturalistic about Chopin's two stories, "The Story of an Hour" and "A Pair of Silk Stockings"? Provide textual evidence
miskamm [114]

We can say the following about Naturalism in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" and "A Pair of Silk Stockings":

  • Both short stories are Naturalistic in the sense that they are both pessimistic. They do not provide happy endings, and their take on life is quite negative.
  • The evidence such pessimism is the ending of each story. In "The Story of an Hour," the main character thinks she will finally be a free, independent woman, but she ends up dying. In "A Pair of Silk Stockings," the main character has to go back to her fastidious, poor life after a moment of happiness.

<h3>Pessimism in literature:</h3>
  • A characteristic of Naturalism in literature is pessimism. Naturalist authors believed in determinism, which establishes that we are the product of our circumstances. A poor person will likely remain poor, for example.
  • That leads to pessimism, which is a negative attitude toward life. In Naturalism, happy endings are quite uncommon. As a matter of fact, endings are mostly tragic and sad.

<h3>Pessimism in Kate Chopin:</h3>
  • The two stories we are analyzing here are pessimistic, which makes them Naturalistic, among other things. Their endings are quite far from happy.
  • In "Story of an Hour," Mrs. Mallard is told her husband has died. Instead of being sad, she is happy that she will finally be free of the constraints of marriage.
  • However, in the end she is the one who dies. She has a heart condition and, upon finding out that her husband is very much alive, Mrs. Mallard has a heart attack.
  • A similar sad ending takes place in "A Pair of Silk Stockings," in which Mrs. Sommers allows herself to live a little after a very long time of sacrificing herself.
  • As a poor mother, she is often saving money and doing her best to provide for her children. One day, however, she has a delights herself buying some fancy stockings, shoes, and gloves, and eating at a fancy restaurant.
  • Her tragedy is that, after a brief moment of happiness, she must return to her poor, difficult life.
