Answer:

Explanation:

George Orwell, according to the statement in the essay, "Shooting an Elephant", felt confused, anguished and oppressed. He looked like a puppet manipulated by the people around him. Orwell felt ignored and hated by the crowd in the place, which was only interested in killing an aggressive elephant that had committed an attack on a Hindu, but who did not really want to shoot him but in the face of continuous oppression, he ends up doing it, an action that he finally carried out so as not to look bad with people.

<span>George Orwell was hesitant to kill the elephant, but also felt that he needed to do his duty in a situation where he mustn’t show any weakness to the townspeople. He had to be cruel and at the same time, pitiful.</span>

What part of Romeo's seemingly happy dream foreshadows the tragic events to come?

Anni [7]

This scene occurs near the end of the play, at the end of Act 5, Scene 1.

At this point in the play, Romeo has already been banished from Verona and has been staying in Mantua. He wakes in the morning and believes the dream he has just had is a good omen. He says "If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand."

When we learn the content of Romeo's dream, we cannot agree with him. He dreamed of Juliet, which is certainly nice. However, in his dream Romeo himself was dead! He says, "I dreamt my lady came and found me dead."

Romeo interprets this dream as a positive one because in the dream Juliet "breathed such life with kisses in my lips That I revived." Here, he is saying that in his dream, Juliet found him dead but kissed him and brought him back to life. Although Romeo believes this dream is happy, it is actually foreshadowing what will happen in Act 5, Scene 3.

At this point, his cousin Balthasar arrives to tell him Juliet has died. What Romeo does not realize is that his dream WILL come true -- in a way. He will go to Juliet's tomb and kill himself. Juliet will waken shortly after his death and will kiss him. That's where the similarities end, however. Juliet's kiss will not bring Romeo back to life, and she will join him in death not long after.

And so, Romeo's seemingly happy dream actually foreshadows the tragic events to come.
