A theme is the message the playwright is trying to communicate to the audience. Themes are usually topics that should be analyzed by the audience in order to reflect about the message behind the play, and on their own reality.
A plot are the events and actions that happen in a drama. It could be a synonym of the story itself, since the plot refers to the sequence of events.
The setting is the time and place in which the drama is set. It is usually found at the beginning of the play, and it gives information about the context of the story, and prepares the reader for the action.
Characters are the people or creatures who are part of the drama. They are the ones that either perform or are affected by the actions. It is through their dialogues that the playwright explores the themes in the play.
The correct answer is B. The conclusion of the Declaration of Independence states:
"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor".
The signatories indicate that there are conditions under which people must change their government, that the British have produced such conditions and, of necessity, the colonies must get rid of political ties with the British Crown and become independent states. Essentially, the conclusion contains Lee's resolution that had been approved on July 2.
In summary, it asserts that the signers will uphold the duties of the U.S. government.
Answer:
You must stay in bed and rest
You mustn't run around and play around
Metaphysical conceits are not too strictly defined, but the general idea is that the poet makes use of a clever and unusual extended metaphor throughout much or all of a poem.
In Holy Sonnet XIV, the idea of the speaker as a city barricaded against God's advances is a metaphysical conceit.
Donne is really interested in physical, earthly love, but also really into God and holiness. The huge problem he must deal with is that he is trying to define a sacred, spiritual relationship, but the only tools at his disposal are the language we use and the lives we lead here in the non-sacred world. The Bible makes a big point of this the language God uses is not the language we can use, so the kinds ofcomparissons Donne can make are inherently limited. Our words and metaphors just cannot describe what happens when you get close to God. Donne writes about something he really cannot express, and that struggle is a big calling card for all of his poetry.
It is in the final couplet, that Donne describes how he 'never shall be free' unless God 'ravishes' him. This powerful image that is deemed as holy creates a paradox between purity and sin, symbolising God dominating Donne with ultimate control to become unified as one in the hope of gaining an immortal partner.
Considering John Donne's personal and professional history, Holy Sonnet XIV can also be seen as a personal processing with his own struggle with God and religion in general.
These comparison were very useful to understand the whole poem and read it in a deep way.
