Answer: the author might think that the future of the British empire is hopeless as when at the end of the novel Daisy Miller dies. When Daisy dies, a lot dies with her. This is what the author narrates about that which is basically their trip to the castle at Chillon in Part 1:

Winterbourne's preference had been that they should be conveyed to Chillon in a carriage; but she expressed a lively wish to go in the little steamer; she declared that she had a passion for steamboats. There was always such a lovely breeze upon the water, and you saw such lots of people. The sail was not long, but Winterbourne's companion found time to say a great many things. To the young man himself their little excursion was so much of an escapade—an adventure—that, even allowing for her habitual sense of freedom, he had some expectation of seeing her regard it in the same way.

Explanation: In "Daisy Miller" by Henry James, Winterbourne, a classy gentleman while in Vevay, Switzerland, meets the vivacious young Daisy Miller, a girl from Schenectady, NY traveling through Europe with her clueless mother and badly behaved little brother, and his world is turned upside down. He likes Daisy, but her erratic, flirtatious behavior confuses and irritates him.

2. What literary device does Shakespeare use to develop Helena's character?

- METAPHOR

Based on the lines, metaphor was used because Helena's character wishes to follow Demetrius likened to a dog (spaniel). Just like a dog, even if the master hurts or hits him, he will still remain loyal and true. Just like Helena's devotion to Demetrius.


3. what is most ironic about Lysander's last words before he falls asleep?

- Lysander tells Hermia that he hopes he dies before his loyalty to her ends. This is ironic because his loyalty will end as he sleeps when Puck does him with the love potion.


4. What is an example of dramatic irony is this Act?

-Bottom is unaware that his head has been transformed into a donkey's head. The audience knows that he has a donkey's head, but he has no idea!

Bottom thought that the other characters has been playing a trick on him so he cannot continue with his performance as Pyramus.


5. What do these lines reveal about Helena?

- She distrusts Demetrius and Lysander's feelings for her.

Helena has always considered herself inferior to Hermia. She knows that the one guy she likes is in love with Hermia. That's why she cannot trust her feelings when Lysander and Demetrius came courting her.
