Reread lines 16–18 (Act 2, scene 1), in which Macbeth tells Banquo that he and his wife couldn’t entertain

nadezda [96]

The following are the lines 16–18 (Act 2, scene 1), in which Macbeth tells Banquo that he and his wife couldn’t entertain the king as they would have liked.

Being unprepared,
Our will became the servant to defect,
Which else should free have wrought

= these lines are ironic because the wife of Baquo liked to entertain the king but she can't because she is not prepared. Her will to entertain may cause a mistake because she was not prepared what should be carefully done.

Can someone help me with an analysis of "How does Betjeman use imagery fir effect in the poem "Harrow-On-The-Hill"?

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Sometimes, poets use enhance their descriptive prowess by appealing to our sense of smell, touch, sight, taste or hearing by intentionally selecting and using certain words. This technique in literature is referred to as Imagery.

1. With respect to the poem by John Betjeman "Harrow-On-The-Hill", we see a repeated use of words with relate to hearing. For example, in the third line he states:

"The poplars near the stadium are trembly"

And in the fourth line he writes,

"With their tap and tap and whispering to me"

He uses this imagery to paint a picture of Autumn (the period of the year just before winter when the weather transitions from a warmer climate to a cooler one). It is clear from the Johns depiction that it is still Autumn but it's nearly winter. A trembly and whispering poplar suggests that the weather was windy.

2. In the third line of the second verse he writes:

"And the constant click and kissing of the trolley buses hissing"

Again we see the use of visual and auditory imagery by the use of the words highlighted above.

From this line, it's easy to tell that John is trying to describe the busyness of the rocky island.

See also the words rumble, and thunder in lines 5 and 6 of verse two which appeal to hearing.

3. In verse 3, we see words from lines 1 & 2 which appeal to what can be seen. Line 5 is a great example of visually captivating imagery. It states:

"Can those boats be only roof tops"

When trawlers are very far from harbor, they appear tiny and sometimes, only their roofs can be seen from such a distance.

John captures the scenery with his line above.

In summary, John uses a lot of auditory and visual imagery in his poem "HarrowOn-The-Hill".

Cheers!

Should religious belief influence law,five paragraph argument.

konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

Whatever we make of the substance of Judge Andrew Rutherford's ruling in the Cornish private hotel case, his citation of a striking and controversial opinion by Lord Justice Laws – delivered in another religious freedom case in 2010 – is worth pausing over. The owners of the Chymorvah hotel were found to have discriminated against a gay couple by refusing them a double-bedded room. They had appealed to their right to manifest their religious belief by running their hotel according to Christian moral standards. Given the drift of recent legal judgments in cases where equality rights are thought to clash with religious freedom rights, it is no surprise that the gay couple won their case.

But quite apart from the merits of the case, judges should be warned off any future reliance on the ill-considered opinions about law and religion ventured last year by Lord Justice Laws. Laws rightly asserted that no law can justify itself purely on the basis of the authority of any religion or belief system: "The precepts of any one religion – any belief system – cannot, by force of their religious origins, sound any louder in the general law than the precepts of any other."

A sound basis for this view is Locke's terse principle, in his Letter on Toleration, that "neither the right nor the art of ruling does necessarily carry with it the certain knowledge of other things; and least of all the true religion".

But Laws seemed to ground the principle instead on two problematic and potentially discriminatory claims. One is that the state can only justify a law on the grounds that it can be seen rationally and objectively to advance the general good (I paraphrase). The question is, seen by whom? What counts as rational, objective and publicly beneficial is not at all self-evident but deeply contested, determined in the cut and thrust of democratic debate and certainly not by the subjective views of individual judges. Religiously inspired political views – such as those driving the US civil rights movement of the 1960s or the Burmese Buddhists today – have as much right to enter that contest as any others. In this sense law can quite legitimately be influenced by religion.

Laws' other claim is that religious belief is, for all except the holder, "incommunicable by any kind of proof or evidence", and that the truth of it "lies only in the heart of the believer". But many non-Christians, for example, recognise that at least some of the claims of Christianity – historical ones, no doubt, or claims about universal moral values – are capable of successful communication to and critical assessment by others. Laws' assertion is also inconsistent with his own Anglican tradition, in which authority has never been seen as based on the subjective opinions of the individual but rather on the claims of "scripture, tradition and reason" acting in concert.
