I love Shakespeare!!!
And what is music then? Then music is
Even as the flourish when true subjects bow
To a new-crowned monarch. ....
I stand for sacrifice; The rest aloof are the Dardanian wives,
With bleared visages come forth to view
The issue of th'exploit. Go, Hercules.
Live thou, I live.
-Portia
it is pretty much saying that Portia, giving a speech to Bassanio before he chooses his casket. She
gives him music in order to suggest that her rhymes are hinting at the
lead casket.
I am here to be sacrificed- she as an individual is destroyed to save
her father's estate. Here future is a function of the value of the
estate. It remains to be seen whether is willing to be sacrificed or
not.
She compares Bassanio to Hercules- who will save her. This is a
complimetn however she references him as a fortune hunter by mentioning
this. By saving Troy, Hercules got not the maiden but the horses of her
father.
It makes it to form a question or a questioning sentence
what is your purpose statement(taken from page 5 of your workbook)?
The only similarities are their support of LGBT rights. In the case of Bonheur, she was a European, French painter that was openly and unapologetically lesbian and who refused to be told what to do by the patriarchal society of her day. She wore men’s clothes and also engaged in traditionally male activities such as hunting and smoking. She openly lived with her lesbian partner for 40 years and was extremely public and outspoken about her lesbianism. Her uncompromising stance helped French lesbians begin to assert themselves in society and to demand certain rights, which was revolutionary for the times.
In the case of Michelle Obama, she was the heterosexual First lady of POTUS Barack Obama during his presidency and she openly supported same-sex marriage rights in 2012. During her national military families initiative, she selected openly homosexual military members.
Music would be the best answer
