The message of the poem Laura, written by Petrarch and translated by Morris Bishop is that of a love that can't be because of of the two implied in it is not free. Laura was the woman Petrarch fell in love with when he abandoned the idea of becoming a priest. Although he was very interested in her, she rejected him because she was already married.
Through Laura's lines a person that is considered an angel, and therefore will live forever, is unveiled before our eyes. She is described as the ideal woman, but she is also unreachable to the author. Laura is the love everyone deserves to find, but who only a few do.
The answer is C) direct characterization . It means the author uses adjectives and words that describe the characters in an essay, novel or play.
If you mean the excerpt
from the Act II of “Romeo and Juliet”, by Shakespeare, said by Chorus, I
believe that the correct answer is second statement: It reveals the conflicting
feelings Romeo has for Juliet and his family.
Based on the excerpt
from Act II of “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, the main purpose of
this prologue, said by chorus, is to present Romeo’s conflicted feelings for
Juliet and her family and to recap past events that happened in the play (
Romeo forgot about his previous love, Rosaline, by seeing Juliet). The chorus
also creates an ominous mood that hints at the conflicts of the play
(“Tempering extremities with extreme sweet”).
I think the answer is the second option the one that says "Both demonstrate that pride can lead to unnecessary suffering".
