This song is sang by Ophelia in Act IV, scene V of <em>Hamlet</em>, by William Shakespeare.

In this song, Ophelia sings about a woman who was a "maid" (virgin) and was in love with a man. She tells us that the woman accepted to an invitation by the man on Valentine's Day, and when she left, she was not a maid anymore.

The song points to two important aspects of Ophelia's mind. First, it suggests how betrayed she feels about her relationship with Hamlet. We see that she is reflecting on how men are, and she finds them disgraceful and cunning. The second element is the fact that Ophelia is hallucinating and speaking about nonsensical things. This indicates that she has lost her mind, most likely due to the death of her father or the state of her relationship with Hamlet. By the end of the act, Ophelia will die by drowning.

stepan [7]
I believe that C & D are both very good answers but the choice that i believe to be accurate is actually :

D.) I hereby declare. 

I would of said C.) , but it doesn't quite tell you what the speaker is saying or what the vibe is.

This is the answer because you can feel what the speaker is going to say and it is obvious of what the tone of voice is.

I really hope that this is helping you in some way, have a nice day :)

Four comparisons of Horatian and Juvenalian satire, using The R a p e of the Lock and "A Modest Proposal" as your examples for e
padilas [110]

Satire is the use of humor, exaggeration and irony to express human vices or foolishness. It is often used in the political arena or as a way to criticize government policy. There are two main types of satire: Horatian and Juvenalian.

  • Horatian satire is more tolerant and humorous; its main purpose is to amuse. Juvenalian tends to be more serious.
  • Horatian satire tends to be more witty.
  • Juvenalian satire focuses on personal anger, and attacks vices such as hypocrisy and corruption.
  • The language in a Juvenalian satire, while funny, can also be bitter and pessimistic.

Two works that are well-known examples of satire are:

  • "The R a p e of the Lock" by Alexander Pope. This is an example of Horatian satire. This narrative poem tells the story of a woman who gets a lock of hair stolen from her. However, the story is told as a Greek epic, contrasting the absurdity of the event with its exaggerated style. It is humorous, while slightly critical of the social behaviour of the upper classes.
  • "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satire that argues that the problems of Irish poverty would be solved if Irish parents sold their children as food for the rich classes. The language is a lot more poignant and reprobatory, and its hidden message is one of indignation. It is an example of a Juvenalian satire.
