zhannawk [14.2K]

The sentence that best explains the significance of the novel's title, The Grapes of Wrath, is D. Steinbeck describes the migrants' anger as "fermenting".

The Grapes of Wrath (1939) tells the story of the Joads, a poor family of farmers that leave their home in Oklahoma in search for a better life. However, when they reach California, the Joads only encounter starvation and workers that are constantly exploited. The title of the novel is of great relevance since Steinbeck intends to underline the fact that the family's anger ripens very quickly due to the oppression they suffer. Furthermore, by using that title, the writer tries to remark that the family's feelings of frustation are ready to be harvested as the grapes are by the end of the novel. Therefore, the title refers to the Joads' growing anger and the need for revenge against the migrants' oppressors.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers fall in love as very young. Juliet is only thirteen years old, while Romeo's age is not mentioned. We could, however, assume that Romeo is around her age.

Juliet is definitely more practical and mature, as she is aware that her whole life depends on her choices. At the time the play was written, women were in a far more difficult position, and were having a hard time to build a good reputation.

Juliet's practicality is obvious in Act II, Scene II, when Romeo wants to declare his love for her and swears by the moon. Juliet, however, protests by saying that the moon is always changing. She is hoping that, in their relationship, Romeo would not be as inconsistent as the moon. She states:

Do not swear at all.

Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self

My only love sprung from my only hate

Too early seen unknown, and known too late!

Juliet , therefore, advises Romeo not to swear by anything but himself.
