"mirror"

English
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,

<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>

The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.

By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.

By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.

What is Romeo’s attitude toward love? What is Mercutio’s attitude toward love? How does Mercutio act as a foil for Romeo? What d
hram777 [196]

"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare first published in 1597. It tells the romantic story between young Romeo and Juliet, two lovers whose families are mortal enemies.

Romeo's attitude toward love changes during the story-line. At first his attitude toward love is based on chasing a physical experience rather than a more deep one. Once he meets Juliet, this attitude changes drastically, as he starts to experience a deeper and more meaningful love feeling towards her, and becomes seriously about their life together as lovers. His attitude towards love is an intense and positive one.

On the other hand Mercutio's attitude toward love is a much more pessimistic and detached one than Romeo's. He is a practical character, and he views love as something annoying and meaningless.

Mercutio acts as a foil for Romeo because their views are completely the opposite. While Romeo is a romantic whose conception of love takes over his whole personality, Mercutio does not take love as something seriously. The foil works as a reinforcement of Romeo's intense feelings for Juliet, Mercutio's negativity when it comes to love just highlights how Romeo's viewpoint is the complete opposite, shows how much he is in love with Juliet.

mojhsa [17]
Believe it or not, this sentence is simple.

Yes, it is quite long, but it has one subject (daylilies) and one verb (are). As a result there is one independent clause. 

This single independent clause has some adverb and adjective phrases, but the sentence is still a simple one.

Why does cultural have a great influence?
valentina_108 [34]
Hello fellow late night thinker!

I have no idea if this is the answer but I’ll give it my best shot.

So culture has a great influence because EVERYONE has culture, no matter who you are. It influences your life in many ways. It’s your ancestors, your family, who you are. Culture is the reason you dress the way you do and eat the way you do. Culture gives you traditions. And these are things that impact your life. So yeah, culture matters and it makes an influence on who you are.
Happy to help. Have a nice night.
