The first scene in Romeo and Juliet that supports the theme of fate is when they meet at the Capulet party. It's a situation that Romeo has no business being in, which adds to the theme that their lives are guided by a force greater than themselves. If Mercutio had not persuaded Romeo to go (he wasn't in the mood for dancing), he never would have met Juliet.
The second scene that supports the theme of fate is when Romeo kills Tybalt. He had tried so hard to keep Mercutio and Tybalt from fighting, and the situation escalated to a point out of his control. He even says "I am fortune's fool" as he exits the scene to avoid the Prince's punishment directly. This punishment is what eventually leads to the tragic ending of the play.
The term haunted is more like the awakening of the memories
that items in the chest invoked. The
pictures, birthday cards, toys and other stuff in the chest bring back the
times the character had experienced with each object. Many of them were good time
he had shared with his family. In a way,
it had haunted the family with good memories that chest keeps safe.
The words long pondered, eyelids drooped, and dreary sigh reveal the pace of the story.
Please do not report this I WILL help you but I need to know the question though so if you could comment below ill answer it for you
Answer: It reveals background information about the Finch family, and also contrasts Scout's narration as an adult with her narration as a child.
Explanation:
At the beginning of <em>"To Kill a Mockingbird" (1960),</em> Harper Lee's coming-of-age novel, Scout Finch, the narrator of the story, gives us an insight into the Finch family history. She describes that her antecedents came from England and settled in the United States. Scout's account of her family's history makes the family more familiar to the readers. It also implies that the family, having been in Maycomb for generations, is quite respected in the community.
It is also important to mention that the story is narrated from a perspective of a six-year-old girl, whereas the story about the family history is told by a grown-up Scout. Scout's description of the Finch family, therefore, provides a contrast between the way Scout perceives the world as a child and as an adult.
