Answer:

The tale about the fish is a metaphorical story that Dorothea used to talk about Joe and his need to stop his 'tunnel-vision’ and focus on things around him too. Joe thought playing with Dorothea will be 'different' and would make him famous and rich, but that wasn't the case. He was still the same Joe, riding the same subway, leading the same life. In fact, nothing ever changed, which confused him.

Explanation:

The Pixar movie "Soul" is not only a beautiful animated movie but also a deeply thought-provoking movie dealing with existentialism and the importance of one's life aims.

In the movie, Joe Gardner was and his only goal was to play alongside the famous jazz artist Dorothea Williams. And in this desire, he forgot to think of his other relationships, be it with friends or families. His sight was just a one-way tunnel, with Dorothea at the end of the tunnel.

When Dorothea told him about the fish, she is using a metaphorical tale to tell Joe about how it is important to be aware of the surroundings. Joe had believed that playing with Dorothea will be 'different, but when he actually played for her and he felt nothing different or 'great', he was confused. He did not even know how or what to do next after he had 'achieved' his goal. So, Dorothea's story is about Joe and his tunnel vision that blinded him to other things around him.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Could be a metaphor as the wind doesn't actually have a voice. Or maybe personification because it is giving human traits to a non-human entity.

what is your impression of Macbeth and Lady macbeth? Cite passages from act 1 to support your description
Makovka662 [10]

Macbeth, General of war of King Duncan from Scotland, was very much appreciated in the court by his skills in the combats:

"SCENE II. A camp near Forres.

Alarum within. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, LENNOX, with Attendants, meeting a bleeding Sergeant

DUNCAN

What bloody man is that? He can report,

As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt

The newest state.

MALCOLM

This is the sergeant

Who like a good and hardy soldier fought

'Gainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend!

Say to the king the knowledge of the broil

As thou didst leave it."

One day, back from a victorious battle, accompanied by his friend Banquo, he is surprised by three witches with the next prophecies: Macbeth would be Thane of Cawdor and king of Scotland, and the descendants of Banquo would inherit the crown. The witches vanish on air, leaving the two characters thinking about the foresight of the supernatural power.

Surprisingly, a messenger of the king informs him about his nomination as Cawdor's Thane, making true so, one of the prophecies of the witches. In view of that, Macbeth glimpses the very position of reign, which dominates his soul and brings his perdition.

So, seized by a deep and furious sense of ambition and encouraged by Lady Macbeth, wife ruled by the same vile values, Macbeth kills the king Duncan, in search of the possession of the crown:


SCENE V. Inverness. Macbeth's castle.

Enter LADY MACBETH, reading a letter

(...)

MACBETH

My dearest love,

Duncan comes here to-night.

LADY MACBETH

And when goes hence?

MACBETH

To-morrow, as he purposes.LADY MACBETH

O, never

Shall sun that morrow see!

Your face, my thane, is as a book where men

May read strange matters. To beguile the time,

Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,

Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,

But be the serpent under't. He that's coming

Must be provided for: and you shall put

This night's great business into my dispatch;

Which shall to all our nights and days to come

Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.
