Ovid created suspense in "Pyramus and Thisbe" by dragging on Pyramus discovering the fate of his love which was all untrue. He did this by using many sentences that eluded to this discovery, causing Pyramus' death. Suspense is further carried on by Thisbe now having to discover her lover close to death, promising her own downfall in the name of love.
Abstract nouns are nouns that the five senses can not detect. Honesty is like honestly. You cannot see honesty, you can not feel honesty, you cannot see honesty, you can not taste honesty, and you can not hear honesty. So, it is an abstract noun.
Abigail's parents were killed. She receives no affection from Parris other than material needs. She finally does find affection from John Proctor. When she and the other girls conspire to make up the story about witchcraft, she and the girls are trying to stay out of trouble, but this could also be another of Abigail's attempts to get attention (good or bad) and/or affection from someone. Keep in mind that she lives in a Puritan village, a very religious place where affection is strictly regulated and passion is reserved for devotion to God. Consequently, she seeks affection in any way she can.
That being said, she can not be totally excused from the hysteria she helped create. The question is how does she exert power over the other girls. One answer is that because she feels so alone, she will do whatever it takes to get attention. The girls fall victim to Abby's determination and find it difficult to disagree with her because she seems so confident.
The answer is: Serious and forceful.
Tone: Is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is generally conveyed through the choice of words, or the viewpoint of a writer on a particular subject. In this case Lake´s words give the impression he is being serious and forceful.
Hello there if you are talking about "pretty words" by Elinor Wylie then.. I think the tone for the poem is admiring be cause when Wylie says "Words shy and dappled, deep eyed deer in herds" and, "I love words opalescent, cool and pearly", it shows her admiration for all sorts of words. When Wylie says in line 1 " poets make pets of pretty, docile words", she means that you can command words to do whatever you want if you know how to use em.
Theme: poets understand the uniqueness, weight, and beauty that words can hold and they know how to use them.
So pretty much here's a little summary: the speaker is comparing words to pets, and how they can be 'tamed'.
Hopefully that all helps!
