After using the context to determine the meaning of "rapture", we can conclude it means "delight" or even "euphoria".

We can come to this meaning <u>because of the words that describe the same action</u>, such as "passion", "intoxication", and "pleasure."

After looking the word up in an online dictionary, I confirmed my definition. The dictionary entry says "rapture" refers to "ecstasy" and an "overwhelming feeling".

  • The word "rapture" appears in Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace" when the narrator describes the way the main character is dancing. See the excerpt below:
  • "She danced with rapture, with passion, intoxicated by pleasure, forgetting all in the triumph of her beauty, in the glory of her success . . ."
  • This feeling of forgetting about everything else when an overwhelming feeling comes over us can be described as ecstasy. Ecstasy is extreme delight, a sense of euphoria.

Not 야<br>Write the summary of A red, red rose.​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

“A Red, Red Rose,” also titled in some anthologies according to its first line, “O, my luve is like a red, red rose,” was written in 1794 and printed in 1796. The song may be enjoyed as a simple, unaffected effusion of sentiment, or it may be understood on a more complex level as a lover’s promises that are full of contradictions, ironies, and paradoxes. The reader should keep in mind the fact that Burns constructed the poem, stanza by stanza, by “deconstructing” old songs and ballads to use parts that he could revise and improve. For example, Burns’s first stanza may be compared with his source, “The Wanton Wife of Castle Gate”: “Her cheeks are like the roses/ That blossom fresh in June;/ O, she’s like a new-strung instrument/ That’s newly put in tune.” Clearly, Burns’s version is more delicate, while at the same time audaciously calculated. By emphasizing the absolute redness of the rose—the “red, red rose”—the poet demonstrates his seeming artlessness as a sign of sincerity. What other poet could rhyme “June” and “tune” without appearing hackneyed? With Burns, the very simplicity of the language works toward an effect of absolute purity.
