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.
