In "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning, the situation which brings the duke and the agent together is the duke's intention to remarry.
His wife died (or was killed, we will never know for sure), and he lost a lot of money, which is why he needs to marry into a rich family so as to regain what he lost. This is the reason why he met with the agent, so as to marry his cousin or something.
A story presented as a play. Actually it's a story, but it can also adapt into a play.
Alleged madness
The passage from Act 3 Scene 4 has the recurring idea of alleged madness. First, Olivia, Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian were all making Malvolio seem crazy and devil-possessed with his snobbery and arrogance. Then, the passage shows Olivia desperately in love, thinking she is like Malvolio--going mad. Lastly, Antonio's friendship to Sebastian ( who was actually Cesario) was introduced. Antonio was made to seem mad from his misdirected loyalty.
Incomplete question. The full question read;
Identify the sentence type for each sentence.
- We visited the shelter where many animals are waiting for homes.
- We petted the cats, and they purred while the dogs barked in the other room.
- The dogs wanted to play, and we took them to a dog park.
- We spent an hour at the park, which was packed, and then we left.
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. <u>COMPLEX SENTENCE.</u> Note, a complex sentence is one that has an independent clause and may also have one or more dependent clauses. From the sentence,
- the part that contains the Independent clause is: <em>we visited the shelter. </em>
- the part that contains the dependent clause: <em>where many animals are waiting for homes.</em>
Note also that, a dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand on its own; since it does <u>not </u>express a complete thought.
2. <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> Note, a compound-complex sentence is one that usually <u>has at least 2</u> independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Because the sentences are usually longer, conjunction, comma, or semi colon is are used to link up the independent and dependent clauses together.
3. COMPOUND SENTENCE. This sentence, although not a compound-complex, but <u>only a compound sentence.</u> A conjunction "and" is used to link the clauses together.
4. <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> We note the following;
- the part that contains the Independent clause is: <em>We spent an hour at the park.
</em>
- the part that contains the dependent clause is: <em>Which was packed, and then we left.
</em>
- the part that contains the conjunction is:<em> "and"</em>
