Eulogy From Gwendelon's 'Humorous Wedding'
Ladies and gentlemen I thank you all kindly for coming to the joyous union of my dear daughter Gwendelon and my nephew Ernest as well as the unification of my nephew Algernon and the affluent Cecily. I have never been more excited to have a gathering of this magnitude in light of the recent revolutionary antics. Although that is a crisis for another time I suppose.

To the ever lovely Gwendelon I have the utmost confidence in your future relationship with Mr. Worthing. Or is it Moncrieff now? The whole debacle was quite a loop, though I must say it made quiet a honest man out of Ernest. I know that Ernest will be a extraordinarily ordinary husband. A lady such as yourself should always strive to stay particularly ordinary in all aspects. As for you Ernest, my boy you embody a perfect gentleman. Never forgotten your goals, even if there needs to be a slight bit of exaction, are always reached.

Cecily my dear child you are in for nothing less than an adventure with my nephew Algernon. He always knows how to experience the finer things in life, even when his wallet is less than pleased. I pray you learn to cook almost as

It is a shame that Mr. Bunbury couldn’t be here on this joyous day. I suppose his dear friend Algernon would have loved if could have lived to see this day. Although I must say that it was quite courteous of him to have made his mind up on death so abruptly. There is no doubt that my nephews will make fine husbands. My daughter Gwendelon shall be more than an suitable wife. As for Ms. Cardew, to whom I have not know for very long, her riches lay far beyond her striking beauty. So far infact that my nephew Algy will have the pick of not one but three dwellings. This is such a joyus occasion of love. You should always remember to love each other, but not so much so that it is obvious to anyone other than

    “Feeling wouldn’t run half so high if this had happened to anyone except the Clutters. Anyone less admired. Prosperous. Secure. But that family represented everything people hereabouts really value and respect, and that such a thing could happen to them –well , it’s like being told there is no God. It makes life seem pointless.” (88)…

    An ethnicity that I do not identify myself with would be the Lango people in Uganda. The song that I have chosen to use as a snapshot of this ethnicity is a Twon Gweno Wedding song because marriage is super important to the Lango people. These people to this day still use a practice called polygyny (when a man has more than one wife) and has an asking price of about 14 heads of cattle and a great deal of other animals/goods such as goats, cloth, cooking pots, and hoes. Many can not afford the bride price so young boys start thinking about this dilemma and how to solve it. If the boy gains support from his mother, she can see if cattle from her husband’s heard can be put aside for the bride price.…

    In the poem “A Letter to Her Husband, Absent Upon Public Employment,” Anne Bradstreet addresses the importance of her husband’s presence in her life and the emotions she experiences when he is gone at work. Clearly demonstrating education unfamiliar to women in the 1600’s as well as passion not commonly found in her time’s literary works, Bradstreet successfully portrays the connection she feels between her and her husband and the consequences of such a connection. Using earthly, physical and scientific comparisons, Bradstreet shows that her husband is the center of her world, but also attends to the fact that it does not mean he has officially replaced…

    Mrs. Mallard Eulogy

    • 352 Words
    • 1 Page

    Hello and thank you all for coming. Today we are gathered to mourn the loss of a spectacular individual who stood next to me through the thick and thin, through the good and bad, and has left my heart with a crater big enough to engulf the world, Mrs. Mallard. She was a faithful and devout woman whom I am proud to call my wife. We spent many years together, during which I always tried to make her happy. Yet recently all the memories of her and I have come flooding back to me in tidal waves of emotions, and after consideration I feel I have not done enough. I did not cherish every second of every minute of every hour I was with her and it devastates me at this time, but that’s how it always goes I suppose. But not for her. Mrs. Mallard ensured my life was as simplistic and easy going as she could. Whether it was her loving support, physical labors, or the smiles she would give me which could outshine the moon. She would always know what I needed and would move mountains to make sure I had it. Her affection was so strong that it ultimately caused her passing. After being told I had perished in a mining incident she become so distressed that her heart could not handle the news that I was still alive. She had always had complications with that immense heart of hers, it was her Achilles heel. The one thing which chained her from ascending to the perfect woman, the one trade off which god decided he needed to bestow upon her so she would not take the role of a demi-god. However I know now that she is the most eloquent and beautiful angel heaven has ever seen and they will treasure her in ways I never could. This is the only fact which has kept me sane through this abysmal time. Everyone will now be able to pay their individual respects to Mrs. Mallard, and once again thank you for coming.…
