William Shakespeare’s multidimensional comedy Twelfth Night dismantles and obliterates socially constructed limitations regarding biological and assumed gender and identity‚ thus emphasising that nothing is certain‚ rather‚ a matter of perspective. The reader to an emphatic extent becomes an integral part of the way language forms and shapes the reality of the play. Therefore‚ language instructs initial perceptions and the foundational reality of the reader but not final perceptions and ultimate

Many devices are used in this poem to show the raw harsh night of November. The first line is a simile ‘tinkles like ice’ the word ‘ice’ represents the harshness and how painful ice is. When we look at the form of the poem‚ we can see how the poet uses enjambment to continue in what’s being said.

Night The Holocaust was an awful thing. I don’t think it was right at all. It definitely should not had happen at all. It was an unlawful act by humans on other humans. Ellie and all the other survivors are very brave and courageous people for sharing the horrific stories with the rest of the world.

Our minds are murky and dull. We tend to only remember the important situation in our lives. Yet we don’t remember the importance of our own history. I say OUR history be
