I shall go away tomorrow too.” (243) John chooses to disappear from the New World rather than to be an experiment for the controllers. The choices of words shows that he uses the choice of words Shakespeare would dictate. His tone is serious and a little angry towards the people. It is ironic how John went to the New World thinking it would be better for him‚ but all it’s been is trouble and difficult for him. John

In the poem‚ “Never Give All the Heart” by William Butler Yeats‚ the speaker of the poem is a man with a broken heart. Literally‚ the poem speaks about a man blinded by love‚ who has given his whole heart to a woman just to have it broken.

This means that what is said is not what is actually meant. As readers‚ we know that the barber is a rebel himself and Captain Torres is his enemy. Torres is hunting down the rebels
