    heartbreak. As a good friend‚ Benvolio suggested that going to the feast would clear his mind and ease his heartbreak. As Tybalt saw Romeo at the party‚ he refers to him as‚ “a villain that is hither come in spite; to scorn at our solemnity this night” (Shakespeare I. V. 69-71). Tybalt is insisting that the only reason why Romeo and his Montague friends had shown up to the gathering was to provoke trouble‚ thus creating more tension between the two families. On Romeo’s behalf‚ this was a poor decision because

    This Hamlet play is charismatic and unique and it’s completely different from any play you’ve ever seen. Recently‚ I had the pleasure of seeing one of William Shakespeare’s most favourite plays Hamlet‚ performed beautifully at the Toronto Centre for the Arts Theatre in downtown Toronto. It is completely a mesmerizing production that featured some modern acting from all of the actors. A quick glimpse of the performance area looked more like a lecture hall than an art house‚ however at the beginning

    Ethan A. Proffitt ENG 243 Phil Ferguson 11-17-14 Sonnet 130 William Shakespeare’s 130th sonnet is perhaps the most intriguing and conceptually bizarre. The majority of his sonnets on the subject of women detail how lovely and fair they are‚ or how he is unable to serenade them (often because of a superior man); this particular example is an utter contradiction to his other female-based works. The central idea of the speaker here is to describe the appearance of his love interest to someone else‚

    Petrarch’s Influence on Shakespeare An excerpt from Petrarch and his influence on English literature by Pietro Borghesi. Bologna: N. Zanichelli. Shakespeare‚ even the great Shakespeare‚ could not escape the influence of the Petrarchists and therefore of Petrarch himself‚ but‚ as we do not want to be misunderstood‚ we say at once just what we said about Spenser: Shakespeare is not a Petrarchist and perhaps his poetical vein is more akin to Dante’s than to Petrarch’s. In order to show that he is

    Sonnet 75

    • 5 Pages

    Both Spenser ’s Sonnet 75 and Shakespeare ’s Sonnet 19 similarly claim to bestow immortality upon the beloved. Despite similar themes‚ however‚ these sonnets contrast sharply. Spenser ’s sonnet ostensibly reports a conversation between the poet and his beloved‚ whereas Shakespeare ’s sonnet directly addresses personified time‚ and shows the greater dramatic flair. Spenser ’s first two words‚ "One day"‚ eschew drama by setting his poem in a vague and unparticularised past. Line 1 tells
