The Aeneid: Book IV

1. Line 3: consumed by the fire buried in her heart. Line 68: These were the words that fanned her sister's fire. Virgil is trying to say that Dido's love is very strong and powerful because when you think of fire, you think of powerful flames that can burn anything in a second.

6. I would have used low-key lighting and a high angle because those two techniques would show that Dido was weak, and that there were dark and scary things going on. Line 824-825: her women see her doubled over the sword, the blood foaming over the blade.

The Odyssey Book 21 and 22

1. He did not have it at Troy because he does not fight with the bow, he only hunts with it. Lines 47-49. He kept it stored away in his stately house, guarding the memory of a cherished friend, and only took that bow on hunts at home.
2. She starts crying because she misses Odysseus. Line 62-65- Reaching tiptoe, lifting the bow down off its peg, still secure in the burnished case that held it, down she sank, laying the case across her knees and dissolved in tears with a high thin wail.
3. The prize is Penelope's house. Line 86-88- The hand that can string this bow with greatest ease, that shoots an arrow clean through all twelve axes-he is the man I follow, yes forsaking this house.
4. To line them up in a straight line because it would be impossible to shoot through them if they were not lined up perfectly.

Penelope

Old: In the Odyssey, Penelope is a weak character. In line 410 of book one, Penelope's son tells her what to do, and in line 415, she obeys him. This shows that Penelope is a weak character because she obeys her son, and she does not even try to fight back. She is the mother, therefore she is supposed to tell her son what to do, not the other way around.

New: Penelope is a powerless charachter in the Odyssey. In line 410 of book one, Penelope is bossed around by her son, and she obeys him with no objection. This shows that she is a powerless character because she does not make an attempt to object to her son about being bossed around. This also shows she is powerless because in most familys, the mother has more power than the son, therefore she should have more power over him.

The Odyssey Books 7 and 8

Friar's monologue paragraph

Shakespeare uses the Friar’s monologue to show that good and evil coexist. In lines 21 and 22 the Friar says Virtue if self turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified. This means that too much good can become bad. This also says that too much of a bad thing can also be a good thing. In line 23 the Friar says Poison hath residence and medicine power. This means that poison can be an extremely bad thing, but with the right dosage it can be helpful. I think he says this because he gave the potion to Juliet in order to make her sick but not to make her die. When doctors prescribe antibiotics, the antibiotics are actually poison used to kill the disease you have. In line 28 the Friar says In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will. He is saying that there is good in evil in every human being as well as in plants. This means that the person has to choose which one he wants to be.

Romeo and Juliet Act 5 Scene 3

1. Romeo is saying that Juliet is still beautiful even though she is "dead", and that death has not taken away her beauty. The irony of this is that Juliet is not dead.
2. Romeo says that death is amorous which means that death is full of love. Line 103: That unsubstantial Death is amorous.
3. The Friar is trying to convince Juliet to leave with him because he doesn't want Juliet to see Romeo. Line 159: Come, go, good Juliet. I dare stay no longer.
4. Juliet stabs herself with Romeo's dagger. We know this because in lines 169-170 she says Yea nosie? Then I'll be brief. O happy dagger. This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die. After this in parentheses it says she stabs herself and falls.
5. The prince says that he still respects the Friar for a holy man. Line 270: We still have known thee for a holy man.

Romeo and Juliet Act 4

In Act 4 of "Romeo and Juliet" Juliet reveals herself to be a frightened character. In line 15 of Act 4 Scene 3, Juliet says I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins. This shows that she is scared of taking the potion. If the potion doesn't work then she could die or even worse, marry Paris. In line 17 of Act 4 Scene 3, Juliet thinks about calling her mother and the nurse back into her room because she is so scared. This shows that she really is scared because if she calls them back into the room, they could find the potion. Juliet's mother could also make Juliet be watched through the night because of her strange behavior. This would result in Juliet not being able to drink the potion. In line 37 of Act 4 Scene 3, Juliet is scared of the horrible conceit of death and night. This means she is afraid of dying at night, and Romeo will be lonely if she dies. When you have thoughts about death, you often times think of more scary things. Juliet starts to think all about her dead family members including Tybalt.

Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 3

1. Romeo laughs and says that being banished is much worse than death. I think this is reasonable because Romeo and Juliet are married and in love, and Romeo would reather die than be separated from Juliet. Lines 13-14. For exhile hath much more terror in his look. Much more than death. Do not say "banishment"
2. Romeo says that the dog, cat, and mouse live on Earth (which Romeo calls Heaven) with Juliet. And Romeo cannot because he is being exhiled. Lines 32-33. Live here in heaven and may look on her; But Romeo may not.
3. Philosophy and Sweet milk are alike because Philosophy take your mind off the bad things and concentrate on what you belive, and Sweet milk is so good that it makes you think about good things. I personally do not agree with Friar's philosophy because you cannot take your mind off the bad things for forever.
4. Friar says that Romeo should be greatful because the Prince didn't kill him, Romeo killed Tybalt, and Romeo has a pack of blessings when he leaves. Lines 138,139, and 141. But thou slewest Tybalt. There art thou happy. The law, that threat'ned death, becomes thy friend.
A pack of blessings light upon thy back.

3. Romeo tells Benvolio to draw and beat down their (Capulets) weapons. Draw Benvolio; beat down their weapons.

5. Line 117: And in my temper soft'ned valor's steel!
6. Lady Capulet tells the prince to kill Romeo. A semi-colon is used.
7. The prince says that he is going to let Romeo leave, but if Romeo is found, then the Prince will kill Romeo. This complicates the plot because Mercutio was related to the Prince, and one would think that the Prince would be very angry, and the Prince would kill Romeo. Let Romeo hence in haste, Else, when he is found, that hour is his last.

And old King Priam was the first to see him coming, surging over the plain, blazing like the star that rears at harvest, flaming up in its brilliance, far outshining the countless stars in the night sky, that star they call Orion's Dog.
3. Homer chose these two similes because Achilles is ready to fight Hector and is very angry because it says that King Priam saw him and said he was brighter than any of the stars which mean that he is obviously not trying to hide, and he is not afraid to fight. Also it says that he rushed on like a stallion which means that he is ready to get there. The tone of the battle is going to be very violent and Achilles is going to win. Lines 26-29, 31-36. (Lines have been written on previous two questions) Lines 44-47. Oh Hector dont just stand there, dont, dear child waiting that man's attack--alone , cut off from friends! You'll meet your doom at once, beaten down by Achilles, so much stronger than you.

5. Hector thinks about giving Helen back to Achilles, but decides not to because Hector thinks that Achilles will kill him anyway. Lines: 136, 147-148: why, I could promise to give back Helen, yes. I must not go and implore him. He'll show no mercy, no respect for me, my rights--he'll cut me down.
