Describe one instance of dramatic irony in act II of twelfth night
Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night follows the outline of Elizabethan comedy as it has the elements of mistaken identity, separated twins, and gender-crossing disguise. With these elements comes the dramatic irony that contributes to the comedic effect of the play.
One instance of dramatic irony in act II of Twelfth Night is when Cesario/Viola describes the person he/she loves to Orsino, and we know that she is actually describing Orsino himself. Another is when Malvolio finds the letter and thinks it is from Olivia, but we know it was written by Maria.

Using these lines from Act I and Act IV, explain how the Macbeth described in the beginning of the play is different from the Macbeth who is speaking these lines in ACT IV. ACT I Soldier But all's too weak; For brave Macbeth,—well he deserves that name,— Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smok'd with bloody execution, Like valor's minion,Carv'd out his passage Till he fac'd the slave; And ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements. Duncan. O valiant cousin! worthy gentleman! ACT IV Macbeth. Time, thou anticipat'st my dread exploits: The flighty purpose never is o'ertook Unless the deed go with it: from this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand. And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done: The castle of Macduff I will surprise; Seize upon Fife; give to the edge o' the sword His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls That trace him in his line. No boasting like a fool; This deed I'll do before this purpose cool: But no more sights!—
Answer:
At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is seen as an honorable soldier to his peers. The soldier in Act I describes him as "brave Macbeth," going on to say "he deserves that name, — Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smok'd with bloody execution.” Ironically, King Duncan, a future victim of Macbeth's assaults even exclaims "valiant cousin! worthy gentleman!" The dialogue implies that Macbeth's character is moral and righteous. This serves as a contradiction to the Macbeth that is present in Act IV, whose characteristics can be described as vile and immoral. In Macbeth's monologue of his conflict with Macduff, he says "The castle of Macduff I will surprise; Seize upon Fife; give to the edge o' the sword His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls That trace him in his line." Expressing his murderous plans to slaughter Macduff's entire family conveys Macbeth's wicked traits, and ultimately differs from the honorable and moral Macbeth in Act I.
Explanation:
which explains why Mr. Craven decide to see Mary
Mr. Craven's decision to see Mary likely stems from complex motivations related to plot developments or emotional revelations that signify a turning point in his character arc.
Explanation:The student's question pertains to a character's motivation in a narrative, specifically Mr. Craven's decision to see Mary. To explain Mr. Craven's motive, we would need to consider the context of the story, his prior interactions with Mary, and any developments that may have influenced his decision to meet with her. Character motivations can often be complex, framed by the narrative's circumstances, and challenged or transformed by the experiences they encounter. Literary characters like Mr. Craven might see another character like Mary due to a change of heart, a pivotal plot development, or a realization that compels them to take action or seek resolution.
For example, if Mr. Craven's decision is prompted by a significant event or emotional revelations, these factors would be crucial in understanding why he chooses to see Mary. In literature, such meetings typically signal a turning point or evolution in a character's journey. These insights help unpack the layers of a narrative and enrich our appreciation of the character's progression.

Which would be most helpful when comparing Penelope with Odysseus and how they changed in The Odyssey? It would be most helpful to consider Penelope’s actions toward her servants. It would be most helpful to consider Odysseus’s words to his men. It would be most helpful to consider both characters’ reactions to the suitors. It would be most helpful to consider both characters’ physical appearance.
It would be most helpful to consider both characters´ reactions to the suitors.
Penelope, during Odysseus´ absence, has grown meticulous, calculative, and above all, precautious —as it is most famously depicted in her supposed weaving of a burial shroud for Odysseus´ father, a task that allows her to postpone making a decision as to which suitor she would choose. Odysseus, on the other hand, having returned from his long journey, is still a very ingenious character, the trait that most clearly characterizes him —in this instance, he disguises himself as a beggar in order to be able to plot his revenge—, but this time it is rage and fury that dominate him —this part of the Odyssey, book, 22, is very likely the most violent book in the whole of Homer´s Epic— as he slays the suitors.

With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
–"I Have a Dream,"
Martin Luther King Jr.
Which phrase uses connotation to support King’s purpose of inspiring hope by showing the beauty of an equal society?
“with this faith”
“a stone of hope”
“symphony of brotherhood”
“to struggle together”
The correct answer is "symphony of brotherhood"
Explanation:
The connotation refers to the associations or the ideas a word or expression evokes in people, which is not the literal or dictionary meaning but depends on the context and personal experiences people had. The excerpt presented which belongs to the speech "I Have a Dream" that aimed at showing the importance of ending inequality and racism the author Martin Luther King Jr. uses the connotation of different words and expressions in order to support its purpose of inspiring people to end with the racism in the U.S.
One example of this is the expression "symphony of brotherhood" whose connotative meaning is linked to the sense of belonging to a group in which all members support and love each other in the way brothers do and therefore the connotation of the "symphony of brotherhood" show people an ideal society in which equality is possible. Thus, the phrase that uses connotation to support the purpose of inspiring hope by showing the beauty of an equal society is "symphony of brotherhood" because this is the only phrase that showed to the audience through positive associations (connotations) the harmony that is possible to achieve is inequality is ended.
Answer:

Explanation:
According to the lesson what part of speech is often stressed in iambic pentameter
In iambic pentameter, the stressed part of speech is the second syllable in each iamb, following an unstressed syllable, creating a distinctive rhythmic pattern.
The part of speech that is often stressed in iambic pentameter is the syllable. Specifically, the second syllable of each iamb is stressed, following an unstressed syllable. In iambic pentameter, each line is composed of five iambs, hence the prefix 'penta,' which means five. Each iamb consists of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, creating a rhythmic pattern similar to a heartbeat.
For example, in Shakespeare's Sonnet 18, the line 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?' demonstrates iambic pentameter, where the bolded syllables are stressed and the non-bolded, unstressed. This pattern gives the poetry its distinctive rhythm and sound.

Hope this helps :)The aqua lung bringing ocean exploration to new depths what is the author's purpose in writing this passage
The purpose of the article, “The Aqua Lung: Bringing Ocean Exploration to New Depths,” is to inform. It is an informative article. Like the title suggests, the aqua lung did bring undersea exploration to new depths (which is a pun, by the way), by manner of making exploration available to “ordinary people.” The way you can determine what the purpose is in an article is by looking at the beginning first couple of paragraphs as well as the ending paragraph. The beginning, as you know, will have the thesis (or topic), and this is where you’ll get the clues with regard to what the point of the writing is. As you may probably also know, the ending (or conclusion) is where the thesis/topic will be reiterated. As such, you’ll be looking for what is said twice—at the beginning and at the end. In the beginning, it is noted that the Aqua Lung “made it possible for more people to explore the ocean’s depths.” And, in the ending it states that “Cousteau’s greatest legacy as a conservationist may have been giving ordinary people the tools needed to view the wonders of the ocean firsthand.”
It can be deduced that the purpose or theme of aqua lung bringing ocean exploration is to illustrate the new ways of exploration to the readers.
What is a theme?It should be noted that a theme simply means the main idea in a literary work.
In this case, the purpose of aqua lung bringing ocean exploration is to illustrate the new ways of exploration to the readers.
