What Is Significance Of The Death Of Clerval And The Creation Of The Wife?
Austin Finnegan 4T What Is Significance Of The Death Of Clerval And The Creation Of The Wife? This section of the book is very interesting and I found it one of best parts of the book. In Chapter 20, Frankenstein has almost finished creating the wife for the monster when he finds he has second thoughts. He thinks about the bad outcomes that his actions could cause. The new monster may not want to be the existing monster's wife, she could also be violent and if the monsters did like each other a whole new race of monsters could roam the earth - all of these gruesome possibilities halted Frankenstein's progress and he decided to stop. Frankenstein just did not want the responsibility of another roaming danger so he became strong and stood up to the monster. The monster confronted Frankenstein after seeing Frankenstein destroy the progress of the wife. "You can blast my other passions, but revenge remains -- revenge, henceforth dearer than light or food! I may die, but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery." (Chapter 20 - Page 162) This is significant because the monster is telling Frankenstein of what is to come. Frankenstein thought that he would die on his wedding night but little did he know that it would be his wife. However Clerval was next and Frankenstein was arrested in Ireland for the strangulation. He didn't
Shakespeare: Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V
Shakespeare: Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V This series of plays can be viewed as a whole divided into four movements. The publication dates of the quartos suggest that they were written in sequence giving grounds for the belief that when Shakespeare began Richard II, he had in mind the composition of a series finishing at the end of the reign of Henry V where the earlier Henry VI -- Richard III tetralogy had begun. The unity of the sequence is conveyed by the use of prophecy, which gains subsequent fulfilment, retrospective analyses, a continuity of themes common to all the plays and plots which override the boundaries of individual dramas. An outstanding feature of Richard II is prophecy. This becomes apparent in the early stages of the drama when Gaunt in extremis says 'Methinks I am a prophet new inspired' and wishes that his father had been gifted with foresight 'had thy grandsire with a prophet's eye' for he would have barred Richard from the throne. Prophetic vision comes to the fore when the relationship between king and subject is closely examined. The canon of the era was the divine right of kings and the duty of subjects to an anointed king. Gaunt states the case succinctly in defining the king as 'God's substitute/ His deputy anointed in His sight'. The subject is precluded from taking action against the king, be he ever so unjust, for as Gaunt says 'I may
Henry Ford
Chester Mumpower MGNT 4680 May 24, 2005 Henry Ford Henry Ford, an extremely hardworking man, was very curious in his early life because he liked to take things apart and ask many questions. He lead and designed the manufacturing of many cars, including the Model T which was the second largest selling car totaling over 15,000,000. In addition to doing this, he lead and managed an enormous company with the help of very few people. When Henry spoke, people listened. Henry had a few dreams that he thought would change the world. For example, he saw that most of the car companies were making cars for the very wealthy, but Ford looked beyond this and dreamed that every family in the United States would own their own car, even the poor farming families. Henry was born into a rather poor farming family during Abraham Lincoln's presidency on July 30, 1863, in a small town called Dearborn located in Michigan. During the first years of Henry's life, he would work on the farm, take his toys apart, and ask many questions such as, "How does a clock work?" (Marcus,p. 45). At the age of 16, Henry left home and found a job as a machinist apprentice. Then, from about 1880 until about 1884, he worked many other jobs usually fixing watches and clocks (Marcus, p.53). While doing this, he was learning more and more about mechanics. Then, in 1885, the first car was invented (Aird, p. 89).
Henry v111
How and why did England change from being a catholic country to being a protestant country between 1534and 1603? England changed from being a catholic country to being a protestant country between 1534and 1603 because of the actions taken by the four Tudor monarchs. They were influenced by the reformation but acted for very different reasons: Henry for his new love, for more power, and for more money. Edward because of his education, advisers and up bringing. Mary to restore the country to Catholicism and back to the times when she was a child and her mother ruled beside her father. Elizabeth wanted to make peace amongst England, to honour the religion she grew up with and resolve the question of which what religion is England. Henry changed England from a catholic country to a protestant one due to many reasons: love, money, power, faith and religion all of which played a massive part. Henry originally wanted to convert the country because although he was married to Catherine of Aragon, he was in fact in love with Anne Boleyn. The Catholic Church said that he couldn't divorce Catherine so inspired by the new religion created by Martin Luther, Henry converted England into a protestant country. Henry also gained a lot of power over the country, as he was now the only person they took orders from (the act of supremacy). Later he discovered that the churches had a lot of
Henry v111
How and why did England change from being a Catholic country to being a Protestant country between 1534 and 1603? England changed from being a Catholic country to being a Protestant country between 1534 and 1601 because of the actions taken by the four Tudor monarchs. They were influenced by the reformation but acted for very different reasons: Henry for mainly political reasons but there was also a love affair involved, Edward followed onto his father's acts, Mary believed faithfully in her religion and wanted a Catholic England and Elizabeth because she wanted more power and wanted to change England back to the religion with which she grew up with. Henry VIII changed religion for political reasons. Henry was bankrupt but he wanted to be powerful in Europe. He had already fought some very expensive wars in Europe and now desperately needed money. He was to fight a next battle against France but without money he would not be able to pay for all the weaponry and soldiers he needed to fight the battle. The monasteries were very rich and owned about a quarter of the land in the county. Henry knew that if he was able to overpower the church he would have the money he needed and more to pay for all his needs. Henry also had another reason to change the church. He wanted a son in order to be the heir to the Tudor throne. His wife, Catherine of Aragon, had given him a
Henry Parkes
Henry Parkes Henry Parkes was born in Warickshire on the 27th of May 1815. His mother and father lived in Stoneliegh, England, where the owned a wheat farm. Henry left Stoneliegh at a young age, when falling wheat prices forced the family to leave the land and seek employment in Birmingham. In 1836 Parkes married ClarindaVarney and after a further 3 years in England, decided to apply for assisted passage to Australia. The death of two of their infant children and a failed business venture influenced this decision. After arriving in Australia with his family in 1839, he quickly found work as a farm labourer. This didn't last long as the low wages didn't appeal to him. He left the farm and decide to move to Sydney so he could work in the Customs Department. Parkes always had an interest in politics and thought this would be perfect start to his career. Over the next few years Parkes went into business for himself and at one stage owned the Empire newspaper. He was elected into parliament and through this period became an influential person in the community, playing a major role in the cease of transportation of convicts to Australia. Eventually Parkes went bankrupt and narrowly escaped fraud charges as his debts exceeded 48,500 pounds (approximately $100,000). This forced him to retire from politics. Parkes managed to pay off his debts after turning to old friends and
Shakespeare's Henry V
Henry V Essay William Shakespeare is one of the most famous and influential writers of all time. His plays not only portray the past, but also aspects of love and hate, humour and tragedy. Henry V, written by Shakespeare, using Raphael Holinshed's historical chronicles, appealed to many of the citizens of that time, as it presented an insight into their country's past, as well as 'feel-good' nationalism. It would have been performed on stage at a time when Henry VIII had secluded the country of all contact with the Church of Rome. Providing the audience with its country's past glories and triumphs, the play counter-acts this feeling of seclusion and loss of identity with glorified achievement and renewal of patriotism. Henry V continues Shakespeare's series of historic plays; it follows Henry IV and is the predecessor to Henry VI. In Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2, the audience is introduced to Henry V. Henry is young and considered 'wild' as his days were spent in the 'Boars Head' among the likes of his dear friend, and father-figure, Sir John Falstaff, and the other members of the 'Eastcheap Mob' (Henry's 'greener days' are later referred to and mocked at by the French Dauphin). Once crowned King, these days, as well as the people who shared them with Henry, are quickly forgotten, and Falstaff soon dies of a 'broken heart', due to the disownment his 'son-figure' has pursued. We
Shakespeare's Henry V
Analyse Shakespeare's presentation of King Henry throughout the course of the play King Henry is the eponymous protagonist of the play 'Henry VI'. Shakespeare uses exposition at the very beginning of the play via the Chorus in the Prologue to give the audience clues of Henry's character, describing him as "Warlike Harry..., assume the port of Mars," Mars, being the God of War, therefore gives the audience the immediate impression that Henry is a mighty warrior. Exposition is also used in Act 1 Scene 1 via the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Ely. They tell the audience how Henry has grown from the wild youth of Prince Hal in 'Henry IV Parts I and II' into King Henry. From this section we learn many of Henry's characteristics. They describe him as a politician, "Hear him debate of commonwealth affairs," also as a tactful warrior, "List his decourse of War." Therefore in the opening lines of the play - the audience have a specific idea of what to expect when Henry enters. The audience is given the impression that Henry is a strong warrior by the Chorus in the Prologue. This goes on to become on the main aspects of Henry's character throughout the rest of the play. We first really see Henry's Warrior attitude in Act 3 Scene 1. This is the main speech before the battle of Harfleur; Shakespeare uses many literacy techniques to present Henry's warrior-like attitude.
Henry V Coursework
Melanie Parkes Henry V Coursework From "nimble-footed madcap Prince of Wales" to the "mirror of all Christian kings": Select what you consider to be some important episodes in the play and discuss Shakespeare's dramatic presentation of Henry's career. How does Henry come across to an audience as a man and a king? As a young man and heir to the throne, Henry is shown by Shakespeare to be ambitious, calculating and in some respects cold-hearted. At the end of Act One, Scene Two, comes one of the most important speeches in "Henry IV". Hal speaks his soliloquy in verse, which is a contrast to the light conversation earlier in the scene. The verse makes him seem more of a nobleman and is more fitting to the Prince of Wales. He knows that his friends are unsuitable for a prince and that his behaviour has attracted serious criticism. However: "...Herein will I imitate the sun, Who doth permit the base contagious clouds To smother up his beauty from the world." This is not the most endearing of speeches. We have just met Hal's friends and seen how he acts with them, yet here he is planning how he will "throw off" "this loose behaviour". He makes no reference to how he feels this would affect the people he is close to, and he appears only to aspire to his "reformation, glitt'ring o'er my fault". This seems particularly callous behaviour, as we are aware of the anguish Hal
Henry V Assignment
HENRY V ASSIGNMENT Henry V is an impressive piece of literature, which can be read in its entirety to oneself. However, if the full dramatic effectiveness is to be appreciated, it must be seen in its true context as a performance on stage. At the time Henry V was written, theatre played an important part in people's lives. It was a way of life, and people of all social levels went to see plays by their favourite playwright. Theatres in Elizabethan times took on a conventional style. They are described the Chorus in Henry V as a 'wooden O' as they were indeed wooden and ring shaped. At a performance in an Elizabethan theatre the place where you stood depended on your social level. Lower-class people or 'groundlings' as they would be called, stood on the ground, surrounding the stage. Here you would not only find people standing to watch the performance, but you would also find family pets and entertainers like Jugglers and Fire Eaters and the richer patrons of the theatre sat in the outer ring. In Henry V there are many scenes, which cannot be acted out on stage effectively. These are mainly the battle scenes, which would involve large armies of men in real life. Shakespeare managed to overcome this problem and keep his audience entertained. The chorus is the first person in the play to speak. He asks the audience "On your imaginary forces work." He makes excuses that
