Power 2
Number of words: 1274 | Number of pages: 5.... because it gives a person a sense of who they are, an identity. In “No Name Woman”, Kingston’s aunt had no identity except for the story her mother told her and in “Mary” Marguerite’s new boss, Mrs. Cullinan changed her name to Mary which then, in a way, removed Marguerite’s original identity and gave her a new one, one she didn’t want.

The Waste Land
Number of words: 1245 | Number of pages: 5.... used to describe the event is very rich and vivid:
red, sweaty, stony. These words evoke an event that is without the
cares of modern life- it is primal and hot. A couple of lines later
Eliot talks of "red sullen faces sneer and snarl/ From doors of
mudcracked houses" (ll. 344-345). These lines too seem to contain
language that has a primal quality to it.
From the primal roots of ceremony Eliot shows us the contrast
of broken ceremonies. Some of these ceremonies are broken because
they are lacking vital components. A major ceremony in The Waste Land
is that of sex. The ceremony of sex is broke .....

The Merchant Of Venice 2
Number of words: 1035 | Number of pages: 4.... or two
Before you hazard, for in choosing wrong
I lose your company. Therefore forbear awhile.
There’s something tells me (but it is not love)
I would not lose you, and you know yourself
Hate consels not in such a quality.
But lest you should not understand my well-
And yet a maiden hath no tongue but thought-
I would detatin you here some month or two
Before you venture for me. I could teach you
How to choose right, but then I am forsworn.
So will I never be; so may you miss me;
But if you do, you’ll make me wish a sin-
That I had been forsworn. Beshrew your eyes!
They have o’ .....

Hamlet 4
Number of words: 3130 | Number of pages: 12.... than one social class in his theatrical productions. These
Shakespearean theaters have a unique construction, which had specific seats
for the wealthy, and likewise, a designated separate standing section for the
peasants. This definite separation of the classes is also evident in
Shakespeare's writing, in as such that the nobility of the productions speak
in poetic iambic pentameter, where as the peasants speak in ordinary prose.
Perhaps Shakespeare incorporated these double meanings to the lines of his
characters with the intent that only a select amount of his audience were
meant to hear it in either its double .....
