Who is the voice of reason in the musical phantom of the opera?

It depends on which part of the plot you are referring to.Madame Giry warns everyone in the opera house not to anger the Phantom and abide by his wishes lest something terrible happen.Raoul tries to calm Christine and reason with her about what she has seen and heard from the Phantom, believing the opera ghost not to exist in the beginning, and later explaining to her that he is merely a man.


What are some quotes from 'Antigone'?

Quotes from the play 'Antigone' may serve to remind readers of the plot, to generate discussion. One such early example is the observation by the main character of the same name that '...I owe a longer allegiance to the dead than to the living: in that world I shall abide for ever'. Another is Ismene's characterization of her sister Antigone as 'Thou hast a hot heart for chilling deeds'. Still another is Ismene's warning, 'A hopeless quest should not be made at all'. And the chorus has the concluding advice of 'Nothing that is vast enters into the life of mortals without a curse' and of 'Wisdom is the supreme part of hapiness... . Great words of prideful men are ever punished with great blows, and, in old age, teach the chastened to be wise'.


Did the feud between the Montagues and Capulets start over nothing or did something REALLY happened to make both families to hate each other?

Shakespeare does not tell us what the origin of the feud is. Something must have happened, but it might well have been some trivial incident blown out of proportion by these two proud and ambitious rival families. It is clear that whatever the original cause of the dispute, it has small hold on the heads of the families--Capulet seems content to abide by the no fighting rule if Montague is also bound by it, and to allow Romeo to crash his parties without consequence. Montague does not seem eager to fight either. They both get dragged into it by guys like Tybalt, Samson and Gregory, who feel they have a duty to fight Montagues (even though they are not Capulets themselves but servants or off-relatives of people related by marriage).


What types of comedy did Shakespeare use in Henry V?

In no particular order . . .1) Accent fun. The characters of Fluellen, Macmorris and Jamy in Act 3, Scene 2 all speak In thick accents, and accents can be very funny. Fluellen in particular has a peculiar grasp of the English language which is very amusing whenever he speaks throughout the play. All of these characters also have amusing verbal tics, I warrant you.2) Interlingual dirty puns. Act 3 Scene 4 is entirely in French and is devoted to the humour to be had from the similarity of certain innocent English words with certain very naughty French words. Sort of the reverse of the giggles you get from the very innocent French words phoque and conte.3) Malapropisms. The speciality of the Hostess in Act 2 Scene 3 especially. The death of Falstaff ought to be a serious matter, but it is not, due to the Hostess's imperfect command of the language. "Boy: They were devils incarnate. Hostess: 'A could never abide carnation; 'twas a colour he never liked."4) Dramatic Irony. In Act 2 Scene 2 where the King asks Cambridge, Scroop and Grey whether a man guilty of lese majesté ought to be severely punished, when he knows and we know he knows that they themselves are guilty of treason. But they do not know that he knows and recommend harshness to the other man which Henry will use against them. Also in Act 4 Scene 1 where Williams challenges the King to a fight, not knowing him to be the king (rather like Robin Hood) which is amusing when the King reveals himself in Scene 8 of that act.5) More language confusion. In Act 4 Scene 4 where Pistol is attempting to communicate with his French captive when he has no French and his captive no English.6) Just plain dirty puns. Especially in Act 3 Scene 7 after the Dauphin says "my horse is my mistress."7) Yet more interlingual confusion. Princess Katherine and Henry's conversation in Fringlish in Act 5.8) Social inappropriateness. Especially in Act 5 where Henry uses the manners he learned in Eastcheap with the extremely toney Princess. Reminding us of Petruchio, he insists on calling her Kate and demands a smooch.. . . I hope that's enough.


What is the summary of the poem 'Tithonus' by Alfred Tennyson?

There are some rules of life which should be followed by everyone. Everyone should be administered/governed by the ordinances that rule all men. If one breaks this rule he must suffer. Tithonus wanted to be immortal but he didn't remember that immortality without youth is useless. By asking for immortality, death couldn't touch him but time (sister of Eros/Aurora) took revenge for death from Tithonus. Time made him so weak that he was no worthier than dust. Thus the summary of this poem is that each and every man should abide by the rules of nature. The poems 'Tithonus', 'Morte d'Arthur' , 'Ulysses' and 'Tiresias' were written by Tennyson following the death of his bosom friend Arthur Henry Hallam. 'Tithonus' is greatly influenced by the death that it expresses his emotional injury on the incident. He tries to philosophies the truth of death to console himself.In Greek mythology, a human, Tithonus falls in love with the Goddess of Dawn, Aurora also known as Eos. The goddess pleads to Zeus The King of Gods to grand Tithonus immortality. But she forgets to ask immortal youth and Zeus instantly grands immortality but without immortal youth. Time,companion to Dawn is jealous with the relation and takes revenge on Tithonus by crippling him into the extreme old age as time passes. Yet, he cannot die as he is an immortal. In the poem,but Tennyson assumes that Eos had granted the gift of immortality to Tithonus which makes Tennyson's Tithonus different from the mythology.Here, Tithonus is old and ugly like a shadow with white hair while Eos is still young and beautiful and he is shattered by the thought that being extremely old and weak he can no longer be husband to the goddess and wants to die like all men. But he cannot die as he is an immortal and now he wants the gift of immortality to be taken back.But once a gift granted by the Gods cannot be taken back and Eos have only tears for the struggles of Tithonus.She cries and runs off without being able to answer him.He remembers the first time they met when he was young and strong. Her kisses and love were warm and full of passion.But now, her eyes are filled with tears of love and pain seeing the pitiful sufferings of her husband and her tears fall on his cheek as she leaves weeping.He says that Hours, companion to Dawn was jealous to their relation and as it passed made him ugly,weak and maimed by old age. Tithonus says that death is a gift to man who can live and die happily.He is born in the soil,works in the soil and after death is buried in the soil.The woods decay and fall,the swan dies but only Tithonus is decaying in the cruel hands of immortality unable to die. He says that no man should desire immortality as they might have to suffer his fate.He pleads to Eos to let him go free from the East where Dawn dwells to the land of happy men who have the power to die.He says that if she would change him back to a mortal he would happily go and die to dissolve in the soil.She can forget him and him her and that he would happier be dead.The poem is a dramatic monologue where Eos is the mute listener.
