It is ironic that the words inscribed on the pedestal "Look on my works. . . and despair!" reflect the evidence of the next line, "Nothing beside remains," that is, there is nothing left of the reign of the greatest king on earth.One immediate image is found in the second line, "trunkless legs.". One good comparison may be when the author equates the passions of the statue's frown, sneer, and wrinkled lip to the "lifeless things" remaining in the "desart." Another is when Shelley compares the "Works" of with "Nothing beside remain .....

Richard II
Words: 957 - Pages: 4.... situation. When Richard pronounces that Mowbray and Bolingbroke shall fight to the death "At Coventry upon St. Lambert's Day" (I, i, 199), the reader could mistake this act of 'showmanship' as the act of a leader who was ready to stand up and take action when a problem arose. However, as we see later, in Act 1 scene 3, Richard's order for Mowbray and Bolingbroke's lives to answer their accusations was only to fuel Richard's own desire to be the centre of attention; it was his 'showman' quality that lead him to do this, not his ability to take action when a situation that required good leadership skills arose.
In Act 3, scene 2, .....

culturally or geographically located.
For Jean Rhys, Jane Eyre depicted representations of a Creole woman and West Indian history which she knew to be inaccurate. ‘Bertha Mason is mad; and she came from a mad family; idiots and maniacs through three generations. Her mother, the Creole, was both a madwoman and a drunkard!’ She is further described as having a ‘discoloured face’, ‘a savage face’ with ‘fearful blackened
inflation’ of the features, ‘the lips were swelled and dark’; de .....

Colerdige’s Use Of Imagery In The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Words: 810 - Pages: 3.... portrayal of the Mariner, adds to the highly-charged emotional intensity of the poem by adding colour to the mental picture, whilst at the same time stressing the unnatural and mysteries nature of the ballad.
"With throats unslacked, with black lips baked,
We could nor laugh nor wail"
The disturbing physical image the Mariner presents is a result of the severe and unrelenting punishment he has sustained due to the shooting of an albatross; a sadistic, wanton act of cruelty, completely without motive. Due to this sin, the Mariner is thrust into the horrors of his penance. In such a way it seems as if the Ballad is a human truth, a spir .....

The Rhetorical Styles Of King
Words: 2793 - Pages: 11.... use of ethos, pathos, and logos as the foundations for creating these arguments.
Before we can examine the writing on the basis of these three elements, we must first understand the meanings of each. They were conceptualized by Aristotle as the keys to persuading an audience. Ethos, directly translated, means “worthy of belief,” and deals with establishing credibility. Pathos involves “putting hearers…into the right frame of mind with regard to certain issues and the speakers persuasive intent” (Smith 83). Logos includes the arguments that are used to make a point, and involves the basis upon which the argu .....

Imagery In John Donnes The Bro
Words: 568 - Pages: 3.... this Donne has been deathly ill for what he thinks is a year. Love, to Donne is something that you think about for a long time so, therefore, it seems that you have loved someone for that long but in reality it is only a short period of time. According to Donne, love is very powerful and causes the widespread destruction to thousands.
Donne also uses the image of despair and depression. In the second stanza, he says “Ah, what a trifle is a heart, if once into love’s hands it come!” In these lines Donne gives us the image of a hand of love and a big heart touching it. Once the heart touches the hand, it begins to shrink .....
