Détails de la réponse
The effect of the extract "But the towering earth was tired of sitting in one position. She moved suddenly and the houses crumbled, the mountains heaved horrible, and the work of a million years was lost" is conveyed through the use of climax. Climax is a literary device where the intensity of a situation or event increases gradually to reach a peak. In this extract, the tension builds as the description of the earth's movement becomes more dramatic. The use of the word "suddenly" adds to the effect, making the reader feel the abruptness of the earth's movement. The climax is reached with the phrase "the work of a million years was lost," which emphasizes the devastating effects of the earthquake.

Détails de la réponse
A dramatic performance with only bodily movements and no speech is a mime. Mime is a form of theater in which actors use only their bodies, facial expressions, and gestures to convey a story or message to the audience. The performers do not speak, but instead use movements and gestures to imitate actions and emotions. Mime is a visual art form that has been popular for centuries, and is often associated with silent movies and street performers. It is a form of non-verbal communication that relies on the audience's imagination to fill in the details of the story being told.

Speaker: Let me speak like yourself and
Lay a sentence
Which, as a grise or step, may help these lovers, When
remediea are past, the griefs are ended
By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended
(Act !, Scene Three, lines 198-201)
The speaker is_________
Détails de la réponse
In the given quote from Shakespeare's play "Othello," the speaker is the Duke. The Duke is speaking to the Senators of Venice and proposing a plan to help Desdemona and Othello reconcile after their elopement. The Duke suggests that they send Othello to Cyprus to lead the Venetian forces there, and that Desdemona should accompany him, with her father's permission. The Duke hopes that by separating Desdemona from her father and by giving Othello an opportunity to prove himself, the couple will be able to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their happiness. The Duke's speech is significant because it shows his concern for the welfare of his subjects, and his willingness to take action to solve their problems. It also foreshadows the events that unfold in the rest of the play, particularly those related to Othello's military career and his relationship with Desdemona. Overall, the Duke's speech is an important moment in the play that sets the stage for the conflicts and resolutions that follow.
