JULIUS CAESAR

QUESTION:IN WHAT WAYS DOES SHAKESPEARE MAKE CAESAR DOMINATE THE PLAY  EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH?

After Cassius had committed suicide he was forgotten in the play after his death unilke Caesars as Cassius had no role to play after his death. After Caeser's death many problems arose in Rome unlike Cassius'. After Caesar's death, Caesar played an important role for starting the war and continuing it as well. In the camp the ghost of Caesar had appeared causing a theme of fear in the drama, when the ghost says 'meet you at philippi' it creates fear in Brutus's mind as when a ghost says he will meet you that means your death is nearing, thus continuing to dominate and rule the play even after his death.

My Greatest Ambition

The first hint of Nu’s sense of disillusionment comes in when he arrives at the Boy Magazine offices. The building turned out to be “not at all imposing or impressive”, and there were “no neon, no massive areas of plate glass, no exotic plants”. Nu was even more disappointed when he stepped into the interior of the offices because what he saw was so “ordinary”. The tone of his description of the offices portrays his disappointment as well as the first signs of his dream crashing.

Her First Ball - PEEP

Mansfield beautifully portrays a woman's mind and her thoughts on her first ball. She brilliantly magnifies to the readers that how even the most trivial matters make a big deal for the women and depicts how they enjoy the excitement and last minute chaos before the big event. Mansfield highlights Leila's most insignificant and slightest expressions, showing her excitement towards the ball, and the readers are truly amused. Also, scrutinizing how she 'tried not to smile too much' and 'tried not to care' , the readers understand and empathize with Leila's mixed feelings of nervousness, happiness, excitement and anxiousness.

PEEP - Continuum

Curnow depicts magnificently his state of mind in the poem as continuously wavering, and shows how he is  submerged in a deep pool of thoughts. The readers witness his impatience, his restlessness, despite his focus and concentration on searching for new ideas. The readers understand how he is lost in his pool of thoughts and can understand that it is 'not possible' to 'get off to sleep', in that state of mind late at night.
