James Baldwin talks about jazz music diving into themes like identity, community, and how art can change lives. Jazz becomes an important way for Sonny, the main character, to share his struggles and connect with others. First off, jazz helps Sonny figure out who he is despite tough times.

Jazz shows Sonny’s uniqueness and need for creative freedom. When he tells his brother, “It’s terrible sometimes, inside… you’ve got to let it out,” he’s saying that playing jazz is a key to…

Antonio and Sebastian are plotting to kill Alonso, the King of Naples, which shows their ambition and moral corruption. Antonio, who took the dukedom from his brother Prospero, pushes Sebastian to go ahead and murder Alonso while he’s asleep so they can grab the Neapolitan throne. This scene really highlights how manipulative Antonio is as he easily convinces Sebastian to act selfishly without caring about loyalty or family ties. It also suggests that Antonio thinks power can be taken by force without worrying about what happens next—just like when he betrayed Prospero. Sebastian’s willingness to go along with Antonio’s plan shows how easily he’s manipulated and his hunger for power.…

Both Ariel and Caliban are enslaved by Prospero, but their responses to this experience differ significantly. This difference is reflected in the following aspects:1. Conditions of Enslavement:– Ariel’s enslavement is a form of debt; she is loyal to Prospero, albeit reluctantly, with duties that are task-oriented or magical.– Caliban’s enslavement is physical; he performs menial tasks like gathering firewood and harbors deep hatred for Prospero. 2. Relationship with Prospero:– While Ariel occasionally shows impatience, she generally obeys Prospero respectfully, calling him “master,” as he promises her freedom.– In contrast, Caliban has an antagonistic relationship with Prospero, cursing and resisting his authority. 3. Desire for Freedom:– Ariel seeks freedom and views…

Gonzalo’s vision of an ideal society reflects his optimism, idealism, and deep-seated belief in equality and justice. He imagines a utopian world free from commerce, social hierarchy, and labor, a place where nature provides for everyone equally, and where people live in harmony without rulers or laws. Gonzalo’s utopia may be impractical, but it underscores the sincerity and integrity that define his character in The Tempest.

This storm is actually Prospero’s magic, a magic that makes people subservient. It crystallizes the power of those who hold it. But without this magic, the drama would be a different story. I have read others’ explanations. They compared the storm to Prospero’s rage after being betrayed and framed, but when the storm was over, everything went back to calm, echoing Prospero’s tolerance in the end that he eventually forgave his enemies and let them go.

—about “to Ulalume by Edgar Allan Poe” Edgar Allan Poe uses descriptive words to metaphor his abstract feeling and sets a gloomy tone for the whole poem.  He describes his drifting mind as roaming in the cypress forest, and his anger and endless grief as the lava rolling down the mountain toward the end of the world.  He described the moon, the stars, the dawn, as if to bring hope, but everything is just a delusion. He used “hasten” to imply his panic, “fly” to describe the eager to escape, and “wings” “trailed in the dust” to describe his struggle and surrender.  These are all used by the author to…
