Bloodlines Chapter Seven

â€Å"ADRIAN?† I SAID IN SURPRISE. â€Å"What's he have to do with any of this?† Jill simply shook her head and looked at me beseechingly. â€Å"Please. Just take me to him.† â€Å"But we'll be back there in a couple days for your feeding.† â€Å"I know,† said Jill. â€Å"But I need to see him now. He's the only one who will understand.† I found that hard to believe. â€Å"You're saying I wouldn't? Or that even Eddie wouldn't?† She groaned. â€Å"No. You can't tell Eddie. He'll flip out.† I tried not to frown as I mulled everything over. Why would Jill need to see Adrian after this mishap at school? Adrian couldn't do anything to help that I couldn't. As an Alchemist, I was in the best position to file a complaint. Did Jill just want moral support? I remembered how Jill had hugged Adrian goodbye and suddenly wondered if she had a crush on him. Because surely, if Jill needed to feel protected by someone, Eddie would be a better source to turn to. Or would he? Eddie was likely to go throwing office desks around in his outrage. Keeping this from him might not be a bad idea. â€Å"Okay,† I said at last. â€Å"Let's go.† I signed us out for off-campus travel, which took a little finagling. Mrs. Weathers was quick to point out that Jill had been banished to her dorm for the rest of the school day. I was equally quick to point out that classes were almost done, technically meaning the school day was almost finished. Mrs. Weathers couldn't fault the logic but still made us wait the full ten minutes until the last bell rang. Jill sat there, tapping her foot anxiously against the chair. We drove the half hour to Clarence's estate in the hills, saying little. I didn't really know what kind of small talk to make. â€Å"How was your first day of school?† was hardly an appropriate topic. And anyway, each time I thought about it, I just grew angrier. I couldn't believe any teacher would have the audacity to accuse Jill of drinking and having a hangover. There was really no way to prove something like that, and besides, you could tell after spending five minutes with her that it was impossible. A middle-aged human woman greeted us at the door. Her name was Dorothy, and she was Clarence's housekeeper and feeder. Dorothy was pleasant enough, if a little distracted, and wore a stiff gray dress with a high collar to hide the bite marks on her neck. I smiled back at her and maintained my professional mode but couldn't help a shudder when I thought about what she was. How could anyone do that? How could anyone offer their blood up willingly like that? My stomach lurched, and I found myself keeping my distance from her. I didn't even want to accidentally brush her arm when I walked past. Dorothy escorted us back to the room we'd all been sitting in the day before. There was no sign of Clarence, but Adrian was lying on a plush green couch, watching a TV that had been cleverly concealed inside an ornate wooden cabinet last time. When he saw us, he turned the TV off with a remote control and sat up. Dorothy excused herself and shut the French doors behind her. â€Å"Well, this is a nice surprise,† he said. He looked us over. Jill had changed into her normal clothes during her isolation today, but I still had on the Amberwood blouse and skirt. â€Å"Sage, aren't you guys supposed to have uniforms? This looks like what you usually wear.† â€Å"Cute,† I said, suppressing an eye roll. Adrian gave me a mock bow. â€Å"Careful. You almost smiled.† He reached for a bottle of brandy sitting on a nearby table. Small glasses were arranged around it, and he poured himself a generous amount. â€Å"You guys want one?† â€Å"It's the middle of the afternoon,† I said incredulously. Not that it'd really matter for me what time of day it was. â€Å"I've got a wicked hangover,† he declared, giving us a mock toast. â€Å"This is just the thing to cure it.† â€Å"Adrian, I need to talk to you,† said Jill earnestly. He looked over at her, the smirk fading from his face. â€Å"What's up, Jailbait?† Jill glanced uneasily at me. â€Å"Would you mind†¦Ã¢â‚¬  I took the hint and tried not to let on how irritated I was by all the secrets. â€Å"Sure. I'll just†¦ I'll just go outside again.† I didn't like the idea of being exiled, but no way was I going to wander the halls of the old house. I'd face the heat. I hadn't gotten very far down the hall when someone stepped out in front of me. I let out a small scream and nearly jumped three feet in the air. A heartbeat later, I realized it was Lee – not that it reassured me much. No matter how ostensibly friendly I was with this group, old defenses inside me kicked up at being alone with a new vampire. Running into him didn't help matters either because my brain processed it as an attack! Lee just stood there, staring at me. From the expression on his face, he was just as startled to find me in his house – though perhaps not quite as alarmed about it as I was. â€Å"Sydney?† asked Lee. â€Å"What are you doing here?† Within moments, my fear became embarrassment, like I'd been caught prowling. â€Å"Oh†¦ I'm here with Jill. She had kind of a rough day and needed to talk to Adrian. I wanted to give them some privacy and was going to just†¦ uh, go outside.† Lee's confusion transformed into a smile. â€Å"You don't have to do that. No need for exile. Come on, I was going to get a snack in the kitchen.† My face must have shown abject horror because he laughed. â€Å"Not the human kind.† I blushed and followed along with him. â€Å"Sorry,† I said. â€Å"It's instinct.† â€Å"No problem. You Alchemists are kind of jumpy, you know.† â€Å"Yeah.† I laughed uncomfortably. â€Å"I know.† â€Å"I've always wanted to meet one of you, but you guys certainly aren't what I expected.† He opened the door to a spacious kitchen. The rest of the house might be antique and gloomy, but inside here, everything was bright and modern. â€Å"If it makes you feel any better, you're not as bad as Keith. He was here earlier today and was so nervous, he literally kept looking over his shoulder.† Lee paused thoughtfully. â€Å"I think it might have been because Adrian kept laughing like a mad scientist at those old black-and-white movies he was watching.† I came to an abrupt stop. â€Å"Keith was here – today? What for?† â€Å"You'd have to ask Dad. That's who he talked to the most.† Lee opened the refrigerator and produced a can of Coke. â€Å"Want one?† â€Å"I – uh, no. Too much sugar.† He grabbed another can. â€Å"Diet?† I hesitated only a moment before taking it. â€Å"Sure. Thanks.† I hadn't intended to eat or drink anything in this house, but the can seemed safe enough. It was sealed and looked like it had come straight from a human grocery store, not some vampiric cauldron. I opened it and took a sip as my mind spun. â€Å"You have no idea at all what it was about?† â€Å"Huh?† Lee had added an apple to his menu and hoisted himself up so he sat on the counter. â€Å"Oh, Keith? No. But if I had to guess, it was about me. Like he was trying to figure out if I'm staying here or not.† He took a giant bite into the apple, and I wondered if having fangs made that harder at all. â€Å"He just likes his facts straight,† I said neutrally. As much as I disliked Keith, I still wanted a unified human front. I wasn't entirely inaccurate, though. I was pretty sure Keith felt undermined at learning there was one extra Moroi in â€Å"his territory† and was now making sure he was in on everything. Part of it was good Alchemist business, sure, but most was probably Keith's wounded pride. Lee didn't seem to think much of it and kept chewing his apple, though I could feel his eyes studying me. â€Å"You said Jill had a bad day? Is everything okay?† â€Å"Yeah, I think so. I mean, I don't know. I'm not even sure how things got messed up. She wanted to see Adrian for some reason. Maybe he can help.† â€Å"He's Moroi,† said Lee pragmatically. â€Å"Maybe it's just something only he could understand – something you and Eddie couldn't. No offense.† â€Å"None taken,† I said. It was only natural that Jill and I would have distinct differences – I was a human, and she was a vampire, after all. We couldn't be more different if we tried, and in fact, I kind of preferred it that way. â€Å"You go to college†¦ in Los Angeles? A human school?† It wasn't that weird a behavior for Moroi. Sometimes they stuck together in their own communities; sometimes they tried to blend into large human cities. Lee nodded. â€Å"Yup. And it was hard for me at first too. I mean, even without others obviously knowing you're a vampire†¦ well, there's just a sense of otherness you're always aware of. I eventually adjusted†¦ but I know what she's going through.† â€Å"Poor Jill,† I said, suddenly realizing I'd come at this situation all wrong. Most of my energy had been fixed on the school believing Jill's illness was a hangover. I should've focused on why she was sick in the first place. Anxiety over this new life change had to be taking its toll. I'd battled my own uneasiness, trying to figure out friendships and social cues – but at least I was still dealing with my own race. â€Å"I didn't really think about what she's going through.† â€Å"Do you want me to talk to her?† asked Lee. He set the apple core aside. â€Å"Not that I'm sure I have that much wisdom to share.† â€Å"Anything might help,† I said honestly. A silence fell between us, and I began to feel uneasy. Lee seemed very friendly, but my old fears were too ingrained. Part of me felt like he didn't so much want to get to know me as study me. Alchemists were clearly a novelty to him. â€Å"Do you mind me asking†¦ the tattoo. It gives you special powers, right?† It was nearly a repeat of the conversation at school, except Lee actually knew the truth behind it. I absentmindedly touched my cheek. â€Å"Not powers, exactly. There's compulsion in it to keep us from talking about what we do. And I get a good immune system out of it. But the rest? I'm nothing special.† â€Å"Fascinating,† he murmured. I looked away uneasily and tried to casually brush my hair back into my face. Adrian stuck his head in just then. All his earlier humor was gone. â€Å"Ah, there you are. Can I talk to you in private for a sec?† The question was directed to me, and Lee jumped off the counter. â€Å"I'll take the cue. Is Jill still in the den?† Adrian nodded, and Lee glanced at me questioningly. â€Å"Do you want me to†¦ ?† I nodded. â€Å"That'd be great. Thank you.† Lee left, and Adrian glanced back at me curiously. â€Å"What was that about?† â€Å"Oh, we thought Lee might be able to help Jill with her problems,† I explained. â€Å"Since he can relate.† â€Å"Problems?† â€Å"Yeah, you know. Adjusting to living with humans.† â€Å"Oh,† said Adrian. He produced a pack of cigarettes and, to my complete astonishment, lit up right in front of me. â€Å"That. Yeah, I guess that's good. But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. I need you to get me out of this place.† I was startled. This wasn't about Jill? â€Å"Out of Palm Springs?† I asked. â€Å"No! Out of this place.† He gestured around him. â€Å"It's like living in a retirement home! Clarence is taking a nap right now, and he eats at five. It's so boring.† â€Å"You've only been here for two days.† â€Å"And that's more than enough. The only thing keeping me alive is that he keeps a hefty supply of liquor on hand. But at the rate I'm going, that'll be gone by the weekend. Jesus Christ, I'm climbing the walls.† His eyes fell on the cross at my neck. â€Å"Oh. Sorry. No offense to Jesus.† I was still too baffled by the unexpected topic to feel much offense. â€Å"What about Lee? He's here, right?† â€Å"Yes,† agreed Adrian. â€Å"Sometimes. But he's busy with†¦ hell, I don't know. School stuff. He's going back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and that'll be another boring night for me. Besides†¦Ã¢â‚¬  He looked around conspiratorially. â€Å"Lee's nice enough, but he's not†¦ well, he's not really into having fun. Not the way I am.† â€Å"That might be a good thing,† I pointed out. â€Å"No morality lectures, Sage. And hey, like I said, I like him okay, but he's not here enough. When he is, he keeps to himself. He's always checking himself out in the mirror, even more than I do. I heard him worrying about gray hair the other day.† I didn't care about Lee's eccentricities. â€Å"Where would you even want to go? You don't want†¦Ã¢â‚¬  A very unpleasant thought came to me. â€Å"You don't want to enroll at Amberwood, do you?† â€Å"What, and play 21 Jump Street with the rest of you? No, thank you.† â€Å"Twenty-one what?† â€Å"Never mind. Look.† He put out the cigarette – on the counter – which I thought was kind of ridiculous since he'd hardly smoked any of it. Why bother with such a filthy habit if you weren't going to use it all? â€Å"I need my own place, okay? You guys make things happen. Can't you get me some swank bachelor's pad like Keith has downtown so I can party with all the rich vacationers? Drinking alone is sad and pathetic. I need people. Even human people.† â€Å"No,† I said. â€Å"I'm not authorized to do that. You aren't†¦ well, you aren't really my responsibility. We're just taking care of Jill – and Eddie, since he's her bodyguard.† Adrian scowled. â€Å"What about a car? Can you do that?† I shook my head. â€Å"What about your car? What if I drop you guys back off at the school and then borrow it for a while?† â€Å"No,† I said swiftly. That was probably the craziest suggestion he could've made. Latte was my baby. I certainly wasn't about to lend it out to a heavy drinker – especially to one who also happened to be a vampire. If there was ever a vampire who seemed particularly irresponsible, it was Adrian Ivashkov. â€Å"You're killing me here, Sage!† â€Å"I'm not doing anything.† â€Å"Exactly my point.† â€Å"Look,† I said, growing irritated. â€Å"I told you. You're not my responsibility. Talk to Abe if you want things changed. Isn't he the reason you're here?† Adrian's annoyance and self-pity shifted to wariness. â€Å"What do you know about that?† Right. He didn't know I'd overheard their conversation. â€Å"I mean, he's the one who brought you guys here and made the arrangements with Clarence, right?† I hoped that would be convincing enough – and maybe yield me a little information on what Abe's master plan was. â€Å"Yes,† Adrian said, after several seconds of intense scrutiny. â€Å"But Abe wants me to stay in this tomb. If I got my own place, we'd have to keep it secret from him.† I scoffed. â€Å"Then I'm definitely not helping, even if I could. You couldn't pay me to cross Abe.† I could see Adrian bracing for another argument and decided to make my exit. Turning my back on him and any further protests, I headed out of the kitchen and back to the living room. There, I found Jill and Lee talking, and she wore the first genuine smile I'd seen in a while. She laughed at some comment he made and then looked up at my entrance. â€Å"Hey, Sydney,† she said. â€Å"Hey,† I said. â€Å"Are you about ready to go?† â€Å"Is it time?† she asked. Both she and Lee looked disappointed, but then she answered her own question. â€Å"I guess it is. You probably have homework, and Eddie's probably worried already.† Adrian entered the room behind me, looking pouty. Jill glanced at him, and for a moment, her gaze turned inward, like her mind had gone somewhere else. Then she turned back to me. â€Å"Yeah,† she said. â€Å"We should go. I hope we can talk later, Lee.† â€Å"Me too,† he said, standing up. â€Å"I'll be around here, off and on.† Jill hugged Adrian goodbye, clearly reluctant to be leaving him too. With Lee, she'd looked mostly like she was sad to leave something that had just gotten interesting. With Adrian, there was more of a sense like she wasn't sure how she was going to get by. Her next scheduled feeding was in two days, and Adrian was encouraging, telling her she was strong enough to get through the next school day. Despite how much he kept annoying me, I was moved by his compassion for the younger girl. Anyone who was that nice to Jill couldn't be that bad. He was starting to surprise me. â€Å"You look better,† I told her as we drove toward Vista Azul. â€Å"Talking to Adrian†¦ to both of them†¦ it was helpful.† â€Å"Do you think you'll be okay tomorrow?† â€Å"Yeah.† Jill sighed and leaned back against the seat. â€Å"It was just nerves. That, and I didn't eat much breakfast.† â€Å"Jill†¦Ã¢â‚¬  I bit my lip, hesitant to plunge forward. Confrontation wasn't my strong suit, particularly with awkward personal topics. â€Å"You and Adrian†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Jill gave me a wary look. â€Å"What about us?† â€Å"Is there anything†¦ I mean, are you guys†¦ ?† â€Å"No!† Out of the corner of her eye, I saw Jill turn bright pink. It was the most color I had ever seen in a vampire's face. â€Å"Why would you say that?† â€Å"Well. You were sick this morning. And then really adamant about seeing Adrian. You're always sad to leave him too†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Jill gaped. â€Å"Do you think I'm pregnant?† â€Å"Not exactly,† I said, realizing it was kind of a nonsensical answer. â€Å"I mean, maybe. I don't know. I'm just considering all the possibilities†¦Ã¢â‚¬  â€Å"Well, don't consider that one! There's nothing going on between us. Nothing. We're friends. He'd never be interested in me.† She said it with a dismal certainty – and maybe even a little wistfully. â€Å"That's not true,† I said, fumbling to undo the damage. â€Å"I mean, you're younger, yeah, but you're cute†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Yes, this was a terrible conversation. I was just babbling now. â€Å"Don't,† said Jill. â€Å"Don't tell me I'm nice and pretty and have a lot to offer. Or whatever. None of that matters. Not when he's still hung up on her.† â€Å"Her? Oh. Rose.† I'd nearly forgotten. The trip to Court had been the first time I'd seen Adrian in person, but I'd actually seen him once before on security camera footage when he'd been at a casino with Rose. The two of them had dated, though I wasn't entirely sure how serious the relationship had been. When I'd helped Rose and Dimitri escape, the chemistry between those two had been off the charts, even if they'd both been in denial of it. Even I'd been able to spot it a mile away, and I knew next to nothing about romance. Seeing as Rose and Dimitri were officially a couple now, I had to assume things with Adrian hadn't ended well. â€Å"Yeah. Rose.† Jill sighed and stared vacantly ahead. â€Å"She's all he sees when he closes his eyes. Flashing dark eyes and a body full of fire and energy. No matter how much he tries to forget her, no matter how much he drinks†¦ she's always there. He can't escape her.† Jill's voice dripped with astonishing bitterness. I might have written it off as jealousy, except that she talked as though she'd been personally been wronged by Rose too. â€Å"Jill? Are you okay?† â€Å"Huh? Oh.† Jill shook her head, like she was shaking off the cobwebs of a dream. â€Å"Yeah, fine. Sorry. It's been a weird day. I'm a little out of it. Didn't you say we could pick up some things?† A sign for the next exit advertised a shopping center. I rolled with the change in subject, glad to be away from personal matters, though I was still pretty confused. â€Å"Uh, yeah. We need sunscreen. And maybe we can get a little TV for the room.† â€Å"That'd be great,† said Jill. I left it at that and took the next exit. Neither of us spoke about Adrian for the rest of the night.

This research has been performed through the method of the literary review: books, papers and articles of famous Marketers and Psychologists are used as sources. A Basic Condition Advertising is undoubtedly a central part of promotion, but compared to the 4 Ps of marketing mix theorized by McCartney (1960), it represents only an aspect of the marketing effort made by the company (Pickton and Broderick, 2005). To reach and maximize the efficacy of advertising, firms should develop a deep know-how of their market, becoming what Llambin (2008) calls market-driven companies. This is achievable only by large investments in market research, in order to know as much as possible about consumers and competitors. As Cowles and Kiecker stated (1998), â€Å"market research is important not only to identify the most profitable target segments, but also to develop a message content that is appealing to them, and to identify the most effective and efficient marketing communications mix elements and media†.

Romeo Juliet is one of Shakespeares most famous tragedies Essay Example For Students

Romeo Juliet is one of Shakespeares most famous tragedies Essay Romeo Juliet is one of Shakespeares most famous tragedies. It is Juliet rather than Romeo who is the tragic hero of the play. Do you agree? Base your answer on close examination of the text. We are studying Romeo and Juliet. William Shakespeare wrote this play in 1954 to 1955. Set in peaceful Verona, the Montagues and Capulets are two rival families. Juliet is the only daughter of the Capulet household, and Romeo the only son of the Montagues. They fall in love with each other, causing tragic outcomes. The prologue, at the start of the play, informs the audience about three important things. First, the two families at the beginning of the play, then, the fate of the two lovers, lastly, the two families at the end of the play. The purpose of the prologue is to foreground the certain themes of the play, which are, in Romeo and Juliet: conflict, fate and tragedy. The prologue also is written to introduce the play to the audience and help the audience follow the main plot of the play. It give an overview of the play so, if you cannot understand it, it will help you to. At the start of the prologue, we are informed about where the scene is set. Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene. This helps establish that the pair of families, the Capulets and the Montagues, which are both as equally stood, in Verona, where the play is set. As the prologue progresses it continues to reaffirm the feuding families, this shows conflict. From ancient grudge break new mutiny This helps the reader understand there is a long-standing feud that has been going on between these two families that people have remembered; this is suggested by ancient grudge. Conversely, new mutiny suggests the families are going against the social order of Verona and are fighting. In the same country, this makes the families both seem disloyal to the key social values in Verona. The families reputations has been quashed because their fighting is harming so many people and in doing so are becoming outcasts of the city as they are not obeying the social order. The description of the fate of the two lovers is used to suggest that, in the prologue, it is not oblivious what future is fated for Romeo and Juliet. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossd lovers take their life. This clearly illustrates, as the two fathers are both enemies, Romeo and Juliet, their children, it quickly becomes evident that Romeo and Juliet are certain to die. Star-crossd lovers suggests to the audience that there is a magical fate, as if their death has been written in the stars, destined to happen. In the play Romeo and Juliet saw each other over a crowded room, this emphasises the romance shown in the play. At the end of the play, the families have buried their differences and their children; this is established in the prologue in one line. Doth with their death bury their parents strife? This is intended by the writer to convey to the audience that the death of the main characters, Romeo and Juliet, has in turn caused their families to stop fighting and start to get on. Tragedy of the play is shown in the prologue by implying that the two lovers have died. Two main quotes show this, the first, The fearful passage of their death markd love. This constitutes to a key theme of the text, tragedy, as tragedy is said to be a path, calling the way Romeo and Juliet die a fearful passage gives this ideal of the tragic path. This phrase also connotes what emotions Romeo and Juliet should be feeling just before they die. Death markd love highlights to the audience the importance of Romeo and Juliets love and how that, from the beginning is doomed to fail. The second main quote helps establish the tragedy in a higher grade of detail. Misadventurd piteous overthrows This can be interpreted as a wrong turn that will have pitiful consequences. The way the two families have argued so badly yet the love between Romeo and Juliet has come through this symbolises the fighting being overthrowed and this to be a piteous misadventure. Suggesting to the audience that there is something terrible going to happen because of Romeo and Juliets love and that result will be very tragic. The Greeks invented tragedy and it has been an established literary form for over 3000 years. During this time, there have been a number of different definitions as a genre. Two main views on tragedy are those of Aristotle and Karl Marx. Aristotle developed a theory, which described the characteristics of tragedies. According to Aristotle, a good tragedy should have one main male character, who is the hero. This hero should be a very important person such as a politician, a leader or a noble person. In a tragedy, the hero always comes to a bad end and the play is based on the journey he made to get there. Usually the hero has a fatal flaw to their character. This flaw means they do something very stupid during the play that changes their fate to the worse. The play always ends on the characters death. However, before he dies, he gets an insight into his own fate, and because of his behaviour, his death was inevitable. Marx believed that society is made of two sets of people. These are those who have everything (factory owners) and those who have nothing (factory workers). A Marxist view on tragedy is that a hero having a fatal flaw would be wrong, as it would give the character a break from any social standing. Instead, Marxists consider that groups that structure and influence every area of their lives, such as families, the education system, the church, or the government, etc, surround people. A tragic play reveals how society can change people for the worse bringing to life tragic outcomes. There is usually one central character from any background or gender, but there may be more. These two theories compare their shared belief that there should be one main character. In Romeo and Juliet, this could be either Juliet or Romeo as, in Juliets case; she killed herself with a dagger after Romeo had died. In Romeos case, he thought that Juliet was dead and drank a deadly poison to be with her. The two definitions also believe that their will be a tragic outcome at the end of the play. In Romeo and Juliet, this is the death of the two lovers at the end of the play. Contrasts between the two theories include Aristotles idea that the hero has a fatal flaw. In Romeo and Juliet, this is the anger that Romeo has when Tybalt kills his best friend, which results in him having to leave Verona and Juliet. The Marxist theory is that the groups of people surrounding the hero cause the fatal flaw. In Romeo and Juliet, this is the two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, which causes Romeo and Juliet to marry and keep their relationship a secret, as the society would not approve their marriage. Which Marx thought played an important role in a tragic play. They also disagreed on who should play the hero. Aristotle wanted a male hero who was very important in society such as a politician. Conversely, the Marxist theory suggests, the hero can be from any background or gender and the suffering of a peasant is as worthy as the suffering of a king. In Romeo and Juliet, this is either Romeo or Juliet could have been the tragic hero or heroin of the play, as t hey both died at the end of it also as they were not kings or peasants as such. Shakespeare Coursework EssayIn act three scene one, we meet Tybalt and Mercutio as they argue in a frank manner. It starts when Tybalt asks Mercutio if he has seen Romeo. Mercutio, thou consortest with Romeo. Mercutios response is a deliberate misunderstanding of Tybalts meaning, and due to this starts to fight Tybalt. Mercutios deliberate misunderstandings of speech seem to reflect the mistakes Romeo makes during the rest of the play, and therefore under shadows the underlying themes of conflict, fate and tragedy in the play. When Romeo enters the scene, he is married to Juliet, and his joy seems to rule over his actions, as he will not fight Tybalt. And so, god Capulet, which name I tender As dearly as my own, be satisfied. As Montagues and Capulets are sworn enemies, Tybalt and Mercutio, even though on different sides of the dispute, do not understand why Romeo will not fight, because of this Mercutio and Tybalt fight. When Romeo comes between them, Tybalt kills Mercutio under Romeos arm. Romeo feels to blame for this as he thinks he should have fought himself, but blames his emotions on Juliet. Thy beauty hath made me effeminate. Juliet has made Romeo weaker, because of this Mercutio is dead. Social pressure is high upon Romeo because he is now related to Tybalt, through Juliet, and he has just killed his best friend. The Marx theory is correct here. Romeo does not seem to cope under the pressure and so proceeds to kill Tybalt. After he has done so he realises that he is doing all of this because of fate. O, I am fortunes fool. According to both Marx and Aristotle, the hero will realise what they did before the end of the play. The tragic hero recognises his own faults and the situation he made for himself. At this point in the play, Romeo is the tragic hero. Lady Capulet enters the scene with the happy news of Juliets marriage. When she sees Juliet in sadness, she assumes it is because of Tybalts death and not because of the banishment of her secret husband, Romeo. To cheer her daughter Lady Capulet swears vengeance onto Romeo for killing Tybalt and tells Juliet that she will send a unaccustomed dram to Mantua to kill Romeo. Social pressure is high on Juliet at this point in the play, as Juliet is motivated by her mother to let Romeo die to please her family. After delivering this mews to Juliet, Lady Capulet tells her enthusiastically that she will soon be married to Paris as her father wishes, showing the importance of marriage and the social links of the Elizabethan times. Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride. Juliets reaction shows maturity, her love for Romeo, and duty to him. Her complicated situation means she says no to marriage, which shocks her mother. When Lord Capulet enters the scene, he asks Lady Capulet if she has told Juliet that she has to marry County Paris. He has no comprehension that his failure to consult Juliet may not be in her best interests. He feels that he has done his duty on Juliets behalf by providing her with a handsome and socially benevolent man. Have you delivered to her our decree? As Capulet has arranged such a good match for Juliet, he does not understand why she reacts as she does, and gets so angry and gives her an ultimatum. To go with Paris to Saint Peters Church, Or I will drag you thee on a hurdle thither. A hurdle is a device used to carry traitor when they were being dragged through the streets during a public execution. By saying that he will drag Juliet on a hurdle to the church, Capulet is therefore implying that he sees Juliet as a traitor to this arranged marriage but does not understand why. When Juliet hears this news, she breaks common Elizabethan traditions and opposes the marriage, saying she would rather die than marry Paris. Her answer showing how desperate a situation she is in. Or, if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies. Juliet is seen by her family as a girl who they can control. Juliet is actually very mature and controls her own life, shown by her threat to kill herself, which also foreshadows the forthcoming events that lead to the tragic outcome of death. Juliets independence is not yet recognised by her parents, who believe that she is still going to obey them. Therefore, the defence that she forwards is interpreted by her Father as awkward madness. The nurses summary of the events, and her view is clearly that Juliet should marry Paris if she is ever going to be able to keep the honour of her Family. I think it best you married with the County. Juliet now feels that all of her family and her companions have betrayed her and has an enormous amount of social pressure in this situation. She reacts calmly, showing maturity, and that she has risen to the occasion. Although Juliet is showing maturity and so on, she resembles more the character of a tragic hero, because she is young and is being hastily forced into marriage not of her own choice; she is withholding a huge secret from her family, about Romeo, and is under great social pressure all through this scene. Juliet is aware of her situation, that she seems controlled by all males in her life. Firstly, her father, and now Paris wishes to control her too. It may be so, for it is not mine own Paris feels that he owns Juliet, as if she is just property that he can do what he wants. Juliet wishes to break free form this cycle of misguided control so desperately that she feels that she is past any form of help, as if no one cares and as though there is no hope left for her. Past hope, past care, past help. Juliets situation seems so bitter and helpless to her that she cannot see any way out of her arranged marriage. Juliet is so emotionally intense that she is prepared to contemplate death. I long to die. Although she is only thirteen, fourteen Juliet is considering suicide and is only young yet wants to die. The audience feels shocked at Juliets rash and fateful decision that in Elizabethan times would have seemed disobedient yet they can se why she feels this way. Juliet is the tragic hero at this point in the play because she is considering death and feels that there is no other way out if this situation for her. Romeo is the tragic hero because he comes from one of a feuding family. Romeo killed Tybalt and has been banished. He loves the only woman who he should not and because of this, he dies a tragic death that is caused by his passionate and impetuous nature. The audience are encouraged to feel the characters emotions through his pleasure and pain approach to love. Juliet is the tragic hero because she comes from the other feuding family.

Marys Knowledge Acquisition

Table of Contents Background Knowledge Acquisition Physicalism versus Sensory Perception Conclusion Mary is unique because she grew up in a laboratory-like atmosphere. She was confined in a room that has no colors. It was all black-and-white for her. This includes not only the environment but also her education. She was educated using black-and-white materials only, no color was allowed to enter her dreary world.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on Mary’s Knowledge Acquisition specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The moment of truth came when she was finally allowed to leave her black-and-white room, and in the outside world she saw a plump ripe red tomato. It was her first time to see one but back in her black-and-white world she was taught that a ripe tomato is red. The question that confounds resesearchers is this: Did she learn new facts or is it merely the acquisition of a new ability to imagine? Backgrou nd A lady confined in a room all by herself is a strange thing unless she was imprisoned since birth. However, this study is not interested to know why Mary was forced to be in a situation that seems inhumane at first glance. It has to be made clear that aside from the extreme seclusion that she had to go through, Mary was never given a mirror and she was in a sterile environment that prevented her from injuring herself such as being bruised or cut. If this is part of a human experiment then the authorities had to be contacted to put an end to this madness. Another way to deal with it is to go along with the discussion. Pretend for instance that there is nothing wrong with this picture and the most important thing is that scientists and psychologists are given the opportunity to study how a human being the process of learning. The question raised earlier can only be answered with a clear understanding of physicalism and how a person learns or acquire knowledge. An assertion was made that if physicalism is true then Mary need not leave her prison cell or laboratory in order to know that a ripe tomato has a color and not just black-and-white. It seems to sugggest that physicalism is the phenomonon of knowng something based on the power of suggestion or teaching. Thus, if someone says that a delectable banana when ripe manifests a yellow color then automatically the mind can see the ripe banana in all its glory as a beautiful yellow fruit.Advertising Looking for essay on psychology? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More Knowledge Acquisition Based on the case study there is proof to discredit the claim of physicalists. They contended that everything that can be known about the physical world is achievable through teaching and this includes teaching students using abstact concepts. For instance the color red can be taught. But in the experience of Mary, she had no idea about the concept of â€Å"red† as a c olor. It was her first time to see a ripe tomato, it was her first time to know that the sky is blue etc. If physicalism is based on the idea that knowledge acquisition about the world and everything it contains can be achieved by simply understanding the three-dimensional attributes of an object then this theory is severely limited. The counter-argument to physicalism is easily rendered in the contention that not everythig can be learned by reading and listening to lectures. There are many things in this world that has to be experienced in order to be understood and appreciated in its totality. This simply means that knowledge acquisition is not only done in the abstract realms but also in the sensory level. There are things that has to be processed by the five sense in order to be imbibed and made part of the conscious mind. Physicalism as a theory has to be modified to include the other facets of the physical world. It is not just about shapes and sizes but also about color, text ure, and even movement. A car can be perfectly described by a gifted speaker and Mary could listen to a speech about cars and leave the room with the full conviction that she knows more about cars than the average person. Mary can walk out of that room with the confidence of a scholar convinced that everthing that can be studied about cars was already covered in the lecture. All of a sudden Mary is led outside the courtyard and right before her eyes is a gleaming red sports car with a galloping horse logo on the hood. She is invited to ride with a race car driver and as a passenger she was taught the use of a seatbelt and instructed to sit back and enjoy the ride. The engine was fired up and in a few seconds the car went from zero acceleration to 60 miles per hour. Mary was convinced that there is more about cars than what she read in a magazine. Physicalism versus Sensory Perception Based on the idea of physicalism it has to be assumed that color and other attributes that can be ob served in the physical world are excluded in the knowledge acquisition process. Thus, this is the main weakness of physicalism because it does not include the reality of sensory perception.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on Mary’s Knowledge Acquisition specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More It makes one wonder why color is not part of the physical feature of an object. If this was included in the theory of physicalism then Mary’s knowledge acquisiotion experience, while she was confined in the black-and-white room should have been judged as imperfect and incomplete. In other words the researchers should have immediately discovered the flaw in their methodology because it is not possible to teach someone about the truth concerning an object without allowing her senses to become a part of the learning process. The abstact terms that were thrown at her was inadequate for Mary to have a clear and complete gras p of what a ripe tomato means. Her teachers could have used all the teaching techniques available to man and indoctrinate her about the wonderful qualities of a tomato but if she was never given the chance to hold one in her hands, to touch it, smell it, and finally to taste it then her learning experience is incomplete. It should not be a surprise for researchers to realize that her idea of what comprises a ripe tomato is different or lacking in details when compared to other people’s knowledge level regarding the said fruit. A more complicated way to deal with this issue is to assess it using Leibniz’s Law. According to this law, two identical things posses the same qualities. Using this argument, sensations and the knowledge gleaned from using it is very much different from the knowledge acquired using mental cognition. It leads back to the argument that merely describing an object is an incomplete step towards total understanding and complete appreciation of the th ing described. It is therefore easy to make the conclusion that Mary learned something new. It was not a technique of imagining things. She could not imagine something that she is ignorant of. For instance, a student can be taught to imagine riding an airplane. Now, it is not important for a student to have had an experience riding airplanes. But at least he or she has a similar experience such as riding a bus. But more importantly this student should have an acceptable knowledge base about airplanes and how it functions. For example the child had seen a real airplane flying on air. He or she could have had an experience watching an airplane take off on TV and at the same time saw some footages of what it was like inside the cabin. The feeling and idea of riding an airplane can therefore be imagined without a prior experience. But a zero knowledge of related information makes it impossible for a student to imagine what it means to ride an airplane. More importantly the basic knowled ge required must include knowledge gained trhough the use of the senses.Advertising Looking for essay on psychology? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More The same thing can be said of Mary. No matter how hard the teachers tried to teach her about the concept of â€Å"red† as a color, that it is diferent from yellow, blue, orange, and green, then nothing will register. For Mary, color is an abstract concept that is like a variable wherein one can associate different values. She can imagine color but only as far as the scale of black and white because this is the limit of her knowledge when it comes to the physical world. In fact, her mind was conditioned to think that everything comes in black and white. Conclusion Mary learned something new. She was able to acquire new facts. Her undestanding of a tomato was limited and so when she came out of her black-and-white room, her knowledge about a red tomato was upgraded. Before there was no color but now she can distinguish that in the phsycial realm, living and non-living things are imbued with color. This is a dramatic proof that learning is not limited to imbibing facts about an object or a phenomenon but it also requires the learner to experience it using the sense of smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste.
