The Nobles are have different traits that set them apart from most of the characters in the play. For instance, the Nobles display their wise thinking, eagerness towards getting things done, and how they are critical thinkers. Thesus shows his wise characteristic when he replies to Demetrius. Thesus says to him that they (Hermia and Demetrius) should not wed if they do not like each other which is not a good sign to Hermia's father Egeus. "Fair lovers, you are fortunately met. Of this discourse we more will hear annon. Egeus, I will overbear your will, For in the temple by and by, with us, These couples shall eternally knit." Then Thesus also shows that he is quite eager to marry Hippolyta, "O, methinks how slow This old moon wanes! She lingers my desires Like to a stepdame or a dowager." The Nobles are also very critical thinkers. This is showed when Thesus also states that, " The kinder we, to given them thanks for nothing. Our sport shall be to take what they mistake; And what poor duty cannot do." They all speak in Iambicpentameter and have the following motivations: Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius. Thesus wants to get married to Hippolyta right now, so he may fornicate with her. Hippolyta wants to have a glorious wedding and doesn't want to have sexual intercourse before they are married.
I think you did a good job of incorporating more than one character in this paragraph. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAgreeing with Mason to analyze one of the characters you sometimes have to look at there significant other!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the nobles display wiseness when they looked at the interests of the lovers rather then what Egeus wants.
ReplyDeleteInteresting point. I never quite thought to look at the nobles quite like that. I mean, I know that they were important to the story line, but I didn't ever really look at their importance like that. Nice perspective
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, your example for critical thinking displays more of a mischievous or comedic characteristic.
