What kind of poem is "To Marguerite—Continued"?

Matthew Arnold's "To Marguerite--Continued" is a romantic
poem (both literally and figuratively), filled with passionate despair regarding the
sea's isolation, a metaphor for his possible relationship with the woman to whom it is
dedicated.

The poem title looks like a letter, or a
post-script of a former, longer letter.  Indeed, another poem "Isolation: To Marguerite"
precedes it:

[Arnold] travelled to Switzerland in the course
of his duties. There, in 1848-49, he met the "Marguerite" who inspired "Isolation: To
Marguerite" and "To Marguerite--Continued." No one knows Marguerite's real identity,
although there is of course a great deal of speculation; some critics even insist that
Marguerite is an imaginary
figure.

Later, in 1851,
Arnold married someone else, so he did lose Marguerite, if she ever
existed.

The poem is heavy in personification, imagery, and
metaphor, as it likens humans to the seas:

Oh!
then a longing like despair

Is to their
farthest caverns sent;

For surely once,
they feel, we were

Parts of a single
continent!

Arnold says that modern man is like the
current watery world, isolated and disconnected.

What was Hamlet's last name?

If you want to get really technical, the Danish Royal
Family surname is Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. But back in Hamlet's day,
the time of medieval Kings, there was no house name or
surname.

(As you may know, the surname of British Royalty
used to be Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but, because of World War I, it was changed to Windsor in
a rejection of German associations in 1917.)

So, Hamlet's
father was King Hamlet, and his son, also named Hamlet, was Prince Hamlet or Hamlet,
Prince of Denmark.

The same probably goes for everyone in
the play: Claudius is just Claudius, Gertrude, Gertrude, etc. At best, just to
differentiate individuals with the same name, people may have been named something like
this: if your name was John and you were the son of Eric, you would be John
Ericson.

Hmmm, Hamlet Hamletson? Doesn't sound right
somehow. Let's leave it as Hamlet.

What is the future of the national economy?Are we still in recession and when can we regain the 8 million lost jobs since 2008?

HI!

The problem with our
answers *which will vary* is that yours is a hypothetical question based on trends.
However, this is a trend that is highly debatable:

1.
Liberals say that the huge amount we just spent on the healing package is going to save
families from going bankrupt.

2. Conservatives will say
that it was a waste of money because no new jobs have been created, yet, Liberals will
argue that the unemployment rate has lowered. And, still, Conservatives will
counterargue saying that the numbers are based on different
variables.

3. The Health Care package is no joke-it
requires a LOT of money for millions of uninsured people, many of whom lead quite
unhealthy lifestyles. Any person against the plan will say that this was a massively
unfair kill of money.  Others will say that it is fair that everybody gets coverage.
Now, let's take a sample of population suffering high blood pressure in Mississippi- one
of the US's most obese populations per capita: Would their medications, exercise plans,
surgeries, and check ups hurt anyone's paychecks?- YES. They will *it is not me saying
it. It is the fact that, well, they will*

So: The future of
our national economy is quite uncertain as of today. There have been conversations with
the Chinese government to buy off our debt, but I think that it is dangerous to swim on
that lake being that North Korea is closer to the Chinese than we are. Our intelligence
could be endangered if shared and I think I'd rather have the strangers right in my
backyard and not in the backyard of the neighbor I don't quite
know.

How does Dimmesdale appear as he leaves the church after his triumphant sermon?Chapter 22 or 23

As he leaves the church after his triumphant sermon, the crowd is shocked to note that Dimmesdale looks "feeble and pale...energy...withdrawn...the glow...burning on his cheek...extinguished...it seem(s) hardly the face of a man alive, with such a deathlike hue".  The minister can barely walk as he "totters" from the church, turns toward the scaffold, and beckons to Hester (Chapter 23).

Explain how Shakespeare has struck a balance of romance and comedy in As You Like It.

In As You Like It Shakespeare
balances romance and comedy by wrapping the romance in the comedy through comedic antics
that flow naturally from the character's temperament and personality traits and through
situational irony. For instance, Orlando, distractedly in love with Rosalind, goes (or
as he says, runs) around Arden forest attaching badly written poetry to trees and
carving "Rosalind" in the bark of trees. This is pretty funny, and it flows naturally
from the traits we learn about him earlier: he is exuberant; daring; full of energy; and
poorly educated (which explains the bad poetry).

Another
instance is that Rosalind, who is at first all distraught to think that Orlando might
catch her in her man's clothing, takes advantage of the confessions of love Orlando
makes while she and Celia are eavesdropping and plays a protracted and very silly joke
on Orlando. This flows from what we already know of her traits: she is romantic and can
be silly; she is courageous and assertive; she is playful and enjoys word
play.

The situational irony in which she, of course, knows
her identity while Orlando doesn't, adds to the amusement of Rosalind/Ganymede's teasing
joke played on Orlando while also moving the romance forward. In the joke as she
contrived it, Orlando pretends to be courting Rosalind while he is talking to Ganymede,
so the audience learns his romantic sentiments.

In Act I of Romeo and Juliet, why does Lord Capulet throw a party/feast?

The play itself doesn't have Lord Capulet giving any
reason except that he tells Paris "tonight I hold an old accustomed feast." It seems
like a party just for party's sake.

The event does serve
several purposes though. Capulet further explains to Paris who is wanting to marry
Juliet that this would give Paris an opportunity to woo her or flirt with her as well as
compare her to Verona's other beauties making sure that he indeed likes Juliet above
others.

During the party, it also serves the purpose of
letting Romeo and Juliet meet and building Tybalt's rage over Romeo's presence. These
are very specific inciting incidents that much action later on in the story hinges
on.

What is the dramatic effect of Act 1 in Much Ado About Nothing?

I wonder if you are referring to dramatic elements that are employed by Shakespeare in Act I.  If so, consider these choices of the playwright:

Rather than including the war or any of the battle scenes in the play, Shakespeare uses a messengar to deliver news of the outcome.  Beatrice jokes with the messenger, who announces that the friends of the group have been victorious and are safe.  Shakespeare wants readers to know that the visitors are coming from battle, but doesn't want any of the seriousness of war to affect the mood of the play.

In Act II, Shakespeare has Antonio tells Leonato that his servant has overheard Don Pedro tell Claudio that he loved hero.  Obviously this is wrong, and the servant has given bad information.  But the dramatic technique here is that we do not see the servant telling Antonia this.  We see Antonio tell Leonato this.  This removal from the source of the information is important, because it introduces one of Shakespeare's themes:  "noting".  Noting is the overhearing and passing on of information.  It causes many many problems for the characters. and so Shakespeare uses it as a device to underscore its importance.

Look to stage directions and consider how characters present information to see more examples of "dramatic technique".
