35. In our home no one gets up before he does;
but in a little while, I think, that too will happen.
He will sort of gasp in a strangled way and the
snoring will cease.Then there will be a few
stealthy movements and the ill fitting door will
open and close and he will come walking
through my room carrying his shoes in his left
hand while at the same time trying to support
his trousers and also to button and buckle
them with his right. As long as I can remember
he has finished dressing while walking…

39. Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate
men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

45. Initial Situation
Vienna's Looking a lot like Sin City.
For the past fourteen years, the people
of Vienna have been running amok –
disobeying laws, fornicating, and
visiting the city's brothels. STDs and
illegitimate children are rampant.
Duke Vincentio thinks enough is
enough and puts a strict deputy in
charge of enforcing Vienna's laws
while the Duke is "away" on business.
Conflict
Claudio is busted for "fornicating."
With Angelo in charge, Claudio is
sentenced to death for "fornicating"
with his girlfriend and getting her
pregnant. He's headed for the
chopping block if someone doesn't
intervene on his behalf...
Complication
Isabella leaves the convent to save her
brother.Claudio's sis, Isabella, is about
to become a nun, but when she hears
her brother is in the slammer, she
pleads with Angelo to have mercy.
Climax
Angelo propositions Isabella.
Angelo gets all hot and bothered by
Isabella's virtue and says he'll set
Claudio free if Isabella sleeps with
him. Isabella immediately refuses
(saying she'd rather die) and Angelo
gives her a day to think about it.

46. Writing about texts
Rosemary is similarly trapped by societal customs. Post-war America
designates her one position in life: the role of a housewife and mother.This
convention cages her, despite her attempts to escape it. The memoir
emphasises the perpetual cycle of abuse that Rosemary and her son are
subjected to. The opening line of the text, ‘Our car boiled over again.’,
demonstrates the repetitive and fruitless nature of Rosemary’s attempts to
transform her life.The inability of the 1950’s women to escape from abuse is a
prevalent element of the text. It reveals the way in which such situations
were treated as normal and largely ignored.The ‘strangeness’ of the cycle of
abuse and oppression ‘over the years became normal’ to both Tobias and his
mother. Eventually, despite her efforts to ‘run from [men she] was afraid of,
Rosemary is unable to escape the pervasive violence in her life. Both she and
Tobias adopt the same view of the abuse as the rest of the society does.They
opt to ignore it and turn a blind eye ‘languidly [convincing themselves] that
the strange noises came from cats.’ Thus, societal expectations prevent
Rosemary and Tobias from acheiving their ‘dreams of transformation.’
