A couplet is mostly used by an author to provide entertainment and make the content of the speech more interesting. I believe it is inserted by Shakespeare to provide clarity to the audience as well as to provide a brief relief from some of the difficult terminology and symbolism that he uses in his plays.

Nehru's economic policies and the challenges of globalizationDayamani Surya
Nehru's economic policies failed because he could not build institutions and organizational structures to implement his vision or policies or to mobilize the people behind them; he created no social instruments and this led to a general weakness in execution of his policies and ideas, and was a major reason for the shortcomings in the implementation of the land reforms, the execution of the Community Development programme and the management of the public sector.
A critical flaw of Nehru’s strategy of consolidation of the Indian nation, economic development and social transformation flowed from his non-adherence to the Gandhian strategy of non-violent struggle in one crucial aspect and its emphasis on the mobilization of the people.
Swami Vivekananda is regarded as one of the patron saints of Modern India. The prime disciple of 19th century Indian mystic Ramakrishna Paramhansa, he reintroduced the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world.His message of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant and most practical especially in the current backdrop of widespread political disturbance around the world
The role of hubris that comes into play before the death of agamemnonDayamani Surya

Agamemnon was warned by Cassandra, who prophesied to tell the future that his wife would kill him, but he did not believe it.His wife, Clytemnestra welcomed him home with a bath to purify himself. When she wrapped him in a garment after his bath, he could not move his arm.Her lover, Aegisthus stabbed Agamemnon and Clytemnestra and Cassandra
Agamemnon’s son, Oresta eventually avenged the murder by telling both Clytemnestra and Aegisthus with the help of his sister, Electra.
It is interesting to note that while adhering to their Indian culture Christian marriages in India have included some of the western traditions.Indian Christian weddings in effect are totally different from what is being portrayed in films. It is assumed that the bride is mostly dressed in a gown which is not completely true. Most women prefer to wear a Banaras/designer saree/lehenga in off white/milky white colours. There are many christian brides who love to get beautiful mehendi designs done on their hands before the wedding. The sacred ritual of tying the mangalsutra takes a centre stage in an Indian Christian Wedding. In Indian Weddings, we come across a beautiful amalgamation of Indo western traditions. It is exciting to find a happy blend of two different cultures in Christian weddings of India.
Princess Esra Birgin and her tryst with HyderabadDayamani Surya
Turkey born Princess, Esra Birgin was married to Prince Mukkaram Jah. She is credited with restoration of Nizam's Palaces like Chowmohallah Palace and Falaknuma Palace.
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on 23rd April 1564. He was baptized on 26th April 1564. He died on the same date i.e, 23rd April in 1616. He was married to Anne Hathaway on 28th November 1582 with her he had three children , Susanna and two twins: Hamnet and Judith.
Future continuous tense is composed of helping verb "will be" + future participle.
It is used to denote action which will be taking place at some time in the future.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
Blank verse is poetry written in regular metrical but unrhymed lines, mostly in iambic pentameters.Shakespeare's standard poetic form was blank verse, composed in iambic pentameter.
A sudden feeling of knowledge that brings to light what was so far hidden and changes one’s life is called epiphany. It is a term used by James Joyce in his works : Portrait of the artist as a youngman, Dubliners.
The FUTURE PERFECT TENSE indicates that an action will have been finished at some point in the future. This tense is formed with "will" + "have" + the past participle of the verb which can be either regular or irregular in form i.e, I will have spent all my money by this time next year.
According to William Wordsworth poetry is the powerful overflow of spontaneous feelings. Wordsworth describes his main intention to write Lyrical Ballads is to choose incidents from real life and add a colour of imagination so that ordinary things may be represented in an unusual fashion.
The ancient mariner is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In this poem, he talks about an old sailor who happened to stop one of the three wedding guests to listen to his woeful tale. The wedding guest was bewitched by the mariner's glittering eye and he sat down to hear his narrative of his disastrous journey he undertook.
The Rape of the Lock was written by Pope to chide gently the Fermor family when Lord Petre cut off a lock of Arabella Fermor’s hair on a certain fateful day and such dire consequences followed. Pope started something that culminated into a piece of literature that has remained to this day a leading example of the mock epic satire.
The future tense describes a future event or a state of being. There are several events when we talk about the future:
-Predictions/statements of fact
-Intentions
- Arrangements
- Scheduled events
Past Perfect Continuous Tense used to describe actions that were in progress at a certain period of time in the past. It also gives you an idea about the duration of time.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

Shakespeare's rhyming couplet

3. RHYMING COUPLET
Shakespeare had experimented with rhyming couplet and poetic form as much
as he did with his blank verse through out his career.
We can notice that the use of rhyme varies according to character. For instance
, in The Two Gentlemen of Verona the womanizing Proteus speaks in rhyme,
the virtuous and rather dull Valentine in blank verse. In Richard II, Bolingbroke
only begins to use rhyme after becoming a king, using it time and again in his
final pacifying speech. And in Twelfth Night, Olivia speaks in prose until Viola
appears on the scene: the rhymes increase as she falls more desperately in
love.
Shakespeare uses rhyme where leaving and loving themes appear as the main
situations. Leaving rhymes don’t just give an exit to the end of a scene, as in
Hamlet’s
The time is out of joint, O cursed spite
That ever I was born to set it right!
Contd..
4. In Othello, Iago’s attempts to influence Othello against Desdemona are
in poetry, and rhymed couplets punctuate the progress of the argument.
He pretends to be hurt that Othello challenges his motive:
Thank you for this profit, and from hence
I’ll love no friend, since love breeds such offence.
And as the plot comes to fruition he uses a rhymed aside to the
audience to make them complicit.
Will you go on, I pray? This is the night
That either makes me, or fordoes me quite.
But rhyme is most associated with love. Rhymes, “verses of feigning
love” are just one of the “cunning” means which A Midsummer Night’s
Dream‘s Lysander has used to “filch” Hermia’s heart from her father.
5. Shakespeare revels in playing with poetry, Romeo and Juliet
probably believed to have contained the best examples of
using the rhymed couplet differently as per the character and
situation.
Lady Capulet’s couplets appear to be serious and when
speaking to Juliet about accepting Paris as a suitor her speech
is certainly formal for a mother talking to her daughter:
This precious book of love, this unbound lover,
To beautify him only lacks a cover
6. On first seeing Juliet, Romeo starts speaking in much
more compelling rhyming couplets:
Did my heart love till now? Foreswear it, sight.
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.
When they meet, their first speeches together
create a sonnet in which they share the final rhymed
couplet before they kiss.
Juliet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayer’s
sake.
Romeo: Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I
take.
The balcony scene is considered to be a perfect marriage of form and feeling, which is a
blank verse consisting of 200 lines that includes some of Shakespeare’s most memorable
rhyming couplets:
Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
14. RHYME
1. Couplets: A progress from more to less rhyme in the regular dialogue is a sure index to Shakespeare's
development as a dramatist and a master of expression. In the early Love's Labour's Lost are more than 500
rhyming five-stress iambic couplets; in the very late The Winter's Tale there is not one. Exclusive of the
'Mouse-trap' play, III, ii, there are in Hamlet 27 rhyming couplets, of which nearly a half are exit tags; most of
the others are those sententious generalizations which are so often in this kind of verse. An unusual number
of the exit tags have also the character of rhymed maxims. It is noteworthy that Polonius's precepts are in
blank verse.
2. Mouse-trap' Couplets:The 'Mouse-trap' play is introduced by three iambic four-stress lines rhyming
together, III, ii, 130-132; then come 78 lines of rhymed five-stress iambic couplets, most of them formally
closed, giving the peculiarly outdated and artificial effect which differentiates the play within the play from
the play itself. As in the case of the Masque couplets in The Tempest, this use of rhyme, contingent on special
reasons for its introduction, has no weight in determining the date of the play by application of the rhyme
test.
3. Song Snatches: Ophelia's first three song snatches — "How should I your true-love know," IV, v, 23-26, "He
is dead and gone, lady," IV, v, 29-32, "White his shroud as the mountain snow," IV, v, 34, 36-38 — are four-
stress trochaic (catalectic) alternating with irregular three-stress; "To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day," IV, v,
46-49, is irregular iambic four-stress and three-stress alternating; "They bore him bare-fac'd on the bier," IV,
v, 146-148, is iambic four-stress, with a conventional refrain; "And will he not come again," IV, v, 170-179, is
irregular three-stress iambic, with dactylic effects in the third and the fourth lines of the stanza. The quatrain
that Polonius reads from Hamlet's letter, II, ii, 11 6-1 19, is iambic three-stress; the norm of Hamlet's
snatches, III, ii, 248-251, 257-260, is the ballad stanza4 of four-stress iambic alternating with three-stress; so
is that of the stanzas sung by the Clown "at grave-making," V, i, 59-62, 69-72, 89-92.
15. Shakespeare is believed
to have used 5,170
unique words in his
plays as per the analysis
of study conducted by
the New-York based
Data Scientist, Matt
Daniels in 2015.
Shakespeare may have
had a better style when
it came to rhyming
couplets and more
traditional verse.
