"Watch out for the arrival of Clifford, Fennella's gormless son. He's a giant and is revealed as one single extra-large boot and leg, much like a Monty Python foot."\n\nI used to love that program.

Let me see if I can break it down. I studied Shakespeare but I am not real familar with this sonnet.\n\nIn the old age black was not counted fair,\nOr if it were, it bore not beauty's name;\n(the color black was not considered something of beauty)\n\nBut now is black beauty's successive heir,\nAnd beauty slandered with a bastard shame:\n(not sure, successive heir would be like a son or daughter,\n beauty slandered - talked or gossiped about\n bastard shame - embarrassing)\n\nFor since each hand hath put on Nature's power, \nFairing the foul with Art's false borrowed face,\n(Each hand is showing its age\n The face will soon follow)\n\nSweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,\nBut is profaned, if not lives in disgrace.\n(Beauty has no real power, it alters, changes,\n Not sure of second line)\n\nTherefore my mistress' eyes are raven black,\nHer eyes so suited, and they mourners seem\n(My lover's eyes are black\n They seem suited for crying or sadness)\n\nAt such who, not born fair, no beauty lack,\nSland'ring creation with a false esteem:\n(Not born beautiful or lacking in beauty\n Taunting nature with an inner beauty)\n\nYet so they mourn becoming of their woe,\nThat every tongue says beauty should look so.\n(The beautiful people cry\n because the inner beauty is the more beautiful)\n\nOkay thats my interpetation of it.  Not saying I'm right with all of it, but I hope I helped you to understand it better.

Dear girl, first of all you need to be specific - is it Shakeapeare you are talking about?\n\nSecondly, it's Mark Antony in Shakespeare (not Antonio).\n\nBrutus gives a logical, unemotional speech winning the crowd over to the suggestion of making Brutus the new Caesar. Antony halts the crowd's support for the conspirators with a masterful speech that plays on the crowd's emotions.\n\nBrutus' speech was full of authoritative words while Antony appealed to the mob's emotions. While Brutus tried to show Caesar in anegative light, Antony tried to show Brutus is a very postive light. The use of rhetoric is also potrayed beautifully.

Jealousy is referred to as the "green-eyed monster" in a Shakespearean play.  I'm not sure which play it is right now, although I want to say it's Othello.  It might be a reference to Shakespeare.

OMG my class read this play recently... crap lol. i totally forgot, and my teacher took up everyones notes to grade. they would have really helped. This play was a real pain in the rear.  Although i do remember that Brutus was well respected in the Roman community, but he does wrong things, but for the right reason, of course (like the death of caesar). he thought that caesar was a threat to rome.

The play is "Oedipus Rex". It is the source for the condition of the same name, the Oedipus Complex. It focuses on jealousy of a father, (the king by his son in the play) and his romantic (sexual) love for his mother.

If you are speaking of the song from the musical "Wicked!," entitled "What is this Feeling!," then it is refering to the fact that the Glinda and Elphaba loathe(which means hate) each other.  Unadulterated means pure, so the two girls have a pure hate for each other. This means that it wasn't influence by their parents, peers, or surroundings. The hate developed after the girls met. There is no other emotions with it; just complete and utter hatred. If you aren't speaking of "Wicked!," this should still help you!\n\nI'll be checking back to see if you need more help!

First Produced  1986 Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, Waterford, CT, USA >>>  \nPublished  1989 Dramatist Play Service, NY  \nGenre  Comic Folktale  \nParts \nMale \n 2  \nFemale  3  \nOther  \n\nSynopsis: \n\nHuey Maximilian Bonfigliano has a problem: While he is safely divorced from his shrewish first wife, Janice, who shot his dog and even took a bead on him, he feels he cannot regain his "manhood" until he woos and wins her one more timeif only to put his broken marriage behind him once and for all. He enlists the aid of his lifelong buddy, Aldo Scalicki, a confirmed bachelor who tries, without apparent success, to convince Huey that he would be better off sticking with his new lady friend, Teresa, a usually placid young waitress whose indignation flares when she learns what Huey is up to. In a moonlit balcony scene (hilariously reminiscent of Cyrano de Bergerac) Aldo pleads his lovesick friend's case and, to his astonishment, Janice capitulatesalthough not for long. However we do learn that her earlier abuse of Huey was intended to make him "act like a man" which, at last, he does. And, more than that, he (and the audience) become aware that, in the final essence, "the greatestand onlysuccess is to be able to love"a truth which emerges delightfully from the heartwarming, wonderfully antic and always imaginatively conceived action of the play.

I believe it's originally from the movie "A Cry In the Dark" with Meryl Streep, when the dingos in Australia attacked the baby.  This was a very tearful movie.  But I must say, that in the Seinfield episode when "Elaine" said "The dingos ate your baby" to the obnoxious woman, with her Aussy accent...it was hilarious!

Contemptuous is what you feel for someone else when you feel they are acting contemptible.  Or what they feel for you if YOU are acting contemptible
