Merricat on multiple occasions’ talks about how she dreams to go to the moon with Constance. “On the moon we have everything. Lettuce, and pumpkin pie and Amanita phalloides. We have cat-furred plants and horses dancing with their wings. All the locks are solid and tight, and there are no ghosts.”

In the story of Cryano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand there are many complex characters Roxane being one of the many. Although some claim she is nothing but a love interest it is obvious her character is far more in depth and interesting than she is credited for being. She is a love interest in one sense but also a strong woman and an in depth character who evolves throughout the book. She is aware of what she wants, she is intelligent, and she even shares many traits with the beloved Cyrano.
Cyrano and Christian are contrasting characters, but their traits together make the perfect man. Cyrano is unable to confess his love to Roxanne because his nose makes him insecure about his looks. Believing Roxane will never love a stupid person, Christian comes to Cyrano for help when she expects a letter from him. Cyrano comes up with the plan that he will write the letters to Roxane, and Christian will give them to her as letters written from himself. Christian is able to be the face of the plan because of his handsome outer appearance, while Cyrano is the brains.
The first characteristic that makes Cyrano a tragic hero is that he has a tragic flaw, and this occurs because of his appearance. The first example of this is how he constantly pokes fun at his nose, which causes him to be vulnerable to others. The men, including Le Bret, Ragueneau, and Ligniere are all at the local bakery making fun of Cyrano: “a nose, gentlemen, that makes one feel like squealing” (Rostand 16). Because Cyrano constantly makes fun of his nose, he is giving permission for others to do it as well. By
The speakers feels it at all times, saying that he carriers her heart. No matter where he goes or what he does, his lover's presence is always near and has a big influence over his feelings and actions.

The speaker does not want anything outside the world that his lover symbolizes. She is his world; the speaker says that, no matter what that moon has always
Living life everyday in a monotonous mechanical fashion is considered a subpar style of life for many. In Small Frogs Killed on the Highway By James Wright, Wright conveys a message perfectly touching on the issue of taking chances. The speaker of the poem reflects on his past choices through describing frogs optimizing their opportunities by deciding to risk death and attempt to cross a road. Throughout the poem Wright uses objects riddled with either deeper meanings or dual meanings. Why are frogs latently compared to humans?
Cyrano despises most people in his society for being so obsequious. He wants only to state the bold, insulting truth; this kind of openness is a reflection of his boldness and courage. A final example of Cyrano’s courage is when Cyrano describes the way he wants to die to the cadets. His reply to them, “‘Always the answer, yes! Let me die so, under some

This comparison with a touch of imagery portrays the moon, known to represent the dark side of nature. Nature is known in this narrative to revolve around the autumn people and the summer people, the true evil vs the pure in this nature of the world. From this, the moon can be seen as a representation of its emptiness of pure darkness. This plays the role of a perfect depiction of the freaks empty, evil heart derived from the carnival, now to fill itself full with pure light relays the impact of the illustrations being set free from the vile Dr. Dark. To show their ability to see justifies their blindness in the darkness of the carnival, it proves their limited freedom compared to now and to be able to see freely delineates their freedom given back.
Symbolism and imagery is prevalent throughout A Midsummer Night's Dream. One ubiquitous and distinct symbol is that of the moon. The moon represents various ideas, some of which can be ambiguous and contradictory depending on the context. The consistent changes in the phases of the moon not only represents the passage of time, but also the fickleness and changeability a sublunary world can experience. In mythology, the moon is a feminine symbol and is personified by the goddesses Artemis, Diana, and Phoebe.
The moon is an object of darkness as it only appears during the night in darkness. The moon always carries “a small valise of darkness”. The moon’s valise is equivalent to the mother’s small handbag. A small handbag is used to carry essentials showing that the darkness is a part of her, so mother’s dark and negative aura is a part of her and therefore is shown wherever she travels. The darkness that mother brings infects the environment making the speaker sad.
“The moon of lovers.” “Okay, now I clearly heard it,” Marco thought and was truly weirded out by it as he jumped out of his seat. He looked suspicious at the sea captain’s portrait again. What does it even mean with ‘the moon of lovers’?
It is generally believed that “A Midsummer Night's Dream” was written between 1594 and 1596. One of the most solid assumptions - albeit not confirmed - is that the piece was written in honor of the marriage of Elizabeth Carey and Thomas Berkeley. In this perspective, we can consider “A Midsummer Night's Dream” as a poem designed on the occasion of wedding, to celebrate the groom youth union. If this had proved to be the case, the numerous references to the moon in the play would be as many tributes to Elizabeth I, possibly present at the wedding, which was often compared to Diana, lunar goddess. Then there was the original title: “A Midsummer Night's Dream”.
