My Love My Dove
My lady love, my dove.

Arthur is happily married to Pamela, a very wealthy woman. They are awaiting some weekend guests, the Snapes, and Pamela isn't looking forward to it. The only reason she invited them was that the Snapes are good bridge players and they play for a decent stake. Suddenly Pamela gets the idea that they should bug the Snapes's room. She wonders what they think about them. Bored with the idea of entertaining them, Pamela, a domineering woman, persuaded Arthur to conceal a loud speaker in the guest bedroom as a joke. Arthur gave in only to avoid an argument. Arthur doesn't like the idea, but Pamela bullies him and reminds him that they've done similar things together in the past. "I'm a nasty person," she says. "And so are you -- in a secret sort of way. That's why we get along together."

Although Arthur was against the idea, he did his job with incredible enthusiasm. He carefully put the wire for a long time, thinking about how to do everything quickly and at the same time in the best way. In the hero woked up passion. It was their common characteristic that united them. On the other hand, Pamela was more playful, you can tell, she came up with the idea and Arthur supported her.

Later the guests arrive and everyone has a pleasant dinner. Afterwards they play bridge, and the Snapes have all the luck. The wife, Sally, makes one mistake though that costs them several hundred points. At the end of the evening the couples part and Pamela excitedly tells Arthur to turn on the speaker. They are astonished to hear Mr. Snape reprimanding his wife for her earlier bridge error. She apologizes, but he tells her that they're just going to have to practice some more. Arthur realizes that they're talking about a betting code which allows them to cheat and know all of their partner's cards. They were cheating their host out of all the money they could. Arthur was horrified, but Pamela thought it was terrific. She decided they should

    McMillan uses Plato as a starting point for the understanding of a hero’s role in a story. The point of understanding Plato’s idea of a hero is to bring the structure of the basic ideology of a story’s hero, as The Wire does not quite make a hero clear and defined. In The Wire the hero’s are not the police or the corner boys. The hero’s are whoever make themselves such, instead. By Plato’s logic a hero takes an active moral high ground, though from Simon’s perspective a hero is not who takes the moral high ground at all times, but takes a few moments to a make…

    “A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart,” is a quote from Disney’s animated musical fantasy comedy-drama film Hercules. A hero is defined as an individual who is admired and idolized for their courage, achievements and noble acts. In the novel “ The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini and Shakespeare's play “ King Lear”, the main protagonists King Lear and Amir have varying qualities that make them the heroes they are described to be. Throughout both stories, readers implicitly and explicitly see how much both characters have grown and the sacrifices they had to make to get to the places they ended up; Amir a redeemed hero and King Lear a tragic hero. Those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the well-being of others is an essential trait that makes a good hero.…

    The relationship between Benedick and Beatrice can be interpreted as genuine regardless of the comedic nature of the play by the portrayal of them both being mirror images of each other when Benedick describes himself as having ‘cold blood’ and Beatrice refers to herself as having a ‘hard heart.’ The parallel structure demonstrated in this scene adds to the element of the genuine underlying feelings they have through the use of dramatic irony as the audience can identify connections and similarities between the two that they seem unaware of, this can be seen as a comedic element but their feelings are still rendered as genuine due to their matching personalities which suggests that they would be a jubilant match. As well as this, the continuous references to their objection of marriage, such as Benedick claiming that if he were to be married they may ‘pluck off a bulls horns and set them in his forehead’ and Beatrice saying she ‘could not endure a husband,’ can be seen by the audience as Beatrice and Benedick covering up the feelings for each other which lay beneath their ‘merry war’ of conflict. However it can be argued that the relationship between Beatrice and Benedick is superficial due to its comedic element of gender reversal in Beatrice as women at the time did not have this attitude and mainly remained seen and not heard, any sort of banter from a woman was unexpected and misunderstood as shown by the Messenger taking Beatrice’s sarcasm literally when she refers to Benedick as ‘Signor Mountanto.’…
