antonio: i must entreat of you some of that money.viola: what money, sir?
for the fair kindness you have show'd me here,
and, part, being prompted by your present trouble,
out of my lean and low ability
i'll lend you something: my having is not much;
i'll make division of my present with you:
hold, there's half my coffer.antonio: will you deny me now?
is't possible that my deserts to you
can lack persuasion? do not tempt my misery,
lest that it make me so unsound a man
as to upbraid you with those kindnesses
that i have done for you.viola: i know of none;
nor know i you by voice or any feature:
i hate ingratitude more in a man
than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness,
or any taint of vice whose strong corruption
inhabits our frail blood.antonio: o heavens themselves! second officer: come, sir, i pray you, go.antonio: let me speak a little. this youth that you see here
i snatch'd one half out of the jaws of death,
relieved him with such sanctity of love,
and to his image, which methought did promise
most venerable worth, did i devotion.

recall how we defined nouns as words capable of having plurals and possessive endings. adjectives (and their first cousin, the adverb) also have a feature that distinguishes them. they come in three states. first, the raw adjective—in its positive state—merely describes the noun modified; it doesn’t care about how this particular person or thing stacks up against other members of the same noun class

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
