1.
in yeats’ poem “the second coming,” the falcon and the falconer are images that most likely represent
• something out of control and unnatural.
• the beauty and abundance of nature.
• a sad, uncomfortable image of old age.
2.
based on yeats’ poems “sailing to byzantium” and “when you are old,” he most likely views old age and death as being
• mystical and exciting.
• restful and peaceful.
• sad and depressing

on my last

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
