Question

Please help

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. HERMIA: My good Lysander! I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow, By his best arrow with the golden head, By the simplicity of Venus' doves, By that which knitteth souls and prospers loves, And by that fire which burns the Carthage queen, When the false Troyan under sail was seen, By all the vows that ever men have broke, In number more than ever women spoke, In that same place thou hast appointed me, To-morrow truly I will meet with thee.
In at least 100 words, explain how the form of this excerpt from A Midsummer Night's Dream helps to convey Hermia's promises to Lysander.

Answer 1

The text helps to convey Hermia's promises to Lysander by comparing Hermia's promises to real and private things that really happen in the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text helps to convey Hermia's promises to Lysander, by comparing her promises to real and private things, which Lysander can observe as true, things that really happen in the real world. So Hermia is saying that just as these things exist and are true, he can believe that her promises will be kept without any flaws being noticed.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

That is quite a declaration.

She is saying to Lysander, in the strongest terms that she can that she will

meet him tomorrow. These terms are

by Cupid's (the god of infatuation and love) bow. He shoots at lovers with an arrow that brings about love.

by Cupid's best arrow (with the golden tip)

by the doves of Venus (which knits and kindle's love)

and by the fire that burns the Carthage queen when the Troyan sail was seen

by all the vows that men have made (spoken) in number greater than the vows made by woman

then tomorrow she will meet him.

Hermia is saying that she will show up to prove her words tomorrow -- without fail.
