Shakespeare Concordance

The data I retrieved was found in Act II and Act IV. The context at which Shakespeare the particular theme of sport is when they are referring to the game of love.

The data I retrieved supports my first thoughts on Shakespeare's obsessive use of the particular image doesn't necessarily relate back to my initial thought about sport. When I hear the word, I thought of physical activity and competition; but reading more into it, Shakespeare uses figuration to support sport into a game of love and a competition between people to win the heart of another.

Quote 3

Viola: Then think you right. I am not what I am.
Olivia: I would you were as I would have you be. (III.i.148-9)

Olivia is professing her love for Cesario, but he isn't returning the favor because underneath the disguise, it is Viola. The line Viola says can be taken two ways; as she is not in love with Olivia or that she isn't really the man she thinks she is. This almost seems as a desperate plea made by Olivia because she so desperately wants Cesario to love her back. She wants the feelings she feels for him to be separated, but they are not. Cesario is just the mess anger of the man that truly loves Olivia, yet Olivia ends up falling for Cesario instead.

Quote 2

Malvolio: ...and yet to crush it a little, it would bow to me... (II.v.1434-145)

This quote takes place while Malvolio is reading the letter that was supposedly from Olivia. He is so blinded by his own ego that in this quote he is trying to convince himself that this letter was actually meant for him. Malvolio over analyzed this letter to fit his want, which is that Olivia is falling in love with him. By the end of reading this letter, Malvolio is truly convinced that Olivia is in love with him just as much as he is in love with her.

Quote 1

Viola: I Am the man. (II.ii.25)


This is when Viola confesses that she is a man and truly realizes the consequences of her disguise. Essentially, Viola is the man that Olivia wants because Olivia has fallen in love with the disguise that Viola has put on. The love that Viola has for Orsino is just as hopeless as the love Olivia has for her because they both think that she is actually a man.

"If you will not undo what you have done - that is, kill him whom you have recovered - deceive is not." (I.i.35)

Sebastian is expressing to Antonio that he doesn't need to be sorry for the bad service he has given, but more that he must own what is his as over and irreversible. Antonio is the person who saved Sebastian and he is basically saying that unless he is going to undo that he saved him in the shipwreck, he must kill him or leave. Antonio will not allow Sebastian to leave because he finds Sebastian's idea to be foolish and if not dangerous.

For me, writing the small object/large subject essay was a learning experience. Before writing this paper I hadn't truly considered what a product suchas Red Bull says about American society. I began to do research on Red Bull and the health risks that were presented with it, and I truly learned a lot. Granted I was up until a very early hour in the morning writing my paper, it had crossed my mind a couple of times to grab a Red Bull to keep me awake. The health facts that come with Red Bull genuinely made me scared and nervous considering how much I drank Red Bull prior to writing this paper. When asked the question "what does the widespread availabilty of this product say about American society," I truly had to dig deep and without bias answer the question. As I answered the question supported by numerous evidence, I began to realize that I am one of the statistics presented in the evidence and as much as I wanted to count myself out, I fall deep into what the product says about American society. Overall, I am quite pleased with the job I did on writing this paper and the amount of knowledge I learned.
