The Fan

A comedy in three acts

Scene IV.

by Carlo Goldoni



[Evarist and Susanna come out of the shop.]

[(Candida) watches (Evarist) from the back of the terrace.]

Susanna. Do not complain, sir, the fan is cheap.

Evarist. I am sorry that the fan is not more beautiful.

Susanna. That was the last of those of the first quality. Now my shop is emptied. [Smiling.] I suppose it is a present?

Evarist. Certainly. I do not buy fans for myself.

Susanna. For Signorina Candida, because hers broke?

Evarist. [Impatiently.] No; for some one else.

Susanna. All right, all right. I am not curious.

Candida. He has great secrets with the draper. I am curious to hear some details. [Approaches to the front.]

Evarist. [Approaching Nina.] Nina!

Nina. Your wishes, sir?

Evarist. A favour. I know Signorina Candida loves you.

Nina. Yes, she has pity on the poor orphan. But alas! I am subjected to my brother, who embitters my life.

Evarist. Listen to me.

Nina. [Spinning on.] Spinning does not make me deaf.

Evarist. [To himself.] Her brother is full of whims, but neither does she seem free of them.

Candida. Business with the shopwoman; business with Nina. I do not understand. [Comes forward yet more.]

Evarist. May I ask you a favour?

Nina. Have I not already answered you? Have I not told you to command? I am not deaf. If my spindle disturbs you, I will throw it aside. [Does so.]

Evarist. But how impetuous!

Candida. What does her anger signify?

Nina. I am at your orders.

Evarist. You know that Signorina Candida broke her fan?

Nina. Why, certainly.

Evarist. I have bought a new one at the shop.

Nina. As you please.

Evarist. But Signora Geltrude must not know.

Nina. There you do wisely.

Evarist. And I wish that you should give her the fan secretly.

Nina. I cannot serve you.

Evarist. How unkind of you!

Candida. [To herself.] He told me he was going shooting, and he is still here.

Evarist. Why will you not do me this favour?

Nina. Because I want to know nothing about this matter.

Evarist. You take the matter too seriously. Candida loves you so much.

Nina. True, but in such matters—

Evarist. You told me you wanted to marry Crispino.

Candida. They are discussing important secrets.

Nina. If you want nothing else of me, I will go on spinning. [Does so.]

Evarist. But listen, do! Candida has begged me to give you a dowry that you may wed your Crispino.

Nina. [Suddenly grows friendly.] Really?

Evarist. Yes; and I gave her my word that I would do all—

Nina. Where is the fan?

Evarist. Here.

Nina. Quick, quick, give it to me, but so that no one sees.

[Evarist gives her the fan.]

I need one page on Zeus in times new roman 12

Answers

Answer:

Zeus[a] is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who rules as king of the gods of Mount Olympus. His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman equivalent Jupiter. His mythology and powers are similar, though not identical, to those of Indo-European deities such as Jupiter, Perkūnas, Perun, Indra, Dyaus and Thor.[4][10][11][12]

Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, the youngest of his siblings to be born, though sometimes reckoned the eldest as the others required disgorging from Cronus's stomach. In most traditions, he is married to Hera, by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus.[13] At the oracle of Dodona, his consort was said to be Dione, by whom the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite.[16] Zeus was also infamous for his erotic escapades. These resulted in many divine and heroic offspring, including Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Minos, and the Muses.[13]

He was respected as an allfather who was chief of the gods[17] and assigned roles to the others:[18] "Even the gods who are not his natural children address him as Father, and all the gods rise in his presence."[19][20] He was equated with many foreign weather gods, permitting Pausanias to observe "That Zeus is king in heaven is a saying common to all men".[21] Zeus' symbols are the thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and oak. In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical "cloud-gatherer" (Greek: Νεφεληγερέτα, Nephelēgereta)[22] also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the ancient Near East, such as the scepter. Zeus is frequently depicted by Greek artists in one of two poses: standing, striding forward with a thunderbolt leveled in his raised right hand, or seated in majesty.

What is the short story "Laura" by Saki considered high comedy?

Answers

Answer:

In Laura by Saki we have the theme of freedom, reincarnation, conformity, acceptance, revenge, mortality and connection.

Explanation:

In Laura by Saki we have the theme of freedom, reincarnation, conformity, acceptance, revenge, mortality and connection. Taken from his The Complete Short Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Saki may be exploring the theme of freedom. Laura is a naturally free spirit something that is noticeable by the fact that she likes to make her own rules about how she should live her life. However one noticeable constant in Laura’s life is the fact that she likes to seek revenge on those who have injured her personally. Something that is noticeable when it comes to Egbert. She will not allow him to get the better of her. Which may be important as there is a sense that Laura is challenging the status quo that may have existed at the time the story was written between men and women. To Laura her actions are games to irritate Egbert but to Egbert they are a little more personal and malicious. Though it is very much left to the reader to decide upon which character they support. Many might side with Egbert and as such may be supporting conformity while others who side with Laura may forgive her for her actions and realise that she is indeed a free spirit. The end of the story is also interesting as Amanda is in total shock (seriously ill) and considering that she believes that the Nubian boy is the second reincarnation of Laura. It is as though everything Laura has said to Amanda has come true. At least in Amanda’s eyes and Laura remains true to character and seeks to annoy Egbert. Something which may leave many readers to suggest that there is indeed a life after one dies. That reincarnation is a possibility. Though some critics may dispute this. However what has occurred is very real to Amanda. Any beliefs she may have had to the contrary when it came to the matter of reincarnation are sure to have been replaced with a strong belief that one can relive their life in a different form. Be it as an animal or as the opposite sex. Which may be the point that Saki is attempting to make. He may be suggesting that an individual should never give up on life and any form it may take. Just as Laura has not given up on bringing havoc into Egbert’s life.
