In Act V, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet, what does Montague reveal to those gathered when he first arrives on the scene?

When Montague first arrives in Act V, Scene 3, he laments,



Alas, my liege, my wife is dead to-night;


Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath:


What further woe conspires against mine age?  



Not only has Montague had to endure what no father should—outliving Romeo, his only child—but now in this tragic time he must also bury his wife. She has died of a broken heart over Romeo's death. If that much...

When Montague first arrives in Act V, Scene 3, he laments,



Alas, my liege, my wife is dead to-night;


Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath:


What further woe conspires against mine age?  



Not only has Montague had to endure what no father should—outliving Romeo, his only child—but now in this tragic time he must also bury his wife. She has died of a broken heart over Romeo's death. If that much grief has killed her, imagine what incredible pain Montague must be experiencing.  


On top of the pain of losing his whole family, Montague surely must feel a great deal of guilt. After all, his stubborn hatred and feud with Lord Capulet indirectly led to the two lovers’ deaths, as the Prince suggests when he says,



Capulet! Montague!


See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,


That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.



If Montague is partly responsible for Romeo’s death, that means he is partly to blame for the death of Lady Montague, too. There are layers upon layers of tragedy in this ever-famous love story.

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...

How did the United States become an imperial power?

"Imperial power" is a bit of a vague label. It tends to mean several things at once, so let's unpack it. In the sense of "this country was built on conquest by force," the "imperial power" part of America actually predates the United States proper. The territories that would become the United States were imperial colonies, established by the great European empires of the 17th and 18th centuries. Much of the US Constitution and American governance generally goes back to England, history's largest and most successful imperial power, but vital aspects of American culture come from other imperial powers, such as France and Spain. Much of American culture comes from sources other than the old empires, but they were key influences on what the United States became. In the sense of "this country treats conquest by force as a fundamental component of its culture, economy and politics," the United States has always been an imperial power. Even earl...

Gatz became Gatsby through determination and discipline. At the end of the novel, the narr...
