*TWELFTH NIGHT BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE* Could someone please give me a quote from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and then explain how it could be hard for some people to understand. (plus the meaning). I need an example for my essay, THANKS

"If music be the food of love, play on,

Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken and so die.

That strain again, it had a dying fall.

O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound

That breathes upon a bank of violets,

Stealing and giving odour. Enough, no more,

’Tis not so sweet now as it was before.

[Music ceases]

O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou

That, notwithstanding thy capacity

Receiveth as the sea, naught enters there,

Of what validity and pitch so e’er,

But falls into abatement and low price

Even in a minute! So full of shapes is fancy

That it alone is high fantastical."

        (I.i.1–15)

This is kind of long, but you can take bits of it. This line said by Orsino asks the musicians to give him so much musical love-food that he will overdose (“surfeit”) and cease to desire love any longer. Through these words, Shakespeare introduces the image of love as something unwanted, something that comes upon people unexpectedly and that is not easily avoided. But this image is complicated by Orsino’s comment about the relationship between romance and imagination: “So full of shapes is fancy / That it alone is high fantastical,” he says, relating the idea of overpowering love (“fancy”) to that of imagination (that which is “fantastical”). Through this connection, the play raises the question of whether romantic love has more to do with the reality of the person who is loved or with the lover’s own imagination. For Orsino and Olivia, both of whom are willing to switch lovers at a moment’s notice, imagination often seems more powerful than reality.

"mirror" is a poem written by silvia plath in 1961, two years before she committed suicide, and it explores the life of a woman as an object reflected within it suggesting, therefore, a change in gender roles in america.

there has been fourth big waves regarding feminism and gender equality throughout the history of america. the first wave began in 1848 when the first women's rights convention was held at the wesleyan chapel in seneca falls, new york. the second wave began in the early 1960s when the poem "mirror" was written. in this second movement, feminists fought against sex discrimination and extended the rights of women. the third wave began during the early 1990s when feminists wanted to question, reclaim, and redefine the ideas, words, and media that have transmitted ideas about gender, gender roles, womanhood, and beauty, among other things. the fourth wave refers to a resurgence of interest in feminism that began around 2012 and it is associated with the use of social media. the focus of this fourth wave is to get justice for women and to express opposition to sexual harassment and violence against women.

idk if this will but hear helena loves demetrius (and at one point i think he liked her too) but he is in love with hermia who is happily in love with lysander, the rest of athens admire helena's beauty as equal or above hermia's, helena and hermia are friends

it's 2 in the morning and i would love to u but my current resources are limited (i can't flip between google and docs for an hour) a good resource is rhyme zone it finds synonyms, defines stuff, counts syllables, and looks for rhymes. i can u edit it and mess with syllables but i can't write an entire sonnet right now (it's thursday, well actually friday morning)
