The poem below describes an artist who idealizes his subjects — meaning he paints them as he would like to remember them, not as how they are in real life. The poem is a Petrarchan sonnet, which would normally follow the rhyme scheme noted at the left. How does the poem's break in this rhyme scheme in its final line help provide greater meaning in the poem? a One face looks out from all his canvases, b One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans: b We found her hidden just behind those screens, a That mirror gave back all her loveliness. a A queen in opal or in ruby dress, b A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens, b A saint, an angel; —every canvass means a The same one meaning, neither more nor less. c He feeds upon her face by day and night, d And she with true kind eyes looks back on him, c Fair as the moon and joyful as the light: d Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim; c Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright; d Not as she is, but as she fills his dream. —Christina Georgina Rossetti, "In an Artist's Studio"

Read the excerpt from chapter 30 of the awakening. the golden shimmer of edna's satin gown spread in rich folds on either side of her. there was a soft fall of lace encircling her shoulders. it was the color of her skin, without the glow, the myriad living tints that one may sometimes discover in vibrant flesh. there was something in her attitude, in her whole appearance when she leaned her head against the high-backed chair and spread her arms, which suggested the regal woman, the one who rules, who looks on, who stands alone. what does this excerpt reveal about edna's character? edna is comfortable wearing rich fabrics such as lace and silk, and feels completely at ease at the dinner table. edna plays the role of the gracious hostess very well, but is actually isolated from her peers. edna has no patience for her guests, but rather treats them as a queen may treat her loyal subjects. edna's attitude is haughty, as required of a woman of her social stature living in new orleans.
