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.]

Read this excerpt from "The Big Shot."
In her most recent test, she asked golfers who had just
finished playing to find on a chart a black circle that
was the same size as a cup on the green. She says.
"What we found was that the golfers who scored better
selected larger circles," adding that this suggests that
they perceive the hole as bigger." Golfers who didn't
score as well chose smaller circles.
Which type of image would best help readers
understand the study being described and its
conclusion?
a photograph of a golf course with a bar graph over
it showing the numbers of players who chose each
black circle and the average scores of each group
O a drawing of the study's black circles, each labeled
with the number of players who chose it, and the
average score of that group of players
O a photograph of a golf ball and the black circles on
the chart, each labeled with its size, next to' a dot plot
showing each player's score and chosen circle
O a drawing of a golf ball and a chart with different size
black circles, each labeled with the number of

Invisible Man

Would anyone please be able to write me an essay on Invisible Man before midnight tonight. It must be 5 paragraphs long with a minimum of 8 quotes from the book. Also in MLA format

You can pick from these 6 different topics. I need this essay or im gonna fail the class.


1. How does the division between the narrator’s changing perception of himself and how others perceive him relate to the themes of blindness and invisibility?


2. How does the narrator’s briefcase encapsulate his history, both culturally and over the course of the novel? Consider the contents of the briefcase at the end of the book. What might the briefcase tell us about the narrator’s identity as an individual and as a Black man?


3. In the book “Invisible Man”, how does racism influence the narrator’s search for identity? Consider the systems that influence the actions and intentions of both Black and White characters over the length of the novel (including the narrator, himself.)


4. In recalling his grandfather’s dying words, the narrator is forced to confront the idea that other people may be masking an ulterior motive or a hidden truth. Why is the narrator seemingly so unable to see others’ true motives, behind their masks, even after he has been fooled on many occasions? Analyze and describe the reasons for the narrator’s naivete.


5. Throughout the novel, the narrator encounters powerful institutions and individuals, all of which are bent on maintaining influence over events. Write a paper analyzing and comparing two of these individuals or institutions.


6. Compare “Great Gatsby” and “Invisible Man”. Consider what each says about hope vs. despair, disillusionment vs. delusion, and the nature of the American Dream and who is ‘allowed’ to achieve it.

The three principal parts of a verb are the present, past, and past participle.

True
False
