A.J. Croninâ??s story of two young brothers sacrificing to care for their stricken older sister contrasts with the gentlemen in Shakespeareâ??s â?? Two Gentlemen of Veronaâ?? but helps define what a true gentleman is. Shakespeareâ??s friends use lies and deceit despite their status as gentlemen, whereas Croninâ??s have a nobility that belies their circumstances.
The term is one word "gentlemen" when used to mean an assembled group of men (e.g. ladies and gentlemen), or male individuals in general. The two words "gentle men" has an entirely different meaning.
The war had destroyed everything the boys had. They lost their home and their father was killed in the war as well. Until the war they led a cultured and comfortable life. The war had led them to the streets, exposed them to bitter cold and driven them to extreme starvation. However, it did not fill them with despair. They set to build what was left after the war. They found their sister suffering from tuberculosis of the spine, got her admitted to a hospital and worked very hard to pay for her treatment. The boys' sacrifice, their devotion and the maturity they displayed at such a young age promises a new hope for the society. The destruction caused by the war had not broken their spirit. Rather it filled them with a new energy to rebuild from what was left after the war. In this world where values have eroded, these boys and their work make a promise. Their selfless action, devotion to duty, hard work without grumbling, keeping alive their spirit despite adverse circumstances etc. give us promise of a greater hope for society.
The political imbroglio also appears to endanger the latest International Monetary Fund loan package for Russia, which is considered critical to avoid a default this year on the country's $17 billion in foreign debt. __________________________________________________________________ I see, from the mutual blackened eyes and bloody noses, that you two gentlemen were involved in an imbroglio.
The phrase its assumed you refer to (but is not n the original question) is about initially stave one when the two gentlemen approach scrooge for charitable donation to help the poor at the festive many who are starving. Scrooges response was "Are there no prisons?, Gentlemen reply "yes sir many prisons", Scrooge then asks are there no work houses and the treadmill is that fully employed?", again the gentleman reply "yes sir there are work houses and a trad mill but many would rather die than go to these places". Scrooges retort was, "then they better had and reduce the surplus population" . In stave three the Ghost of Christmas Present produces two malnourished poorly dressed children from beneath his robe, Scrooge asks whose child are these and seeing there poor condition asks "have they no one, no resource? (meaning do they not have someone to care for them of something to eat or drink) The ghost replies they are of mans making the boy is ignorance the girl is want , beware of both but more so the boy. The ghost then repeated Scrooges statement to the two gentlemen from stave one "Are there no prisons, are there no work houses?" This was to be the wake up call for Scrooges whose ignorance of the real effects of the world around him were going unnoticed
The book Two Gentlemen of Verona is written by A.J. Cronin. You should make enquiries at your nearest library or bookstore.
No, there is no character called Nicola in any of Shakespeare's plays. You are probably misled because there is a short story called The Two Gentlemen of Verona by AJ Cronin which has a character in it called Nicola. However, Cronin's story has nothing in common with Shakespeare's play The Two Gentlemen of Verona apart from the title.
