Will shakespeare uses brave 18 times in tempest yet only 3 times in macbeth

✨AI Mode 

"The phrase 'will Shakespeare uses brave 18 times in tempest yet only 3 times in macbeth' is a statement about William Shakespeare's historical work, not a future action he will take. The statement is a bit overstated regarding the exact numbers, but the general point is correct: Shakespeare used the word 'brave' significantly more often in The Tempest than in Macbeth, with a different thematic purpose in each play.

"Word count and context
"While specific word counts can vary slightly depending on the edition of the play, literary analysis consistently shows a high frequency of 'brave' in The Tempest and a much lower frequency in Macbeth. 

"In The Tempest
  • Frequency: Numerous sources note that 'brave' is a recurring and important word throughout the play. For example, the education website Kibin.com, citing textual criticism, states the word is used at least 14 times.
  • Connotation: In The Tempest, 'brave' often means 'splendid, excellent, or new'. This is most famously expressed in Miranda's line: 'O, brave new world / That has such people in't!'.
  • Purpose: The frequent use of 'brave' emphasizes the themes of wonder, magic, and new beginnings on the enchanted island, often reflecting Miranda's innocence and fresh perspective. 
"In Macbeth
  • Frequency: Sources like Lightbulb Revision indicate 'brave' appears only a few times, mainly early in the play.
  • Connotation: In Macbeth, 'brave' is used in the traditional sense of 'courageous' or 'valorous,' particularly in a military context. This is seen in the captain's praise of 'brave Macbeth' for his actions on the battlefield.
  • Purpose: The sparing and early use of 'brave' creates a dramatic irony that foreshadows Macbeth's tragic descent. The audience sees his bravery twisted by ambition, ultimately leading to his downfall. The word's scarcity later in the play highlights his corruption.

  1. [Why does ai_mode capitalize 'Shakespeare' but not 'will' in first paragraph of summary? Does it not recognize Will as diminutive of William?]
  2. [In the midst of trying to extract a summary from ai_mode without its format using tables, we chanced on alternate questions like "why does" or "does" etc and found that a response to "Will" (as name) offers up no tables…]
  3. [Tables are problematic for the searcher (me) to reproduce above as a blog entry…]
  4. [After clarifying search term, ai_mode carries on to claim that the frequency of 'brave' occurs with a different thematic purpose in each play without stating what themes it has in mind…]
  5. [One can argue that the Tempest includes revenge as theme. The Scottish play includes hubris as theme. One can successfully argue that both plays resolve their themes…]
  6. [Are wonder, magic, and new beginnings themes, per se?]
  7. [One 'theme' that might be illustrated by an overuse of brave would entail an overuse of brave as a buzzword and so be humorous (if a director decided to emphasize that facet) while showing Miranda and castaways in sharp relief to the seriousness of Prospero's intent —revenge on the castaways whom he has shipwrecked on this island…]
  8. [Caliban, for instance, has serious intent when he says to Stephano regarding Prospero's daughter: "Ay, lord; she will become thy bed, I warrant. And bring thee forth brave brood."]
  9. [Perhaps Tempest makes use of many of these braves: from the Italian, adjective, bravo (feminine brava, masculine plural bravi, feminine plural brave, superlative bravissimo)(prepositional) good, well-behaved, good, skilful, capable, clever, fine, good, obedient (archaic, literary) brave, bold (archaic, literary) wild, untamed (of animals) (archaic, literary) harsh (of places)]
  10. [The frequent use of 'brave' emphasizes the themes of wonder, magic, and new beginnings on the enchanted island, often reflecting Miranda's innocence and fresh perspective. Again, one would have to spend some time with each of Shakespeare's uses of 'brave' in order to make this claim…] 
  11. [One supposes ai_mode draws the above claim from several sources but without attribution or explanation…]
  12. [In the Scottish play, beginning Act I, scene 1, Malcolm says to Sergeant, "Hail, brave friend!" then Sergeant says, "For brave Macbeth--well he deserves that name--Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel"; lastly, in Act IV, scene 7,  Siward says to Malcolm, "The noble thanes do bravely in the war; The day almost itself professes yours"…]
  13. [Is bravery twisted by ambition a theme? or circular reasoning or self-referential or something? cause Sergeant says Macbeth is "Disdaining fortune" and that's brave? need some more attribution or argument here…]
  14. [The loss of 'brave' as an adjective for two Acts doesn't necessarily produce dramatic irony from the audience's point of view…]
  15. [The lack of reference to 'brave' with regard to Macbeth after the first act does not foreshadow his descent…] 
  16. [A scarcity of 'brave' doesn't imply anything, really… alack, alas, oh me, oh my…] 
  17. [The searcher has implanted brave as significant within the search term when the searcher calls out brave's occurrences in the Scottish play as a contrast to brave's occurrences in Tempest (also within ai_mode) and this demonstrates how ai_mode can be diverted…]
  18. [The kibin source —the education website —appears to be a writing service that offers many essays from which to choose…]
  19. [This is an example of the additional syntax —in parens —that ai_mode attaches to one of the links within its summaries: (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&rct=j&url=) https://www.kibin.com/essay-examples/an-analysis-of-textual-criticism-of-shakespeares-the-tempest-ZfDGVqvp   (&ved=2ahUKEwjVyYuX9vuPAxWoGFkFHbS8NUMQy_kOegYIAQgHEAE&opi=89978449&cd&psig=AOvVaw3zsaphNLOVpVZP5ALgdmYe&ust=1759164929599000)]
  20. [On MIT's Shakespeare pages, Tempest has 18 braves while Scottish play has 3 braves. The statement is a bit overstated means what? Show us other sources, other plays, please? After billions of dollars invested in Google's AI, 'statements overstated' should live as a kind of  phrase? "It is a tale told by an idiot," as Macbeth would say.]
  21. [One of the important uses of the internet for scholars is to track what other scholars are investigating by searching an interesting topic and casually surveying article titles and abstracts. I'm afraid that ai_mode and ai_overview are obscuring search results and thereby confounding scholars who need to see whether a topic has been done to death or whether that topic might deserve more investigation.]

"Although a nuclear confrontation based on fake intelligence may seem unlikely, the stakes during crises are high and timelines are short, creating situations where fake data could well tilt the balance toward nuclear war. "The evolution of nuclear systems has led to further ambiguity in crises and shorter timeframes for verifying intelligence. An intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia could reach the U.S. within 25 minutes. A submarine-launched ballistic missile could arrive even sooner.  "Many modern missiles carry ambiguous payloads, making it unclear whether they are nuclear-tipped. AI tools for verifying the authenticity of content are not sufficiently reliable, making this ambiguity difficult to resolve in a short window. "The likeliest nuclear hotspots are also the arenas involving actors with low levels of trust on both sides — be that the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party or Russia, or India and Pakistan. Even if communication is established in a...

Digital ID tracking system

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has moved forward with regulations establishing a smartphone-based national digital ID and tracking system, disregarding objections from organizations like the Identity Project. These new rules are based on the REAL-ID Act of 2005 and set the standards for how states will issue digital versions of driver’s licenses or ID cards, which will be accepted by the TSA and other federal agencies for certain official purposes. However, these rules do not extend to airline travel, where no ID is legally required, despite the TSA’s misleading statements to the contrary. Under the TSA’s new regulations, digital IDs can only be issued to individuals who already possess a physical driver’s license or state-issued ID card. Additionally, individuals are still obligated by state laws to carry their physical ID while driving, even if they have a digital ID on their smartphone.  This shift is not primarily about improving driver’s license technolo...
