Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues. Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent; for beauty is a witch Against whose charms faith melteth into blood. This is an accident of hourly proof, Which I Mistrusted not. Farewell, therefore, Hero.

उत्तर
(i)
The speakers are in the banquet. Claudio earlier was against marriage but later after seeing Hero, his mind changed. He announced that he takes his oath back if Hero will have him.
(ii)
Don John reveals that he actually feels quite hurt by society's treatment. He tries to carry out some kind of mischief when he learns that Claudio is a husband -to - be, he became inflamed with anger and desires, even more, to enact rain on the marriage by saying wrong things about Hero to Claudio.
(iii)
The above lines mean that love has its own language & every heart that is in love uses its own language to communicate with each other. People who love each other will find all the possible ways to be together & they won’t trust anybody else.
(iv)
Don John had an evil mind existing against Claudio as he had defeated him in the war which ended just before the onset of the play. He thought to do mischief to take his revenge from Claudio and decided to rain the marriage of Claudio & Hero. Later, his emotions shifted from carrying out mere mischief to intending pure malice.
(v)
Claudio said ‘beauty’ to be a ‘witch’ because beauty can inspire even faithful friends to obey their passion over their duty to their friends.

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face. Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence ..... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect. If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice. Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it often indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness. |
